Our powerplay for

Even we try to

well. |
|

|
Soul Central - Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own) (Defected) |
|
This was pretty
hard decision for Defected Records to put vocals to such a

than instrumental original. We love Katy Brown on vocals in
this people pleaser of 2004. |

powerplay. |

2004 Re-Styling) (Essence) |
|
Matteo Esse doing
a remix his style - garagee, classic and funky! |
|

|
Poker Pets – Lovin You (ATFC Remix) (Nocturnal Groove) |
|
Since Nocturnal
Groove, nominated for being a Breakthrough label of the year
for House Music Awards, pressed a thousand promos few months
ago, lucky dj's, who had a copy, played this to death on
Ibiza. We love this groove-house remix by Audin The Funky
Chile! |
|

|
Deep Dish – Flashdance (Raul Rincon Remix) (Positiva) |
|
Even our point of
view to this song could be fairly unpopular, it sounds
annoying. But we like very much this Raul Rincon remix, that
has fantastic groovy bass-line and made with 4/4 house
rules. |
|

|
Jose Nunez – Bilingual (Dirty Mix) (Subliminal) |
|
Subliminal Records
has already put out it's 100th release, and for the past few
years was actively looking for a new style as we think. By
the end of 2003 they found it: we powerplayed 2004 remix of
"Dancing" as a tune of the year. Now Jose Nunez
comes with another quite deep, but energetic tune. It
probably shows the sound and idea of the centruty:
bilingialuty in music, English with Spanish in this case. |
|

|
Louie Vega feat Anane - Mozalounge (Jazz-n-Groove Dub) (Vega) |
|
If you're not
attending the annual Miami Winter Music Conference, then you
don't have such a brilliant records like this one until it
get released. It was beautiful when released originally on
Vega Records, Jazz-n-Groove now are back with groovy mixes
for real pleasure on soulful dancefloors. |
|

|
Paul Johnson - She Got Me On (Yellow) |
|
Paul Johnson form
Southside of Chicago is back with another dancefloor anthem.
We call this 'child house': very naive, but cool indeed. |
|

|
Full Intention feat Xavier - It Hurts Me (f/c DTension) |
|
Full Intention has
relaunched their label Dtension this summer, and one of the
first releases after the break is this double A-Side.
Recorded with vocalist Xavier, "It Hurts Me" is a
soulful gem: it makes you sing along and even learn it's
lirycs, so this perfectly feeds your soul and gives you
opportunity to dance with track as well on every dancefloor. |
|

