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

DJ Pearl & Patric LaFunk f. Shena Keep Pushin Demeanour

A remake of Boris D'Lugosch's classic Keep Pushin, Patric LaFunk is on fire once again this time teaming up with DJ Pearl. While the vocals aren't as strong as the original they still get the job done and Kurd Maverick delivers another bumping remix that will get a dancefloor rocking. » AR

3 5
Morgan Page The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix) Nettwerk

Morgan Pages knocks one out with The Longest Road. With vocals in the vein of Iio's Rapture and a killer remix from man of the moment Deadmau5 this one is set to be a dancefloor anthem. » AR

4 8
Carl Kennedy The Love You Bring Me Stealth

Rising house star Carl Kennedy knocks another one out with his vocal bumper The Love You Bring Me. With a trademark electrofied house remix from Eddie Thonieck and a more straightforward electro working from Dom Kane this one is poised to burn dancefloors around the world. » AR

5 6
Yousef & Carl Cox I Want You Cr2
This old school Carl classic gets given the modern to spruce up by none other then Yousef. Think that old school epic love, crossing paths with the big room crunch that has taken over the HUGE rooms of the world. Turn to the Deadmau5 mix for the bumping prog cut! » SJ
6 9
Supafly Inc. Be Together Eye Industries

In the vein of Bob Sinclar comes a Marley-esque vocal house joint. The remixes really make this track stand out as TV Rock gives it an upfront electro ride and Ian Carey goes for a tropical soundclash. » AR

7 14
Splittr All Alone (Michael Gray Remix) Electron

ANTHEM ALERT! Splittr's brilliant All Alone is amazing on it's own, but throw in a four to the floor stomping mix from Michael Gray and you have a prime time banger. Tough beats solid vocal stabs and slick usage of the chord progression to create massive tension all work to get those hands in the air. » AR

8 13
Martin Eyerer Barbers Pole Kling Klong

Taken from the forthcoming artist album, Word of Mouth, Martin is just about to cement himself globally as the next big ‘minimal’ techno guy (although we all know its tech-house), either way, this pulsating and melodic number is just one example of how good this guy really is. » SJ

9 7
Shlomi Aber Quivery Ovum
The eclectic sounds of Shlomi Aber are leaking into all kinds of set-lists these days. With releases on all kinds of labels including Toolroom, and now Ovum, it is clear we aren't the only ones that find the tech-house-turned techno sounds of Shlomi Aber to be of the highest calibre and quality. » SJ
10 10
Muzzaik Carbonate Cr2

Discovered if you will by Roger Sanchez, Hungarian duo Muzzaik have been on fire. This melodic and tempered electroish joint is a great example of their sound and how it can dominate dancefloors. » AR

11 21
Umek & Matthew Hoag The Santien Race Little Mountain

This epic synth builder will be sure to evoke the emotion and connection from the dance-floor, although very reminiscent of the 1999 anthem ‘cream’, this track only verges on trance keeping the its tech house sensibilities well intact. » SJ

12 23
Hatiras Green Frisbees Hatrax

Ok, so put your hands up if you loved ‘Spaced Invader’... I know, I know, pinnacle track... now, enter into your brain, Green Frisbees. Just about as much fun as anyone can have with a 'tech-house-no' record! Let the remixes begin! » SJ

13 18
The Rurals Strange Ways DigiPeng

A long-time deliverer of seriously sexy house music, The Rurals nail it once again. Sultry, sensuous vocals, a soulful instrumental with beautiful keys and great musicality... classic Rurals. » AR

14 24
Jesus Jackson Damn Physical Graffiti

The original might be a bit to much pimp disco for the seasoned underground ear, but the novadub version(s) bring the bump with some synth funk to make it well worth the shopping cart on Beatport. » SJ

15 12
Lutzenkirchen Corrodor Platform B

Although rooted in a techno feel, this swelling monster leaves the blippy-minimal at the door and becomes a finely textured tech house ditty! » SJ

16 16
Tomcraft Boogie Nights Great Stuff

His name is running around the countryside right now, and for good reason. If tech-house is your bag, tune in as everything this guy writes is seemingly gold, Boogie Nights is the next one to look for! » SJ

17 29
Lisa Millet & DJ Device One Day You Want Me HiLife

What can I say, I LOVE Lisa Millet! Her vocals just touch my soul the right way and "One Day You Want Me" fulfills that promise yet again. Whether it's the soulful original or Bad To The Bone & Booker T's funkier mix, this is vocal house bliss. » AR

18 28
Toni Granello f. Linda Lee Hopkins Lift Him Up (The MuthaFunkaz 12 Inch Remix) MAP Dance

