1 2
Supafly Inc. Be Together Eye Industries

In the vein of Bob Sinclar comes a Marley-esque vocal house joint. The remixes really make this track stand out as TV Rock gives it an upfront electro ride and Ian Carey goes for a tropical soundclash. » AR

2 3
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

3 5
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

4 6
Danism & Kathy Brown Light Up My Life MN2S

Another vocal monster from the MN2S camp. Danism have been on fire of late this time teaming with the incomparable Kathy Brown. Whether it's the pushing kicks of the Electronic Soul Mix or the tribally goodness of the Audiowhores version it's a champion of the vocal arena. » AR

5 9
Rune RK Day in the Dark EP Underwater

Just when I was thinking, haven't seen anything devastating from Underwater in a bit, they release this...a truly wonderful and simply ‘complete’ 3 song ep from Rune RK. WOW. Great pack, DJ delight for certain! » SJ

6 8
James Harcourt Bitch Tits (Rezone Mix) Bug Eyed

Just in time to make you sweat, Harcourt shows up big with a grimey tech-house number sure to add some dirt to your evening... follow the bouncing synth! » SJ

7 7
Shonky Time Zero (Paul Ritch Mix) Freak n'Chic

Minimal with a funky twist... refreshing. The musicality of Paul Ritch's mix really elevated it from your standard minimal fare into something a little more delectable and definitely more playable. » AR

8 12
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. Muthafunkaz kill it in their traditional style but for something unique and super cool check out ATFC's Lectrotek Vocal. » AR

9 10
Leggz & Femi B The Things You Do Peppermint Jam

This one has a very addictive hook that really draws you in and will have you humming it all day, and that's where the appeal is, it just sticks. Not overly fussy or complex it's just catchy house music. » AR

10 11
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

11 15
Eddie Thoneick I Wanna Freak U Tonik

The debut release on Eddie's own Tonik imprint is an absolute monster! Sampling the vocals from Jodeci's hit Eddie gives it his trademark funky electro house style and churns out an absolute anthem. Pick the Classic Mix for that feelgood throwback vibe or Kurd Maverick or DJ Delicious' remixes for a tougher jaunt. » AR

12 16
Copyright f. Imaani Wizeman Defected

More deep and brooding sickness from Copyright. This time the lush vocals of Imaani drip like honey over the rich and grooving instrumental. Check out the Peaktime mixes for a little more aggressive workout... top notch deep house for sure. » AR

13 17
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

14 18
King Unique Hinode (Fergie Remix) Curfew

Wow. Not that KU needed any help making a track huge, but where the f**k did Fergie come from with this sound! For those of you that wanna piss on the brutal hard-house crap that used to churn out of this man, put aside the hate and get on board the tech-house Fergie train... like a DJ makeover. » SJ

15 19
Funkerman Speed Up Defected

BOOM! Another anthem from Defected. Partner in crime with Fedde le Grand, Funkerman is making his own name stand out as of late. This one is sexy, tempermental, and ready to rip your dancefloor, so hurry up and get on it! » AR

16 22
DJ Wady & Patrick M Hulk Cr2

This wibbly-wonky (almost switchy) tech-house number combines that synth-popping style that the world has grown to love of late with a twisty and prominent bassline perfect for hiding out underneath everything, willingly holding down the fort. Solid number. » SJ

17 20
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

18 13
The Beatthiefs f. Shena Why Did Ya? Sutil Vox

Funky little stomper with some nice vocals and a fine selection of remixes. For those who like it chunky check out David Tort & DJ Ruff's dub, for those who like it deep go with Homm & Popoviciu's mix or for those that like it funky Sheriff delivers. » AR

19 14
The Rurals I'm Lost Digipeng

The Rurals have that knack for making delectable, sensual vocal house, and I'm Lost is no exception. Brilliant vocals, lush soundscapes and hot remixes from the likes of Ananda Project make this a must. » AR

20 23
Eddie Thoneick Dancin Tonik

Get your hands in the air... the 2nd EP on Eddie's newly launched Tonik is a stormer as well. Glitchy, funky and all with a sweet diva vocal. This is head bobbing house at it's finest. » AR

21 24
Maal Nobody’s Sayin Phonetic

Pretty hot track, nice vocal...but its Daley Padely’s afterhours mix that brings out its dark and sexy style. Like a woman who finally finds her style and flare, Padley brings a feel all his own to it, making it something to look out for, much like his career...on the rise. » SJ