|
Beroshima - Acid Las Vegas (Muller) |
|
|
|

|
Aston Martinez - Seduction (Climax Dub) (Defected) |
|
There's always a
latin anthem every Summer, this production could be the one
for 2004. Sexxy female spoken vocal is
one of the reasons why dub was called Climax! |
 |
D’Stephanie feat Melissa - Too Good To Be True (Soul Avengerz Remix) (Realbasic) |
|
The Relabasic
records was launched in the year 2002 by three Germans: Sebastian Krieg,
Christian (C Willy) Waitzinger and Sascha Bickel. This is
label's eight release with voice of wonderful Melissa
Anckaert. We love uplifting disco mix by Soul Avengerz, our
persons of the soulful summer. |
 |
Mista D vs Sneak - Mr. Dobilina (Leg) |
|
The story of funky
tracks, that used samples or themes from 80's classic
records continues. This time DJ Sneak and Mista D were
inspired by "Mr. Bob Dobilina" of Del Tha Funkee Homosapien.
If Mista D's version is less filled with sounds, Sneak's mix
is soooo groovy and funky - we just can't stand still. |
 |
Sharpside - Belgian Resistance (The Idiots Dry Nuts Remix) (Renaissance) |
|
This is a classic
production by the project, behind which stands one of the
man of the moment - Kid Creme. The remix of this instant
classic made guys, who played in Baltic States (in Lithuania
actually) Omid 16B and Desyn Masielo. |
 |
Starsailor - Four To The Floor (Thin White Duke Remix) (EMI) |
|
Planet Funk proved
us how good rock-music could sounds as electronic dance.
Here's another example of fantastic song get remixed for
dancefloors. |
 |
Sandy Rivera - Dreams (Chus & Ceballos Club Mix) (Defected) |
|
Once again this
wonderful tune from Sandy Rivera, where he used Duke
Ellington's theme "Caravan" is powerplay in the
show, but this time touched by two Spanish supremos Chus
& Ceballos. |
 |
UJ Project feat Lucie Cunnigham - You Are My Everything (Duff Note) |
|
The first offering
of Richard Earnshaw's label Duff Note this year was played a
lot by ourselves in the show, that is still our big
favourite. New release on Duff Note comes from UJ Project
and reminds us of two previous summers hits made by Axwell
under his Mambana moniker "No Reason" and "Libre".
So this would be a hit in a shape of Axwell's songs. |
 |
Eric Kupper presents Organika - Cuchifritos (Wave) |
|
New track coming
from classic and verrrry talanted multi-instrumentalist Eric
Kupper, who has written/produced/remixed over 1,000 records
for past decade. Just epic and gorgeous. |
 |
Kid Crème feat Shurakano - Doing My Own Thing (Illegal
Beats) |
|
Kid Creme along
his partner in crime Junior Jack both have their own Belgian
style, like French producers had the late 90's. Another
major anthem for this summer, second one after "Lola's
Theme" by Shapeshifters, that appeared in Miami earlier
this year. |
 |
Neruda - West Ghost (A Brand New Sofa Mix) (Bustin Loose) |
|
This track was
powerplayed by mr. Pete Tong in his show, we are no exeption
- this is awesome house production. |
 |
Miguel Migs feat Li’sha - Do It For You (Original Vocal) (Salted Music) |
|
The first release
of new San-Francisco label Salted Music, runned by mr Miguel
Migs himself. Vocals on this soulful dee gem performed by
Lisa Shaw. We feel this! |
 |
Bobby Blanco & Miki Moto - 3AM (Defected) |
|
Based on original
production by DC Lareux "Cathedrals" this funky
work-out gained a lot of positive emotions and feedback at
this year's Winter Music Conference in Miami. |
 |
S.U.M.O - Supra Sumo (Live Bounce) (Soulfuric Trax) |
|
People at
Soulfuric definitely knows, what is pure quality of soulful
house music. They delivers brand new production
from Swedish project S.U.M.O, who last week hosted club
GRavity in Vilnius. Supra Sumo has a warm summer vibe with a
smouldering spoken vocal and a hook that you'll be singing
or humming for some time to come. Combined with guitars,
horns and funky beats the result is a rather infectious
groove. |
 |
The Crumpsters - Burning Up (Layla) (Cramp Daddy Mix) (Subliminal) |
|
We feel, that this
track is the first really good release of Subliminal Records
in recent times. Groovy house record,
that reminds us of the mid-90's house music movement. |
 |
Natural Rhythm - Freak FM (Kevin Surray remix) (Blockead) |
|
Housy powerplay
from the show hosted by DJ Dmi3. |
 |
Groove Junkies pres Diva 2 Diva - Didn’t I Bring You Love (Richard Earnshaw Vocal
Mix) (More House) |
|
The latest
original offering from Groove Junkies pairs Diane Carter
with More House labelmate Indeya in a scandalous love
triangle scenario that showcases their extraordinary talent. |
 |
Knee Deep - Pastime Paradise (White Label) |
|
Very cool new
production from these German producers, who used Stevie
Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" theme in this. |
 |
Cerrone feat Jocelyn Brown - Hooked On You (Jamie Lewis Remix) (Purple Music) |
|
20 years old
classic get remixed by the finest Switzerland's soulful
house man Jamie Lewis. He made this classic even better. |
 |
Copyright feat Imaani - Running Away (Copyright Recordings) |
|
New undoubtely
fantastic sound of Copyright posse with the Incognito's
Imaani on vocals. |
 |
J.Louis & Ferran feat Evan - Sou Ferra (2004 Mix) (White Label) |
|
We don't know much
about this record, but it is very energetic and progressive. |
 |
Nu Rythmix - Babylon (The Word) (Swing City) |
|
Follow up form Nu
Rythmix made in a way, that Julien Jabre's "Elle"
was done. |
 |
Zoot Woman - Gem (Paper Faces Remix) (Wall Of Sound) |
|
|
 |
Simon Grey feat Abby Joyce - Prophecy (Purple Music) |

