So far, this winter can hardly be called a winter, and you won’t hear me complain about it. In February, weather record after record was broken. It looks like this is reflected in your favourites of this past month. There’s a sunny vibe running through this Top 10, which features the most read Carte Blanche Music recommendations of February.

Dutch producer Sir Notch has not one, but two tracks amidst your favourites. Last year’s Gimme That Sunshine still resonates with you, while his latest single (a co-production with his youth friend Tommy The Sound) stands proudly at #2.

Talking about being proud: the only two established artists in your Top 10 are Pet Shop Boys and Dodgy, all of the other entries are emerging – or even debuting – acts. You guys have great taste!

Below are your 10 favourites. You can find them all (and many more) in my daily updated 2019 container playlist Carte Blanche Music:

1. Videoclub – Roi
2. Sir Notch & Tommy The Sound – Miami Vice
3. Cassia – Small Spaces
4. Picture This – Modern Love
5. Nadia Sheikh – Toxic
6. Lydia Briggs – Down
7. Dodgy – Staying Out For The Summer ‘19
8. dodie – Monster
9. Pet Shop Boys – What Are We Going To Do About The Rich?
