Hollis P Monroe f. Christa This Way Bargrooves

The vocal does it all on this cut. The dreamy texture, smooth stylings of Christa draw you right in and touch your soul. Almost a Tracey Thorn quality to it. Plenty of sweet mixes to choose from Andy Daniell and Hideo Kobayashi. » AR

Justin Michael & Phonic Funk f. Maiya Take Me To The Sky MN2S

Chris Lake f. Nastala If You Knew Rising Music

Chris Lake is back in a big way. His latest has that vibe and sound that made "Changes" so huge. We expect nothing short of the same from this monster. » AR

6 6
Felguk Do You Like Bass Bug Eyed

Felguk of late has been impressing the pants off us, and his track is no slouch! We hate labels, but there is no way to speak of this track without highlight the style similarities to the french synth scene, particularily Justice. If you like electro-infused FUNK, then this one will have you jumping for joy! It dips and dives in all the right places, and has enough wallop to keep you rocking all through the work week until you hit Friday again! » SJ

7 9
Late Night Alumni Empty Streets Hed Kandi

Late Night Alumni aka Kaskade sees an older gem finally get its due with a proper release. Appearing on Kaskade's 2003 mix CD SF Sessions V4 it was one of the most memorable tracks of the comp. This is vintage Kaskade, sweet sexy vocals, dreamy pads and a definite groove. » AR

8 11

Patch Park Space-Shuttle Back Pack Little Mountain

This is the latest gem from tech-progressive wonder Patch Park. His style is so beautifully refreshing in today’s electro-tastic market! Any one of these cuts will do the business, but we would push the original on you, as the build up is perfect, the groove is undeniable and the arrangement is right on! Tough one to pass up, SO DON’T!!!!! » SJ

9 12
Timmy Vegas & Bad Lay-Dee Another Dimension Eye Industries

Crystal Waters, Beatie Boys... the samples are unmistakable and legit, and Timmy manages to finely craft a unique tune that utilizes those samples to perfection. This one is guaranteed to touch that nostalgic nerve and rock rooms. Throw in a killer tech-house remix from Tom Novy and you've got a dancefloor destroyer. » AR

Discount Rhinos Keep Control Sharpie Style

The Discount Rhinos make cool music. This track fuses soulful house, and Kaskadesque vocal with their tough blend of electro. » AR

George Andrews Sideline EP LOTNS

This swirling synth-house number is perfect the upcoming year. Although rooted in tech, it’s warm tones and grooves illicit a purely house vibe, great multi-purpose album, a good mood setter for sure!

13 23

Ramon Tapia Esposa Great Stuff

This big bass bumping techno number is meant to do one thing, and that’s get the people up! And it certainly does that, tracks like this bring back the vibe ov the late 90’s and early 2000 north amercian after-hour scene, so good! » SJ

14 21

Jhonny & Peps p. SQUID All In All Out Stripped

It seems that producers are opting back into creating more melody and arrangement then the noisey business that caught fire of the last little while. This track is a testament to that movement, back to sound, back to music, truly a beautiful and melodic wonder, this one is for the back of the room, bring you all back to the front of the dancefloor! » SJ

15 24

Muzikjunki & Myu Myu f. Todd Jordan True or False Stealth

Haunting big room tune on Stealth once again. While I could do without the vocals, the instrumental is super addictive and is one of those bleepy tracks that melts your brain. This one will be making waves with a wide range of DJs... true. » AR

16 25
JT Donaldson & Giom Let's Make a Record Kolour

This is classic JT Donaldson, that bumpy, funky San Fran meets Chicago house music. Grab an old funk sample, throw in some pushing kicks, and a neck snapping bassline, and presto... chugging tune. » AR

17 26

Roland Clarke p. Urban Soul Goodbye Love (Alix Alvarez SC Vox) King Street Sounds

Soulful, moody, and smooth... typical from the likes of Roland Clarke. Alix Alvarez delivers the standout remix that is silky sweet, sophisticated house music. » AR

18 32

Parasoul Real Addiction (Quarrel Second Remix) Look Ahead Records

This is one of those smooth and powerful progressive numbers that is soooooooo intoxicating to the brain, you can’t kelp but sway to the music. It never really gets churning, but no matter, its slick composition and ethereal tones are more then enough power to work in your favour. » SJ

19 29

Evil Barby Minimal Cracker Automatx2

This is one serious little dark trotter! Nothing to intricate here, just an evil and catchy synth hook that storms over some deep minimal percussion! Sounds simple? Yes, but does it work...abslutely! » SJ

20 33

Milton Jackson Rhythm (Jimpster Remix) Freerange

Milton Jackson is known for seriously jacking tech-house, throw in the wiley veteran Jimpster on the remix and you have gold. Slick pads and synth stabs over bumping beats is a sure fire winner. » AR

21 27
Colin Dale Joy Endemic Digital

Just a nice late night tech-house ditty that makes ya feel good! Bouncy bass line with some proggier eleemnts, creates a nice smooth groovy track that’s got a personality to boot! » SJ

22 28
Gilbert le Funk, DJ Bree & Kaysee If La Musique Fantastique

An incredible vocal on this cut. While Edmund and Piers Kirwan deliver solid mixes we think there is even more potential with this one given the amazing singing by Kaysee. Nonetheless this is still a great tune ready for your dancefloor. » AR

23 34

Luomo Tessio Great Stuff

Sexy, seductive, bangin! What more could you want? Tech house imprint Great Stuff continues to do what they sau they;re going to, and deliver the goods, this one is for sure a complete scorcher, good for the boys and the girls! A must have for the beginning of 09! » SJ

