Sphera Recordings have done it again with this smasher by Jorge Montia. Using the vocal from Chic’s ‘Good Times’ laid over a nice bouncy tech house drum pattern and an infectious bassline. This is one for the main room, straight in the gig bag!

Amin Golestan & Marco G – Sanctuary (Muzzaik Remix)
The battle for loudness and stereo space rages on, with this re-release on Reflective’s Re:Vibe Tech House Compilation! The favourite to win isn’t some stadium filling ‘EDM’ monster, but a brutal percussive tech-house drummer on the front line! This remix by Muzzaik reinforces their punchy stubby production style with a real speaker-tester! In 2010, this track was doing what EDM is doing now, so has been thrust back into the spotlight. Plenty of delayed percussive stabs, reverb grand piano and white noise make this one contemporary club-destroyer. Death by drums.

My Digital Enemy – Shamen
Take a big chord-led, afro-tech, main-room stomper, put it into bed with a T909, and sultry ‘bass house’ baseline. The result – you end up with a hit-track lovechild a little bit like this. My Digital Enemy continue to destroy the constant need for sub-genre labelling by producing this dance music sensation! This makes you dance. Simples.

Preview: Umek & Groovebox – Sweet Harmony
A very big main room house version of the classic track by Liquid, big build up and a great drop! UMEK & Groovebox have transferred this monster tune into a main room smasher! I’ve got to say, the sample on Soundcloud is only 42 seconds long which isn’t long enough really but you’ll get the picture! This is released on 31st January.. Enjoy!

Lovely EP forthcoming on the mighty Defected Records, can’t wait for this! Andre Lodemann has put together this two track release which consists of real feel good, deep house music.

Mario Ochoa & DJ PP – Gotcha / Move!
New out on Great Stuff Records, a great EP by DJ PP (Gabriel Rocha) and Mario Ochoa. The first track is a banging tech house track called ‘Gotcha’, it has a nice infectious bassline with some great breakdowns and build ups. Lovely! The second track is ‘Move!’ and this is a nice techno track with a few blippy synths and a brilliant hi-hat pattern. Lots of builds, filters and big bass. One for the gig bag! Happy Days!

Sixteenofive – Platform Vol. 16
Well, if there is a tech house blog on the internet that hasn’t featured this 8 track release on 1605 then they are clearly mad! What a release!! I’m not going to go into details about every track separately as it’d take too long! I will however, point out my favourite tracks on the release. For me, the best track of these is ‘Anti Slam & W.E.A.P.O.N. – Move It’ followed closely by ‘Egoism, Bazu – Kak Dela’. All 8 tracks are amazing and would get played out by me! Have a listen, it’s big!

Jay Lumen – I House U EP
A nice new 3 part release on 100% Pure by Jay Lumen. Jay has been pushing out some top quality tech house in recent years and has fairly recently changed his style a bit to incorporate some really heavy old skool speed garage bassline sounds into his production. The first track on this release is ‘I House U’ and it’s exactly what I just described! Big warpy bassline complimented with some nice bouncy tech house drums, this will go off in a club guaranteed! The second track was co-produced with Max Demand and is called ‘Say What’; a big tech house tune with a really nice breakdown and drop, love this! The final track is called ‘Where is the beat’ and it’s an awesome tech house track, nice bouncy drums with some big choppy vocals. I would definitely play all three out in the clubs! Another big release…

Big infectious bassline on this one and another amazing tune by My Digital Enemy & Jason Chance. As a team, this is their third release on Zulu Records and I just know it’s gonna get hammered in the clubs. It seems like I’m reviewing a new Zulu track every week at the mo, but honestly they are just pushing out some quality tunes… I’m in no way kissing arse! 😉 Great breakdown, build and BASSLINE… Did I mention the bassline?! Awesome, check this bad boy out! Due for release on 3rd Feb..

Funkerman Vs Geisler & Warren – Speed Up 2014 (FREE DOWNLOAD)
I recently got pointed in the direction of this rework of Funkerman’s hit ‘Speed Up’, I wasn’t disappointed! For anyone who remembers the original, it was an amazing track that I myself used to hammer out in the clubs a few years back. Geisler & Warren have taken the vocal and completely rewritten the track, fresh for 2014. Some big synths, breakdowns, risers and a bassline that will rock a dancefloor, this is one to listen out for! The best part of this is: THEY ARE GIVING IT AWAY! If you click on the soundcloud link, there is an option for a free download. I look forward to hearing Geisler & Warren’s future projects, if this is anything to go by then we are in store for some big things! Download this now and chuck it in the gig bag!

Anti-Slam / W.E.A.P.O.N. & Cole Jonson – Don’t Touch That Stereo
This is a two part release by brothers ‘Anti-Slam’ & ‘W.E.A.P.O.N’ and the head honcho from label ‘Influential House’, Cole Jonson. The release consists of an original mix and a remix by YellowHeads. The original has a nice bouncy feeling with a big rise into a techy bassline drop and a nice filtered vocal loop too. The YellowHeads remix is slightly more chilled out than the original and is more of a deep tech remix. It has a nice bounce to it and I could imagine it absolutely going off on a club system. Great release for Phunk traxx!
