Wildcard (week 33):
Cookin’ On 3 Burners feat. Kaiit – Warning
Australian Hammond organ trio Cookin’ On 3 Burners formed in 1997, but got worldwide recognition in 2016, after French DJ Kungs remixed their classic soul track This Girl into a global hit.
Two years later, Cookin’ On 3 Burners release the lead single from their upcoming album Lab Experiments Vol. 2. Warning, which features vocals by 20-year-old Ozzy talent Kaiit, is a funky affair, somewhere halfway The JB’s and The Brand New Heavies. A punchy, hard hitting vocal banger with a great groove, that’s only one mouse click away for a whole week, as it’s the new Wildcard on this blog. You can find of the Carte Blanche Music Wildcards of the year so far in this playlist.
By the way: the instrumental B-side The Jump Off is a treat as well!

Cookin’ On 3 Burners – The Jump Off
Six weeks ago, when Warning by Cookin’ On 3 Burners feat. Kaiit was the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, I already mentioned its great instrumental B-side The Jump Off. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one to like that track, as the Australian Hammond organ trio has now decided to release it as a single in its own right.
The Jump Off, which will feature on the band’s next album Lab Experiments Vol. 2, just like Warning, is a brilliant funk track, that I would have loved to have heard James Brown’s vocals on.
For this new single, Cookin’ On 3 Burners asked B-boys and B-girls to submit their moves and represent their city. Breakers The Wildup Crew (Rome), Young Masters Crew (Melbourne), Bboy Levi (Erlangen), Bboy Bruce Wayne (Paris), and Bboy Banjo (Sunshine) were chosen to feature in the video. The result is a crowd sourced collaboration cut together highlighting their skills and celebrating the funk.

Wildcard (week 19):
Aldo Vanucci feat. Kylie Auldist – Get A Hold On This
![]()
Since his first album Straight Lift in 2007, Aldo Vanucci (‘Plymouths 14th best DJ’) hasn’t sat still. He released stand-alone singles, as well as EP’s such as Walk Like A Man (2008), Love Is Loops (2012) and Love Is Loops, Volume 2 (2013). The latter already included a bona fide classic track: Get A Hold On This, featuring the instantly recognisable voice of Australian soul singer Kylie Auldist. She is best-known for being the featured vocalist on Kungs vs. Cookin’ On 3 Burners’ smash hit This Girl, but she’s also the regular frontwoman for Australian giants of funk, The Bamboos.
Now, six years later, Get A Hold On This is included on Vanucci’s second full-length album Digging For A Living, and once again, the track is pushed forward to perform its promotional duties. This time, The funky original is accompanied by a pair of soulful remixes, courtesy of The Allergies and Dr. Rubberfunk.
Get A Hold On This by Aldo Vanucci feat. Kylie Auldist is this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard!
In the Wildcards 2019 playlist you can find all of this year’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcards so far.
Werner’s Weekly (week 35)
In my Carte Blanche Music playlist I keep you up to speed with the best new music that was released this year, so far. Mind you: it doesn’t pretend to give you a full overview of all new releases. On the contrary, I only present you with great new songs. In other words: following my list saves you a lot of time browsing numerous other playlists and listening to songs you probably don’t like… #tipoftheweek 😉
Last week, I added the likes of Dubstar, Plain White T’s, Rea Garvey, Smallpools & The Aces, and Villagers to my container playlist. But if 14 additions are too much for you (no offence), below you’ll find Werner’s Weekly, your compass to the music that matters. If you’re only looking for the best of the best, here they are, alphabetically ordered and preceded by the two latest Wildcards:
- Say Lou Lou – Golden Child (Wildcard this week)
- Cookin’ On 3 Burners feat. Kaiit – Warning (Wildcard last week)
- Áine Cahill – Beauty Is A Lie
- Ed Struijlaart (feat. The Hornaments) – Guitar
- Romes – Out Of It
- Sam Fender – Dead Boys
- Yonaka – Fired Up
As usual, clicking the links provides you with extra information (both serious and fun facts), and you can listen to all seven of the songs via the Werner’s Weekly player in the sidebar. Enjoy!