 |
Break Legend - Lychees (Mantra Breaks) |
|
|
 |
Major Boys feat Kathy Brown - Voodoo Magic (Stealth) |
|
Roger Sanches, who
released this song on his Defected' imprint Stealth Records,
has pioneered "Voodoo Magic" in Ibiza last summer
on his Monday residencies at Pacha. Suitable for big rooms
even Kathy Brown performed vocals in her usual ultra-soulful
manner. Our big favourite at the moment. |
 |
Roland Clark - Resist (Jason Jinxx Club Remix) (Fluential) |
|
As it said on
official Defected family web-site, track was made for
already 18 months ago and released only now in the UK, not
in America. Bitter criticism in text on the track is general
feeling of some American producers in the new millenium. |
 |
Black Shampoo - Feel The Funk (Eddie Amador’s Fever Pitch Mix 2003) (So True) |
|
We feel this is so
true house music. After loving novadays Amador's project
Mochico, we now are fans of his mix of classic "Feel
The Funk". |
 |
Mood 2 Swing - Can't Get Away From You (Rulers Of The Deep Club Mix) (Defected) |
|
It was a classic
already in 2003 for soulful heads around the globe, we were
glad about Mood II Swing reunification. One of the first
2004 Defected releases brings fantastic remixes of "Can't
Get Away From You", and we choose remix made by
Estonian stars Rulers Of tHe Deep. It uses original drum and
bass line from jack-classic "No Way Back" by
Adonis, which we love very much. |
 |
Copyright feat Shovell – Bulo (Afro Mix) (Soulfuric Trax) |
|
First powerplay of
2004 comes from UK talents - Copyright, who made unusual
production, comparing to their previous tracks. "Bulo"
feautures vocal talents of former M-People percussionist
Shovell, and is very hot latin-infused records. |
|
|
 |
THE POWERPLAY OF THE YEAR 2003 |
|
Erick Morillo,
Jose Nunez & Harry Romero feat Jessica Eve - Dancin' (Subliminal) |
 |
Jasper St. Company - He's Alright (Gianni Coletti ‘Housegroovers’ Mix) (Dream
Beat) |
|
Jasper St. Company
are back with good peace of gospel tip house music. Whithin
one weekend it gained a lot of love on the dancefloors in
Riga. |
 |
Deetron - Miss Suave (Intec) |
|
We kind going mad
before the Christmas time, and having very fast and techy
powerplays in the show. This one is just wonderful track
from Carl Cox' label In-Tec Records. |
 |
Man With Guitar - Man With Guitar (Kitsune) |
|
Extremely
energetic track. |
 |
K.O.T - Thru (Defected) |
|
It's the B-sider
of forthcoming on Defected Sandy Rivera's new single, which
actually is double A-sider. Of course "Dreams" (used
the theme from jazz classic Duke Ellington's "Caravan")
is extremely catchy, but "Thru" is that kind of
record, that you need to drop in a right time and the right
place. |
 |
Midi X-Press feat May - Fais Ce Qu’il Te Play (Bini & Martini Club Mix) (Stereo
Seven) |
|
Maybe we are a bit
alte with this, but even the text on the Bini&Martini
reix of that Midi X-Press single is quite cheesy, we like
the way it made. B&M delivers their own percussions with
the bass, made the main-line. |
 |
M-Gee - Can't Let Go (Dub Mix) (Swing City) |
|
The follow up to
the first fantastic single by M-Gee. We choose dub mix,
which works on dancefloors very well. |
 |
Uppfade - Manteca Grooves (Afro Fiesta Mix) (Capital Records) |
|
We launched our
Latvian label called Capital Records, and the first release
on it will be afro-latin flavoured production of the finest
Jelagava's prodeucer Uppfade "Manteca Grooves",
that has beaan played for already whole summer and gained
positive reactions form clubbers and also some big dj's on
this planet. |
 |
Julius Papp feat D'Layna - Gotta Keep Movin' (Original Mix) (NeoDisco) |
|
Julius Papp fires
up more NeoDisco records pressure on the second offering
from his own imprint. Gotta Keep Movin is a slick vocal
track with funky synth leads designed to keep you movin.
Beau-ti-ful! |
 |
Danny Howells feat Erire - Dusk 'Til Dawn (9pm Club Mix) (Hed Kandi/ Yoshitoshi) |
|
Oh, finally we
could powerplay this fantastic song coming from one of the
most talented dj's and producers on Earth. It appeared in
the beginning of 2002 on one of highly acclaimed Hed Kandi
