I already played this in June, maybe nobody noticed though because it was too up front, The Filip Le Frick come around with a good rollin' Latino house track with a cool rhythm and a glamorous sample too.

MC Flipside - "The Rubdown" (Heavyfeets Jack In The Day Mix)
Now this is the underground sound. So sleazy and filthy with an old school Hip House vibe, this track goes straight to the dancefloor. The Heavyfeets JackIn The Day Mix is mad - one to confuse the most open minded of dancers but any bold DJ out there should stick with it , savage electrofunk for the third Millennium.
Koen Groeneveld - "Wake Turbulence"
A new production for mister Koen Groeneveld who realises an unmistakable sound. The first part of the rhythm is very powerful, a track of immediate impact with a bassline that rips things up… Well done! Captivating, deep and not at all obvious… Let it spin and it will do the rest! One of the biggest track right now, this just keeps getting bigger and bigger with every play.
The Ting Tings - "Shut Up And Let Me Go" (Tocadisco Remix)
This infectious electro stomper is fast propelling to anthemic status and does exactly what it says on the tin. a remix that will get your public moving! Another brilliant production from Tocadisco. Listen and check them out yourself!
Dave Spoon & Paul Harris - "Baditude" (Mark Mendes Dub Remix)
This is a great house track which has been a feature of my DJ sets for a while. It’s another classic Dub Remix of a track from Mark Mendes after the great his last single "Work" One of my favourite tracks of recent times. I really like Mark Mende's production work on this Dub, he's one of the most consistent producers from the last time.... gem should tear up dancefloors all over the place!
Dirty South & Paul Harris Ft Rudy - "Let It Go" (D.O.N.S. & DBN Remix)

Chris Reece - "Suave" (Swen Weber Remix)
Chris Reece and his friend Swen Weber have a "Suave" remix ... but as long as the quality stays like this... keep them coming! It has been a while since "Wild Pitch" mix and this was worth the wait. My favourite of the month for sure.
Martin Solveig - "I Want You" (Laidback Luke Remix)
Good Electro Funk continue to shine as the awe inspiring musical collective Martin Solveig unleash the second single track from his magical album "C’est La Vie’ This beautiful Rock, House, Disco, Afrobeat, Soul & Funk tinged laid back gem a heavyweight team of musicians.As soon as I heard the ‘Original’ I thought: a lovely song… what’s needed is a remix. , this time is Martin getting the Laidback Luke treatment keeping it funk with the haunting stabs and the noodle of an electro line that gets me going on. powerful and warm like the Summer "You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want you."
Rene Amesz - "Virtual Insanity" (Original Extended)
Flamingo Recordings established themselves in a short period of time in the international label scene. After a few good releases,they struck gold with the first version of Fedde Le Grand's "Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit". Their aim is to release tracks that areready for the future, and not to repeat the same thing over & over.Few people have displayed the disciplined approach to producing that Rene Amesz has in the last ten years. Churning out a steady stream of his unique and dirty sounding tracks, the Rene Amesz sound has been destroying speakers all over the world and it looks like now, it is coming into its own at the opportune time. Rene’s first success as a producer came when he started producing records for Mid-Town under various monikers. That’s what really started his hunger for his own sound, all based on phat beats, sickgrooves and a unique approach towards arrangements and sounds. He teamed up with Peter Gelderblom who, by that time, had alreadymade a name for himself as a club and shop owner as well as a DJ/producer in his hometown of Rotterdam. Together they are responsible for tracks such as ‘Strike Me Down’ on Wally Lopez’s La Factoria Records, the mighty ‘You Make Me Climb The Wall’ on Sander Kleinenberg’s Little Mountain Recordings and remixes for Danny Tenaglia, Tom Stephan, D. Ramirez and Mark Night just to name a few.
Parker - "Western Soul" (Miles Dyson Remix)
This latest brilliant remix from Miles Dyson, perfectly in line with the sound of the moment, is distinguishable for its catchy and penetrating groove and electro sound that never becomes banal like a lot that you hear nowadays. Now Miles Dyson is the name very familiar after his successful remix of "Bullit" for Greg Cerrone. The "Western Soul" remix has an oldskool breaks influenced and on the floor it is a very respectful piece of sound pressure (as well as a euphemism). A few elegant references to the massive tech house united to some devastating synth sounds that have nothing elegant at all about them but they do assure a great result. For the floor, for the enjoyment of who plays it and, above all, for those dancing.
Danny Tenaglia - "The Space Dance" (Terrace Vocalism Mix)
After a four year production hiatus, golden boy Danny Tenaglia is back with a new single entitled The Space Dance. Named after his residency at Ibiza's Space venue this summer, Tenaglia presents us another slice of that rock-solid Dannyboy flavour we all love. The single is the first track of his forthcoming Futurism compilation, slated for release June 25. The full EP contains three versions of The Space Dance. First off is the Terrace Vocalism Mix, a stomping electro house tune with those typical energetic percussion elements, loud kicks and raging synthesizer chunks. There's a great drummy rhythm mixed through the beats which give this track a whole lot of spice and excitement, while the cymbals provide a funky tech feel for extra roughness. The break comes with delayed vocals that mix well with the beats, and I wouldn''t be surprised to see the entire Space venue screaming along with these vocals. The track is an all-percussion affair, but it will without any doubt rock many clubs the coming summer!
The Cube Guys - "Te Quiero" (Roger Sanchez Extended Remix)
Intrallazzi and Provera (better known as the Cube Guys) pretty much came from nowhere when Stealth master and commander Roger Sanchez started dropping their Te Queiro around a year ago during his legendary Monday nights at Pacha Ibiza. Within his online community heads started to turn and people really started to notice the distinctive Latin guitar and sexy vocals which make it recognizable and warm. Along the way the rest of the world caught up, (even though we carried the original from Italy because we know a good record when we hear it!) and within a matter of months the buzz was complete and the time was right That time is now.
Katie May - "You're The Only One" (Thomas Gold Mix)
Thomas Gold is pretty prolific at the moment producing some great peak time house cuts, the result for this new remix is guaranteed to take the energy levels up a few notches on your dancefloor. Maybe a bit too ‘full on’ for the vocal house song but for those who like their floors to rock this is a must!