Soulful yet still bumping house joint from rising Swiss producer Toni Granello. Where this track really gets elevated though is in the hands of veteran producers The MuthaFunkaz (DJ Spen & Gary Deane). This is prime time for all the vocal house heads without a doubt. » AR

19 17
Discount Rhinos Me, Myself, & Fuzz Sharpie Style

Tough, teched out glitchy house at its best. The chopped beats, the quirky vocal stabs, the use of melody in a creative way, all make this track speak on a lot of levels. The sickness meter is busting on this one! » AR

20 34
Inland Knights Where Ya At Raise

Taken off the Chewy Mango EP, Where Ya At jumps out with it's chopped up percussion and cool pan-flute lead. While not as bassline driven as past cuts, it still has that funky and bumping flavour we've come to love from the Knights. » AR

21 31
Blackfeel White First Night Moonbeam

A gripping, prog-rock vocal (almost Gahan-esqe) laid over some very dramatic synths, opt for the remixes for a bit more tech-bump, but overall, this baby's sweet. » SJ

22 35
DJ Vibe & Carlos Fauvrelle f. Alan T Hot Room Stereo

If you didn't expect a late night peak-time number from these two guys, I strongly suggest you take a closer look @ their respective careers. Top level stuff for the all the dark corners you run around in. » SJ

23 36
Shonky Time Zero (Paul Ritch Mix) Freak n'Chic

Minimal with a funky twist... refreshing. The musicality of Paul Ritch's mix really elevated it from your standard minimal fare into something a little more delectable and definitely more playable. » AR

24 25
Calvertron & Will Bailey Hooken EP Funktion

This week's glitchy electro flavoured ice cream award goes to this little number. Somewhere between Ramirez and a soft place is where this one does the business, if you like your glitch' this is yours to cherish. » SJ

25 38
Harvey McKay Killer Mayonnaise Cubism

If setting the mood proper is one of your missions in club-rocking, then surely you will find this to be a true gem of emotion wrapped in little surly digital package. » SJ

26 26
Candy Apple f. Anjou Step 2 Me (Inland Knights Remix) Shake & Pop

Inland Knights drop the funk hammer once again. Soulful, funky and neck-snappingly good. If you like bumping beats and slick melodies get all over this. » AR

27 39
FPS Bad Habits Dataworx

This late night number is a silky and sexy tech-house number that delivers in all the right places. Consider it a persuader, convincing the timid to step out onto the floor. » SJ

28 43
Danism & Kathy Brown Light Up My Life MN2S

Another vocal monster from the MN2S camp. Danism have been on fire of late this time teaming with the incomparable Kathy Brown. Whether it's the pushing kicks of the Electronic Soul Mix or the tribally goodness of the Audiowhores version it's a champion of the vocal arena. » AR

29 37
Giano WJSD Lazy Days

Fresh from Fred Everything's Lazy Days imprint comes a latin infused groover from Californian Giano. With a full on interlude mid-track it definitely takes you on a journey from start to finish and the flute riff rolls wonderfully over the brass swells. » AR

30 40
Okada Taxi f. Monique Bingham Come And Live With Me (Yass Remix) Symple Soul

Yass has been blazing up the deep house scene the past year and he is at it again with a no-nonsense bumping remix of "Come And Live With Me". Monique's vocals shine over the moody keys, haunting chords, and heavy kicks. » AR

31 44
James Harcourt Bitch Tits (Rezone Mix) Bug Eyed

Just in time to make you sweat, Harcourt shows up big with a grimey tech-house number sure to add some dirt to your evening... follow the bouncing synth! » SJ

32 41
Elliott Wright Wire In The Blood Influential House

This sinister little tech-house bit will have you chomping on the dials, and churning out the high intensity power this track creates. Could be the droid you are looking for. » SJ

33 42
Bellavibe f. Ollie James Let Me Take You Away PureFunk

Glorious, smile-on-your-face house music. Solid vocals, a funky groove and Hed Kandi-a-licious percussion make it work for those craving feel good moments. » AR

34 45
Lutzenkirchen Broken Bullet Craft Music

This tech-house rumbler is the quite the force to be reckoned with. Not overly complicated or intricate in design, but still wallops with a proper bass gallop sure to keep the dancefloors energized. » SJ

35 46
Steve Angello & Dave Armstrong Groove In You (Man in the Cupboard Remix) Opaque

As the title implies...there is some groove in you, and this late night ditty will be sure to bring it out of you, as it twists and bumps with a slick and dynamic chunk, sure to blend into just about anything. » SJ

