The French pioneer of house music Klingande is back with another hit: "Somewhere New" in collaboration with DJ and producer duo M-22. The track is on the label Ultra (and EGO in Italy, Universal in GSA, Sony / Jive Epic France and Family Tree in Scandinavia).

The combination of female soul voice, guitar melody, soft bass and calm piano make the single a perfect and danceable summer hit.

Klingande biggest hit "Cheers" has to date over 72 million streams on Spotify and 144 million views on YouTube. Despite this enormous success, the French DJ rests in no way but works diligently in 2016 to turn it into his most successful year. With the track "Riva" he laid in 2015 the foundation stone for this successful year. "Losing U" followed in February 2016 and reached more than 2 million views on YouTube and almost 8.5 million streams on Spotify. And this year he not only promises many more hits but also a very special live tour: He has secured support by various musicians playing to his beats live guitar, violin, harmonica, drums or even saxophone. Thus Klingande is clearly on the fast track for 2016 and we are anxious to see what there is still to come!

 [item value="10"]Klingande feat. M22 - Somewhere New[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The excellent Klingande is back with another instant anthem this time with the support of M22. The track Somewhere New is a beautiful electronic pop deep house production with balearic guitar riffs, funky deep basslines, chunky driving grooves and uplifting piano chords along with cinematic strings and warm atmosphere that keep you swinging and dancing. The female vocals are just ace with that romantic sweet nostalgic tone that adds that great folk music touch to the superb hit that makes you wanna simply feel it from head to toe. The summer is coming slowly to an end and this top track will make you remember it for ever. The remix package will bring more happiness as well. M22 Club edit is the mainstage future house version with pumping basslines, thumping grooves and great atmosphere with acoustic guitar riff in the breakdown that will mesmerize your ears. Solidisco remix moves in the tropical house direction with relaxing grooves, driving basslines, xylophone melodies and sunkissed atmosphere. Epic Empire remix is moving in the trap style with that slow jamming sexy trap groove. Lastly for those chill out moments Naxxos remix is smooth dreamy relaxing and absolutely mesmerising. #PureGold Love It[/content]

The Bearded Man has spent many an evening in love. Many a nightcap. Many a late night stroll in love. Many a lazy afternoon. But mornings? Not so much. Somehow the morning usually seems to have that sobering effect of making us look back on the previous day's decisions with a hint of regret. Our hero is not too proud to admit that he's snuck his way out of more than a few awkward situations early in the morning around dawn. But, you know what they say, "Judge not lest ye be judged!" and so forth. Still, there's one thing The Bearded Man DOES love each and every morning, no matter where he's returning from, no matter where he's heading. The crisp morning air as his beard flies in the wind on his trusty motorcycle is just about all he needs. Now that's true love right there, and if anyone gets it, it's fellow compadre Kiso.

"Where did we go wrong?" The Bearded Man asked. "Hey I thought we had it all!" He continued. He was, of course, referring to the money. The money that he and Sebastien were *supposed* to have stolen from the bank just now. "Ok, let's just retrace our steps," Bright Sparks chimed in. "So first, we robbed the bank. Right?" "Right." All three of them agreed on that. "Ok," Bright Sparks went on, "So we robbed the bank. Check. We got the money. Check. We... DAMNIT! WE LEFT THE MONEY DIDN'T WE?" Not the world's greatest heist, and certainly nothing worthy of Ocean's 18, or whatever movie they're on now. But, to give credit where credit is due, banks had *just* been invented the previous year, so they were pretty much the new trend of the moment, kind of like techno is now. No one really knew what they were supposed to do with these banks, or how to run them, or what "protocol" was. Security was low, and forensic scientists didn't yet exist, so the three would-be thieves got away with it completely. They may not have gotten the money that day, but the *real* reward was the journey shared amongst friends. Ok, not really. The real reward would have been the gold. They screwed up. Bad.

