# 50 Artist Title Label
1 2 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

2 3 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

3 4 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

4 6 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

5 23 Spoon, Harris & Obernik Baditude Toolroom

BOOM! Anthem alert! Dave Spoon teams up with Paul Harris and the vocal stylings of Sam Obernik for a monster of a tune in Baditude. Toolroom has been putting out a lot of biggies of late, but this one certainly is the biggest and baddest. Ibiza get ready for some 'tude baby! » AR

6 40 Josh Wink Stay Out All Night Ovum

Josh Wink is back... arguably his best tune since Higher State, this moody, brooding monster combines some funk samples with building percussion and lovely rhodes stabs. Deep and delicious fare from Mr. Wink. » AR

7 24 Lil Mo Ying Yang Reach Strictly Rhythm

What!!!! If you don’t know this track, stop djing... go buy it... smile, restart your career! A welcome addition to any record bag, whatever you play!!!! CLASSIC! » SJ

8 38 Hatiras & Flipside Tribute Hatrax

The king of Canadian electro-ass kicking, Hatiras, pumps a nice synth-churning ditty sure to turn your noggin up in tribute to the old school jams, throw in the oh-so-modern, yet Chicago style vocals of one MC Flipside, and what you have is an infectious groove. » SJ

9 29 JCA p. Solaphonics Total Love (Raul Rincon Rootz Remix) Milk and Sugar

Queue the funky piano... check. Queue the diva vocals... check. Queue the funkiness... check. Another slice of funky soulful feel-good house music from the fine Germans at Milk and Sugar. Raul Rincon steps it up on the remix for best effect. » AR

10 10 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

1 -- 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. Deep and dark, yet refreshingly big enough to trounce a big room, Patch Park are emerging as early favourites for our tech-house artists of the moment! » SJ
2 1 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

3 5 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

4 7 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

5 9 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

6 8 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

7 24 Lil Mo Ying Yang Reach Strictly Rhythm

What!!!! If you don’t know this track, stop djing... go buy it... smile, restart your career! A welcome addition to any record bag, whatever you play!!!! CLASSIC! » SJ

The king of Canadian electro-ass kicking, Hatiras, pumps a nice synth-churning ditty sure to turn your noggin up in tribute to the old school jams, throw in the oh-so-modern, yet Chicago style vocals of one MC Flipside, and what you have is an infectious groove. » SJ

9 39 Bit Crushers Time to Werk (Padley & Special Mix) Little Mountain

Although littered with a plethora of solid remixes, this EP’s gem is the Padley & Special cut, which although seems quite timid, puts a bass hurtin’ on the floor that few can resist and most will not forget. » SJ

10 23 Spoon, Harris & Obernik Baditude Toolroom

BOOM! Anthem alert! Dave Spoon teams up with Paul Harris and the vocal stylings of Sam Obernik for a monster of a tune in Baditude. Toolroom has been putting out a lot of biggies of late, but this one certainly is the biggest and baddest. Ibiza get ready for some 'tude baby! » AR

Danism team up with Haze for another deep, moody winner on MN2S. Blippy keys, 90s acid house style beats and a definitely groove will get the heads bobbing. » AR

6 42 RC Groove f. K Ladawn Too Much 4 Me Peppermint Jam

Peppermint Jam are back with some hotness... chunky, funky house with slick guitar riffs and soulful vocals. Pick Samir Maslo's mix as he takes it nicely to the afro-funk vibe or RC Groove's version as it hammers home the funk. » AR

7 44 Tortured Soul Your Dream Is My Dream (Jon Cutler Mixes) Coco Soul

Coco Soul is quickly becoming one of my favorite destinations for rich, deep, soulful house music. This time Jon Cutler flexes his remix muscle with a beautiful take on Tortured Soul's latest. Amazing vocals, smooth keys, and groovy bass... everything a proper house track needs. » AR

8 -- 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

9 46 Inland Knights Back Chat Drop Music

The Knights know how to drop the funk and Back Chat is the perfect example. Deep, chunky, funky and bumping beats, what we've come to know and love from Inland Knights. » AR

10 50 Brett Jackson & Orion f. Jade A House Is A Home Wot!

Formed in 2007, South African imprint Wot! is impressing. Their 4th release is a smooth, deep vocal offering from frontman Brett Jackson and fellow South African Orion. Sweet vocals from Jade, moody keys, and an infectious bassline work wonderfully over the crisp percussion. » AR

::: Andy Cato Interview
Never in the history of dance music has someone with so much talent so successfully avoided the media’s avid attentions. Of course, if you study generations of pop music, you’ll see that behind every spotlight shining full beam into the lives of A-list singers, there’s a bevy of affluent songwriters lurking anonymously in the background. Yet not only has Andy Cato written ten years worth of Groove Armada anthems – alongside the band’s co-founder Tom Findlay – he also stands centre stage at their breathtaking live shows, raising his trombone to the skies, showcasing the dozens of hits that have led the band to phenomenal, international success...