22 25
We Deliver f. Erire Supernatural Nocturnal Groove

Sensational! Whether its the gorgeous original or the techier Shapeshifters remix this one is primed for peak time. Great vocals from Erire and a hook that gets instantly looped in your brain. » AR

23 28
Gregor Tresher A Thousand Nights Pt 3 Great Stuff

So, if you already loved the original, which most techno lovers do...then you will love the remixes even more! Dubfire gets a hold of it for some seriously sick DUB action, and for those who want to know who is an undiscovered techno gem, lend an ear to Patrick Zigon, this guy is the real deal. » SJ

24 27
Glitch Crumple Zone Benchmarc

These are the kind of all over the map electro/switch/techhouse jamz that even though you may not play yourself, you just have to own it. Why? Because your a music head, and music heads love weird sh*t! So pick it up already and tell the world, or at least your mates..how bad-ass it is! » SJ

25 29
Tom de Neef & Laidback Luke Humanoidz (Arno Cost & Norman Doray Remix) Jack Squad

Arno Cost & Norman Doray kill it here with a big room working of this techy bumper. Yes the keys are a little trancey, but the overall vibe retains that house feel with slick percussion. » AR

26 36
Nicole Moudaber vs Mel & Kim Get Fresh (Mark Trophy Knees Up Remix) Nocturnal Groove

This one is a bumper, kind of throws you off at the start, almost makes you
think you are about to go on another switchy-electro ride; but no... it comes
correct! Sickness... proper bump, proper groove; simply proper remix. » SJ

27 32
Rudder On Top Crazy 88

The track most likely to receive the Micky Slim award for the week, definitely this krunk-acid-electro bitch... on Top. So simple you think you could do it yourself, and then you realize... you can't! Werd to the mommy-f**ker! » SJ

28 38
Alex Cappelli Bloody Notes Great Stuff

This ‘popping’ popcorn-esque tech-house tank, will oddly enough, be too infectious for your dancefloor to pass up; something st-arange about being strange; is that everybody usually likes it! » SJ

29 34
DJ Joe K Nu Life Building Records

Someone has been doing their homework. Someone, has developed a very conscise style, that seems almost too perfect, but alas the track works. Consider it a moody and melodic tech number that delivers the late night bumps when needed. That someone incidently is DJ Joe K. » SJ

30 40
Eyereel Allstars f. Lucy Clarke Get It On (Fish n Chips Mix) Red Stick Recordings

Hands in the air, the disco is alive. For those who love the feel good tunes of Hed Kandi and Defected you will love this smiles-all-around tune. Simply feel good disco house from the Strictly Rhythm affiliate imprint. » AR

31 39
Florian Meindl Blast Trapez

This low-key techno bit, has all the right elements to blip its way into your sets seamlessly! Good textures, and a sound rumbling low end persona give this one the green light to go! » SJ

32 42
Itamar Sagi Black Gold Be As One

This late night tech-house ditty, brings a little synth-love along with its high hats and shakers! The groove and melody, although not overwhelming, are more then enough to take you along for the ride. Get with it! » SJ

33 41
Indo Phunqe Beta Bug Aciitone Red

This full on textural-landscape of a track, flirts between dance-floor friendly and techno head, and in the end ultimately doesn’t truly decide which one it is; for the heads or the feetz? Worth the listen, so you might as well decide for yourself. » SJ

34 43
Jaimy Feel the Funk Fatal Music

Don’t know what it is about this one, but its a little dark, has a nasty shake to it, and for some reason... the chez vocal really reminds of those ol’ lights out days with monsieur Lawler! In essence, this track will creep all over you! » SJ

35 45
Nils Nuernberg Move It Up 1Trax

From MN2S' darker imprint 1Trax comes this little deep house bumper from Nils Nuernberg. Very San Francisc-esque vibe and the crisp hi hats and head bobbing kicks make it work. » AR

36 44
Lars Schneemann Name & Number (Kid Chris Mix) Bug Eyed

Although keeping to its tech-house beginnings, this track flirts hard with some trance sensibilities! The ebb and flow of this one however is a smooth melodic trip that is a well seasoned traveller looking for some people to share on the adventure. » SJ