36 47
Leggz & Femi B The Things You Do Peppermint Jam

This one has a very addictive hook that really draws you in and will have you humming it all day, and that's where the appeal is, it just sticks. Not overly fussy or complex it's just catchy house music. » AR

37 48
Rob Mirage Techno Girl (David Lara remix) SOLAR

Although a virtual unknown, David Lara tracks are slowly but surely filtering there way into the bags of the elite, this remix is no exception. Keeping the best parts of the original, and adding a slink all his own, this ace comes up spades for us!» SJ

38 49
The Rurals I'm Lost Digipeng

The Rurals have that knack for making delectable, sensual vocal house, and I'm Lost is no exception. Brilliant vocals, lush soundscapes and hot remixes from the likes of Ananda Project make this a must. » AR

39 --
Danny Clark & Jay Benham f. SuSu Bobien Wonderous Strictly Rhythm

Strictly continue to churn out the burners! Wonderous is soulful, gospelly goodness at its finest. SuSu's vocals are on point as always and you have a tremendous selection of mixes to suit the most discerning tastes. Muthafunkaz kill it in their traditional style but for something unique and super cool check out ATFC's Lectrotek Vocal. » AR

40 --
Antoine Clamaran Get Down Congos

Heard this one alot during WMC and its tribally goodness and bumping percussion make it a very versatile track. Great for bringing anticipation to your sets and primed for creative acapella or layering of mixes, it also has a flare to stand out on its own. » AR

41 --
Rune RK Day in the Dark EP Underwater

Just when I was thinking, haven't seen anything devastating from Underwater in a bit, they release this...a truly wonderful and simply ‘complete’ 3 song ep from Rune RK. WOW. Great pack, DJ delight for certain! » SJ

42 --
The Beatthiefs f. Shena Why Did Ya? Sutil Vox

Funky little stomper with some nice vocals and a fine selection of remixes. For those who like it chunky check out David Tort & DJ Ruff's dub, for those who like it deep go with Homm & Popoviciu's mix or for those that like it funky Sheriff delivers. » AR

43 --
Don Diablo & Grand Jackson Streets of Fire Sellout Sessions

We are not sure if it's just because we liked the movie of the same name, or if it's because this track’s Hystereo/Justice/French-Funk feel... but we do love this one! Smack the speaker all you like with this number! » SJ

44 --
Benedetto & Farina f. Akram I Miss U Work Machine

A wide variety of styles can be found on this pack but for me the almost Red Carpet feel of the Prax Paris remix does the trick. Very French, very lush and the chords although a little towards the cheese side give it a more complete feel. » AR

45 --
Paco Buggin vs. Zhio Opions Iberican

Paco Buggin, are very quickly running up the list on my favourite producers as the moment. Their tracks are lush and basstastic, all at the same time. This track is no exception. With the help of Zhio they create something fantastic. Turn to the Dario Nunez cut if you want that slick late night goodness! » SJ

46 --
Bimbo & Lemar Music Flatpack Traxx

Glitched out San Fran/Chicago style house that you'd find all over a Mark Farina offering, quite a feet for two chaps from Bulgaria. It's got that bump so stretch out your neck as there's some serious head-bobbing a'coming. » AR

47 --
Debbie Tebbs Plastic Planet Elektrofone

What’s not to love about this tech-electro chugger. It bumps, it thumps, it crunches too! If you need even more glitchy power...opt for the Joy Kitkonti remix (where has he been all this time!). » SJ

48 --
Kid Culture & Niels Mariee Revolution Pure Trax

We give this tech-house bopper full marks for tone and texture. One of those half switchy-half techno ditties that grab people and simply don’t let go. Bring on the night! » SJ

49 --
Tortured Soul Home To You (Chuck Love Remix) Coco Soul

A fine slice of soulful house remixed wonderfully by Chuck Love. Rich vocals weave over a 70's inspired funk/soul instrumental. Simply beautiful music. » AR

50 --
Various BackRoom JukeBox Vol.1 Miami Sampler 2008 1980 Recordings

Usually, a rejigged, reworked singles set isn’t all that much to write home about, but this particular one, has some choice bits on it... give it a listen... you may like what you hear... a lot. » SJ

It’s great when your star is in the ascendant, especially in that headiest of all heady worlds, the music business. That unbeatable adrenalin rush as your career seems to be on a permanent upward trajectory. Everyone loves you, everyone wants to be your friend. They slap you on the back (ouch, that hurt actually…), they want to be seen with you (hang on, your trousers reflect badly on me…), take drugs with you (just say no)...
