I’m currently in the process of adding around 500 used progressive and trance vinyl to First Rhythm Records, loads of big tunes and loads of little known gems from 2000-2005.

Over the last week around 100 progressive and 150 house items have been added so our stock is getting a good helping of fresh vinyl across a few style. And still to come are loads of dance classics and oldskool / rave. Keep checking back for updates.

The much anticipated Sasha - Who Killed Spark? is finally in stock on emFire and is one for the progressive and tech lovers. Watch out for Coma Remixes coming soon.

Another big big tune doing the rounds recently is Pryda - Europa released on Pryda Records. Another superb productin from Eric Prydz.

Out on the new Reveal label Dave Robertson releases the track Cutting Down. With support from Zabeila, Seaman, Mark Knight and Nick Warren the two tracker has a cool mellow progressive/tech vibe.

Been trying to get this one in for ages but its finally here Daniel John - Rent. Massive funky club remake of the Gwen Guthrie classic with ace piano and vocal. Limited single sided white labels now in stock.

On the techier and deeper side theres the superb Dazzle Drums - Elem out on Centric Records. A cool deep house gem with a wicked Kiko Navarro Remix. The Stardancer EP from Da Sunlounge out on Bambino is also worth a check for deeper house fans.

Available to order and shipping from Monday is Plan Tec Vs Paul Woolford - Fetish. Gaining support from Nic Fanciulli, Tong and Digweed and contains a wicked Paul Woolford Remix. Also shipping from Monday is Solomun / Trickski / Phonique - Member Of The Trick 10: More Meerkats on Sonar Kollectiv. Superb deep tech including the awesome Solomun/Trickski - Black Rose (Trickski Remix)

Dirty South - Minority is receiving huge support all over the show, they are about to hit the big time with forthcoming release ‘The End’ (coming soon to FRR) but this keeps all house, prog and tech heads happy.

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.

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.

We’ll be getting our first delivery of new release funky, electro, and progressive this week. Including hot new tunes like:

Steve Mac & Mark Brown - Bells Of Brighton
a new take on the Utah Saints classic - Something Good
Dave Armstrong & Redroche - Love Has Gone
