Quentin Harris f. Margaret Grace My Joy Strictly Rhythm

Slick and sexy vocal house from NYC star Quentin Harris. Smokey vocals from Margaret Grace wrap around the deep and groovy sounds of the original, the chunked out groove of Yass' mix or the main room sounds from Harry Choo Choo Romero. An absolute must have for lovers of quality vocal house music. » AR

Leger & Lake Word Rising Music
When two guys of this calibre team up, there is no question the results will be outstanding. Enter into the mix WORD, a tech-house pounder, that snakes its way around the room only to re-emerge as a modern electro-funk-disco biscuit!!!! SWEET TRACK!!! » SJ

Jorgensen vs BSD I Don't Care Toolroom
There is only one way to describe this blitzer, electro anthem. Period. The synth-pads that devastate the room, with the seductive yet perverse vocal by Luciana, make this an easy pick for sure! » SJ
