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

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

Get Physical |
Well, when the Booka get busy they get deep. This one is no exception.

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.

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  |