compilations only on CD with no plans to be released as a
single. Then Shaboom in the UK and Yoshitoshi in America
were trying to sign this record. America wins this time, big
up Yoshitoshi! |
 |
Black Masses - You Know How To Love Me (Lenny Fontana Mix) (Odyssey) |
|
Lenny Fontana
delivers another groovy and soulful remix for the
contemporary classic project Black Masses. This is follow up
to their previous anthem, and as Mr. Fontana told, he was
about to provide the same groove and energy as on the
prevoius single. We feel that! |
 |
Martin Solveig - Rockin Music (Mixture) |
|
We should admit -
we just love, what Martin Solveig do in wonderful France.
This year he gave us fantastic anthemic remix of Salif Keita
"Madan", that still rockes the dancefloors across
the Baltic's. Here is his original production, that brings
blend of house, electric sounds and good old guitars. |
 |
The Latin Project - Lei Lo La (Full Length Album Version) (Electric Monkey) |
|
Usually we choose
only one version to be the powerplay in the show. But this
record is so fulfilled with latin magic, that this with all
the great mixes (M.A.W, Incognito etc) is our record of the
week. |
 |
Soulground feat Koncha Buika - We Play House (f/c Stereo Cool) |
|
It's time for
another house-music anthem for us, here in Dance Box studio.
DJ Chus and David Penn worked together again after
successful "Baila", this time with female vocalist
Koncha Buika, whos mainly spoken vocal is very energetic. It
goes "And we play house music, and believe in the house
of love, and you dance house music" - it's all about
us. |
 |
Ritmo Da Rua - Universal Love (Brian Tappert Prime Time Vibe) (Soulfuric Deep) |
|
Ritmo Da Rua's
classic "Universal Love" originally came out on
the Italian Streetvibes imprint. It instantly became a
staple in the sets of deep house dons across the globe. Here
Soulfuric's very own Brian Tappert on remix duties providing
the perfect blend of Latin house rhythms and soulful jazz. |
 |
Dave Storm feat Max C - Lovin U (Vocal Mix) (White Label) |
|
Once again we
proud to present production of one of the most creative dj's
and composers form the Baltic States. Dave Storm have been
our favourite producer for few years already, since he
started to release his own tracks and songs. It's another
turn of his collaborations with Philadelphian singer Max C (remeber
their "Ride"). Flying trupets, groovy rhythm
section, touching voice of Max C and lovely lyrics - we just
love this epic 10 minutes song. Exclusively for Dance Box in
Baltic's. |
 |
Kings Of Tomorrow - Dreams (Defected) |
|
What we could say
about this new K.O.T. records? It is all about quality, as
mr. Sandy Rivera was always delivering. Another record
crossing the borders in house music. lovely tune, as well as
very mellow b-side "Thru". |
 |
Sunset Freakz - Back To The Island (Wyze) |
|
The original
company, who runs respected by us label Swing City, putted
out on vinyl this fantastic sunset tune, already pionnered
by the likes of Brandon Block and Pete Gooding on Ibiza this
year. Plus to the uplifting Back To The Island with
wonderful breaks in the middle of the track, is flip with
rather tasty downtempo variation of this theme "Chill
On The Island". |
 |
DJ Gregory - Elle (Frankie Feliciano Re-edit) (Defected) |
|
DJ gregoty is our
remixer/producer of the moment, during this summer he
delivered three powerplays. Two was his remixes, so now time
for original production from his French studio. Just
C.L.A.S.S.I.C tune! |
 |
DJ Pufo - Mon Amor (Device Records) |
|
Soulfuric records
in Miami started to distribute this new label on scene, that
promise to deliver only the high standart soulful house
music. The first release is the best prove of label's
direction, excellent summer cut, which suits the main
dancefloors, as well as more deeper floors. |
 |
Despina Vandi - Gia (DJ Gregory Main Remix) (Mascotte) |
|
French DJ and
producer Gregory delivers another tasty remix of Greek theme
by despina Vandi. Two months gone since we powerplayed his
mix of contemporary classic John Ciafone's "Everyday"
