Oliver Moldan - Elegant Universe (Baroque)

Tim Davison - Spark (Babylon)
Glenn Morrison - Circles (Cinnamon Flava)

If piano house is your thing then Juanjo Martin & Javi Reina Vs D’Antelo - Back To The Past coming out of Spain on Set Me Free Records is for you. Big chunky beats and a huge piano breakdown with a nod back to the old skool days.

Thomas Gold provides another huge remix of Jim Tonique & Patrick Bryze - Better World Part 2. Out of Germany this track also contains remixes from Dirty Freek, Marco Monaco and Beat Thiefs. Uplifting electro with a seriously funky vibe.

A massive track from late last year is now in on import featuring all the big mixes. Splittr - All Alone is a collaboration between Mark Yardley (Stanton Warriors) and Martijn Ten Velden. The Original Exended mix is included and remixes come from Dim Chris, Michael Gray and Shadowdancer.

Out of Italy come Checkmate EP Vol 2 a mix of electro and progressive cuts from Funkellers and The System (Gianni Bini). The 12 contains some wicked dubs.

On the progressive theres a couple of really hot releases. First up is Mark Cyris - More Things on new German label Observe. Well produced chunky progressive house with a remix from Shiloh that leads the track down a more prog/electro direction.

Charles Gudagafva - Adam is the third release on West Recordings and has already gained support from the likes of Sasha, Digweed, Quivver and Kleinenberg. Top notch production, clean crunchy beats and a dark filmlike fell add up to a superb release from West Recordings.

Shipping from Monday 11/02/2008:
Jimpster - Dangly Panther. Freerange release 99 and Jimpster’s first track for a couple of years, wicked deep house with excellent remixes from Joris Voorn and Audiomontage

Both discs of Yves Larock feat Roland Richards - Zookey (Lift Your Leg Up) are in stock on Defected with remixes across both twelves from Sergio Flores, Johnny Fiasco, Bobby blanco, Hardsoul and Africanism

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.

Some wicked new progressive and tech in this week kicking off with a superb offering from Deadmau5 friend and studio partner - Glenn Morrison - No Sudden Moves / Circles now on Italian release on Cinnamon Flava. Full review can be found here

Out of the Baroque stable comes R-Tem - Dal which builds impressively, layering sounds and riffs all the way up to a mammoth breakdown, lying slightly on the trancier side of progressive this is well worth a listen. B side contais a deeper Sam Ball Remix.

From Barqoue sub label Rococo comes Dirty Dot - Heart Of Pain wth ace female vocal snippets and a wicked electro bassline.

On the tech side Buzzin’ Fly 4 Remixes Part 2 contains three ace deep tech cuts from BarBQ and Kimouts including remix from Solomun. Josh Gabriel - Summit remixes are in featuring remixes from Josh Gabriel himself and Dusty Kid Rouge on Organized Nature.

A few new electro titles in this week. The Tuffhouse Label remixes the classic Dark Monks - Insane on a new single sided release. It certainly is tough and what a breakdown!

Pretty fine Venus Kaly - The Secret (Electro Remixes) out of France on Chic Flowerz has a wicked bass and vocals and a cool tough house mix from Da Chic on the flip.

New label for FRR is Kitsune and now in is the super twisted 2xLP Kitsune Maison Compilation 5 feturing tracks from Fischerspooner, Digitalism and Alan Braxe. Nice gatefold vinyl with cool artwork too. This compilaiton is also available CD too.

On a house tip is the third in the Gilles Peterson - In The House Exclusives series. 4 ace house and deep house tracks from Kings Of Tomorrow, Zed Bias, Season & Sygaire and Tribe. Another quality EP from Defected.

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.

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.
