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!

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.

Arriving to the club, it was clear this night was going to be a big one – queues stretched past the barriers and the newly revamped main room was jam packed ready for the first big name of the night, DJ Spen. Watching the Baltimore-based DJ play was entertainment in itself, mixing crowd-pleasers and house classics with an intense concentration and infectious energy that held the majority of the crowd through the two-hour set.
As Divine’s set approached, the main room filled up once more and by the time she appeared behind the booth the entire floor was rammed and the room was buzzing. Joined in the booth by a camera crew – trailing her recent events and documenting her rise through the ranks of House – Sam launched seamlessly from Spen’s soulful set into a more bass-heavy feel, expertly reading the crowd and keeping the energy high with Patrick Topping’s tech house banger Rights. The next two hours exemplified Divine’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the genre, with a re-worked edition of Dennis Ferrer’s Mind Ur Step and Dominica’s Gotta Let You Go as highlights that had the whole room singing along to the vocals.
As the set moved towards the climax, we were left wondering whether Franky Rizardo, up next, could hold on to the buzz in the room. Any doubts were unfounded however, as the Holland export delivered a banging set with tracks like Frankey & Sandrino’s Acamar keeping the attention of the crowd, progressing nicely to finish with chilled-out, melodic tunes that had the remaining dancers shouting for more well after the billed finish at 7.40am.
As the lights came on and the crowd filtered out into the chilly London morning, we felt as though we’d only just stepped in. There’s still plenty to look forward to from Egg this year with Ilario Alicante heading up the next Familia party this weekend, plus a nomination for Best Large Club in the DJ Magazine Awards.

Here’s something released a couple of days ago on the cat-loving label Suara, by Bontan. It’s a two-track EP which is heavily bassline driven.
The first track is entitled ‘Reality’ which has a male talking vocal that is expertly chopped up and laid over a deep and warpy bassline and sketchy drums. As all of Bontan’s tracks, it’s very well produced with loads of mini breakdowns and drops, stabs and extra little effects. The second track is called ‘State Of Mind’ as is very much like the first track, as in it has a deep and warpy bassline and male talking vocal, but this vocal tells more of a story.
Both tracks are worthy of a dancefloor and even sitting here now, my head is bouncing listening to them!

Here’s something that’s been out a couple of weeks and hit number 25 in the Beatport house charts instantly. A fresh 2015 re-lick of an absolute piano classic from yester-year; Gat Decor – Passion. There are a lot of remixes of old tracks surfacing in the house charts these days, but only a select few make a mark and gain popularity by radio plays and club plays, this is one of those! I am honestly hearing this everywhere at the moment.
If you’ve been a regular follower of this site, you would definitely have heard of both Reza and Barry Obzee (I have even collaborated on a few tracks with the two of them together!). Hailing from Birmingham, Reza has been a signature part of the house scene for many many years, having stamped his name on some of the biggest tracks on the market, do your homework, you know this guys stuff! And joining him on this track, from Surrey, is Barry Obzee. Barry has a huge history within the house and techno fields and a catalogue of releases to boot. The stuff this pair produce together is simply awesome!
So this version of passion brings so many elements from the original but with a few slight key changes and adjustments. A big breakdown and build up, and a bassline created from a very distinct part of the track that absolutely rocks! I’ve personally seen this one go off. It’s been supported by some of the industries biggest djs!

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 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!

House and Tech producer Jason Chance brings us the newest edition to Zulu Records.Already receiving support from the like’s of D.Ramirez, My Digital Enemy & Thomas Gold…
‘House-Warmer’ a grooving and uplifting Tech house dance floor filler.
Now if your a fan of some nice chunky chords and a cracking groove on the kit and percussion,then this track will be a necessity for your playlist.
Jason keeps the track progressing throughout, teasing with a groovy bassline intro and sharp stabs of chords leading to the breakdown where the main hook comes together. One final liking is the classic sample ‘Cause the house gets warm’ Nice to hear it being bought back for all the older ravers out there!

New out on the mighty Toolroom Records is this series of remixes of NY’s Finest – Do You Feel Me. Collectively an amazing release for Toolroom, destined for the top of the house charts for sure!
Let kick things off with the Dosem remix, now this can simply be summed up in one word; Amazing! But I will say little more, this version marries together an old sounding house piano and vocal with brand new deep, bumpy basslines, builds and one hell of a drop. This one is staying in my set for a while! Up next is Bontan’s remix, this version is slightly deeper and more underground. The bassline is nice and punchy, and sits under some complex drums, blips & stabs, before an atmospheric breakdown, very nice! Last up is Gerd’s No-kick interpretation, which does exactly that; it features the nice classic piano riff and vocal, some amazing musical elements sat over a nice bass pattern and some real housey hats…. but no kick! Sounds surprisingly good, check it out…

Here’s something that’s been kicking up a bit of a storm lately in the clubs. A remix by Noir of the old track ‘So Long’ by Larse, and it’s bumpy bassline stormer! If you were fan of the original mix, or even the Nice7 remix then you’ll love this.
Great use of the repetitive top line vocal, laid over a punchy bass pattern and some nice deep hats. I love the breakdown on this one, everything drops out but the bass and vocal and builds up nicely before all kicking in again. If you hear this in a club and it doesn’t get you jumping around then you must be mad!
Another amazing track from Noir, available now…
