JAY WEST
HEAR TO STAY
(DROP MUSIC) 12 - 102069
A delicious trio
of tunes is the best way to describe the newest from Pablo Sabetta, a.k.a. Jay
West. 'Headz On Fire' is bright, bouncy and cheeky as a voice awaringly
proclaims, 'There's a lot of funky s*** going on.' "The Problem" sets
the tone with moody keys that play off a sliding bass and has been killing it
for the Inland Knights for some time now. Rounding off this winner is
"Hold Ya" a funky and unfussy production.(DRM051)HOUSE- 3/05/07-

SYNTAX EXCLUSIVE!
We've been waiting for the follow up to "Uprock 3000" volume 2 for
nearly 4 years. we can say that it was well worth it, you know all those
cliche's quality above quantity and all that. Well it holds true here with
Fries & Bridges delivering the fucking bombs!(ROBSOUL54)HOUSE- 3/01/07-FR
MIGUEL
MIGS
MESMERIZED
*SHUR I
It's been quite
some time since we've seen a Miguel Migs release on NRK but good things come to
those who wait. "Mesmerized" is quite simply one of the best things
Miguel has touched ever. It harks back to the early sound of Naked Music, deep
musical and with a sultry vocal to DIE for. Freerange's Shur I Kan provides
three sexy mixes on this platter as well from his banging dancefloor dub
to his equally sexy and soulful "Guilty Pleasures" vocal this package
is TIGHT!(NRK129)HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK

SCUM *K MENACE* (DFA) 12 - 101600
BIGGER AND BADDER
than "Losing My Edge" catchier than Rapture's "House Of Jealous
Lovers" and quite possibly the biggest offering on the DFA imprint so far.
This reminds us of a more dance oriented White Stripes. Remixes come from Kris
Menace who takes the track deep into "Discopolis" epic italo disco
land and James Murphy & Eric Broucek who provide an off the wall mix that fits
in with recent Kitsune gear.(DFAEMI2165)PUNK/FUNK/DISCO- 3/05/07-UK
ROBERT
OWENS & RON TRENT
MOVIN ON (NEED
2 SOUL) 12 - 102153

beautiful piano chords and a brilliant vocal performance from the voice of
house music, Robert Owens. An equally magnificent dub is
included.(N2S003)HOUSE- 3/05/07-

WHAT *MATTHEW
STYLES* (DISCO 45) 12 - 102269
Rob Mello's Disco
45 imprint comes back with another corker, this time courtesy of
Classic/Doubledown/Paranoid artist Lil Mark. 'What?' is an absolute handful of
a tune, packing jackstastic beats that will have you singing the praises of
Chicago along with elements of fidget house, techno and house that've been
garnering support from the likes of Mark Farina {signed to Mark's latest
Ministry Of Sound Sessions album} and Derrick Carter. Crosstown Rebels own
Matthew Styles drops a sizzling remix on the flip that adds an entirely fresh
dimension to the tune that we are liking alot.(DISCO003)HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK

BIG BUZZ on this
newest Justice release. This will be a one off pressing of 1000 copies so once
they're gone thats it! Pure rave energy on this bad ass Daft Punk flavored bomb
with aggressive choppy guitar bits & synths, drums as hard as nails and as

