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.

Au Revoir Simone - Only You Can Make Me Happy (Punches Remix).mp3

Friendly Fires - Paris (Aeroplane Remix ft. Au Revoir Simone).mp3

DARK SKY AKA BOOGALOO CREW

The Boogaloo Crew plus one new member = Dark Sky
Dark Sky + Mirror Mirrors = an ambient evolving piece of 2 step, dozens of musical ideas happening at once but none imposing on the other, perfectly blending to create a track that pulses and skitters its way seamlessly from start to finish. Don't miss the bootleg cover of Jose Gonzalez's 'Crosses'.

Mirror Mirrors - Change (Dark Sky Remix).mp3

Jose Gonzalez - Crosses (Boogaloo Crew Bootleg).mp3

ACT YO AGE

Two edits of Act Yo Age's 'Song For Nona' from their new ep four feet high, Savage Skulls chop up the beat and rework the rhythm in their tropical house make over, while Coconut Wireless strip it back to the more minimal sound of the original, but with some well constructed builds and drops between pounding stutter bass. Bonus is an older Harris Robotis mix of 'The Flash' with some light hearted retro house sounds and vocals.

Act Yo Age - Song For Nona (Coconut Wireless Remix).mp3

Act Yo Age - Song For Nona (Savage Skulls Remix).mp3

Act Your Age - The Flash (Harris Robotis Remix).mp3

DEEP IN THE HOUSE WITH HURTS

Doesn't get deeper or moodier than this Tiefschwarz edit of 'Better Than Love', perfect for the big room soundsystems of the summer. Don't miss out on some other high quality tech house releases from Telonius and David Keno with the original mix of my favourite in the trio, 'Wait For More'.

Hurts - Better Than Love (Tiefschwarz Remix).mp3

Telonius - Hit Me (Ian Pooley Dub Mix).mp3

David Keno - Wait For More.mp3

DON'T WAIT ANIMATE

Not the same old rubbish with Don't Wait Animate, a five piece electro band with some substance and fresh ideas, Coin Operated Boy gives us a loud, thumping edit of '6174'.

Don't Wait Animate - 6174 (Coin Operated Boy Remix).mp3

BOYS NOIZE REMIXES

This Religion edit of 'Avalanche' builds satisfyingly enough, and then BAM you're hit with the standard Boys Noize madness, that escalates and escalates into full blown insanity. Same goes for the Boris Dlugosch remix of 'Sweet Light'.

Boys Noize - Avalanche (Religion Remix).mp3

Boys Noize - Sweet Light (Boris Dlugosch Remix).mp3

eLDOKO

Why aren't there more producers like eLDOKO, pioneering the swing house genre, these tracks are pure brilliance. One for every mood and atmosphere, from the pounding electro-fidget bass of 'Woodworm Blues' to the minimalistic exotic rhythmed 'Hotbox', all filled with jazzed up vintage sounding beats.

eLDOKO - Woodworm Blues.mp3 - Don't Miss

eLDOKO - Run For The Trees.mp3

eLDOKO - Hotbox.mp3

eLDOKO - How To Kill A Frown.mp3

IT'S VEGA TIME

Never a dull moment with Mr.Vega or a dull track, sticking close to nu disco roots on 'I'm Crazy Baby' but infusing just enough head mashing sounds and kick drums to bring it banging into the future.

Mr.Vega - I'm Crazy Baby.mp3

Mr.Vega - Don't Kiss The Croc.mp3

Topcat - Push Up U Lighter.mp3

Phuture Assassins - Roots 'N' Future (Dub Mix).mp3

Timmi Magic & PGS - Tell Me.mp3

DIPLO

Gaining number one on rcrdlbl.com, 'Four Floors' is a subtle, beautifully crafted dubstep onslaught which grows on you much in the same way as 'Staring At The Sun', very very easy listening courtesy of Diplo and Sunday Girl. Don't miss an old favourite remix of 'Veni Vedi Veci'.

Diplo Vs Sunday Girl - Four Floors.mp3

TV On The Radio - Staring At The Sun (Diplo Remix).mp3

The Black Lips - Veni Vedi Veci (Diplo Remix).mp3

KILL THE NOISE

Seems everyone's trying their hand at the tribal tech sounds recently, sign of summer on the horizon. New track 'Roots' from electronic kings Kill The Noise is a total headbanging house beast.

Kill The Noise - Roots.mp3 - Don't Miss

Kill The Noise - Pull My Strings.mp3 

SWICK

Super young australian producer Swick's release 'Grow Up' is a whole lot of fun, especially after this treatment from Cassian.

