My favorite track for the month was the Noel Sanger track, “What Are You Looking For.” I’ve enjoyed Sanger’s production pretty consistently in the past couple of years (tracks like “Trapped” and especially “My Prayer”). This Florida resident is relatively unknown in the traditional mass media musical world, although in the electronica world, he’s certainly made a huge impact over the past decade. Touring frequently with Tiesto certainly hasn’t hurt his image, but it is his production that caught my attention. If you want to check out his DJ’ing skills, check out his Summerbreeze mix comps, especially Summerbreeze 2.
