It’s that time of the month again–The Love List is back!

It’s tough going through endless music, so we hand-select 20 tracks every month to share with our Lovers.

Composing this List is a laborious mission, as so much amazing music hits the shelves every day; but we battled our way through hours of digging and prepping to bring you these 20 incredible tracks released in January 2016.

This month we feature fantastic house, techno, and electronica from many amazing artists! This month, we start out a little indie, go into full tribal tech house mode, and then wind down at the end.  An entrancing mix from start to finish, we know you will be adding some of these to your catalog.

The Love List is one place to find what music we’re feelin’ every month. Enjoy!

Although this track was released early in the year, it was good enough to get re-released by the label and good enough for us to include in the list!

12) Joseph Gaex – La Tribu (Original Mix) [Tatun Records] 2016-01-18
I recently have a huge fan of Joseph Gaex and everything off Tatun Records.  These guys know how to make some serious Afro-tech.

Axel Doorman gives us this afro-centric tribal jam called ‘Namibia’ which takes us right to the heart of the dark continent with its tribal vocal and techy drums.

Another tribal banger, the use of percussion on this, along with the ethnic vocals, stand out and keeps us locked in the groove!

15) Matos – Luna (Original Mix) [Mezcalina Records] 2016-01-15
Easily one of my favorite tunes in this mix, the vocal, heavy groove, and crisp percussion just keeps me going and going!  Expect this one to be in sets for months to come.

16) Sergio Murcia – Arab (Original Mix) [White Music Records] 2016-01-18
A serious banger from Sergio with a dash of middle eastern flair gives this tune just what it needs to make it into any set and in this month’s list.

Such a great collaboration between these two artists who deliver with this mystic and hypnotic tune!

Deep, tribal, and techy, just how we like it!  A great remix from Juan to keep you moving and grooving.

19) JJ & Andry B – Fallen (Extended Mix) [Rise Records] 2016-01-29
Such a beautiful and entrancing tune. The blend of ethnic instruments and modern vocals makes for a gorgeous piece of music.

Monaberry has been putting out tune and tune lately and they just released their latest VA that features some pretty amazing music including this one. A perfect way to end any mix.