INNERVISIONS
SECRET WEAPONS
PT 1 (INNERVISIONS) 12 - 101877
Innervision always
has an ear for what's going on and has collected four overlooked tunes for this
incredible four track sampler. First up is Mark Broom & Chris Baker's
(under the Kingpin Cartel guise) "Ghetto". This track would have
slipped through the cracks if not come upon by the keen ears of the IV crew.
Deep and soulful and uplifting with a beefy bassline, soaring strings and an
Underground Resistance meets Akabu feel. Next up Aji drops "Zagora"
which sounds like Main Street / Rhythm & Sound material with a more percussive
edge. On the flip Mark August provides "Warm" a deeply hypnotic and
soulful number perfect for the Ame fans out there and finishing things off in
fine style are Fish Go Deep with "ESL" a beautiful retro flavored
number for the Kerri Chandler fans out there.(IV10)HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
FRANCK
ROGER
AFEFE (REAL
TONE CUTS) 12 - 102209
Naughty business
here from Franck Roger who delivers two reworkings of a track we're pretty sure
originally came from Afefe Iku. Francks mixes, a vocal and a dub are deep
soulful electronic rubs fitting very much into the Ame / Dennis Ferrer side of
things.(RTC005)HOUSE- 3/05/07-FR
ROGER
FRANCK FT TOMELO
FREE FOR ALL
(REAL TONE) 12 - 101555
Deep house master
Franck Roger is back with a vocal house anthem featuring the sultry vocals of
Tomelo. "Free For All" has deep laid back beats with breaky snares
that give the drums great shuffle while Tomelo's vocals draw you into the
beautiful melodies which include a smooth harp stroke and warm chords. A dope
instrumental follows this. On the flip Jolene provides the sexy vocals on
"Salsa Moves You", another slick deep house vocal. The instrumental
on this is equally amazing.(RTR019)HOUSE- 2/12/07-FR
MR G
RE KIDZ
(PHEONIX G) 12 - 102302
Following the
stunning release on Radioslave's Rekids imprint Mr McBean returns home to his
Pheonix G label, dropping 3 incredibly hot cuts here that are essential for
fans of the dark, wonky tech house sound of now. Heavily caned by Radio Slave,
Trevor Loveys, Jesse Rose and Claude Von Stroke.(PG30)TECH HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
EBE
GROUNDED EP
(PLASTIC CITY) 12 - 97730
Time for a little
U.S. action on the famed Plastic City imprint courtesy of EBE aka Cali producer
Lucas Rodenbush, who's been doing it well for over 10 years now on labels like
Grayhound, Solid Grooves and Soma. Led by the a-side track 'Votion' and its
soulful vocal snippets, deep piano stabs and ultra-phat dub bass lines, the
'Grounded EP' captures that timeless Plastic City sound while adding some fresh
and new twists along the way. A true must-have!(PLAX053)TECH HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
JESSE
GARCIA
OFF DA HOOK
*FUNKERMAN* (STEALTH) 12 - 101783
Jesse follows up
'Lets Get Happy' for the S-Man with these two new peak-time housers here on
Stealth. 'Off Da Hook' and 'Survive' both blend tribal elements, dark bass and
Latin-inspired funk definitely built to dominate today's floors. Funkerman's
remix adds that trademark chunky Dutch funk into the equation.
Hot.(STEALTH42)HOUSE-3/05/07-UK
BOB
SINCLAR
TENNESSEE
*HENRIK B* (LEGATO) 12 - 102105
Two exclusive
remixes of 'Tennessee'. A-side: Soul Conspiracy's remix is a funky house remix
with that nice Amsterdam / Work vibe with dope synth grooves, jacking Mousse T
flavored beats and pure peak time power. Henrik B's mix is a super deep Detroit
flavored mix that has a wicked slow building Ame vibe.(LGT5115)HOUSE-

BUSY P
RAINBOW MAN
*WHITE VINYL* (ED BANGERS) 12 - 102108
PRESSED ON LIMITED
WHITE VINYL! Ed Bangers is the SHIT! Here again they prove the can weed through
the mass of crap cuts and come up with some nasty rocking dancefloor bombs.
Busy P drops an ode to his favorite (and certainly one of our here) clubs in
NYC, APT with "Rainbow Man". It's as sweaty and rocking as the
downstairs is at APT on any given night. Next up "Chop Suey" is a
blazing slab of ghetto electro cut up French stylee, like Dj Funk or Dj Assault
collaborating with Akufen or Ark. Bad ass shit. Last up is Busy P's remix of
Fancy's "What's Your Name Again" which Sebastian has been devistating
floors for months with now! Another killer on this bad ass
imprint!(ED014)HOUSE- 3/05/07-FR

Limited promo
copies of Positiva!! Therese is the vocalist behind Stonebridge's club classic
'Put'em High' and posesses a voice like no other. Here we get two energetic,
uptempo club mixes from Digital Dogs, with the a-side riding a full vocal over
massive clubby beats and riding synth lines while the flipside has a dubbier
electro-splashed vibe.(12THERE1)FUNKY HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK
FUNKAGENDA
SAN FRANCISCO
*D SPOON/SHAFUNK (TOOLROOM TRAX) 12 - 102268
Funkagenda
delivers a slice of bleepin', funkin' electronic house pressure entitled 'San
Francisco' that will certainly blow your mind!! Rude analogue stabs and punchy
drums turn the original into a proper little dancefloor burner while the
remixes from Dave Spoon and Shafunkers will really pour gasoline onto the
fire!(TRT25)ELECTRO HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK
HARALD
BJORK
BRUS (TRAUM) 12
- 102272
Well, heres a
crazy one! Swedish artist Harald Bjork releases one for Traum thats got one of
the more interesting openings to a track we have heard in a while, focusing on
no-tradional 4/4 rhythms. Half way through, things get back to normal though
and the full focus of the track pulls forward. Lots of analog synthn going on,
ala Nathan Fake/Border Community type sounds. Very lush, and very lethal to
packed house. The vibe on the flip stays similar, but a bit on the funky side.
A very prominant bassline rounds it out for one of the better releases on Traum
in quite some time. And that is saying something.(TRAUMV83)MINIMAL HOUSE-