- here he comes again with even better percussive and
progressive indeed remix of eastern theme (that is so
popular these days). |
 |
Blaze - We Are One (King Street Sounds) |
|
Last year, when
this classic producers of soulful house music released their
album "Spiritually Speaking" we had a big
favourite "Breathe", which also was powerplayed in
the show. Now they bring us the follow-up to "Breathe"
- "We Are One". Once again a lot of positivity,
fantastic vocals and rich melody. |
 |
Double Dee - Shining (Cicada Remix) (Positiva) |
|
Something
refreshing for this hot summer in Baltic's... Cicada's mix
of we believe Italian production Double Dee, that is above
the style of music, it is just good song. |
 |
SerJaye - Mahal Kita (Sound Of Soul Remix) (Neat Music) |
|
This week we air
tha most beautiful deep-house mix, that we ever heard before
compiled and mixed by members of C&M PRoductions. These
two guys also has remixed SerJaye's "Mahal Kita" -
beautiful song, and made it fulfilled with soul and good for
dance floors. |
 |
Roy Ayers & Kerri Chandler - Good Vibrations (Kerri’s Mad
Mix) (Mad House) |
|
It was released
last year already, but this fantastic tune coming again on
MadHouse label with the new mixes. We still like Kerri's mad
mix, which brings us to the best times of house music, he
got the vibe! |
 |
Big Bang Theory feat Derek Conyer - Do U Got Funk? (Big Love) |
|
Very own Defected'
Seamus Haji returns with his highly acclaimed project Big
Bang Theory. This is a follow up to his successful "God's
Child", which was released oficially with another
vocals, not the same, that appeared on promos. Now Seamus
works with Derek Conyer, fantastic vocalist, who already
gave us Dance Box' powerplay of 2002 with Denver project. A
bit of Subliminal sound, with funky and disco filtered
background. |
 |
Moloko - Forever More (FKEK Vocal Mix) (Echo) |
|
This is a very
tasty combination of original band Moloko, and two remixers/producers
Francois Kevorkian (Body&Soul very own) and Erik Kupper
- new song with beautiful voice of Roisin Murphy just
letting you fly. |
 |
Sessomato - I Need Somebody (Joey Negro Vocal Remix) (Azuli) |
|
A bit dark, but
still with that disco-feel in Joey Negro style. We think,
the soulful house should sound like that novadays. |
 |
John Ciafone - Everyday (DJ Gregory’s Mix) (Boombastic) |
|
This record was
our favourite for some time, since it came again on
Slip'n'Slide records' recent Jazz In The House compilation.
DJ Yousef was pioneering Gregory's mix of that on Winter
Music Conference already. Combination of hot afro-percussion
and strings and melody is just the killer! |
 |
Panyard - Can I Get Through (KhaiMar) |
|
The soulful vibe
of this record (and of all the songs form KhaiMar family) is
definitely our favourite sound of the moment. Fantasticly
simple and nice lyrics, good voice arrangement and melody -
this, what we call The Real Song. |
 |
P.Diddy & Kelis - Let's Get Ill (Deep Dish Vocal Mix) (White Label) |
|
This year before
the Miami Winter Music Conference, P. Diddy claimed, that he
goes to make very hot house record. Here it goes, made
together with Kelis and remixed by very original Deep Dish.
We suppose this remix isn't very charcateristic for American
duo, but it grooves the dancefloors everywhere. |
 |
Mambana - Libre (Axwell Essence Dub) (Soulfuric) |
|
Soulfuric family
defenitely is one of our favourite labels in the world, for
the 15 years they brings superb soulful sound. Even
sometimes records sounds similar, and this Mambana
produciton is the exact follow up to previous anthem
"No Reason" - we love this mood very much.
Axwell's essence dub is a dreamy house record with good
portion of vocals. |
 |
Roland Clarke pres Urban Soul - President House (Hott 22 Vocal
Mix) (King Street) |
|
Roland Clark
returns with his project Urban Soul. He delivers fantastic
summer anthem with a very tasty refren "If house is a
nation, I wanna be president". This is especially
relevant to current political situation in America. Both
Hott 22 mixes (vocal and dub) gets good responce on the
dancefloors. |

