Doom's Night (Laidback Luke Remix) |
Kontor |
Even though we all know that Timo’s mix of this classic track set the world on fire, and in someway defined a sound that was to churn out of speakers for some time to come, Luke reminds us quite BOOOMBASTICALLY...what a hot track that was...and is now turned once more. » SJ |

Fedde le Grand |
Get This Feeling |
Cr2 |
Fedde has proven to be not only one the hottest producer going but also one of the most diverse. Get This Feeling is more of a mainstream sounding house joint with vocoded vocals in the vein of a Cassius or Daft Punk. Sweet strings build nicely into the very catchy instrumental. » AR |

Patch Park |
Got That M |
Little Mountain |
If you have not heard of Patch Park yet, then you probably aren't a fan of of the tech/progressive house crossbreeding that is occurring of late.

Danism & Kenny Bobien |

Osunlade |
My Reflection (DJ Gregory Remix) |
Strictly Rhythm |
DJ Gregory nails this one out of the park with a moody, driving mix with a killer bassline and haunting vocal. A nice change of pace from his usual Africanism vibes as this one is a little more main room, prime time. » AR |

Groove Junkies f. Wendy Brune |
Work It Out |
MoreHouse |

Filthy Rich |
Gimme the Bass |
Toolroom |
| Generally, unless you are a booty DJ, its best to stay clear of tracks titled like this. But hidden behind this terrible moniker, is a tech-house smasher that tinges on a tribal influence. Huge drums and a mondo-bass drop make this a club hit without question. This one will be your tried, tested and true pick of the week. » SJ |

 |
Leger & Lake |
Word |
Rising Music |

Jorgensen vs BSD |
I Don't Care |
Toolroom |

Santiago & Bushido |
Head Trick |
Potty Mouth |
| These two Chicago natives are turning heads, and now they will turn yours. This track is making the waves in both house and tech-house circles, and even the electro wizards are showing some love. There is a reason why Native Instruments is looking to create a Santiago and Bushido drum software kit, and it isn’t because their tracks are lame! » SJ |
