Splittr |
All Alone (Michael Gray Remix) |
Electron |
ANTHEM ALERT! Splittr's brilliant All Alone is amazing on it's own, but throw in a four to the floor stomping mix from Michael Gray and you have a prime time banger. Tough beats solid vocal stabs and slick usage of the chord progression to create massive tension all work to get those hands in the air. » AR

Barbers Pole |
Kling Klong |
Taken from the forthcoming artist album, Word of Mouth, Martin is just about to cement himself globally as the next big ‘minimal’ techno guy (although we all know its tech-house), either way, this pulsating and melodic number is just one example of how good this guy really is. » SJ

Umek & Matthew Hoag |
The Santien Race |
Little Mountain |
This epic synth builder will be sure to evoke the emotion and connection from the dance-floor, although very reminiscent of the 1999 anthem ‘cream’, this track only verges on trance keeping the its tech house sensibilities well intact. » SJ |

Jesus Jackson |
Damn |
Physical Graffiti |
The original might be a bit to much pimp disco for the seasoned underground ear, but the novadub version(s) bring the bump with some synth funk to make it well worth the shopping cart on Beatport. » SJ |

His name is running around the countryside right now, and for good reason. If tech-house is your bag, tune in as everything this guy writes is seemingly gold, Boogie Nights is the next one to look for! » SJ |

Lisa Millet & DJ Device |
One Day You Want Me |
HiLife |
What can I say, I LOVE Lisa Millet! Her vocals just touch my soul the right way and "One Day You Want Me" fulfills that promise yet again. Whether it's the soulful original or Bad To The Bone & Booker T's funkier mix, this is vocal house bliss. » AR |

Toni Granello f. Linda Lee Hopkins |
Lift Him Up (The MuthaFunkaz 12 Inch Remix) |
MAP Dance |
Soulful yet still bumping house joint from rising Swiss producer Toni Granello. Where this track really gets elevated though is in the hands of veteran producers The MuthaFunkaz (DJ Spen & Gary Deane). This is prime time for all the vocal house heads without a doubt. » AR |

Discount Rhinos |
Me, Myself, & Fuzz |

Tough, teched out glitchy house at its best. The chopped beats, the quirky vocal stabs, the use of melody in a creative way, all make this track speak on a lot of levels. The sickness meter is busting on this one! » AR |

Inland Knights |
Where Ya At |
Raise |
Taken off the Chewy Mango EP, Where Ya At jumps out with it's chopped up percussion and cool pan-flute lead. While not as bassline driven as past cuts, it still has that funky and bumping flavour we've come to love from the Knights. » AR |

Blackfeel White |
First Night |
Moonbeam |
A gripping, prog-rock vocal (almost Gahan-esqe) laid over some very dramatic synths, opt for the remixes for a bit more tech-bump, but overall, this baby's sweet. » SJ |

DJ Vibe & Carlos Fauvrelle f. Alan T |
Hot Room |
Stereo |
If you didn't expect a late night peak-time number from these two guys, I strongly suggest you take a closer look @ their respective careers. Top level stuff for the all the dark corners you run around in. » SJ |

Rob Mirage |
Techno Girl (David Lara remix) |
SOLAR |
Although a virtual unknown, David Lara tracks are slowly but surely filtering there way into the bags of the elite, this remix is no exception. Keeping the best parts of the original, and adding a slink all his own, this ace comes up spades for us!» SJ

Danny Clark & Jay Benham f. SuSu Bobien |
Wonderous |
Strictly Rhythm |
Strictly continue to churn out the burners! Wonderous is soulful, gospelly goodness at its finest. SuSu's vocals are on point as always and you have a tremendous selection of mixes to suit the most discerning tastes.

The Beatthiefs f. Shena |
Why Did Ya? |
Sutil Vox |

Don Diablo & Grand Jackson |
Streets of Fire |
Sellout Sessions |
We are not sure if it's just because we liked the movie of the same name, or if it's because this track’s Hystereo/Justice/French-Funk feel... but we do love this one! Smack the speaker all you like with this number! » SJ |

Benedetto & Farina f. Akram |
I Miss U |
Work Machine |
A wide variety of styles can be found on this pack but for me the almost Red Carpet feel of the Prax Paris remix does the trick. Very French, very lush and the chords although a little towards the cheese side give it a more complete feel. » AR |

Paco Buggin vs. Zhio |
Opions |
Iberican |
Paco Buggin, are very quickly running up the list on my favourite producers as the moment. Their tracks are lush and basstastic, all at the same time. This track is no exception. With the help of Zhio they create something fantastic. Turn to the Dario Nunez cut if you want that slick late night goodness! » SJ |

Bimbo & Lemar |

Flatpack Traxx |
Glitched out San Fran/Chicago style house that you'd find all over a Mark Farina offering, quite a feet for two chaps from Bulgaria. It's got that bump so stretch out your neck as there's some serious head-bobbing a'coming. » AR |

Debbie Tebbs |
Plastic Planet |
Elektrofone |
What’s not to love about this tech-electro chugger. It bumps, it thumps, it crunches too! If you need even more glitchy power...opt for the Joy Kitkonti remix (where has he been all this time!). » SJ |

Kid Culture & Niels Mariee |

Usually, a rejigged, reworked singles set isn’t all that much to write home about, but this particular one, has some choice bits on it... give it a listen... you may like what you hear... a lot. » SJ |
