Rhythm Distrikt 6

  • Adrian Hour – Who – Really nice eerie vocal and blippy synths, awesome bouncy track
  • John Sausage – Sophisticated Equipment – A slight acid feel with this one, big room banger.. reach for the lasers!
  • Oscar L & DJ Dan – Feel The Panic – Deep & bouncy, I could imagine this played in a main room in the early hours, love it!
  • MiniCoolBoyz & NHB – Silver Haze – Love this one, quite upbeat with a nice repetitive vocal over a nice drum pattern
  • Christian Gambas – Increase The Grease – Big techy track.. think laser sounds, big risers, delayed bass patterns and amazing breakdown. I want to play this out!
  • Irregular Synth – People Help The People – Nice synth pattern in this with some reverbed vocals and nice drum fills. Nice tune!
  • Mihalis Safras & Mark Broom – Messing (Dosem Remix) – Quite a laidback tune with some big synths. Lovely!
  • Ant Brooks – Off – Quite deep sounding with a nice breakdown and build. I particularly like the drums in this
  • Rafa Barrios – Paramount Hotel – I can imagine this one in a main room somewhere and going off. Big risers, sirens and a strange repetitive vocal. Big love!
  • Heartik – It’s Too Right – I’m a huge fan of Heartik’s work and this doesn’t disappoint. Lovely complex drums, big build and huge drop. I want this now!
  • Gaga & Hellomonkey – Red Code – Big bass pattern with a nice breakdown and build, drops into a huge banger!
  • Quivver – All That Will Be – Love the blippy sounds and synth stabs in this, it drops big.. A favourite!
  • Egoism – Something I Think – Very bouncy! I particularly love the breakdown and the drop.
  • Antix – Nu – Great synth pattern, has an old skool tech feel to it. I like the different elements kicking in during the breakdown
  • Dataworx – PPL – Lovely bass pattern which carries the track, it’s laid nicely under a stabby vocal and some nice techy drums.
  • Alex Costa – PhunkA – The rimshot snare sound is a big feature in this track, I love the build and can really imagine this going off, love it!
  • Luca M & JUST2 – Body Freak – Big funky feel to this! It has a really good bass pattern and drops like a muthaf**ka!
  • Lowboys – Bleed Out – Some awesome shakers in this and I love the drums too. Big stabby synth pattern which makes the track, nice and upbeat!
  • Lutzenkirchen – Snoop – This one is carried by its synths, has some really deep bass underneath. Good track!
  • Mihalis Safras – Barabas (Heiko Laux Remix) – Old skool synth sound to this one with loads of filtering. Goes quite deep, loads of elements coming in and out. A very nice and complex tune, great production!

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! 😉

UMEK & Heartik – Unlock My Synth Vein

Something fresh on 1605 Records. I gotta say, I absolutely love this! It’s got a really nice melody with a great breakdown, build and drop. This has a slight oriental feel if you ask me, it’s awesome! I will certainly be dropping this both in the clubs and on my radio show. Big bass hook and big techy drums, this is a winner!

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..

Carlos Manaca – Tha Bass

Now here’s just a nice, bouncy tech house track! The tech mix has a nice little synth hook with a deep vocal, the deep mix has some aggressive stabs with a nice eerie tech feel. An all round winner of a release, I can imagine moving to this in the early hours on a big club system. Released on Magna Records, get it!

Don Diablo & CID – Got Me Thinkin’

Huge track released on Steve Angello’s label ‘X Records’. Well this Soundcloud sample starts right near the breakdown, it has some choppy stabby vocals and a big long riser building up to a mahoosive drop! I haven’t had the pleasure of witnessing this one on a club system yet but I’m sure this weekend it will played on thousands. Watch out for this one as I know its gonna get played everywhere!

X-Press 2 & Sonny Wharton – Watching Octavia

This is the 100th release on Whartone Records and what a banger it is! The original mix is a really nice bouncy tech track with some dark elements and great shuffle drums, definitely main room material and a must play. The second mix is a remix by Marco Lys, I recently blogged about another one of Marco’s amazing remixes and this one is up to the same high standard, with a big breakdown and a massive drop into an amazing tech stomper. Get this in your bag… NOW!
