Anyone that goes to Beatport, Traxsource or even JunoDownload can easily glance at their Top 10 or 20 and preview what is "supposedly" the top-selling tracks overall or by genre.
Probably the worst offender here is Beatport who's charts reflect nothing but utter shit leading me to believe that their charts, more than any other, are manipulated by the labels that release them.
I consistently see a bunch of repetitive droned-out garbage that wouldn't catch the attention of a gnat much less an entire dancefloor perched at the peak. Sure, there are few gems that rightfully show up there but not many.
I probably spend more time digging through their new releases and archives trying to find the songs that are worthy of inclusion in one of my underground house sets. I don't always get it right, but I know what I like and can easily gauge what followers of Party Favorz like as well; meaning, I am usually on-target with my picks.
When I'm coming up short, I'll look beyond these services for dubs or alternate versions of popular songs which are catchy but stray so far from the original; you'd never know it was a particular song. I like those finds.
Dopamine is one of those sets. While still tech and house it does lean towards a more funky vibe that I tend to favor. I had a lot more songs than what's represented here but cut the shit out of it to keep the vibe I was going for consistent throughout, while (hopefully) not losing your attention. I think I hit my mark.
There are flourishes of Latin house throughout this set, which is relevant given the recent revival of 60's era Pete Rodriguez' "I Like It Like That" which was re-worked into a number one...
