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

2 4
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

3 6
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

4 7
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

5 12
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

6 11
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

7 14
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

8 17
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

9 22
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

10 28
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

11 18
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

12 23
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

13 27
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

14 30
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

15 34
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

16 31
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

17 36
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

18 32
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

19 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

20 37
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

21 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

22 38
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

23 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

24 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

25 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

26 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

27 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

28 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

29 --
Eddie Thoneick I Wanna Freak U Tonik

The debut release on Eddie's own Tonik imprint is an absolute monster! Sampling the vocals from Jodeci's hit Eddie gives it his trademark funky electro house style and churns out an absolute anthem. Pick the Classic Mix for that feelgood throwback vibe or Kurd Maverick or DJ Delicious' remixes for a tougher jaunt. » AR

30 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

31 --
Copyright f. Imaani Wizeman Defected

More deep and brooding sickness from Copyright. This time the lush vocals of Imaani drip like honey over the rich and grooving instrumental. Check out the Peaktime mixes for a little more aggressive workout... top notch deep house for sure. » AR

32 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

33 --
King Unique Hinode (Fergie Remix) Curfew

Wow. Not that KU needed any help making a track huge, but where the f**k did Fergie come from with this sound! For those of you that wanna piss on the brutal hard-house crap that used to churn out of this man, put aside the hate and get on board the tech-house Fergie train... like a DJ makeover. » SJ

34 --
Funkerman Speed Up Defected

BOOM! Another anthem from Defected. Partner in crime with Fedde le Grand, Funkerman is making his own name stand out as of late. This one is sexy, tempermental, and ready to rip your dancefloor, so hurry up and get on it! » AR

35 --
DJ Wady & Patrick M Hulk Cr2

This wibbly-wonky (almost switchy) tech-house number combines that synth-popping style that the world has grown to love of late with a twisty and prominent bassline perfect for hiding out underneath everything, willingly holding down the fort. Solid number. » SJ

36 --
Eddie Thoneick Dancin Tonik

Get your hands in the air... the 2nd EP on Eddie's newly launched Tonik is a stormer as well. Glitchy, funky and all with a sweet diva vocal. This is head bobbing house at it's finest. » AR

37 --
Maal Nobody’s Sayin Phonetic

Pretty hot track, nice vocal...but its Daley Padely’s afterhours mix that brings out its dark and sexy style. Like a woman who finally finds her style and flare, Padley brings a feel all his own to it, making it something to look out for, much like his career...on the rise. » SJ

38 --
Egaar Firebox Presslab

Nothing amazingly intricate about this baby, but it drives..and sometimes that’s all you need. Bring the bass, add the filters...let it roll!!! Less is more...Presslab have always done a great job recognizing this. » SJ

39 --
We Deliver f. Erire Supernatural Nocturnal Groove

Sensational! Whether its the gorgeous original or the techier Shapeshifters remix this one is primed for peak time. Great vocals from Erire and a hook that gets instantly looped in your brain. » AR

40 --
Gregor Tresher A Thousand Nights Pt 3 Great Stuff

So, if you already loved the original, which most techno lovers do...then you will love the remixes even more! Dubfire gets a hold of it for some seriously sick DUB action, and for those who want to know who is an undiscovered techno gem, lend an ear to Patrick Zigon, this guy is the real deal. » SJ

41 --
Justin Steel & Mike MacKeeg Norway Cubism

This sultry and sexy tech-house number verges on becoming a progressive grown up, whilst all the while providing the bump to please all parties, the breakdown might sedate you, but the pay off is nice. » SJ

42 --
Glitch Crumple Zone Benchmarc

These are the kind of all over the map electro/switch/techhouse jamz that even though you may not play yourself, you just have to own it. Why? Because your a music head, and music heads love weird sh*t! So pick it up already and tell the world, or at least your mates..how bad-ass it is! » SJ

43 --
Rudder On Top Crazy 88

The track most likely to receive the Micky Slim award for the week, definitely this krunk-acid-electro bitch...On Top. So simple you think you could do it yourself, and then you realize..you cant! Werd to the mommy-f**ker! » SJ

44 --
Muzzaik Out of Reach Stealth

Muzzaik have been on fire and their next single on Stealth is epic. Sweet pads build to a get peak and some smooth piano chords. Simply beautiful music yet again from these boys. » AR

45 --
Tom de Neef & Laidback Luke Humanoidz (Arno Cost & Norman Doray Remix) Jack Squad

Arno Cost & Norman Doray kill it here with a big room working of this techy bumper. Yes the keys are a little trancey, but the overall vibe retains that house feel with slick percussion. » AR

46 --
DJ Joe K Nu Life Building Records

Someone has been doing their homework. Someone, has developed a very conscise style, that seems almost too perfect, but alas the track works. Consider it a moody and melodic tech number that delivers the late night bumps when needed. That someone incidently is DJ Joe K. » SJ

47 --
Lofty & John Kirven Sweden Cubism

Well, if the title is meant is meant to convey the scene embedded within, Sweden’s scene is loving the minimal sounding tech-house. This bit, has enough perky-percolating pads and synth chops to bring it in proper tech-style. With a strong but guiding bass line underneath, its sure to keep ‘em popping. » SJ

48 --
Roog & Greg f. Anita Kelsey Wicked World R&G Electronics

With a hot remix from Fedde le Grand, the Hardsoul boys are at it again with prime time feel good house music. » AR

49 --
Laidback Luke Break da House Down Mix Mash

If you loved that Claude von Stroke blippy bizness, this is the next one to rock it. Laidback Luke goes for a glitched out tech-house rocker that will get the floor bumping. » AR

50 --
Yves Murasca All About House Music Milk & Sugar

With a preachy vocal that reminds you of Eddie Amador's trademark and tracks from days gone by, Yves gives this an instrumental that is 100% now. The Piano Club Mix is the pick with those sweet ivories being tickled in fine fashion. » AR

It’s great when your star is in the ascendant, especially in that headiest of all heady worlds, the music business.

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)...