JORG
BURGER
POLYFORM 1 (K2)
12 - 102273
Jorg Burger (half
of the classic duo of Burger/Ink) comes off hiatus and brings a 12" that
is unmistakeably him. Mr Burger is partly responsible for developing the
"Kompakt Sound" as we know it, and this 12" fully represents
that. The A-side is punchy, and the flip is deep. This one is a no
brainer.(K223)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
RADIOCLIT

*SOLID GROOVE/SIN (COUNTERFEET) 12 - 99813
Switch's Dave
Taylor presents the brand new sublabel to his immense Dubsided imprint, kicking
it into the stratosphere with this Eurocrunk anthem featuring French rap group
TTC, Brasil's finest Donde De Role plus a scorching, we mean SCORCHING remix
from Solid Groove and Sinden that is about to rewrite all the rules- bad ass
shit!!(COUNT002)TECH HOUSE-12/11/06-UK

GROVE *KIKI* (AUDIO INVADERS) 12 - 101665
Canadian
uber-producer Jesse Somfay delivers the inaugural release on the Audio Invaders
imprint, a mighty Border Community-inspired tech groover entitled 'Jewelsweet
Grove'. This track blends deep bass stabs that follow emotional chord positions
before getting tweaked like crazy at the buildup. Bpitch Control's Kiki steps
up with a massive reworking that again is all about the melancholy feelings and
twisted sounds.(AI001)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE

DC Recordings
presents the fifth part of the highly collectable 'Vertical Tones And
Horizontal Noise' 12' series from Andy Meecham's Emperor Machine, two tracks of
pulsing analog electro disco from the man also known as one half of Big Two
Hundred and Chicken Lips. 'Labocatocs' is a previously unreleased track
bubbling with synth arpeggios and underpinned by a furious punk funk rhythm.
'Rimramramrim' is an extended version of the CD only album track, a disco
workout fused with bursts of delay drenched guitar and spiralling analogue melodies.(DCR77)HOUSE-

the Emperor Machine at the peak of his powers, fusing kraut rock and disco
rhythms with torrents of analogue synth. DC's most recent signing Vincent
Markowski reworks Part 5's 'Labocatocs' into a brooding electro
epic...(DCR78)ELECTRO DISCO- 3/05/07-UK
ALEXI

WHAT IS CONTROL

Our good friend
Alexi Delano is one funky mother for sure. His tracks are as diverse as the
labels they appear on from Dessous, Missile, Hybrid, Turbo, Earthtones, Svek,
Plastic City and Wave to name just a few. Here for Audiomatique, Mr Delano
provides a deep bumping acidic number similar in style to his "Acid
Sessions" on his own AD Limited imprint with more of a Get Physical tilt.
On the flip Alexi gets even deeper and darker on "Not My Enemy" a
sparse mind boggling acid bomb currently getting run from James Holden and
Radio Slave.(AM21)HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
GLIMMERS
KOBES IN
COLUMBIA *OPTIMO* (DISKIMO) 12 - 102103
Fifth installment
on the Glimmers Diskimo imprint featuring Optimo joining in on the B. The A
side's "Kobe's In Columbia" has a wicked Idjut Boys meets Kenny Dope
feel sounding like Dope's "Brazilica" fused with the twisted dub
disco vibe of "Whok Tish". On the flip "Wanna Make Out" is
a punky, dubbed up trippy house gem perfect for the Eskimo lovers in the
house.(DISKO6004)HOUSE- 3/05/07-BE

