Review: Tony Wardan is a Melbourne house-head who draws inspiration from all the right names in Levan, Knuckles and DJ Sneak. The Hudson Dialog veers from tight electro funk on "Darlings on Charlie" (reminiscent of Machinedrum's mighty 'YNY' from last year) to the bouncing digi funk of "What's The Stuff" which mines a hip hop acapella for some fresh accents.

What I Like (Is House Music) (Reinoud Van Toledo remix) - (5:17) 124 BPM
Review: While Cole Media has always been capable of cranking out sweaty floorfillers, much of his best music bobs along at a more sedate tempo (remember that blissful smack-house dub of the Bee Gees from a few years back?). "What I Like (Is House Music)" bobs along at a head-nodding 112 BPM, offering a warm, melodic and organ-heavy fusion of deep house, sun-warm nu-Balearica and knowing garage revivalism. It's a pleasing combination. There are two more upbeat interpretations for those seeking bare dancefloor thrills. L'Equipe Du Son delivers a sax-laden homage to mid-90s New York house, while Reinoud van Toledon offers a mix of touchy-feely chords and tribal percussion.
Review: Larger than life L'Equipe Du Son is one of the electro-disco scene's quirkier characters. And we applaud him for it. "Le Rocker" is an Ed Banger style banger with all manner of crisp cuts and filtered flourishes while "Snowballing" is a much more abrasive, acid-riddled disco stomper. Meanwhile on a remix flex we find Moustache Machine doing a fine impression of Justice, we find Emeron & Fox applying a mesmerising cosmic twist and we find Final DJs pressing the big 'euphoria' button on their controls for a stunning climax.
