Doomwork – Sunshine and Mosquitos (Metodi Hristov Remix)

Great track out on Street King Recordings. There are currently a selection of remixes available for this track but I wanted to showcase this one as it is my favourite! Get this one in your bag!

Shadow Child ft Takura – Friday (MK Medicine Dub)

There’s actually a few versions of this track floating about, with mixes from The Prototypes and Maison Sky on the general release. We are going to focus on this little gem, MK has created a really old skool sounding remix, takes me way back to the 90’s. I could only find this one available on iTunes and not Beatport. Check. it. out.

Filthy Rich – Movin On EP

Quite a chilled EP from Filthy Rich. Loads of 909 drums, warped basslines and rhodes sounds which give them an old Garage feel. This is a 3 track EP out on Materialism, all the deep heads and old 4×4 garage heads need a bit of this!

Well this is simply a fantastic tech house track! This release consists of the original as well as a remix from Carlos Russo and another from Denis Drazic. All three version are brilliant and definitely something I’d play out at peak time. Huge forthcoming release for M JOY Records.

Sucio Ingles – Bad Boys EP

Okay, so I might be being completely biased with this release. This is a tech house EP released on DOJO Music and produced by myself (Lawrence Friend) and Thomas Frake under our alias ‘Sucio Ingles’. We have had some pretty good feedback so far and it’s worth checking out! Good times..

DOJO Music’s write up:
Sucio Ingles release there first EP on DOJO Music. Bad Boy is the lead track and you can understand why on first listen, with its infectious bassline and vocal loops this is going to be a force to reckon with in the coming weeks and months. C’mon is the perfect accomplishment to this EP and another great example of why Sucio Ingles will be a force in 2014.

Sucio Ingles’ biog:
Sucio Inglés have been making their mark on the underground DJ scene, in the UK and internationally, since 2008. Sucio Inglés, previously known as Dirty English, have been the goto line-up stalwarts for various clubs & brands including, Gifted at Ministry of Sound, Dreamland at Pacha, Husky at Coalition, and Skyy Vodka at Electric to name but a few. This strong duo ship have played in clubs, over the air, and around the world including, London, Dubai, Romania, Shanghai and Select UK.

Thomas Frake and Lawrence Friend have been respected and followed throughout the house scene for their sensational live sets, control of the dancefloor, and their intelligent set programming that sees them defy genres, tear-up playlists, and spark euphoria with their crate-digger musical selection. Their love and passion for dance music and club atmospheres goes a long way too.

Sucio Inglés has been re-imagined for 2013 in an exciting new project that will see these house music enthusiasts take the essence of their dance floor into the studio. With tracks including Bad Boy, Get Down, C’Mon and Step Up already in the boxes of some of the major labels, and getting attention from global DJ and producers, you are about to hear a lot more of Sucio Inglés.

Eddie Amador & Dany Cohiba – Taboo (Stanny Abram Abracadabra Remix)