THE POWERPLAY OF
YEAR 2002. |
|
|
 |
Dino Lenny “Change The World” (Age One) |
|
Italian production,
that for us sounds as the follow up to Layo&Bushwacka's
"Love Story". Lovely melancholic tune. |
|
|
 |
Stephanie Cooke “Rain (Let It Fall Down)” (DF’s Rainforce
Mix) (King Street) |
|
Fantastic positive
song from one of the soulfullest record labels on the planet
King Street. Our favourite mix on this record is courtesy of
Dennis Ferrer, one of the artist, who's working with Jerome
Sydenham - he done fantastic performance in Riga last
weekend! |
|
|
 |
Kiko Navarro feat Concha Buika “Perfect Place (Show Me
Love)” (Chus & Penn Stereo Mix) (Flamingo Spain) |
|
Shouts and respect
to Stereo Productions team for such a fantastic music,
they're releasing! Another production by the team, gaven us
such a latin anthems like "Sunshine" - DJ Chus
& David Penn. This time they made vocal and darky remix. |
|
|
 |
Everything But The Girl “Corcovado” (Knee Deep Classic Club Mix) (Virgin) |
|
What can we say
about this record - it is classy form the beginning, and has
been made a lot of times. New version is courtesy Knee Deep
- and in pure Knee Deep style. |
|
|
 |
Whitney Houston “Whachalookinat” (Full Intention Vocal Mix) (Arista) |
|
There's few
artist, who's music is always welcome in the show and you
could find their p[roductions almost on every Dance Box
mix-compilations. Full Intention on the remix side brings us
fun again - their mix of Whithney Houston's "Whachalookinat"
is another favourite after remix of Moony's "Dove",
which have that copyright FI sound with very fat and groovy
bass-line. A gem for uplifting soulful parties! |
|
|
 |
Andricka Hall “Stay Inside My Life” (Louis Benedetti Original Re-Edit) (Soulshine) |
|
This is A-side
from fantastic American Soulshine label, that released two
Louis Benedetti mixes of garage songs (second one is by Deep
Swing with mighty Xavior). Mr. Benedetti bringing original
stateside garage vibe, what we miss in soulful music
novadays. We love this jazzy touch! Excellent! |
|
|
 |
Selective Spirit "Do You Feel Me" (Original
Demo) (Subliminal Soul) |
|
We got this track
form Dave Strom, Estonian DJ and producer in the beginning
of summer, and since that Bogdan have been playing that in
almost every of his sets. It always got good responce on the
dancefloors. It is the second Dave's collaboration with
Charlie (first called "Ride" came out on new Joey
Musaphia's label Refunkt and was our powerplay as well). The
song is classic in the meaning of stateside garage, we miss
that music since the end of big times of garage scene in
90s. |
|
|
 |
Room 5 "Make Luv" (Sound Division/Positiva) |
|
This sample track
was made by Junior Jack and Olivier Cheatham already in the
beginning of the year and appeared on one-sided promo form
Italian label Sound Division. We love this track, that
contains two classic themes, that in the late 90s existed
separately as a song and track. It goes: "Make love and
listen to the music"! |
|
|
 |
G-Club presents Bando Sonora “Pressure Coocker” (Guitarra G
Remix) (Defected) |
|
Gerald Elms bring
another fantastic tune from his project Bando Sonora on it's
home lable Defected Records. Hopefully more mixes to come,
because this tune as previous "Guitarra G" has
already gets a contemporary classic. More harder mixes form
Lab Rats on original release for active dancefloors. |
|
|
 |
Stephane Malca “Revolution” (Alex Neri’s Remix) (Pro-Zak
Trax) |
|
We've been looking
for that record since it appeared on DJ Yousef's mix-cd in
Muzik magazine in year 2000. Now this is released again on
french label's Pro-Zak double compilation "Complitrax",
so we're happy!!! |
|
|
 |
Simon Garcia & Karim Shaker
"Central Park/Sunday@Mambo" (Beatfreak) |
|
The 12'' is great
on the both sides, we suppose it is double A-Side. In the
show we're playing Central Park very saxxy and percussive
groover, Sunday@Mambo using beatiful fluite and very similar
to first track drums and percussions. |
|
|
 |
Africanism "Balearic" (Yellow) |
|
There was only few
Africanism releases, that haven't been powerplays in the
show. Another one french plastic is very important to us.
Produced by Diva "Balearic" are perfect
illustration for this windy and wet autumn. Lovely cut with
a touch of progressive sound. |
|
|
 |
Deep Sensation "Stay A While"
(Junior) |
|
Paul Hunter and
Colin Gate are two people behind Deep Sensation, the project
that made a very different records for the last years. In
2001 we've been playing their vocal anthem "Somehow
Somwhere" on Fluential, this time Deep Sensation brings
beautiful, deep and a little bit depressive record. Quality
piece of deep-house! |
|
|
 |
Original Soulboy feat Monica Vasconelos “High On
Sunshine” (Club Mix) (Dadhouse) |

