It’s not very often that we get to showcase a remix of a classic and for it do do the original justice, but here is a nice edit of the classic Body Language expertly remixed by Angelo Scalici.
The best thing about this is that it’s absolutely free to download, fill yer boots!!
So, Franky’s recent release out on Defected ‘Keep My Cool’ Im not only jammin out over the summer, I’m also having sneaky listens at home, work… It is one of those tracks you don’t get bored of. I think also from a producer perspective the progression & teasing of the bass throughout is artwork. I think the cut off is automated very nicely throughout and accompanies the vocals.
Now it’s a pleasure to have come across his new remix for Roger Sanchez titled ‘Morning Prayer’Once again, he creates a simple, clean and effective groove with the nicely crafted vocal.
Sometimes we only process the main vocal as a raver on the dance floor, buzzing for the drop.. we forget to tune in to the intricate effected vocals that keep the tune’s momentum in flow, fun and interesting.
Frankly Franky, all I can say is.. Keep them tune coming mate!
Another great release from a label which is only going from strength to strength. Locker Room Records are back with this highly anticipated three part EP from Simeon Belle, featuring vocals from SJ and two different style remixes from Dmarco and DEV:ROX.
Original Mix – The original mix is another high quality production from London based DJ and producer Simeon Belle. Catchy lyrics from SJ work perfectly with the dark bassline and percussion sounds used throughout the track. Simeon’s signature UK garage inspired chords are used to mimic the bassline and create another catchy element to the track. An almost techno sounding synth then develops later into the track to add another effective layer. The amount of creativity put into the track is evident from the quality of the result, making it an essential weapon for use in a deeper or underground style DJ set.
Dmarco Remix – The remix from Arcko Digital’s Dmarco features an energetic drum kit, groovy bassline, classic house horns and piano chords to provide a perfect combination for a more upbeat style house track. This remix is definitely one of my favourite productions from Dmarco and can see this being played in a lot of DJ sets over the coming months.
DEV:ROX Remix – Locker Room boss DEV:ROX also features on the EP with his own remix. Literally within hours of it’s completion, was instantly receiving support across the globe from the likes of Sam Divine and Sonny Fodera. The most prolific element on this remix is clearly the bassline, which repeats throughout the track with several bass layers and stabs being introduced as the track progresses. These work well with the vocals to create a nice deep-tech roller, which has already been keeping many dance floors moving.
This EP has been the biggest release from the label so far, with each one of the versions sure to do well over the summer and the remainder of the year.

Kittball latest release for 2016 brings us the Italian duo Moonwalk aka Mauro Morabello Morabito and Dario Vizioli from Naples.
Their music has been released on: Diynamic “Free from your love”, Mexa rec. with the charting Girl for you, playlisted by many DJs including Solomun and Tiesto, Lo:Rise, a sister label of Defected Records.
The Eclipse EP consists of three intense tracks packed with very progressive melodic synths and emotive sample work, connecting the soul of modern House and Deep House with the vintage appeal of European Electronica as an overall package.
Personally out the three I am feeling Eclipse, I think this will sound epic on a good system in a main room!
Kitball’s releases throughout 2015 were all top releases, so we cant wait to see whats in store for of 2016!

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!

This is something that has been out a couple of weeks but is taking the industry by storm, it’s been sitting at number one on Traxsource pretty much since it’s release, and is still there now (15th Aug 2015). Well worth a mention!
So, remixing an old classic can be a risky job with the amount of material that gets slated online these days, but this one defies all the negativity and is actually pretty amazing! We all know the original UK Garage classic ‘Flowers’ which hit the charts in a big way back in the day, but listening to the original now just sounds dated. Defected’s ‘Sam Divine’ has joined forces with Curtis Gabriel to bring this classic back up to date, and wow, what a job they have done!
It’s a full vocal remix so you can still sing along with it like the old days, but this time it drops into a deep, bouncy house banger! Bumpy bass, choppy vocals and sketchy drums combine to create something special here.
Out now….. Get. It.

Here’s something fresh from KORT & Elementary, and featuring the amazing vocals from Jessie Matthews, out now exclusively on Traxsource.
For anyone who knows a thing or two about ‘proper’ house music, you will have heard of KORT at some point. KORT had huge releases on massive labels such as Defected and Copyright which cemented his footing within the industry. For this release he teams up with ‘Elementary’ who although seems fairly unheard of, is an absolute master in the studio (trust me on this!), so expect some amazing future productions under this name.
So, let talk about the track! Well…. it’s a genius fusion of piano chords, organs, bumpy bass patterns and an absolutely outstanding vocal. The full verses come on the breakdowns, and over the drums are some great ad-libs and choppy vocal stabs.
This one gets a double thumbs up from me, and definitely one I’ll be hammering out in the clubs. Grab your copy now..

It doesn’t happen too often, but occasionally we find a little gem that’s a little different and definitely needs shouting about. In this case it comes from D33P and his remix of Hans Zimmer’s Interstella, and whoa what a mix it is too!
I’m not gonna say too much about this as I want to let the music do the talking, but if you’re a producer/musician/engineer, or you just appreciate good, well produced music in all formats, then you will absolutely love this. And the best thing about this is that D33P is giving it away ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! Just click on the Soundcloud link to download.
Once you have your copy, turn up your speakers, turn off the lights, whack it on and appreciate!
We were sent this little gem recently, something fresh from ‘Le Visiteur’ on Deep Motion. So if you are a fan of your old skool sounds then this is definitely for you. The producer makes great use of some big piano chords that filter nicely before a lovely sub-bass kicks in under them to fill the track out. The break-down is awesome, a nice punchy bass riff with some claps and a chopped vocal over the top.
A great, feel good house track and a sure hit on the dancefloors. Keep your eye on Public House UK in the future for more stuff from Le Visiteur. Grab your copy on Traxsource now…
This is a track that was sent to us recently from D2 Records. Quite a big release as there is an original and four remixes, and all have their own unique spin and style but incorporate an amazing, infectious female vocal! I mean seriously, this vocal is awesome!
The original mix has some deep blip sounds alongside nice pads and eerie bass stabs, all perfectly married together with some deep drum patterns. It has a very chilled yet old progressive vibe to it but sounds so good!
The first remix up is by Natema and is a very bassline driven deep house remix. I can instantly imagine this going off in a club! I love the breakdown, slow build and huge drop into the bass pattern, all before the drums come back in; WOW, what a remix!! The second remix is by Anton Ishutin, now this one is quite a laid back version with a stabby 80’s feel bass pattern, nice pads and great use of the vocal, goosebumps! The third remix is by Juloboy, he has taken the original bass riff and blips and toughened them up slightly. Keeping the nice airy pads along with the vocal, and some great use of the sidechain! Finally, the last remix is by Fabricio Pecanha. He has taken the track even deeper with a lovely deep and bumpy acid bass sound. I absolutely love the breakdown where it consists of just the bass, arpeggiated blips and a chopped vocal, all before a nice build into a simple drum pattern. Works so well!
If I was to pick a favourite I’d have to say it’s the Natema remix. Absolutely huge release for D2 Records and getting huge support already, I hope this blows up! Pick up your copy now…

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!
