BYNX x Télépopmusik - Just Breathe (feat. Angela McCluskey)
Read more . . . →Somebody finally gave “Breathe” the reboot it deserved. If you were sentient in the early 2000s you know Angela McCluskey’s voice from the original Télépopmusik track that soundtracked every car advert and every comedown, and BYNX has rebuilt the whole thing for a modern floor without vandalising the memory. McCluskey’s vocal is untouched at the core, that smoky, resigned delivery still doing the heavy lifting, and BYNX wraps it in a bassline that struts where the original just drifted. The genius move is restraint: he leaves the iconic hook mostly alone and saves his fingerprints for the low end and...

Blaze presents UDAUFL feat. Barbara Tucker - Most Precious Love (Copyright Remix)
Read more . . . →Some records just refuse to age, and Most Precious Love is one of them. If you’ve spent any time near a proper house floor you know Barbara Tucker’s voice and you know this song, a 2004 anthem that still gets hands in the air two decades on, and Copyright have given it a fresh coat without touching what makes it sacred. Tucker’s vocal is a force of nature, all gospel power and lived-in soul, the kind of singing that reminds you house music grew out of the church and the disco in equal measure. Copyright keep the arrangement classic and...

Oden & Fatzo x Astels - Take Our Time (Extended Mix)
Read more . . . →When did Oden & Fatzo turn into one of the most reliable names in house without anybody making a fuss about it? Take Our Time is seven-odd minutes of exactly why, a groove that locks in around the thirty-second mark and then flatly refuses to let go. This is a proper extended mix, built for a DJ to ride as long as the room allows, and the patience is the whole point. The bassline is fat and rubbery and handles about ninety percent of the work, while a chopped vocal drifts in and out saying something about time that I...

AFROJACK & Martin Garrix - Turn Up The Speakers (Julian Jordan Remix)
Read more . . . →Did the world actually need Turn Up The Speakers remixed in 2026? Probably not, and yet here I am with it on for the fourth time today. Julian Jordan takes the 2014 Afrojack and Garrix stadium-slayer and hauls it forward, keeping the daft, gloriously stupid energy while updating the sound design so it stops feeling like a time capsule. The original was peak big-room maximalism, back when every drop was a fire alarm, and Jordan clearly loves it too much to reinvent it, so he just sharpens the edges. The vocal still barks at you to turn up the speakers...

Illyus & Barrientos & Angie Brown - I'm Gonna Get You
Read more . . . →Do you know Angie Brown even if you think you don’t? She sang the hook on Bizarre Inc’s I’m Gonna Get You back in 1992, one of those rave vocals that’s been sampled and rinsed for the better part of thirty years, and here she is singing it again over a brand new Illyus & Barrientos house production. The Glasgow pair are Toolroom regulars who know precisely how to build a groove for a peak-time floor, and handing that voice a modern low end is the sort of obvious-in-hindsight move that makes you wonder why nobody got around to it...

Sorley x Mike Dunn - Phreaky (Extended Mix)
Read more . . . →Mike Dunn does not miss, and he’s not about to start now. The Chicago house originator, a man who was making this music when most producers releasing today weren’t born, teams with Sorley for “Phreaky” and hands over a straight shot of jackin’ house with dirt under its nails. This is the real Chicago tradition: a relentless bassline, a filtered vocal loop repeating one phrase until it becomes a mantra, drums that swing instead of stomp. Dunn’s whole thing has always been groove over spectacle, the belief that the right loop looped long enough is its own reward, and Phreaky...

Solardo - Wake Me Up
Read more . . . →Solardo have built a whole career on the rolling bassline that refuses to quit, and “Wake Me Up” is another one made to run a warehouse into the ground. The Manchester duo work the tech house end of things, all low-slung grooves and just enough acid squelch to keep it interesting, and this sits right in their pocket. The bassline is the entire song, a hypnotic rubber-band figure that loops for minutes while tiny details shift around it, a filter opening here, a percussion hit dropping in there. The vocal is minimal, the title phrase chopped and echoed into the...

Maribou State - Acid Dad (Demo)
Read more . . . →Someone left a window open somewhere in Acid Dad and you can practically feel the breeze coming through it. Maribou State work a sunlit, organic corner of electronic music where live instruments and dance-floor mechanics share the same room, and even in demo form this has that unmistakable hand-played looseness. The British duo have been quiet for a while, so a rough sketch surfacing is a small event on its own. There’s an acid line in here, as the title threatens, but it’s a gentle one, more Sunday-afternoon than peak-time, curling around a groove that takes its time getting anywhere....

Fish Go Deep & Tracey K X Shy FX - The Cure & The Cause
Read more . . . →A friend sent me this at 1am with just the link and no message, which is usually how the good ones arrive. For a second I thought it was the 2006 original, and then Shy FX’s drums kicked in and it turned into something else. “The Cure & The Cause” is one of the great deep house records, Fish Go Deep and Tracey K’s slow-burn heater that has soundtracked a thousand sunrise sets, and letting a jungle veteran loose on it could have gone badly. It didn’t. Shy FX keeps Tracey K’s vocal front and centre, the ache fully intact,...

Denis Sulta & Capri - Push The Tempo (Extended Mix)
Read more . . . →The breakdown drops out to nothing but a hi-hat and a single filtered chord for a full sixteen bars, and by the time the kick punches back in you’d follow it anywhere. Denis Sulta has always made house with a grin on it, that Glasgow party-starter energy that treats the dancefloor as the only serious subject in the world. “Push The Tempo” with Capri is exactly that: bouncy, a little cheeky, a vocal shouting the title like a dare. The extended mix earns its length by taking its time, letting the groove ride before it starts stacking elements on top....
