TALK



Saving the best till last. This newcomer is making waves in the dub industry, 'Holy Mountain' packs a deathly dark drop that comes out of nowhere. Skittering bass and the odd tropical drum sample make this a super current release that keeps a unique edge.

Talk - Holy Mountain

PRINCE CLUB



This ones a grower. With support from the likes of Mowgli, these two young producers are attracting some serious attention.

Prince Club - Love Jackson

TEETH




Championing Dreamtrak's remix of 'See Spaces', swirling orchestra samples make for very delightful listening. However, Dolby Anol's stripped back, vocal enhancing edit has to be the favourite with it's irresistibly funky beat.

Teeth - See Spaces (Dreamtrak Diamond Sound Remix)

Teeth - See Spaces (Dolby Anol Remix)

LIGHT YEAR



I'm completely won over by any track with sax samples, but the sax sample from Pulp Fiction?!?! Why hasn't this happened before.

Light Year - Marcellus

THE CHAIN GANG OF 1974



This track is seriously warped, but in the best possible way. Toadally Krossed Out's remix of 'Hold On' is innovative to say the least, and infectious doesn't come close. RIBBIT!

The Chain Gang of 1974 - Hold On (Toadally Krossed Out Remix) 

THE CRAYON FIELDS



The Crayon Fields are a four piece Australian band, keeping up the Oz reputation of delivering some of the world's best synth pop around, helped along dreamily on this remix by Opulent Sound.


The Crayon Fields - All the Pleasure of the World (Opulent Sound Remix)

SEI A


Sei A's 'Who Dares Wins' would be the perfect soundtrack to a trippy nightmare with it's ghostly vocals and dark whirring, winding bassline, but it's funky snares and bells keep you from screaming.

CLOUD NOTHINGS



Something completely out of the usual, but it's fun to break rules

Cloud Nothings - Understand It All

DRUMS OF DEATH



Kicking off with a bassline that SHOUTS that what's coming next is going to be brilliant, 'Won't Be Long' is the best sound to come from Drums of Death in a while. This track wouldn't have sounded out of place 10 years ago, but it sounds just as fresh now. Listen for yourselves..

Drums of Death - Won't Be Long

RUSS CHIMES & TONY SENGHORE




This track builds and builds until you give up guessing when it's going to drop, then it does and its nothing like you expect. Tony Senghore totally freshens up Russ Chimes' 'Targa' into a squeaking pitch shifting fidget-house extravaganza.

Russ Chimes - Targa (Tony Senghore Remix)

ART NOUVEAU



Art Nouveau were picked up recently after 'Miracle' caught the ears of Yolanda Be Cool, and thus it was released on their very own LP. You'll recognise the Fat Boy Slim sample, bounced around on a thumping tropical beat, determining a promising future for this French duo.

Art Nouveau - Miracle

DIDZ




Not much information floating around the interweb on this artist, but thanks to the Future Garage Forum we have 'Feelin Soul', and it comes packing some deeply penetrating garage beats.

Didz - Feelin Soul

DOC DANEEKA & GATTO VIOLA




Putting Wales on the map,  Doc Danneka & Gatto Viola's 'Backstabbin' Angie' is some seriously funky UK funk house with soulful garage vocals on the repeat to keep you grooving throughout.

CUBIQ



Getting minimal with Cubiq. 'Hushed Up' winds up and down beautifully until it hits you with a drop you won't be expecting.

Cubiq - Hushed Up (Basic Human Nature)

A-TRAK



A-Trak's 'Ray Ban Vision' is suitable nowhere but the dancefloor. Bouncy B-more brilliance.

A-Trak - Ray Ban Vision feat CyHi Da Prynce

FAR EAST MOVEMENT




The chorus of this track will be etched into your brain at least a couple hours after listening to this, it's huge, drudging and "so so fly, like a G6". Spot on Far East Movement  remix by Big Syphe.

Far East Movement - Like a G6 (Big Syphe Remix)

ZOWIE



Zowie is one of the latest electro-pop princesses, but with a slighty darker edge. Hailing from New Zealand, 'Broken Machine' is making it's way around the ears of the world with it's irritatingly addictiveness.

