This is going to be a really short effort this year. Waking up to learn that you lost both Maxi Jazz from Faithless and veteran coder Archer Maclean both on Xmas day has been a blow for you.
The worst of it all is not that there has been a lot that stands out or that is objectively worse, but just so much stuff that falls into filler category. Neither objectively bad but not good either.
Good.
Ben Hemsley Love, Peace and Happiness.
The sort of piano overdriven happy hardcore / old rave that will put a smile on your face. A joy.
Bum a boy, Burna Boy Last Last.
My tolerance for Afrobeats is pretty low, but this is catchy enough to get me through, its not Ye which with the right house track can be devastating, but will do in a pinch.
Drake. That mixtape album thing where he does house, sort of. (Honestly, Nevermind)
Its good you are making this sort of thing, but shouldn't your vocal actually enhance a track rather than detract?
Beyonce. Break My Soul
You can break break my soul. Part old Stonebridge edit of Robin S Show me luv and part shitty rap, Terry Hunter's remix is probably the best of this.
BAD
Stormzy. Hide and Seek
He's done slow ass songs before (Blinded by your grace) but this is such a slog to get through.
Aitch and Ed Sheerness coach. My G
Or Margie, a song dedicated to his disabled sister. Sung by the retarded, for the retarded.
