Here are the top ten posts on Core News that were published in June 2015.

The Essential Mixes dominating as always and we gotta say that we really enjoyed the mix from andheim as they brought summer deep house vibes to our ears. The andheim has been going on repeat since it aired June 6th!
Also cool to see that a Mixmag mix is in the second spot.
One mix that did not make the top ten, but is worth mentioning is the NTS radio show from Bonobo. You should definitely check that one out.

It comes to no surprise that the David Guetta Essential Mix is number 1 for last month as it actually i an enjoyable mix filled with old school house tracks. You should give the Guetta mix a chance if you were put off by thinking the mix was filled with stadium EDM.
No other unexpected mixes last month as the top ten list is filled with Essential Mixes, Gilles, Benji and a couple of Diplo shows.

Seems like popularity of the Diplo shows have faded a bit as there are non among the top ten for April. Instead there is a nice mix of quality Essential Mixes, Gilles Peterson and Benji B shows.

The only surprise on this months top list is that we see a show from Annie Nightingale among the top ten for the first time. I guess she is helped by Flumes popularity. It is also nice to see a Core News favorite, Jon Hopkins, getting some well deserved recognition as he gets the top spot.

The Essential Mixes and Diplo taking the top spots last month, but for the first time Annie Mac was able to sneak herself into the top 10. Her Sundays shows are really enjoyable if you have had a rough weekend with a lot of raving.

For once it is not an Essential Mix that tops the list, but the awesome Detroit Special from Benji B! If you like the shows from Benji B and Gilles Peterson you should definitely check out Rob da Banks show where he plays new “left field” electronic music and tad of indie and hip hop.

Happy Holidays to all Core News readers!

It is time to have a look at which posts that were most popular on Core News in 2013. The top 26 list is totally dominated by Essential Mixes, as you might expect. Some of these mixes are really great and I gotta say that 2013 has been a good year for electronic music.

Due to my 3 month hiatus from the site some mixes probably are missing and the list is a bit skewed after Core News lost quite a few readers from this break, so my wish to all Core News readers is to spread the site and posts that you enjoy around the interwebs to keep Core News growing again. Thanks 🙂
