Christian Hoff - Block Rockin Beats
Rather than just sampling the original and laying a beat over as lot of recent bootlegs do this single sided electro remake from Christian Hoff is exacly that - a remake. Kicking off with a fat and chunky beat with electro sounds, it teases with the guitar riff and limited vocals from the original version as it builds.
It drops into the original Chemcical breakbeat and guitar that sounds wicked against the chunky electro beats, using original samples well its sure to please lovers of the original and lovers of electro.
Continuing a flurry of massive tunes in quick succession, particulaly Marco Demark - Tiny Dancer which is still ripping up dancefloors thanks to a huge variety of remixes including the huge Deadmau5 remixes, 3 Beat Blue unleash Cahill - Trippin On You. The Original mix is a full on peak time vocal monster with superb vocals from Nikki Belle that probably makes this track THE first big vocal tune of 2008. Already climbing the club charts its probably gonna follow on from the success that Marco Demark - Tiny Dancer is currently receiving. With uplifting chords and a strong catchy vocal its a sure fire winner. Watch out Miami!
A name gaining momentum now is Thomas Gold and he teams up with Wawa on the flip side remix that adds a touch of electro. Keeping the vocal and the big big chords for the breakdown in tact but adding touch of trademark dirty bass.
Both mixes will no doubt be hammering the clubs for many weeks, months and probably years to come!
Not a label content with one set of remixes, 3 Beat Blue supply a second disc of bassline rich Wideboys mixes which will be in stock very soon.
Glenn Morrison - No Sudden Moves / Circles
Glenn Morrison’s tracks have been supported by the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Digweed and Tiesto. The track No Sudden Moves hit the number one spot of the World Dance Charts a few weeks ago and for good reason. Now on Italian label Cinnamon Flava we get another chance to hear these two tracks that have that ‘Deadmau5‘ sound (they share the same studio!). Previous tracks from Glenn have also been on Mau5trap Records and Mr Deadmau5 himself Joel Zimmerman lends his engineering skills to this release.
No Sudden Moves builds nicely and is a nice understated tech/prog cut. Circles has the edge though in my opinion, introducing riffs that tease along the way to the break where a simple floating melody is introduced which explodes into a rich stereo swirling riff that you never want to end and just as you begin to get lost the beat slams back in. Total class.
3 Beat Blue turn in another monster from Italian DJ Marco Demark sampling one of Elton John’s big hits re-sung by Casey Barnes following on from recent strong releases by Robbie Rivera and Cahill. The Camel Rider mix on disc one plays on the quality vocal taken and sees them back in action again after a couple of great releases on Subliminal in 2003-4. Moto Blanco also on disc one takes down a slightly smoother route but still very housey style.
As expected from the artist of the moment Deadmau5 turns in both a quality vocal and dub for disc two. The dub has a nice progressive feel that plays on the main riff to great effect, 10 out of 10, its one of those tunes that is going to be around for ages. Plays by Pete Tong, Eric Morillo, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren.

Hot new promo’s just in of Ercola Vs Heikki L - Deep At Night
A quality new test press hot on the heels of recent quality releases on Data by the likes of John Dalback, Angello & Ingrosso and Hoxton Whores.
The original is a peak time electro house workout ala Axwell and Ingrosso with a smooth vocal that is used in a nice understated style.
Flip it over and Adam K & Soha follow up the original with a quality house remix that has a great progressive vibe hot on the heels of their quality release ‘twilight’, it has the feel of fellow Toronto artist Deadmau5. Adam K & Soha have been busy on remix duty lately for the likes of Tiesto, Deadmau5 and Hatiras. DJ plays on Radio 1 and Galaxy.
Lank ‘Confrontation’ is our new tune of the week, coming in on Quivver’s Boz Boz label, its a big sounding progressive anthem. Available to purchase on 12″ vinyl here
Péter Golyán is a young producer from Hungary and here provides us with two excellent cuts under the Lank moniker. Confrontation sounds like its a remix of digweed and muirs bedrock remix of chakra ‘i am’ from 1996. The track has an old sound but being on Boz Boz a label ran by one of the big names of the 1995/1996 progressive sound - Quivver, its not surprising.
The intro is atmospheric and organic sounding with a nice string laden intro. The driving bass then comes in and eventually gives way to a rich melodic almost sitar like riff surorunded by lush pads and fx sounding before the driving bass drops back and the journey continues with dark sound fx.
Wicked Soul is a slower stripped down techier affair, the break has the dark and atmospheric sound that Confrontation has but in a cleaner and less ‘big’ sounding than the flip
Both tracks are definate winners, Confrontation for peak time progressive fans and Wicked soul for lovers of the more tech prog sound
