Hazzaro – Body Rock

Tactical have done it again! It seems like everything Tactical Records brings out these days is an absolute stormer! Massive tune from Hazzaro, can just imagine the crowd going mad to this. Will be testing this one out this weekend!

Format B & Pleasurekraft – Sexus (DJ Anna Remix)

For those who remember the original version of this from a few months ago, complimenting FormatB & Pleasurekraft’s similar release ‘Coltrane’, DJ Anna has put together this awesome remix. I’ve been playing this all morning and can’t get it out of my head! Love it.

Phunk Investigation & Groovebox – L.A.

Big & bouncy track with some lovely techy horn stabs. A big one for the clubs I think. This is something fairly new on Tiger Records, if it slipped through your net then grab it now.

Jason Chance & Kevin Andrews – Work The Track

Excellent tune! Having played alongside both of these guys in the past, I have since followed their work and I’m never disappointed. Jason Chance has been producing some of the biggest house tracks recently and his stuff is always being played in my sets. Kevin Andrews doesn’t really need any introduction but for those who don’t know who he is, he is 50% of the house duo ‘The Hoxton Whores’. They have been around for absolutely years and you simply can’t get much bigger than them! Massive release for 1605. It’s in my gigbag already, get it in yours!

Heron – Ride The Pride

I had this one recommended by a friend, not usually my cuppa-tea but it’s simply awesome! It has a really old skool sound to it and I can’t stop nodding my head to it. Not sure where i’d fit this into a set but it’s one for the car and the iPod!

Roger Sanchez – My Roots (The Remixes)

I can’t find any other word to describe this but ‘tough’. Released on Stealth Records, this is a huge release with some amazing remixes, my only issue is which version should I play?! Seriously, get your hands on this!

Do Santos & Simone Vitullo – My Bassline Friend

Back with a bang with this one, really nice bouncy track from Do Santos and Simone Vitullo. This one isn’t the type of track to make you go mad on a dancefloor, more of a head bouncer and toe tapper. Absolutely love it, added to the gig bag for sure..

Mark Knight & Funkagenda – Man With The Red Face (ATFC’s When The Lights Go Up Remix)

Kicking things back off with the track reviews and what a track to start with. Part of the ‘Toolroom Ten’ releases to celebrate ten whole years of Toolroom Records. This one is a massive remix of a Toolroom classic by one of my favourite producers ATFC. This one is already available and being smashed in clubland everywhere, absolute genius..

Roger Sanchez ft GTO – Troubleman (Original & DJ Sneak Mix)

As with all of Rogers releases, this one is of high quality and a solid, tough track for the dancefloors. Accompanied by a nice bumpy remix from DJ Sneak, you can’t go wrong! These two are the big shots in house music for a reason and this release proves that! Enjoy..
