Carlo Whale drops Echoes of You Chart: a refined journey through Melodic House & Techno
Carlo Whale proves himself not only as a producer but as a curator with a clear artistic vision. His Echoes of You Chart reads as a personal manifesto: ten tracks that map the sonic territory he inhabits, opening with his own cut «Echoes of You» alongside TH;EN on the NOW label. At 128 BPM in Eb Minor, the track sets an emotional tone for the entire selection — floating melodies, dense textures and an architecture that balances introspection with dancefloor functionality.
The chart leans heavily into Melodic House & Techno, which accounts for eight of the ten entries. Standouts include Massano and Silver Panda's «Pa Ca» on Simulate Recordings, a collaboration already circulating in the most demanding DJ sets, and «Hot Sauce» by Kapuchon, Miss Monique and GLZ for AETERNA Records — a hypnotic, Gb Major weapon running at 129 BPM that is hard to resist on a loaded dancefloor.
Two Indie Dance entries provide essential breathing room: «Higher» by ID ID and Greggio, and «No Rules» by Notre Dame, both on Diynamic — the Hamburg imprint that continues to define a certain shade of European club sound — plus «Everybody» by Volkoder on Black Book Records. These picks prevent tonal monotony and reveal Whale's understanding of narrative arc in a set.
The sole Tech House moment arrives via Tiga and Dom Dolla's «Don't Worry Baby» on Three Six Zero Recordings, the highest-energy entry at 132 BPM, functioning as a pivot point before the chart winds down.
- Key track: «Pa Ca» – Massano, Silver Panda (Simulate Recordings)
- Editorial surprise: «No Rules» – Notre Dame (Diynamic, 124 BPM)
- Peak dancefloor moment: «Hot Sauce» – Kapuchon, Miss Monique, GLZ (AETERNA Records)
- Highest energy peak: «Don't Worry Baby» – Tiga, Dom Dolla (132 BPM)
Altogether, the Echoes of You Chart delivers a coherent, sophisticated reading of the current scene, with imprints like Diynamic, Catch & Release, Siona Records and Experts Only lending weight to every selection. Essential listening for anyone navigating the Melodic House & Techno landscape in 2024.