Amillionsons "Misti Blu"
(Magik J Vocal Mix) (London) |
|
Another powerplay
remixed by our man of the moment Magik J - Dick Johnson from
Shaboom project and label. You can uplift any dancefloor
with that groovy record with quite simple, but funky
bass-line. It goes: I am misti blu, when I look at you... |
|

Coming from french
label of David Duries Brique Rouge, single from DJ Linus
telling a story what the underground electronic and soulful
music is. Remix done by the Brique Rouge's own Usual

Ian Pooley & Magik J "Piha"
(Honchos Music) |
|
Ian Pooley, master
of the tech-house, together with Magik Johnson from Shaboom
has produced another tune, real authentic anthem for this
summer, that we awaited for since Pete Heller's "Big
Love". This also makes you smile, when you hear ir at
home, and make you dance and happy on the dancefloor. |
|
|
 |
Blaze "Breathe" (Slip'n'Slide) |
|
This should be a
first single from the forthcoming Blaze album called "Spiritually
Speaking", but the label decided to put "Do You
Remember House" first. So it comes later, and we could
say the song is fantastic. It have the original 70's feeling,
not only because Philip Bailey's (Earth, Wind & Fire)
voice appeared on the record... We suppose the song have
best lyrics for contemporary soulful dance music. |
|
|
 |
Sandy Rivera "I Can't
Stop" (Aurei) |
|
Very simple and
catchy tune indeed. For the energetic deep-house parties. We
called it 'Paul Johnsons Get Get Down' of this summer. Huge
on the dancefloors! |
|
|
 |
Rodamaal "Love Island"
(Original Mix) (Jazz Up) |

This is a
fantastic deep-house record! Usually powerplays are more
uplifting, but the quality of the track is undoubtley gives
it a chance to be the main single of the week. We love that! |

Foundation "That Feeling" (Defected) |

The record comes
from one of the big guests of the Baltic's - spanish and
internationally known DJ Chus. The original version of the
track is tipical for instrumental jazzy-house records, but
it definitely work well on the dancefloors. It have
fantastic spoken refren "we gotta return that feeling".

Club Mix) (Soulfuric) |

It continues the
golden period for the American Soulfuric stabe, confirmed as
one among the very limited American labels not only
appreciated by the most prestigious exponents of the club
circuit but also by the international broadcast networks
that seem to appreciate more and more every releases offered

Cosmos "Take Me With You"
(White Label) |
|
Another summer
production from legendary Tom Middleton under his Cosmos
alias. The tune is beautiful and very untipical fro
contemporary dance electronic music, it is between house and
trance, very different stules of music. Mr. Middleton found
the way to connect theses styles without using standarts of
progressive house. |
|
|
 |
The Streets "Weak Become
Heroes" (Ashley Beedle's Love Bug Remix) (176/Locked On) |
|
Our respect to all
the artists, who were mentioned in the track and to Ashley
Beedle of course too! This is epic remix for histroy of
house music. |
|
|
 |
Different Gear "A Little Bit
Paranoid" (City Rockers) |
|
We called it the
follow up for X-Press 2' "Lazy": once again about
our lives. Theme of paranoia is very popular in electronic
music. Remember William Orbit's "My Best Friend
Paranoia"? This sounds cool for contemporary house
scene. |
|
|
 |
E-Man "Caves Of Altimira"
(Michael Moog Dub) (Nervous) |
|
|
There's not so
many instrumental records, that are suitable for the playing
on the radio and club-playing. Nervous Records out of New
York brings release of E-Man's "Caves Of Altimira"
with just awesome dub by Michael Moog.
|
|
|
|
|
Master At Work feat India
"Backfired" (Joey Negro Remix) (MAW)
|
|
|
What's happening when three
legendary soulful producers working together? We call it an
anthem. Even India's vocal is old-fashioned, the song is
soulful enough for the summer, and it has that Joey Negro's
flowing-disco feel.
|
|
|
|
|
Carino "Kassai" (DadHouse)
|
|
|
Hacienda classic
from 1987, was supported by any of big house dj's you ever
can imagine. Groovy piano, superb latin percussion, and the
melody - just great!
|
|
|
|
|
Tim Deluxe featuring Sam Obernik
"It Just Won't Do" (Underwater)
|
|
|
It comes from man
of the moment, how they call Mr. Deluxe on the radio in the
UK. He made few top remixes available on promo at the moment
for Low Fidelity Allstars and others. And this is
forthcoming summer "hands in the air" anthem.
|
|
|
|
|
16th Element "Well Strung"
(Viscious Vinyl/ Subliminal/ Loaded)
|
|
|
Pioneered on the
world radio by Mr. Danny Rampling, in the beginning after
releasing in Australia it was our favourite. Now the
double-single with the new this years Miami anthem "Warp"
released as a doublepack on Subliminal and on Loaded in
Europe. Superb!

