K-Klass ft Bobbi Depasois – Let Me Show You (Dolly Rockers Dub Mix)

The Dolly Rockers are on it with this remix. Bringing back the legendary K-Klass ft Bobbi Depasois – Let Me Show You. The Original moved dance floors back in 93, and if your looking for the right remix for today… you need the Dolly Rockers Dub Mix!

The Drums have a grooving kit with bouncy tops & a nicely chopped vocal of Bobbi Depasois singing ‘Live Right Now’. There is a tasty low end EFM sounding bass and nice growl on the tail end.

The break drops into clean 90’s piano chords layered with the original vocal to give you that old school vibe; building the drop back up into the nicely chopped vocals and the teasing bass, ready for full energy with the grooving kit as the tune drops!

This track has been out less than a week and is already sitting at no.28 in the Traxsource House Chart! These two are not only good at producing a weapon for the dance floor, but also very nice chaps! So get your copy now and support these boys!

I will certainly be rocking throughout winter & also featuring in the next Arcko Digital Podcast!

Harry Romero – BTW

Here’s is the latest Track from Harry Romero signed to Beta Rebels & out on Friday 11th of December.

‘BTW’ is growling in the low end from the get go. Harry’s has a low end frequency that keeps the track moving throughout, then further into the track he introduces a very cool and funky disco loop that sits nice riding on the bass!

There’s a low-cut breakdown and progression with the disco loop, and when the tune drops you know you’re going to be looking at the person next to you with a big grin on your face! Nice clear fills, drum rolls and a pumping kit to keep the stomp throughout.

If you want this track first then you will have to jump on the exclusive over at Traxsource on the 11th of December, I will be including this track the next Arcko Digital Podcast.

Rudimental ft Will Heard – I Will For Love (Sonny Fodera Remix)

Sonny Fodera’s back in the house! A nicely executed remix of Rudimental’s latest ‘I Will For Love’ ft Will Heard. Sonny’s created a deep 90’s house vibe and locked in the vocals tight with some nice cuts and effects.

The breakdown has all the elements of uplifting subtle strings and beautiful piano chords, with Will Heard rolling in on the drop, nicely chopped and layered on the bassline groove, and then with the reintroduction of the stunning piano chords.

This is a uplifting tune that ticks all the boxes, and I’m sure that if you’re at his upcoming event down at the Egg in London, you’ll probably be raving to it!

Wayne Dudley – Sing / Falling For You

Wayne Dudley brings us his latest release signed to Whore House. With two solid releases; ‘Sing’ & ‘Falling For You’.

If your looking for some modern heavy bassline rollers then ‘Sing’ has what your after with a nice garage esq vibe from the harmonic female vocals and classic pads in the breakdown into a grooving bassline drop.

Now, my personal favourite out of the two is ‘Falling For You’. Being a fan of the piano chords on the dance floor and in the productions, Wayne’s produced a top feel good track.
With a nice intro, teasing vocals and piano, then into break where we feel the full impact of the classic rave chords, vocals and some big breaks, leading us into a bassline drop.

This is a nice production that will please many in the mood to dance!

Dee Montero – Full Body

From Dee’s heady days as resident at Belfast’s legendary Network club, to residencies at the rather more exotic Amnesia, Pacha, Space and Café Mambo in Ibiza, Dee Montero has been whipping dancefloors into a frenzy across the globe for more than 15 years.

‘Full body’ is Dee Montero’s latest Tech House groover. Signed & Released this week to Nic Fanciulli’s ‘Saved Records’, this is a track you will need in your playlist this summer.

With a warm and dark breakdown layered with the vocal ‘Everyday I’m gonna Die’ it drops into a superb grooving bass with the vocal chopped and delayed industrial synth rolling on top.
The track has two very nice drops that don’t leave you anticipating too long, before your ready to hit back into the groove!

With G-Man on the remix, it is a very pleasant and up beat Techno track. With some very nice effects on the vocals & great delays, it gives the track a constant flow and progression.
Can’t go wrong with either of these tracks really, it all depends on the time of the set and the mood of the crowd, but will definitely be a body mover!

Simeon Belle & Silvo Leeroy – Want More Culture EP

The Boys are back and have teamed up again to bring you their latest EP ‘Want more Culture’.

Two very nice Deep House rollers.. Track One titled ‘Want More’ has a seriously good female vocal sample that is chopped and grooving throughout the track. This sits nicely on the hook providing a dark but pleasant dancefloor mover..

Track Two titled ‘Culture’ has a slightly more upbeat groove in A minor with another cool vocal that I imagine clubbers will absorb subconsciously on the night!

Simeon and Silvo are producing some top tracks this year, so I suggest you keep an eye on them!

In this latest Collaboration we hear the beautiful vocals from Lauren Faith, certainly a voice I would like to hear more of in the future for the house scene.

Interview: Night Safari (D Ramirez & Bnann Infadel)

Over the past 12 months, production duo Night Safari have perfected their innovative future house sound and produced several dancefloor weapons. Their latest release ‘Won’t Let Me Down’ featuring the vocals of Beth Aggett is a true to form summer anthem, while a remix from tech-house master D. Ramirez rounds things off nicely. Following the release and ahead of summer we caught up with the duo to find out the latest…

Hey guys! What has the past few months seen you doing?

We’ve been really busy! We’ve just finished a remix for Axtone for Hard Rock Sofa, as well as finishing our last release for Tactical Records in Germany.

You’ve just dropped ‘Won’t Let Me Down’ on Zulu Records which is your second release on the label. How do you find working with the guys over there?

Yeah, we love them, they’re really on it, and more importantly they seem to like the noise we’re making too.

What has the reaction been both on and off the dancefloor?

The D. Ramirez remix has been getting a fantastic reaction on the dancefloor and the original mix has been getting a fantastic reaction on the blogs so we’re very happy with it so far!

Is there a story behind the release?

There is yeah… we were all drunk one night in a pub and we knew Beth Aggett but we’d never heard her sing. Then she got up on the piano that was in the pub and started to sing and we were like wow you need to come and sing with us as the sound of her voice was truly incredible. Then a couple of weeks later she came down to the studio and the song was born.

Outside Night Safari you’re both busy do your own thing in the industry, how do you juggle the various projects you’ve got going on?

We have no idea but time is the most valuable commodity.

You must always have ideas for new tracks spinning around in your heads, how do you get yourselves organised?

Organisation is the enemy of creativity so we are never organised, we just get in a room and see what happens.

Do you always agree on how things are put together in the studio?

As we both come from different worlds it can be a sound clash in the mind, that’s what gives us our edge we think.

What was the first single you ever brought?

Dean: Queen – Another One Bites The Dust

Bnann: Adam And The Ants – Prince Charming

What’s this summer looking like for you guys?

The summer is going to be crazy because we’re going to be doing our first DJ gigs and maybe even trying to get a live thing up and running so it’s going to be really interesting.

And finally, what else should we be keeping an eye out for from Night Safari?

We’ve just signed a single to Armada so there’s a release coming in June which we’re very excited about, so keep an eye out for that. It features James Newman on vocals who is the brother of John Newman so it’s very exciting for us.
