As Chinese New Year festivities draw closer, here are a couple of tunes to bust out while you’re on spring cleaning duty.

1) Dean and Eric Bellinger, “I’m Not Sorry”

Being a pretty boy with a poppin’ setlist never hurt anybody, and that’s exactly who Dean is. Having worked with big names like Mila J and .Paak, Dean proves to be more than your cursory factory-made Korean pop star. This collaboration with Eric Bellinger is a banger, with R&B elements interspersed with all things that make a club track zing.

2) IAMNOBODI, “Found You”

This fresh drop from Berlin-based IAMNOBODI is exactly what we need for this lull week. Chill out with this smooth release that contains a slick progression backed with jazz samples and a deft undercurrent of piano and bass.

3) Louis The Child, “From Here”

Louis The Child is a rising artiste in the nu-disco community, creating remixes that are generating tons of love from fans and stars alike. “From Here” is a perfect balance of childlike playfulness and signature future bass elements. The intermittent chords and synth come together in a heady thrum that’s perfect for passing a summer’s day.

4) Future ft. Nas, “March Madness (Remix)”

Ever since Drake dropped this remix on OVO Sound Radio, the community has been set abuzz, and there’s no wonder why, as the track features Nas’ remix of Future’s “March Madness”, blessing the verses with his bars and asserting his OG status in the industry.

5) Anderson .Paak ft. The Game & Sonyae Elise, “Room In Here”

Anderson Paak aka .Paak is truly someone to look out for. Recently signed to Dr. Dre’s label, he already has an impressive range of work, featuring in Dumbfoundead and Tokimonsta’s tracks, as well as providing a whopping six tracks in Straight Outta Compton. “Room In Here” is a mellow piece of work, with the piano carrying the main tune of the track, and an addictive hook on top of the mid-tempo to really amp up the vibes.