|
|
|
|
Shakedown "At Night" (Kid

Jonnie Polyester “If You Want
Me” (Mark Knight Club Dub) (BlackBooty)
|
|
|
Originally
released in 1981 and featuring the vocals of Barbara Roy,
‘If You Want Me’ suffered from the backlash of the
‘Disco Sucks’ movement in the USA. As a result a track,
which would have certainly made top 10 at the time of
‘Saturday Night Fever’ two years earlier was never fully
appreciated by a wider audience. For all lovers of disco,
Jonnie Polyester presents his updated and re – arranged
mix of a lost classic along with a club remix from Mark
Knight (K&M). Jonnie discovered the track thanks to good
friend and Disco-House Don Dave Lee a.k.a Joey Negro (Jakatta,
Raven Maize et al).

Barrio Brothers feat Onionz &
Joeski “Editz 4 Daze” (Shaboom)

Dance Freak "The Prayer"
(Original Gospel Mix) (Afro Art)
|
|
|
Luke Howard and
Marc Woolfords second offering as disco hedonists Dance
Freak and it's a string laden percussive vocal monster with
the Lurleen Lewis's vocals. It sounds very positive and
sunny for us.

The Lab Rats "Take Me In
Your Arms (Tonight)" (Dub Mix) (White)
|
|
|
Third already
production from ATFC and Warren Clarke coming out on their

Pink Coffee "Another Brick
In The Wall" (White)

|
Grant Nelson "Free" (Swing
City)
|
|
|
The first
instalment of feel-good summer flavas from Grant Nelson.
This is fresh and uplifting, with a tough, yet funky
bassline, buliding up to fusion of brass and piano rifts
which take it to the next level.
|
|
|
|
|
Harry Morse Project "I'm On
Fire" (HMP Mix) (Big Wave)

New single from
Harry Morse Project is all about jazzy-house. Smoothe male
vocal, plus all the live instruments - we just love that
business.
|
|
|
|
|
Georgie Porgie "Love Will
Save The Day" (Vinyl Soul)
|
|
|
New production
from young and talented Chicago artist Georgie Porgie, who already has
given us positive anthem "Life Goes On" last year. This is
uplifting garage track, made in Chicago tradition with
a very funky guitar sample. Essential for happy dance-floors.
|
|
|
|
|
Denver "Never Give Up"
(Chus & Ceballos Vocal Remix) (Stereo Productions)
|
|
|
Chus &
Ceballos has given another life to this song. They made it,
as we say, with spanish touch - it sounds progressive, but
housie indeed because of touching vocal and that percussive
line.
|
|
|
|
|
Dave Strom feat Charlie C "Ride"
(Ceremony)
|
|
|
If you don't know, you

Estonian finest Dave Strom - dj and producer.
|
|
|
|
|
Africanism "Macumba Walele"
(Yellow)
|
|
|
This time Mr. Bob
Sinclar has worked with another french producer Bibi. It
sounds very happy according to previous deep cuts from
Africanism project. Here horns sounds nice with the
saxophone, and the Hornappella is essential DJ tool!
|

|
|
Marvin Springer "Lies"
(Basement Boys)

A classic cut