Swick - Grow Up (Cassian Remix).mp3

DirtyBeats - Alone In The Jungle (Swick Remix).mp3

TODD EDWARDS

Four remixes from legendary house producer Todd Edward's new EP 'I Might Be'. Favourite of the bunch is the FEADZ edit, ripping up the original vocals to make a bouncy, wobbly, deep and dark creation.

Todd Edwards - I Might Be (MJ Cole Remix).mp3

Todd Edwards - I Might Be (Joy Orbison Remix).mp3

Todd Edwards - I Might Be (Dear Disco Remix).mp3

Todd Edwards - I Might Be (FEADZ Remix).mp3

THE TIME AND SPACE MACHINE

Richard Norris (the man behind The Time and Space Machine) is the Willy Wonka of psychedelic electronic music, ambient and progressive, these tracks are easy to get lost with.

The Time And Space Machine - Time &Space.mp3

The Time And Space Machine - Set Phazer To Stun.mp3

SILKIE

Outstanding among most present dubstep producers, Silkie uses a fusion of jazzy blues and and forward thinking progression to create tracks that separate him from his peers, not bad for 23 years old.

Silkie - Purple Love.mp3

Silkie - Head Butt Da Deck.mp3

AMERICAN WEREWOLF

American Werewolf (formally Phantom Power) have been destroying minds all over their pacific tour with their improvisational live performances, miles ahead of just dj'ing. New releases 'Touch Me' and 'Circus of Lost Souls' prove they are a duo (known solo as Slutty Two Shoes and DJ Cameo) to keep an eye on.

American Werewolf - Touch Me.mp3

American Werewolf - Circus Of Lost Souls.mp3

American Werewolf - You And Me.mp3

American Werewolf - Roller Disco.mp3

NAT SELF

Tropical bouncy tribal house in this long lost Nat Self edit 'War' and some even deeper minimal tech and bass on his Jeff Doubleu remix of 'African Drum Concert'

WE HAVE A BAND

Always at the top of their game, We Have A Band are just about to drop the new album on April 5th, this release 'Divisive' has already been officially remixed by dozens of huge names, these being my personal favourites, all sounding so different that the original would be almost unrecognizable without the catchy vocals.

We Have A Band - Divisive (French Fries Remix).mp3

We Have A Band - Divisive (Tom Starr Remix).mp3

We Have A Band - Divisive (DJ Mujava Remix).mp3

LIGHT YEAR

A choppy, glitchy, banging nu-disco release from Light Year, 'Motor Booty' has just the right amount of everything.

Light Year - Motor Booty.mp3

JOHN ROMAN

Middle eastern vibes in these two John Roman tracks, '8000' is a completely entrancing piece of glitched house with John Roman laying down his fidget roots.

Proxy - 8000 (John Roman Lost Tourist Dub).mp3

John Roman - Ready For This (Milt Mortez AM Rework).mp3  

SOULFUNK

For sunday afternoons and morning after recoveries, these are three laidback but simultaneously uplifting deep house/funk tracks, jazz lounge piano melodies, punchy breaks percussion and memorable soul vocal samples are the magic combination. Soulphiction's 'Who To Call' was recorded live for added kudos.

Soulphiction - Who To Call.mp3

Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts - Safety Meetings.mp3

KiNK - Bittersweet.mp3

MAGIK JOHNSON

It's impossible to listen to any of these Magik Johnson tracks without wanting to BOUNCE. The Itch E & Scratch E edit is thumping and takes no emphasis away from the perfectly paced vocals, and you don't want to miss them, "never call me a fag, even when I cruise up dressed in drag, even when i'm getting f* in the ass, by a horse in a farm or a guy in a shack" and so on. Don't miss the older Karoshi Bros remix, it doesn't get much fresher.

Itch E & Scratch E ft MDNA - Other Planets (Magik Johnson Scratchin' Vocal Mix).mp3

Karoshi Bros - Love The World (Magik Johnson Vocal Mix).mp3

Magik Johnson - Move (Jesse Rose's Made To Play Edit).mp3

THE ASTON SHUFFLE

New single from The Aston Shuffle, 'I Wanna See You'. Releases from these australian producers always stick out in memory by representing the definition of big room sounds, Harvard Bass leaks the signature dirty bass all over his edit.

The Aston Shuffle - I Wanna See You.mp3

The Aston Shuffle - I Wanna See You (Harvard Bass Remix).mp3

The Aston Shuffle - I Wanna See You (DCUP Remix).mp3