 [item value="10"]Sebastien feat. Bright Sparks - Gold[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The Bearded Man presents another very strong contender to crossover to the mainstream radio stations playlists. The well known artist Sebastien collaborates with Bright Sparks who offers magnificent passionate performance for Gold. Melodic deep smooth house at its very best with deep basslines, chunky steady groove, guitar riffs, piano chords, vintage synths and cinematic atmosphere that brings warmth and reassurance. The lyrics invite you to sing a long and the whole production in the climax has truly epic sound with nice classical strings. Not just Gold is #PureGold. Love It[/content]

Of all the time periods he's been through, the 1980s has to be the weirdest time The Bearded Man has ever experienced. From TAB to the New Coke, to all the Wall Street execs perpetually cracked out in search of their next high-pressure million, you can't deny that the 80s was pretty weird. "I can't believe we let this happen," The Bearded Man thought as he watched yet another rerun of The Price Is Right. "Someday, we're gonna pay for this" he mused. Despite all of the many, many, many shortcomings of the 80s, The Bearded Man looks back fondly on the time when all it took to be happy was a large cheese pizza and enough quarters to hit the arcade. Sure, those days may be gone, but the legacy lives on... Televisor and River remember, but the Sound Of Love is truly a step up from most of the music that *actually* came out of that god-forsaken dark age. Remember when Rick Astley *wasn't* a joke?

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The Bearded Man strikes back with his instant hit record Sound Of Love featuring River on vocals. The track is  gorgeous and will brand back memories of French futuristic disco house anthems as it is packed with Niles Rodgers style guitar licks, funky electronic basslines and great groove that invite you on the dancefloor. It is the perfect that you dance with friends at the aftermath of a crazy night out as you start getting closer together and everything and anything is possible for the rest for the night! #PureGold Love It[/content]

10th frame. Tensions were running high. The spectators in the gallery let out a tense sigh, exhaling clouds of cigarette smoke in the process. This was gonna be close. Two contenders left - The Bearded Man and Gus "Stretch" McGinly, South Africa's premier bowling champ. So far, the "X's" vomited across the score card had shown that neither of these two players were backing down. Nothing but strikes for either player up until now, so it was all going to come down to the 10th frame. The Bearded Man went first. Strike. Strike. 9 pins. Damn. Damn damn damn. Next was Gus. Strike. Strike. STRIKE. BUT WAIT! "You crossed the line!! Mark it zero!!" "What?" "You know! You know! You crossed the line! Mark! It! Zero!!" And with that, The Bearded Man won the championship. Winning isn't always glamorous folks, and neither is doing the right thing. But winning is winning. And The Bearded Man knows how to win.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Just excellent electronic pop anthem on The Bearded Man. Magnificent deep basslines, uplifting grooves, magical relaxing breakdown and excellent climax with great trumpet riffs that support the feel good piano chords. With organic flavour in this top track has vintage nostalgic elements to it that simply awake memories from the past and give you some form of reassurance for the future. #PureGold Love it[/content]

The story goes like this: Before overfishing was a thing, The Bearded Man used to love going out fishing on a tiny boat late at night. If you know anything about The Bearded Man, you'll know that it was never about actually catching a fish. In fact, it was so much not about actually catching a fish that one day he found he had made himself a little friend. A tiny fish kept swimming around his rickety paddleboat. Eventually the two got to talking, and they started trading stories. Our hero would talk about climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, the fish would talk about swimming the Mariana Trench. The two became fast friends. They shared philosophy, party stories, and talked about what it was that they liked about the moon reflecting on the surface of the water so much. One day, The Bearded Man said: "You know what little fish? You and me were meant to be. In and out, you're a beautiful sole." And then he spent the next several years of his life apologizing for that TERRIBLE pun. (He's truly sorry.)

AOwA is the new emerging Danish duo that was born out of the  musical companionship between the two long time friends – Nicolai Kornerup and Hannah Schneider.Their incredible track Sommer is relaxing, smooth, captivating but very mesmerising as well so you will feel carried away from it. The interesting thing is that despite being in Danish the track sounds incredible and the artistic music video reflect the zest of the band to make its mark in the world of electronic music and the incredible depth of the production adds to the truly cinematic anti-summer hit. #PureGold

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The MK Dub mix is truly awesome. Deep dark fat old school basslines, warm strings and distorted vocal samples to transform the pop kids into the perfect club kids. PSB Deep Dub Mix is great for those who want to concentrate on the great electronic melodies with some vocal snippets upon the deep pulsating basslines and thumping grooves. Offer Nissim Drama Mix is epic full of melodramatic moments and great energy that runs throughout and charge your adrenaline levels. Superb return for Pet Shop Boys with lyrics that stand out and make you think that no country better for modern electronic pop than UK. Big love to both of them. Love It[/content]
