Here is a straight up boogie number from kiwi producer, who describes himself as a soul bustin’, jazz spankin’, funk slangin’ breaks monkey! For our Sunday Chill, we have an edit of Discothèque’s ‘Disco Special’ from the album ‘Intro Disco’. As he describes it “Chopped, cleaned, punched, fattened, mooged and sampled into a nice long NuDisco burner.” Delicious disco for a very hungover Sunday! Plus it’s a free download, nice. Enjoy.

Finnebassen, the mighty Norwegian born producer is dropping his next EP on the one and only House of Disco Records. His ‘Baby’ EP comes with 3 unique remixes from Monitor 66, Ron Basejam and Debonair… making this another fine release from HOD.
You’ll recognise Finnebassen’s trademark bass line on the original, but in this track he strays away from his usual echoing house vibes, opting for a rich funk feel. Monitor 66 step in to add a tropical feel, Ron Basejam works his boogie magic and probably my favourite from the release, Debonair strips down the track into a deeper touch.
Release date isn’t confirmed yet, but drop HOD a line here and they will notify you as soon as it’s out.

Adrian and Adrian, or Adriatique as they’re better known, seem to have made Diynamic their home, but have strayed for this, their remix of Edu Imbernon and Los Surubas ‘Fayer’ on Culprit.
‘Fayer’ has devastated many a dancefloor and Adriatique, as always, have come up with their own unique spin. Featuring all the best elements of the original such as the brash guitar notes and the laidback Giorgio Moroder vibe but incorporating a big groovy new bassline and an old school summertime vocal refrain has seen them elevate the track to stunning new heights. The skippy, trippy beats and heady synths will have you donning your best disco suits, reaching for a cocktail and heading the floor. Quite frankly we’re in love with it so much it’s got us attempting to grow ‘taches.
‘Fayer’ is out on Culprit on April 29th.

Ejeca is an artist we’ve given quite a few column inches already this year, with some killer releases such as his sublime remix of Russ Chimes ‘Turn Me Out’ and his own ‘Frequency EP‘ on Last Night On Earth. Here he’s teamed up with one of our favourite labels 2020 Vision for their next release, the ‘Life In Flux’ EP.
This 4 track EP fuses various elements of garage, house and techno in to 4 slices of deep, off-kilter soulful house. ‘Jump’ opens the EP with a bang, shuffling beats and bright bubbling chords progress throughout the track taking you on an emotional ride. ‘Purnsley’ takes things deeper with dubbed out lines and warm pads to create a melodic groove. Next up is ‘Home’ which is guaranteed to get your attention on the dance floor. Classic garage sounds fuse with retro elements packing an understated punch. To finish we have ‘Agent Of The Deep’ which, as the title suggests, is a sensual soul laden trip. Begging vocals grab hold and don’t let go until this classic-meets-contemporary track is done with you.
2012 is shaping up to be Ejecas year and if he continues in this vein then we predict big things for the lad. It’s another faultless release from 2020 vision and this EP is guaranteed to slay dance floors. Expect to hear these tracks all summer long!
The ‘Life In Flux’ EP is out on 2020 Vision on 29th April.

As you’ve probably noticed by now, we can’t get enough of UK duo, Waze & Odyssey. I’ve been completely rinsing the life out of all their tracks, and this EP is no different! In fact, I’m going to make a bold statement and say I think this is their best yet?!
The release is coming out on Berlin imprint Dirt Crew, with two originals & a top mix from the mighty Detroit Swindle, whose similar blend of garage & house makes a delicious addition to the release.
The opening track All For Me is full of house energy, smooth synthesised percussion and drops into an interestingly subtle groove.
But the title track, Please Don’t Dance, is the one that gives me goosebumps all over. When I first heard it in their recent Boiler Room set, I was like, WTF is that?!?!! The monster baseline, immense vocal sample and a huge build up in the middle of the track. Hell yeah! Although it asks you not to dance, I’m pretty sure every dance-floor over the country will have to deny this request.
And the good news is, you don’t have to wait long to get your hands of this release. It drops next week exclusively at WhatPeoplePlay (April 29th), and then at Beatport on June 5th. Bring it on, it’s time to dance!

Since bursting on to the scene 5 years ago, German agency Jackmode has caused quite a stir with its forward thinking approach and ability to break a wealth of exciting talent. Artists including Adana Twins, Kruse & Nuernberg, Round Table Knights and Doctor Dru to name just some of our favourites.
In celebration of 5 great years, they have put together a 2-disc, 20-track compilation (the full list of artists & tracks are below). We’ve been listening to the snippets on soundcloud and it’s making us very exited! There are lots of great tracks, but the two stand out tracks for us are from Doctor Dru & Monte.
Label mainstay Doctor Dru‘s ‘U Don’t’ is built around a bulging bassline and a very cathy vocal…. “Shake that thing in the house”!! The old-school ethos comes to the fore with Monte‘s ‘You Should Know‘. In the words of Monte himself, “Feel the summer breeze, beach, palms, girls, all in as always with an 80´s touch.”
Super excited about this one, compilation drops on 17th May. Bring it on!

Denis Yashin has put out a new EP called “Wasting Your Time”. The EP comes with a host of remixers including DJ Glen, Gabriel Boni & Marko, as part of the second release by Matter Of Fact. But the stand out track for us on the EP has to be the Rambla Boys remix. They’ve given more energy to the original whilst keeping Yeshin’s deep vocals & those delicious piano chords. Nice! Grab your copy & listen to the rest of the EP here.

Fast rising UK born, Australia based producer Lee M Kelsall brings us another fine EP in the form of “Always”. The original track is a smooth slice of nu-disco & deep house flavours. On remix duty is hot new talent, Flex Cop - taking things in a slightly deeper direction, letting the synth line drive the track forward. The other remix comes from Octochamp who deliver some serious house vibes. Are top two tracks are below & you can download the full EP for free here.
