One Lonely Knight - Arto Mwambe Beisswenger and Phillip Lauer ran into each other when releasing solo 12"s on Punkt Music (RIP) in the early 2000s. Since then they've been sculpting a live sound with the occasional release on underground german labels. This track outlines their deep skudge electronic crushed up rhythms
Belle Rive – Nicolas Masseyeff Following a string of well received EPs, Nicolas released a solid album "Motherland" on Stephan Bodzins 'Herzblut' label. This is one of several standout tracks, deep with pulsating synthesizer waves and an overall theme that’s both uplifting as melodramatic.
Can You Feel It (Supernova Remix) – Chez Damier Chez Damier has played close witness to many of the pivotal moments in the history of house and techno and 'Can You Feel It' stands up against every house record ever made. 20 years later Supernova adds to the package with a deep, rich, typically twisted, rolling groove.
Simple Girl (Tiger & Woods Remix) – Dale Earnhardt Jr T&W have placed their very gifted, very dance-oriented hands on the single, remaking it into a chilled-out upbeat electronic song for any weekend fiesta. Billowing soprano vocals scat for most of the seven minutes, intermixed with coquettish xylophones and drum machines. It’s smooth, lush, vivifying, and one song that will stay on rotation for the next few weeks.
Heartbreaker (Extended) – Crazy P
The UK musicians in electronica outfit Crazy P started out with a deep love of house and disco. Their fifth album, When We On, is a buttery mix of beats with the honey-hued tones of Danielle Moore. Today's Top Tune is "Heartbreaker."
In Love – Tim Green Feel-good, atmospheric, sunny-side disco-inspired piece. House at its finest with its smooth vocal cuts and creamy synth lines. A golden wave of dance club nostalgia comes over us in the most beautiful way, whilst holding its sounds rooted in the modern Tech House scene.
Jazz Fusic – Chris Lattner Fuse resident Enzo Siragusa, teams up with Lattner to create a querky little houser with a twist of a smile about it, Chunky kicks, overlay statements and a groove melody you can switch the lights off to.
Elements Of Fife (Main Mix) – The Revenge Scotish rising star, Graeme Clark, started creating a skewed blend of electronic music using a couple of his dad’s old drum machines, a 4 track and a sampler. This has continued to develop producing tracks like this slow grooving New York / Chicago style percussive house club jam
Playdo (Laura Jones Remix) – Matthew Burton & Nick Lawson A hypnotic groover, the original mix of 'Playdo' is alive with quirky sonic detail and trippy spontaneity, the spring-like sounds and spry electric keys provide ying to the yang of the moody bassline, clicky drums and evocative vocal ris
Step Aside (Lightweight) – Life and Death A slice of laconic lazy house with growling, pulsing bass line gradually turning more and more analogue and acidic as the warm enigmatic omnipresent pads infuse snarling dismissive vocals…serious sonic skullduggery.
Under The Sheets – Maceo Plex Fresh release from Jonny Whites’ No.19 Label, ‘Under The Sheets’ uses a deep hypnotic bassline, old school drums and distorted vocals to create a song which is mesmerizing from start to finish.
Relax (Jordan Peaks Rogue Rework) – Nicco The combination of a pumping bassdrum, garage-house style snares, rolling bassline and techy synth stabs makes this one of Jordan Peaks signature tracks.
Quell – Real People Working with labels such as Ibadan, These Days, Offering recordings, Kolour Recordings and Blockhead Recordings, Quells music is not easily put into one category. Full of heavily reverberated vocals and uplifting strings make this track one for the old school house fans.
Think About It (Maceo Plex Remix) – Martin Dawson With a firm 'family' feel, Pets Recordings have been lucky enough to play host to many of their talented friends, all feeding off the special close-knit vibes to turn in some of their most special work. I heard Matt Tolfrey play this tune at Krankbrothers which started tearing at the seams as the deep groove bassline flowed through the temporary loft conversion. Infectious vocals, uplifting tones and alternating atmospheres… Maceo still leads the scene.
The Sun Can't Compare (Long Version) – Larry Heard This timeless track is mesmerizing, drawing on subtle features of acid house which recall back into the glory days of the rave movement whilst painting a deep atmospheric picture with pin-point edits, 303 pattern hat slaps, stripped back beats complimented by sensual vocal lyrics. This track has been slipped into a plethora of different genre sets, from deep dark techno to house to future garage.
Lady Luck (The Groovedoctor Edit) – Jamie Woon Man of the moment, Luciano was seen smashing various live edits of Lady Luck all summer at his Pacha and Ushuaia residencies and across his fully packed worldwide DJ roster. Overlaying the pure tone vocals of Jamie Woon along with a set of other sample suprises into his usual portfolio pumping underground tech house tunes, Luciano was able to recognisably carve out the summer party landscape.

Amame – Intruder Now and again a track emerges that is effortlessly cool as well as being an out and out show stopper which leaves a constant enquiry of what is this?and how can I get hold of it? Well thanks to the guys at Defected for sending it over to me last month, this track is an absolute anthem, electronic scaling riffs, kick clicks, hat taps and the most infectious vocal of the summer.
"A 90 minute journey through the dark techno tinged sounds of house, twisted bare grooves, emersive clicks & clacks and scattering snares worked over driving tribal rhythms. After months of careful crafting, the mix delves into and out of underground recognition whilst showcasing an essential selection of collaborations between electronic musics most esteemed artists."
