Mario Ochoa – Like This

Big & techy! Something out on Sphera Records by Mario Ochoa. I’ve reviewed a few of Mario’s tracks in the past and they are all quality. This is his latest release and there are a few samples in their that you should recognise such as the ‘Whoa….Yeah’ from the old classic ‘It Takes Two’. The bassline is also familiar, and will be to most old skool UK Garage heads as it’s the same riff on Double 99’s ‘RipGroove’. Mario has done a great job with this one, love it!

Plastik Funk – Get Down On It (Dave Rose Vs Gallo & Alaia Remix)

Using the vocal from the classic funk/disco track ‘Get Down On It’ by ‘Kool & The Gang’ and freshened up for 2014 in this huge tech house remix. Nice choppy vocals placed over a lovely techy bass riff, loads of risers, breakdowns and other elements kicking in and out throughout. I really like it, I advise you have a listen and see for yourself. Out now on Tiger Records.

Reza & Peter Brown – Phreak It

Another big name that’s on fire right now is Reza, this time he teams up with Peter Brown for this main room house smasher! Some great stabby chords sitting over a nice deep bass pattern, nice vocal hook too! This track has a big old skool vibe to it with some familiar samples kicking in occasionally. The dancefloor needs this tune!

Heartik – Tender Surrender EP

New EP on 1605 by Heartik. Compiled of 3 tracks in total, 2 originals and 1 remix. The first tracks is ‘Mermaids Call’, this is a nice bouncy track with a high plucky riff and some atmospheric builds. I like the breakdown especially and the use of bells in the build and drop. Next up is ‘Tender Surrender’, this one has loads going on in it and they all work perfectly together. On the breakdown it starts with a dirty stabby synth then changes to a high pitch riff before building up to a great drop. I love this tune, it weirdly reminds me of the old track ‘Nightrain’. The last track is a ‘the dolphins remix’ of Tender Surrender, it’s a bit more chilled than the original and has a very distinct, and well eq’ed hi-hat which really stands out to me. This version has a nice long riser before a big techy drop, great tune! 🙂

Golf Clap – Dream Trippin’

Fresh on Freeze Dried, a label that really needs no introduction! So many amazing artists on this label and this is no exception, Golf Clap are back after their huge track last year called ‘Another Way’ with this huge new release ‘Dream Trippin’, along with a cheeky remix from Low Steppa. The original has an awesome chord pattern which takes me back to the old garage days. Use of a great vocal and a stabby bass pattern, brilliant. On the Low Steppa remix, he makes use of some really nice offbeat snares which give it a real garagy feel, breaks down to the chord pattern before this HUGE bassline drop! This is guaranteed to get the crowds hands in the air. Low Steppa is absolutely havin’ it at the moment, I was only reviewing another one of his tracks yesterday and then I come across this… Such a great release! Nuff Said!

Manuel Rotondo – Can’t Stop (Pagano Remix)

There are in-fact two remixes and an original to this track but we wanted to focus solely on the Pagano remix. This is definitely right up my street, big deep and funky bassline under some stabby synths followed by a massive breakdown, old skool build, huge riser and an almighty drop! This is brilliant and definitely one for the main room, check it oooout!

Muzzaik – Gravy EP

Fresh out on Great Stuff Recordings and what an EP this is! There’s two tracks to this release, the first being ‘Gravy’ which is a huge upbeat main room house track. Think big risers, banging drops and a really nice flowing synth pattern and you’re almost there!This tune is so hard to describe and I can’t do it justice in words, you’ll have to listen! The second track is ‘Roar’ and has some nice offbeat bass stabs before a huge riser and then drops into a big shuffly main room tune! I would play both of these out in the clubs. Muzzaik has done it again, this release is amazing!

Jose Nunez – House Music (Original & Steve Mac Mixes)

One word to describe this release… WOW! Something fresh on Black Rock Records by Jose Nunez and remixed by Steve Mac. The original is nice and upbeat with a big bouncy synth pattern and some offbeat percussion, love it! Steve Mac’s remix is a tad more chilled than the original, taking the same stabby synth but adding some filtering and a nice funky bassline underneath. This really is awesome and definitely something to get excited about! Don’t take my word for it though, have a listen and buy it..
