Well that was a good month was it. May brought the heat to the dancefloor, and from all corners of the world, and all genres alike. The month of the year home to one of the largest gatherings worldwide — EDC Las Vegas — made sure to shout out loud, and we listened.
For all that new music shaping the Dance scene and which we had the pleasure to encounter, we’ve decided to make a little recap highlighting those tunes we can’t get out of our heads. So please sit back, put on your best set of headphones, and read on, as we unveil our top tracks of the month of May 2024.
5. The Chemical Brothers — Hey Boy Hey Girl (ARTBAT Remix)
Genre(s): Melodic Techno
Release Date: May 24th, 2024
Mood(s): Groovy, Hands-up
May surprised us with the revival of a classic. Out on the legendary Positiva imprint, Artur and Batish — ARTBAT — revamped the timeless The Chemical Brothers hit ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl‘ to suit the boomy needs of today’s dancefloors. Their take retains the original’s buzzy synth texture and tension but with extra synths layered in that spray about the mix over the rolling drums. We bet it’s grown to become the weakness of all crowds. Here we go!
4. Ray Volpe — SONG REQUEST
Genre(s): Bass House
Release Date: May 31st, 2024
Mood(s): Tense, Energetic
Every once in a while, we get hypnotised by a melody that we just can’t get out fo our heads. Such is the case of Ray Volpe‘s latest floor igniter, ‘SONG REQUEST‘. This one goes one step further in the scale of singalongs, literally playing with the idea for its drops. Building up the tension continuously, the melody comes in the form of a conversation between a clubgoer and a DJ, one whose main point is a song request that goes “Baaa daa daaa“.
Honourable Mentions
As every month, there was a ton of new material which, even though didn’t make the cut into our list, shouldn’t be overlooked. This month, songs such as Anyma & Layton Giordani’s splendid remix of Loofy’s ‘Last Night’, Disclosure’s incredible return track ‘She’s Gone, Dance On’, and Armin van Buuren’s ‘High on Love’ featuring Anne Gudrun, were all super tough to leave out of the top. They did so just by a hair, though.
