Luigi Rocca and Manuel De La Mare – Gipsy Sun and Rainbows (A-Side)

I’m liking this. I’m liking this a lot. It’s out there and it’s new. Take two top draw Italian producers known for their stomping, but sophisticated, mainroom sounds. Now add some influence from the persistent bass house trend and you end up with this. It’s as deep and as eclectic as I like it, but still has that mainroom after midnight vibe. With its deep house and future garage drums sounds, it’s relentless baseline, and it’s effected vocal; this kind of reminds me of the recent Tube & Berger hit with Juliet Sikora, ‘Set It Off’. I would play this unabashed, main room, at peak time hours. It’s hot, and its on 303 Lovers right now!

Preview: Chris Malinchak – If U Got It (Mark Knight Remix)

Well it doesn’t get any bigger than this. Since 2003 Toolroom Record’s Head Honcho, Mark Knight, has been setting the dance music scene alight. Mark’s productions are inspiring, creative, faultless and with his iconic sound, this track is no exception! Even the biggest icons in dance music deserve constant recognition and gratitude for the music they give us. This Mark Knight remix of Chris Malinchak is already taking Radio 1 by storm, championed by pretty much every dance DJ. It’s going to be a biggy, and definitely will rank up there in Beatport! Let’s see if Mark Knight can hit the top spot when this is released, 26th January 2014. We hope so, as we absolutely LOVE this track!

Hot Since 82 – Hot’s Groove (Little Black Book)

Sensational Leeds based producer, Hot Since 82, has absolutely nailed it with this genre defying track on Jaymo & Andy George’s Label, Moda Black. Released late last month, it’s a sultry blend of deep melodic bass house, future garage beats, and essential house sounds. I have a distinctly eclectic taste in music, and absolutely love what this track brings to a set. Whilst not a mailroom dance floor destroyer, it’s no doubt a set defining moment for any seasoned clubber or jock, with it’s masterful break and build that gives me goosebumps (i’m not joking, my hairs are on end typing this). It’s that ‘this is it’ moment. A cut to change the mood, and define your intention. It’s that track you cannot get out your head the day after, as you cut together a montage of the ‘night before’ in your head, with that knowing smile. Pure musical ecstasy.

Noe Morillas – Corruption / Payback

This is a five part release on Nocturnal Sound Records consisting of an original version of the track ‘Corruption’ with two remixes to suit and the original and a remix of a track titled ‘Payback’.The original version of Corruption has some nice old skool synths, lovely melody and some complex drums. The F.Gazza & Juan de la Higuera remix is a nice deep, bassline driven version which would sound amazing on a big club soundsystem. The Gesus Lpz remix is another deep, bassline driven version but has a slightly eerier sound to it, great sounding hats too! The original version of Payback is a nice bouncy track with a blippy synth and a choppy vocal. Big risers, organ breakdown and a lovely build. Huge tune! Jose Oli has done a remix and it’s a great version, a bit more bouncy and main room in my opinion. Absolutely crackin release! Get it NOW! 😉

PREVIEW: Basspin ft Dyanna Fearon – One To Watch

I got a heads up on this one from Grant Nelson himself. So far all I know of is Grants mix and a remix from Sonny Fodera. Two completely different versions due for release at some time in January on Beatdown Music. Grants remix gives that real old skool sound with choppy stabby vocals and some amazing synths, I want this mix BAD! Sonny Fodera goes for a pitched down vocal with a nice little piano riff over a nice deep bumpy bassline.. quality! Love it! Keep an eye our for the release!

Siwell – Give It Up

Okay so I’ll hold my hands up and admit that I was really late with this release as it came out on the 9th December, and I was debating whether it was too late to write about it at all BUT I have heard it being played out and on radio so I thought it deserves to be written about, I mean, just hear it and you’ll know what I mean! Released on Sphera Records and there’s two mixes to this release, an original and a new skool mix. I’m not gonna reel off the elements of the tracks, lets just say they are now in the gig bag and will be staying there for a while! Check them out for yourselves..

Leftwing & Kody – I Know EP

Big label, big producers! Leftwing & Kody have put together this massive two track EP for Off Recordings. The first track is ‘I Know’ which has a deep acid sounding bassline sitting under a nice drum rhythm and a choppy male vocal, great tune! The second track is called ‘It Was Our’, it’s slightly deeper than the first track with a dark bassline, but the vocal is more uplifting and soulful. Both tracks are very well produced and I can guarantee they are gonna be on every deep djs playlist. Not due for release until 13th January 2014.

Going Ape – Spicy Groove EP

This takes me way back to the old 4/4 Garage days! Blinding EP with some really nice bouncy, deep tracks. They are quite hard to describe so I definitely advise you have a listen, if you’re a fan of the deep old skool garage sound then you love this EP. It’s a three track EP released on Not For Us Records and it’s a cracker!..

Pete Griffiths ft Cevin Fisher – Chicago

Pete Griffiths has signed this stormer to Toolroom Records with remixes from Weiss, Vanilla Ace and Federico Scavo. The original is nice and punchy with a great vocal, really nice breakdown with a great build and drop. The Federico Scavo remix is slightly different to his usual style as he has made this version almost electro, great remix! Weiss has taken the track really deep with some sketchy drums and nice arpeggiated keys, something for the underground! Vanilla Ace’s remix is more of a mainstream ‘deep-house’ version with emphasized bass, a great build and drop. I’m not sure which is my favourite mix, possible the original version or the Vanilla Ace?! It’s a close call! Due out tomorrow (Weds 10th December) according to the Toolroom Soundcloud page.
