FEATURED RELEASES

Dominator, the jump up legend taken from us far too soon, is being given the remix treatment of by a whole load of legends, including Upgrade, DJ Limited, T>I and Telekom & Flat T. The result is varied, moody release that touches beautifully upon all the elements of urban-edged dance music, including naughty rollers, stuttering jungle-influenced tracks and everything in between. T>I's remix of 'Hooked' very much falls into the latter category, with a rigid but solid break that underpins the wispy sense of ambience provided by the constant pads looming over the arrangement. The others are equally sick, especially Upgrade's storming remix of 'Business Man'. RIP Dominator - what a tribute this is.

Mitiko

Essence Disco Fruit

The titles here might suggest a re-edits EP but rest assured the five tracks ARE actually original, albeit sample-based, productions. 'Step Off The Train', for instance, does indeed bite EBTG's 'Missing' as you'd expect, but simply takes a two-line vocal snip and loops it up over a slo-mo grinder that sits right on the deep house/nu-disco cusp, while 'Oops Upside' is another house/disco fusion that draws not on The Gap Band but on a female-sung cover thereof. So let's not worry about sources and inspirations and just say these are five classy midtempo groovers that'll suit more discerning nu-disco floors down to the ground.

Sunpalace

Rude Movements - The Remixes BBE Music

This suite of reworks of SunPalace's much-admired early '80s jazz-funk obscurity 'Rude Movements' may well be the biggest remix package we've ever seen, thoagh it should be noted that many of the reworks are available in short and extended takes. Either way, there's much to enjoy, from the warming, solo-laden deep house brilliance of Moodymann's revisions and the sparkling, kaleidoscopic Opolopo takes (proper dancefloor jazz-funk for house-heads), to the 11-minute, synth-heavy bliss of Francois K's SATS Dub Extended Version and the sun-drenched Latin house of Frankie Feliciano's delicious rework. Elsewhere, the 'Atmosphere' mix is a starry ambient delight and Kenny Dope's various revisions boast the toughest, bounciest percussion programming.

Monday Dreamin' Blue EP CircoLoco

CircoLoco Records is a new record label forged in partnership with the iconic video game creators Rockstar Games. This is the first edition in the new compilation series called Monday Dreamin' where they will showcase contributions from established names from every era of their legendary Ibiza parties. On the Blue EP, we have got new material from the likes of Kerri Chandler, Sama Abdulhadi, Seth Troxler and Rampa, as well as a Dixon remix of Deichkind's "Autonom".

Hybrasil

Tuatha De Danann EP Rekids

The title of Hybrasil's latest release is named after the mythological race that were said to inhabit Ireland in pre-Celtic times - and there are references throughout this EP to the supernatural. The title track is a grinding, peak-time affair that features dissected vocal samples amid its pounding rhythm, while on "Hill of Tara", Hybrasil teams up with singer Sarah McQuillan to deliver a lean club track that features her ghostly, spellbinding wails. "Portal Dolmen" and "Megalith" meanwhile see the Irish producer focus on the physical rather than the ethereal, with churning chords unfolding over driving rhythms, while "Bealtaine", the Irish for May, is a deeper, dubbed out techno track.

L-side

Carnal Mind Remixed V Recordings

L-Side's debut album came out some time ago now, and this is the long awaited remix EP, featuring some of the best artists in the game giving L-Side's tunes the once over. Break steps up and nails it as per usual, taking those perfect vocals and stretching them over a punishing bassline; thank god we're back in clubs soon, because this is going to kill it. Dogger & Mindstate work their lounging piano magic to great effect, and Spirit takes the essence of drum and bass and rolls it out with a monstrously stabbing bassline. Alibi close things on a head-nodding, subby note that will have you moving for sure. Sick.
