# 50 Artist Title Label
1 2 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

2 6 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 12 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

4 15 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

5 27 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

6 42 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

7 26 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

8 31 Antoine Clamaran Pereira Is Crazy Congos

Already making waves around the globe, Antoine Clamaran's latest is an all out barnstormer. Infused with tribal drums and intense builds this one is sure to make your floor rattle. » AR

9 32 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

10 45 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

For month ending March 2008. Compiled from 100% promotional material by Andrew Reid.

# 50 Artist Title Label
1 47 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

2 46 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

3 40 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

4 32 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

5 37 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

6 24 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

7 23 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), eitherway, this pulsating and melodic number is just one example of how good this guy really is. » SJ

8 -- AMB Minifunk EQ Grey

This is simply wonderful track. Well layered, well produced, a solid array of sounds and elements that all come together to create a musical landscape... wow. Dunno what just came over us, but we blacked out writing this review. Nice track. » SJ

9 -- Patch Park Got That M Little Mountain
If you have not heard of Patch Park yet, then you probably aren't a fan of of the tech/progressive house crossbreeding that is occurring of late. Deep and dark, yet refreshingly big enough to trounce a big room, Patch Park are emerging as early favourites for our tech-house artists of the moment! » SJ
10 50 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

An absolute must have for lovers of quality vocal house music. » AR

2 3 Danism & Kenny Bobien Feelin You MN2S
A fine slice of deep vocal house. Can't go wrong when you combine Kenny's lush vocals with fine piano riffs and crisp drums. Could be a big tune for the deep heads at WMC. » AR
3 10 Dennis Ferrer f. KT Brooks How Do I Let Go King Street

More deepness from Dennis Ferrer. The next tune combines the soulful vocals of KT Brooks with some hot remixes from Charles Webster. Simply put this is feel-good, groovy house music at its finest. » AR

4 42 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

5 39 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

6 16 Studio Apartment f. Ron Carroll I'm In Love King Street

How can you go wrong with Ron Carroll on vocals? Throw in Rasmus Faber on the remix and rising producers Studio Apartment and you get another slick vocal house joint with a lot of soul. » AR

7 28 The Rurals Strange Ways DigiPeng

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

8 41 Tone Control Illusion Tone Control Music

Smooth and sensous slice of deep house. Whether it's the brooding undertones of the Tone Control Mix or the lush soundscape of The Rurals' take it simply works. » AR

9 38 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

10 48 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

::: Charles Webster Interview
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)...
