Summer 2022 is the summer of dopamine-inducing house stabs paired with dirty basslines as far as we’re concerned, and Baltra’s standalone single ‘Tell Me’ is very much continuing this most lush of trends. Effortlessly catchy, the track builds from simple break stabs into some euphoric Eurodance-esque melody — overlaid with a smooth vocal sample asking “Tell me what's the vibe?” It's slick and high-energy, and destined for late-summer lipsing on beachside dancefloors.

Already pounding its way through the festival circuit, with plays at Dekmantel, Houghton and Field Day — ‘Grito’ is a relentless club track delivering that exact kind of dancefloor sauce we have sorely missed for so long. The main show is of course that shattering tribal guarachero drum, stomping above a cacophony of eerie vocal samples and decadent percussion — with a congruous tempo that never seems to let up. We dare you to listen all the way through and somehow keep your shoulders still, an impossible task.

Inspired by the most summery place on earth — Ibiza, the lead track from Scottish producer’s ‘Beefa Soundies’ EP is a tech-house-infused, piano banger full of modern character and tongue in cheek humour. Taking elements from every side of the island: the woozy Balearic symbols, the raging naughty tech-house beat, the euphoric house vocal samples — but combining it all to create a track that is effervescent and current. It’s an absolute wafter is what we’re trying to say… gang, watch those wrists.

News of a dance music-inspired Beyoncé record got us all excited this month, and it was difficult to determine which offering from her 16-track album was the one we wanted to hear on the dancefloor the most. After much thought, the honour had to go to the pounding ‘Pure/Honey’ — a devilishly catchy banger full of sexy, low-pitched basslines and boisterous kick drums, easily erecting a Pavlov's dog reaction out of even the most pop-swerving of ravers. It's near impossible after a few listens to not find yourself unintentionally imitating Bey smokily moaning “get that money honey” and “It should cost a billion to look this good” over the beat. The breakdown is a mixture of some good old fashioned 2005-era R&B and ever-so-camp disco rhythm. Horny pop at its finest.

O’Flynn and Frazer Ray join forces on the summer belter ‘Satyr’, a vocal-led garage track falling straight into the lap of Ninja Tune’s Technicolour sub-imprint. “Satyr started as a super-stripped, dark 2-step garage track,” the pair said on the brand-new single. “It then went on to have about three completely different versions before we settled on the final mix that you can hear today”. Landing in the midst of the UK’s summer heatwave, ‘Satyr’ is a call to your local park, tinny with your pals on a warm summer’s eve, or by night, a killer dancefloor anthem when the pair take to a wave of joint gigs across the UK.

A track we’ve had on repeat throughout the commute to work is this soft build-up to James’ upcoming album. A slow song is usually not what ravers want to hear but this is no boring Coldplay track, this is a work of art that teleports you into a state of calmness. Singing “maybe if I” it feels like James’ anxious thoughts are hymns that question within your mind not just hers.
