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

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

Jhonny & Peps p. SQUID |
All In All Out |

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

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

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

Adam Shaw |

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
