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

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

3 4
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

4 5
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
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 10
Lil Mo Yin 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

7 11
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

8 12
King Unique Sugarhigh Curfew

Could be the greatest King Unique production ever, or simply one of the most poignant pieces of what would become tech-house which emerged in the early part of the 2000/2001. Whatever way you slice it...it is back, remastered, and ready to do the damage that your ‘bunged’ up vinyl pressing never got to do! » SJ

9 15
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

10 17
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

12 18
Kate Lawler Screw You Leaders of the New School

Something about Kate screams goodness, and not because her last name is Lawler...i do believe this is her first romp into productions, and she has indeed come out in fine form. Think super nasty late night bumps! » SJ

13 21
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

14 13
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

15 24
Salome de Bahia Outro Lugar Stealth

Holy sick EP Batman! This release has a flavour for every moment in your tech-house journey. Sick, nasty, rolling electro... what have you! Our personal pick goes to Ed Kane’s & Dirt Bag cut... pure grit!!! » SJ

16 26
Eddie Thoneick & Till West f. Alexandra Prince Hi n Bye (Guitarra Remix) Ambassade

Anthem for the summer... this amazing latin infused vocal house monster is primed for terrace season. Alexandra Prince's addictive vocals combined with the synth stabs and slick guitar riff make for a hands in the air monster! » AR

17 25
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

18 23
Jean Claude Ades A Musica Swings Records

Gaining steam from his last serious of releases, Ades is set to go stellar with this bunch! Like a fusion of proper bumping tech-house elements mixed with the epic progressive sounds he is noted for! » SJ

19 20
Steve Mac & Paul Harris You (Tom Novy Remix) Toolroom Trax

Steve Mac & Paul Harris certainly no stangers to these charts... they have that knack for producing quality house music and their latest on Toolroom is no exception. Throw is a killer remix with sweet keys and a little funk from Tom Novy and you have a burner for the dancefloor. » AR

20 28
Against the Grain Sim City (The Remixes) Unreleased

Call it tribal, call it tech-house, call it whatever, but so long as you call it nasty, dark and full of bad-ass-ness...you would be right! » SJ

21 31
Marascia & Dusty Kid Sawless / Sineless Systematic

If you want that rolling, melodic progressive tech ditty that you just cant seem to find anymore with all the whirlling/whirpping synth/tech house numbers piling up in your track basket... don’t blink... you just did. » SJ

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

Dennis Ferrer Change The World King Street Sounds

Dennis Ferrer is at it again. This man simply churns out burners time after time. On Change The World, the Jihad Muhammad Vox Mix fills it out with moody pads, synth stabs and great deep atmosphere. » AR

25 34
Anthony Grant Wanted Shanghai

They say the best way to play the big rooms is to write what’s in them. Anthony Grant took that to heart with this, pseudo-arabian-synth progressive house monster that must swell the woofers to infectious proportions. » SJ

26 36
Pornstar Bad Girls Need Love 2 Influential House

This is one bad mutha... big room vocal loop, big room synths, big room drums... the trancey-influenced synths underlying the tune may just take sway you to hate, or to love it... your tastes be warned! But the more main-streamed underground dance dj’s (they do exist) will be caning this! » SJ

27 39
Meck f. Dino So Strong Frenetic Music

There's something about Meck's 80's retro vibe that is quite intoxicating. So Strong is another captivating anthem that will have hands in the air and people singing along as loud as they can. This is a festival monster for certain! » AR

28 42

Updated for 2008, Shawn Christopher's classic Don't Lose The Magic gets some fine reworkings from the likes of David Morales, Cube Guys, Bobby Blanco, and the standout from Baggi Begovic & Soul Conspiracy. A must for the vocal house crew as this classic stands the test of time. » AR

31 46
The Shapeshifters Treadstone Defected

Lola's Theme is one of the greatest feel good tracks we've had in recent years, and the latest gem from the Shapeshifters camp Treadstone carries on in that vein.

32 38
Phonat Ghetto Burnin Mofo Hifi

33 40
Mastercris Last Funky Girl on Earth Stereo Cool

Get ready for a hardcore synth workout... Mastercris delivers a slick funky key laden tune with a really beautiful melody. Vocals would have taken this track even further, but we still love this gorgeous instrumental. » AR

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...
