The Top 25 has four new entries: #18 Triangle Sun "Buddha"; #15 Triad Dimension "Leaving"; #10 Berny "Minha Querida (Original Mix)" and #2 Gaelle "Separate Rooms." Gaelle's entry almost mirrored Michael E's "Barcelona" four weeks ago where he entered the Top 25 at #1 and has remained there. Berny has has numberous tracks in the Top 25- 4 tracks as Berny or Berny and Guru and 2 tracks as Bunkerstudio. Triangle Sun, an electronic group out of Russia, Gaelle and Triad Dimension are experiencing their first Jazzy Lounge appearances ever.
PNFA's "Tumble Weed" (25) skipped two weeks before reappearing as it makes its 10th appearance in 2011. And Rhodescreen's "Supervision" (22) previous entry was November 28, 2010.
The balance of the tracks in the Top 25 are continuing their streaks from two consecutive weeks (24 BERNY & GURU "The Breathers (Original Mix)"; 21 Simon Le Grec "Lonely Hearts, Pt. 2"; 19 Blue Six "I Tried to Tell You"; 14 David Kassi "Faculty of Deep"; 7 Worldwide Groove Corporation "Midnight In Venice (Featuring The Mystery Singer, DJlo)")
to as many as eight (Cay Taylan "Beijo (dZihan&kamien remix)(23)"; L.O.C "Wounds"(4)).
Koffee Brown's smooth R&B track "After Party" (3) was originally released in 2001 and still maintains it's magnetic vibe. For a touch of Carnaval and Brazil, go no further than Bungalove's "Saturday Song" (5). I like a little funk in my songs and a thumpin' bass line that PNFA's "Blue" (6) bountifully supplies. The Eastern hemisphere (Asia) and the Western hemisphere (America) are woven together in the exciting track by MoShang and "Inbetween" (8). Celso Ricardi lays out a gentle guitar solo in his lounge track "Another Year" (10). I love the dreamy scenario painted by Air and Love in "Erotic Nightmare" (11). Blue Six's "You Used to Rock" (12) and "Music and Wine (Speakeasy 3000)" (20) are at four consecutive weeks and they are "rockin'"! The vibraphone and vocal sample intro in Bonobo's "Distant Lands of the Heart" (13) takes you immediately to a dream state. Of all the remixes of "Drumming Up a Storm (Remix)" (16) by Bob Holroyd this, in my opinion, is the best. Love it! Making eight appearances in 2011- 5 consecutive- is Rhodescreen's dreamily orchestrated track "Peace System" (17).
Until next week- peace, love and music!
P.S. As a sidenote there are ten tracks at 120bpm or greater- that represents 40% of the Top 25. I think the Jazzy Lounge audience loves to dance!
