July 30th and the Hottest Tracks of the Week
Happy July 30th everyone! That’s kind of sad to me because that means summer is almost over! The good news- we’ve got tons of festivals about to take place! I haven’t been back to any festivals yet and my first one will be Summer Camp Music Festival. Looking forward to it!

Alister Fawnwoda, Suzanne Ciani, Greg Leisz- Night Bunny

Fergie- Alpha Centauri
“The world needs more Fergie.” It’s one of the phrases commonly used by his peers to express their admiration for the Northern Irish DJ and producer. The last 12 months has provided time for reflection and time to reconnect with himself. Like a chameleon, Fergie has always been able to evolve and change according to the backdrop of the ever changing music scene and having had time over the past year for introspection, the Fergie evolution progresses to yet another new level. His journey back to the studio has allowed him the chance to experiment with new sounds, while taking inspiration from the UK’s golden era of electronica, that is a true reflection of who Fergie is and where he comes from, and most importantly, he’s now gone back to his electronic music roots to blast out an absolute banger that already has the likes of Armin van Buuren, Calvin Harris, Rebūke, Eats Everything and Alan Fitzpatrick to name only a few who are jumping on the ‘Alpha Centauri’ bandwagon.