24 38

ATFC f. Rae Give Me Luv Strictly Rhthym
ATFC has been on fire of late, and his latest a recreation of the Alcatraz hit "Give Me Luv" is another monster. The phat synth and pumping beats of the Oceanic Trench Mix are the ticket here to pulverizing your dancefloor. This is a guaranteed dancefloor destroyer without question. » AR
25 35

Daley Padley & Fribbs Open Minds Phonetic

We're huge fans of Daley Padley and this is another winner for him and for Phonetic. Drawing on an old school sample Daley & Fribbs update this track for 2009 and make it a big room tune. » AR

26 36

Hatiras & MC Flipside Open Up Your Eyes Hatrax

This is a tale of 2 tracks, a nasty glitchy tech-house stormer and a beautiful raggae inspired house gem. The vocals from Flipside are top notch and the melody of the song part of the track sensational. We hope some full on house treatments are coming, cause this can be a summer anthem!!! » AR

27 39

Funkagenda Breakwater Toolroom Trax

The 2008 club sensation known as Funkagenda, or Adam to his friends (and facebook stalkers) pumps out another beauty. Replete with the ethereal, yet thick’ and sensual elements that seem truly as fluid as water, Breakwater turns a colossal punch in a very subdued way. Don’t let the intensity fool you, it comes through quite strong. With remixes by Seaman&Stel and Dataworx, this one is a no brainer! » SJ

28 37

All Thieves Dexter (Idiotproof Remix) Nates Tunes

Courtesy of the Rene Amesz influence on house and tech-house, this quirky and percolating bass monkey is just as you imagine it. Big deep bass line with bits of acid synths tossed all over it like a perverted money shot! If this is your style, you can pass it up, it fits seamlessly with that chunky-tech sound. » SJ

29 40

F-Man Abstrack Flamingo

If you know anything about this label, then you know who the F-man is...but nevertheless, this rack is RUGGED! Verging on techno, but keeping its electro/prog roots, this straightforward tech-stomper does the business right! There is a thunder to this track that you might miss at first listen, but it surely comes through on the dance floor. » SJ

30 41

Muzikjunki The Seashore (Marco G vs. Amin G Remix) Little Mountain

What a stormer. There is a madness that exists here that is meant for only one place in the world, the dance-floor. This track exudes proper big room wallop, with a keen programming savvy to bring in the right elements at the right time. This is a must have for any serious bass-pusher! » SJ

31 42

Adam Shaw Far Cry EP Toolroom

This is one bad-ass piece of tech-house. Less techno, then counterparts of this genre of late, but driven with an infectious groove and pulsing melodies. This synth-ladden EP is a sure fired winner. » SJ

32 44

Terry Farley & Rocky p. The Cobra Maurice Influential House
With a sample made famous by those French fiends Alan Braxe and Fred Falke with "Intro", Farley & Rocky give it a 2009 twist. Expect this one to be cained by alot of veteran jocks who crave a bit of nostalgia for their floor. » AR
33 43
Dyed Soundorom Beautiful Eva Crosstown Rebels

When I think of cool minimal deep house, this track definitely will come to mind. Rich pads and synth stabs flow in and out over super bumpy percussion that is sure to get the heads nodding in appreciation. » AR

34 45

Bushwacka! Dromererie Olmeto

Something about this man’s composition that just seems so irresistible, never mind ground-breaking. I’m sure many of the heads will be pumping this record, and so should you...nice lush classical guitar that lends just that little bit to a driving sequence, that in its simplicity, purely rocks. » SJ

FLG Amplifier Toolroom

We can already tell you that this tune will be huge. Putting away the catchy lyrics for a catchy dirty-synth chomper, Fedde proves again why he could just be the most versatile chart-successful producer in the game. We dare most of the top jocks to leave this one alone, they won’t...this one will be caned all over the globe. » SJ

36 --

BAM f. Juanita Wynn All I Need Thick

This is some seriously funky shizznit! BAM takes his original track slated as an R&B tune and transforms it into a house monster. Juanita Wynn delivers some spot on vocals and the 80s bassline and old school funk vibe compliments the bumping beats. » AR

37 --

Funky Soldiers Thankful MN2S

Another soulful gem on UK imprint MN2S. Rich vocals, driving percussion and moody key stabs make for a perfect blend of deep house goodness. » AR

38 --

Filter Cuts Sweet Dots Chumbomundo

This is by far our favourite ‘make some digital noise’ track of the week. Like in odyssey into studio manipulation, this screecher goes on a roller coaster ride of ray-gun madness, and I am sure you will go along for the trip! » SJ

39 --

Ralf GUM If No Harm GOGO Music

Another winner from Ralf GUM. Soulful vocals and a sweet instrumental make for vocal house bliss. We're feeling Roed Svensk's remix the most with its more uptempo flavour. Keep on keeping on Ralf. » AR

40 47
Asher Jones & Donny Hates House Static Gallery (Ludvig Faleij remix) Tokio Recordings

The original is not slouch I assure, but the cut that jumps out is the Ludvig Faleij remix. It's dedication to keeping' the groove perky fused with some proper melodic goodness, and what you get is a quirky yet engaging bits of electronic swirl. » SJ

Willie Graff & Tuccillo 123 Yeah Yeah Freerange

It's a chunky funky monkey here from Graff & Tuccillo. The Brothers Vibe Mix takes it to a San Fran bumper with a big bassline, thumping kicks and lovely vocal stabs. Fans of Mark Farina... get on this now! » AR

Justin Steel Red Tape Influential House

This groovy and seductive number gets our nod for the mood track of the week. Looming synths laid over a perky hook, with a swerving bass-line to keep it all in check. Nothing mind blowing, but certainly keeps the vibe frolicking about in your head. » SJ