Zowie - Broken Machine (Pete Wiggs Remix)

RAMPAGE



Rampage serves up a living, breathing killer in his latest release 'Big Breath'. It's a little more subtle and polished than previous tracks but with a dark hypnotic build it hits you with a ear piercing drop, highly recommend.

Rampage - Big Breath

Rampage - Loving You Is Easy

Rampage - War (Blatta & Inesha Go To Luanda Remix)

PURPL POP & WARRIOR ONE



Purpl PoP's 'The Way' is given some serious funking up by London duo Warrior One in this competition winning remix.

PURPL PoP - The Way (Warrior One Remix)

AC SLATER & MUMDANCE



AC Slater here on a thumping collaboration with Mumdance. 'Transatlantic Riddim' is huge, with Badness & 77Klash on the vocals.

AC Slater & Mumdance - Transatlantic Riddim feat. Badness & 77Klash

HOT CITY


Hot City, aka DJ Haus & Benz, aka "We need some more girls in here!" are dominating at present, their ultimately club/dance friendly releases have shot them right to the top of line ups all over. Supporting the likes of Fakeblood they've been tearing it up recently around all the top UK venues. Bad Autopsy supply a highly recommended edit of their most recent release 'Twist'.

Hot City - Twist (Bad Autopsy Remix)

Hot City - Twist (Chopped Dub Edit)

DJ Haus & Benz - More Girls

DJ Haus & Benz - Freakin' Hot

THE COUNT & SINDEN




Count & Sinden back again this time remixed by Lone with a quick-paced rave sounding throw back version of 'Addicted To You'.

The Count & Sinden - Addicted To You (Lone Remix)

ARCHIE HAMILTON



Archie Hamilton sprinkles some stardust over Markus Nikolai's 'Bushes'. Co-founder of Moscow Records he's been busy lately promoting new mixes and releases, hopefully they'll be as classic as this edit.

Markus Nikolai - Bushes (Archie Hamilton's Innocent Understatement)

TIMMY P



'Pursue' is a hellish, mind melter of a track. Deep, dark, and groovy.

Timmy P - Persue

TENSNAKE


This Tensnake track has been everywhere over the summer, it's sounding nostalgic already. The 90s vocal samples paired with the unapologetically euphoric bell chorus pull you in at every climax. ALSO don't mix this genius stripped back edit of previously posted Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar".

Tensnake - Coma Cat

CAJMERE



Cajmere says it's time for the 'Percolator', and you'll be percolating all night to this.

Cajmere - Percolator.mp3

BRENMAR



Brenmar sways slightly towards a dancehall, RNB sound in 'Back Beating', but keeps it thumping with a deep beat underneath some fun bouncy, tropical/slot machine sounding hooks.

Brenmar - Back Beating.mp3

MICHAEL CLEIS, MOTORPITCH & BEWARE




Super dirty, exotic, trippy sounds in this track from Michael Cleis. Helped along by Beware & Motorpitch to turn 'La Mezcla' into a thumping, grimey bassed up beast.

Michael Cleis - La Mezcla (Beware & Motorpitch Edit).mp3

DUCK SAUCE


Love/Hate? Killingly catchy release either way from Duck Sauce

Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand.mp3

ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD






Zombie Disco Squad haven't been wasting any time lately, these two brand new tracks are among their best productions yet. Never limiting themself to a particular sound, 'Hobo' and 'Danca Do Zumbi' both pack a completely different punch.

Zombie Disco Squad - Hobo.mp3

Zombie Disco Squad - Danca Do Zumbi.mp3

ALOE BLACC & OLIVER $



It doesn't get much cooler or catchier than this track from Aloe Blacc. The soulful vocals flow over a choppy jazz beat while old skool sounding lyrics give it a classic feel straight away. Don't miss

CAMEL




Deep, tech-house tribal sounds in these two tracks from Camel. The hypnotic eastern melodies and pounding beats of 'Akin' oppose the funked up, jazzy rhythm of 'Smoking Trumpet'.

Camel - Akin.mp3

PASSION PIT



More Passion Pit remixes by Borgore and Shuttle. 'Sleepyhead' is stripped back with a subtle dubstep beat, emphasising the vocals and grimey bass. 'The Reeling' is given a thumping bassline and big room sounds.