Carte Blanche Music Top 2018
Ahead of your favourites among this year’s Carte Blanche Music recommendations, which I publish on New Year’s Day, I round off 2018 with my personal choice.
The last year, I introduced you to 1104 great new songs via my container playlist Carte Blanche Music; over 65 hours of music. Exactly 500 of those translated into a written endorsement through this blog. In other words: only one out of each 11 suggestions (and one fifth of all of my posts) made it onto the Carte Blanche Music Top 2018.
I’m very proud of this year-end list, as it differs largely from the majority of charts you’ll find. Just a few statistics:
- 58% of the tracks feature female lead vocals (up from an already impressive 43% in the Carte Blanche Music Top 2017)
- 43% of the tracks are guitar-based (rock is dead? Think again!)
- Apart from British and American acts, my list contains artists from Australia, Norway, the Netherlands, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, Ireland, Estonia, Germany, Sweden, Hungary and South Korea
- By consequence, you’ll not only hear lyrics in English, but also in French, Hungarian, Spanish, Portuguese and Korean
- Needless to say, my year-end list contains no proper hits whatsoever 😉
The Carte Blanche Music Top 2018 features 100 tracks by 100 different artists. As making that choice was hard enough, the songs are sorted alphabetically. Just use the shuffle button if you prefer another order 😉.
I hope you enjoy listening to the list via the Spotify player. Meanwhile, you can read my original recommendations through the links below.
Your Favourites (2018)
Happy New Year from ‘all of us’ (that’s me) at Carte Blanche Music! Like the past year, 2019 will undoubtedly be full of musical surprises. Especially when you’re open to let some new sounds into your life. And if you don’t have the time to find them yourself, please let me help! Simply follow the Carte Blanche Music playlist on Spotify for daily updates of great new music, or bookmark this blog.
Carte Blanche Music doesn’t intend to list all new releases. On the contrary: I make a strict selection and only give you the best new music, twice a day. Since last year, I restrict the number of recommendations to two per day: one around 9AM, and the other around 7PM (CET). This limitation provided for a 35% increase of the number of views per post in 2018.
This brings us to the question: which of my recommendations have been viewed the most throughout the year? In other words: what are your favourites of 2018? The answer is: a totally different set of songs than my year-end list, the Carte Blanche Music Top 2018 😉 and that’s totally fine!
Just a few statistics to kick things off:
- Your Favourites (2018) contain nine songs that were in Your Favourites (2017) already, and apparently stuck with you
- The full Top 3 of your list contains Dutch artists (in total, there are 21 tracks by acts from the Netherlands. Dutch fans are the best)
- 36% of the visitors are Dutch (like myself… Hi mom!)
- 19% of the visitors are Americans, 16% are from the UK; a total of 87 nationalities have come by in 2018 (dank je wel, thanks, merci, obrigado, danke schön, etc.!)
- 26% of all traffic comes from direct searches for specific titles, so Carte Blanche Music also seems to have an archive function
- Other important referrers are Facebook (22%), and Twitter (13%)
- Impressive: the relatively high position of Mokono’s debut single Signs, the final Carte Blanche Music Wildcard of 2018
Okay, I can hear you thinking: ‘Don’t bore us, get to the chorus’, so here they are… Just two more things: all of these great songs (plus 1.000 more) are in my Carte Blanche Music 2018 playlist, and the links below direct you to my original recommendations for more information. Now, enjoy the music! Read More →
Your favourites (October 2018)
Great to see the width of your musical tastes, based on the Carte Blanche Music posts you viewed most in October. Virtually every genre pops up in your Top 10. This blog doesn’t discriminate by genre, so I’m happy to see we’re on the same page.
Looking more closely to your favourites, a few things are striking: a song that I recommended in July already (La Vague by DRMS & L’Isle), suddenly appeared among the most-read blogs last month, and continued the shine at #2 in October. It’s Alright by Nona, from that same month, was a fixture among your favourites in the last months, and still stands proudly at #8. On the other hand, two songs I only published this week (O by Arthur Adam and this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, Then It Comes To Me by The Proclaimers) amassed enough eyeballs in this short time frame to appear at #3 and #7 respectively.
All of your ten favourites, which you can also find in my constantly updated 2018 container playlist Carte Blanche Music, are below:
- Sophie & The Giants – Bulldog
- DRMS & L’Isle – La Vague
- Arthur Adam – O
- Harts – Shake Ya Pants (WC)
- Satellite Stories – The Fame
- The Knocks (feat. Sofi Tukker) – Brazilian Soul
- The Proclaimers – Then It Comes To Me (WC)
- Nona – It’s Alright
- Cookin’ On 3 Burners feat. Kaiit – Warning (WC)
- Anteros – Ordinary Girl

I narrowed this selection down for my ‘best of the best’ list Werner’s Weekly, your compass to the music that matters. You can find it below as a flat enumeration (with more info behind the links), but also in the Werner’s Weekly player in the sidebar as a 23 minute short playlist. Enjoy!