37 46
Marco Bailey & Tom Hades Exorcism MB Electronics

This is just one of those tracks... those, ‘I could have done that’, ‘that melody is so easy’ kind of tracks... but you didn’t... they did... and it rocks... I smell festivals all over the world cuing this one up! » SJ

38 48
Samim The Lick Get Physical

Now that he’s got your attention... it's clear Heater was just the beginning on what will be an assault on your low end techno loving ears... no point in getting into details... this tune bumps! Yes... bumps! » SJ

39 47
Paolo Jackson f. Shena Funkt Sheer Dance

Every version of this track is all over your face, one night stand, glitchy tech house, no ifs ands or buts. If you love that style, buy this record! Opt for the Schossow Remix if you want the heaviest!!! » SJ

40 49
Matador Satires Aciitone Green

This one is a purely dysfunctional number that will have you tech-twitching...but be sure to rip the Lutzenkirchen version to truly get evil! This one will have your holy water smoking in seconds! » SJ

41 --
Allstars Thriller Heaven Recordings

Ya know we are such suckers for a good Michael Jackson remix. Although this one verges on older Swedish House Mafia style, we still can't deny its good natured chugging dance floor capability; so... here ya go, just one more Thriller remix worth adding to your library. » SJ

42 --
Booka Shade Charlotte Get Physical

Well, when the Booka get busy they get deep. This one is no exception. Dark and brooding, with all of that low end goodness you have grown to love, and the techno elements that make you writhe, jump and shout. Add a man of the moment remix from Dubfire, and what ya get is a sick-ass techno release. » SJ

43 --
Goodwill & Tommy Trash Its a Swede Thing Cr2

Just one of those stand up and like it tunes! Possessing great dance floor sensibility and enough tech-to keep even the trendiest party people on the floor, this one is meant for the clubs. » SJ

44 --
Muzikjunki Music Digi

This little bad boy, hidden in the middle of the EP, holds the essence of the junk in the trunk, funky style of Muzikjunki. The ebb and flow of this track has a ‘Rene-Amesz’ quality stamped all over it. » SJ

45 --
Oliver Klein & Peter Juergens Scoville Kling Klong

At this point we are just about willing to play anything that has the Kling Klong imprint on it. The techno/tech-house has been churning out nasty, bumpin cutz for some time now, and we figure its about time you all took heed. This is no exception... go Klein, go Juergens (you may remember from Mutekki fame). » SJ

46 --
Paco Buggin & Joy Marquez Is Stereo Stereo

Consider it a new take on the massive ‘ In Stereo’ track of the same label some time ago, this new take, ‘Is Stereo’ is a proper rendition crafted by the upstart Paco Buggin, whose name seems to be ringing off just about everything these days. » SJ

47 --
Veros & Vench Roll It (The Bulgarian Mix) PBR

Glitched out tech-funk from those fine lads at PBR. For fans of the sound some say Micky Slim pioneered this is for you. Dirt, grime and nastiness for your dancefloor. » AR

48 --
Pulse The Lover That You Are Jellybean Soul

Straight up no-nonsense vocal house with an old school flare. We've been seeing a lot of old school disco vibes of late and this one hits right there. A Jellybean Benitez classic from 1995, Marlon D & George Mena update it to a more current sound while maintaining the heart and soul of the original. » AR

49 --
Jayvee & Piwi Reggae Culture (Scheurmann Remix) Affin

This is the true embodiment of late night SEXY techno. Brooding, melodic and yet still somewhat seductive. Bring on the darkness, let these drums roll. » SJ

50 --
Ivan-I & Jason Howell Funky Moves Tarantic

Deep and chunky house yet again from Tarantic. This little gem comes complete with a fine set of remixes to suit a variety of deeper tastes. For me either the smooth keys on the JasWho? Remix or the tougher Amit Shoham mix take the prize. » AR

::: The Shapeshifters Interview
The Shapeshifters are London DJ and production duo Simon Marlin and Max Reich, also behind long running club night Nocturnal at AKA, London, the party hang of Nocturnal Groove – the boys’ and Lola Marlin’s record label. Party people at heart, the pair met when Simon signed Max to the Down Boy record label that he was working for. Musically, Simon found his enthusiasm for house on the dancefloor in the late 80’s and early 90’s, while Max got into production via a passion for techno honed whilst throwing illegal raves in his native city of Gothenburg...