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (Borgore Remix)

Passion Pit - The Reeling (Shuttle's Super Club Mega Mix '99)

RENAISSANCE MAN



No one has been hyped about more in the last couple months than Renaissance Man, and it's very well deserved hype. 'Scat Track' is a piece of genius, drifting into jazz house territory in this remix by Buried Treasure.

Renaissance Man - Scat Track (Buried Treasure Remix)

Renaissance Man - Babbadabba

CHEMICAL BROTHERS



Two excellently executed Chemical Brothers remixes by Don Diablo and Disco Of Doom. 'Swoon' is a mix to fall in love with, spacey synths and building bass frame the dreamy vocals. Whereas Disco Of Doom turn 'Do It Again' into an even darker monster than it was before.

The Chemical Brothers - Swoon (Don Diablo Remix)

The Chemical Brothers - Do It Again (Disco Of Doom Remix)

VHS OR BETA

TOM STAAR



This track from Tom Staar really hits the spot, 'Slingshot' is packed with dirty, dirty bass, and sci-fi style synths. Don't miss his remix of We Have A Band's ' Divisive'.

FOREVER THIS


Melodies to induce unavoidable head nodding in this collaberation from  Phil Weeks and
Hector Moralez. Chilled out jazz samples and thumping bass to go along with some of the catchiest vocals i've heard in a long time.

DAMB




Do not miss this from D.A.M.B, dark, epic sounding tropical house in his newest track 'Daylight'

D.A.M.B - Daylight

ALL THE CHICAGO'S



Haven't posted for a while, here's three deep/tech house tracks to get going. Wasted Chicago Youth's  'Love Thy Enemy' is a Beatport bestseller with crunchy beats and fruit machine style synths. Chicago Skyway is an acid house project showing veteran skills on the 'Glasswerks' release, and don't miss the Jesse Rose remix of Rekid's 'Next Stop Chicago'.

FOAMO



Stellar releases here from Foamo, retro sounding drum & bass production on the Warrior One remix of 'Centavo' on top of signature heart thudding wobbly bass, tribal rave whistles and vocals make it an all round banger. 'Jookie' in keeping with the tribal roots sound, ear splitting builds and horns alongwith some deep, dark monster bass.

Foamo - Centavo (Warrior One Remix)

Foamo - Jookie

YEASAYER



Yeasayer are dominating the 'alternative experimental pop' scene right now, this Udachi remix is definitely worth a listen, keeping things choppy with tropical percussion instrument samples, but keeping the dreamy, ambient vocals prominent throughout.

Yeasayer - One (Udachi Remix)

COTTAM



These luxuriously long, well constructed masterpieces are from up and coming UK producer Cottam. Crunchy, vintage sounding beats and percussion that progress on seamlessly, enveloped between some funky, deep bass and hip hop/reggae/tribal roots samples, especially recommend track two.

EXCLUSIVE VEGA



Enjoy this B track 'Mac Attack' from Mr Vega's new single 'Whopper Junior', listen to the single here.

Mr. Vega - Mac Attack.mp3

HUMAN LIFE



This Acid Girls remix of Human Life's 'In It Together' sounds like a summer house anthem already, slightly balancing on the thin line between the classic deep tech house sound and big room 'cheese', but it manages to keep its dignity with a hypnotic tribal beat and clipped vocal samples.

Human Life - In It Together (Acid Girls Remix).mp3

AFRICA HITECH



The sound of Africa Hitech's 'Blen Remix' is garage meets dancehall, on top of broken beats and thumping bass, listen to the original and side track 'Sound of Tomorrow' on Boomkat

Africa Hitech - Blen Remix.mp3

CASSETTE KIDS



My favourite edit so far of Cassette Kids' 'Spin', dubbing out most of the vocals and focusing more on build and layering of pounding electro bass and echoing synths to give more of an edge than the likes of the Russ Chimes house remix, nice work by Cassian.

Cassette Kids - Spin (Cassian Dub Remix).mp3

AU REVOIR SIMONE



Au Revoir Simone's 'Only You Can Make Me Happy' undeniably catchy on this Punches edit, but don't miss the old classic Friendly Fires cover of 'Paris' remixed by Aeroplane.