SIARRE *REEL
PEOPLE* (PANTONE) 12 - 102152
Founded by
Masanori Morita and Noboru Abe, Studio Apartment bridges the gap between the
musical metropolises of New York, Tokyo and London. You've seen their work on
King Street and as a matter of fact their last single "Flight" was a
worldwide smash appearing on Danny Krivit's "In The House" and Blaze
and Masters At Work's "Soul Heaven". Here on "Siarre" they
team up with Afro vocalist Latyr for a deep excursion into percussive madness
while on the flip original house diva Joi Cardwell stands up for a solid slice
of souful house with a little help from Londons Reel People.(PAN12008)HOUSE-

New series of

B.(DAMN1)DISCO- 3/05/07-NL
EACH
SUNRISE
*MINILOGUE* (OUT OF ORBIT) 12 - 102232
Out Of Orbit takes
their sound back into the premier leagues with this stunning release. Each
delivers a moody, dub meets electro house influenced track entitled sunrise
that will give you goosebumps thanks to some Holden-esque chord stabs, bass
subs and extended teasing breakdowns. Minilogue's remix cranks the shuffle knob
way past 10, unleashing some seriosly storming drum funk on an unsuspecting
dancefloor.(ORB025)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
NICO
PURMAN
LUNATIQUE
(CROSSTOWN REBELS) 12 - 102270
Argentinean
producer Nico Purman joins the illustrious Rebels family with this choice 3
tracker. 'Lunatique' is a stunning minimal tech jam with crisp beats,
meandering synth line and that special Latin American spice that permeates this
track. 'Calor Humano' is a touch darker, definitely the choice for your late
nite set while the final track 'Voodoo' showcases Nico's percussion programming
chops, combining layered bongos, heavy chord stabs abd deep atmospheric
chants.(CRM036)ELECTRO HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK

couple of remixes of one of the leaders in the world of minimal techno, Damian
Schwarz. Side A is from Keving Gorman, who takes Damians hyper-rhythmed
original into a deep and dubbed out floor rocking monster! On the flip, Pan Pot

work and deep and clunk rhythms.(CMYK7X)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE
EYERER

CHORIZO
(KICKBOXER) 12 - 102275
Marin Eyerer &
Toni Rios team up for a 2 tracker that is out of this world! The A side is a
minimal lovers wet dream. Lots of deep toms, and a creepy synth line that comes
up around the middle. Added synth stabs make this one all tickly when played
around 8 AM, one could only imagine. On the flip, things get deeper with more
of the same, but with some deeper synths that swirl all around til the final
result sounds like the bastard son of mid nineties Rob Hood. Highly
reccomended!(KICK014)MINIMAL HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE

THE POWER *M
DANIELS* (FAME) 12 - 102287
Massive remake of
Snap's legendary 'The Power' by German man of the moment Tom Novy here on the
Fame label. Novy's mix is a chunky Dutch style house remake with thick 4/4
breaks, slammin bassline and reworked synths over those trademark original
version hooks. Remixer Mischa Daniels adds his own special touch with an even
funkier workout over on the flip.(FAME020)ELECTRO HOUSE- 3/05/07-NL

NEWCLEUS
JAM ON IT*DJ
T/C VON STROKE* (DEEPLAY SOULTEC) 12 - 101456
Its rare enough to
find two of the biggest names in house today, DJ T and Claude Von Stroke,
remixing the same record, but factor in the fact that the tune in question is
80's electro anthem 'Jam On It' by Newcleus and you can easily see what all the
fuss is about! T is up first with a crazy electronic house relick that leaves
plenty of the original's punch and energy well in there along with his trademark
Get Physical sounds and arrangements. Then 'dirty bird' Claude Von Stroke drops
a devastating slice of electro-funk, chopped-up and freaked out stuff that will
have kids losing their shit. The flip features a pair of deeper techier mixes
from Martin Brodin that work great for the cooler rooms. BACK IN

84 SHOTS
*KOLETZKI/MEINDL* (PICKADOLL) 12 - 101609
2nd release from
Ozgur this week {the other is on Harthouse Mannheim}, serving you this awesome
slice of techno meets electro stuff, backed with a killer remix from the duo of
Oliver Koletzki and Florian Meindl. The original works some gritty analogue
Moog leads, deep haunting melodies and pad sounds riding chunky tech house
drums. Koletzki and Meindl don't mess around much with an already good thing,
instead the boys add more grit and punch to the leads and drums, with less of a
syncopated feel that the dancefloor will love.(PICK019)ELECTRO HOUSE-

CULT COPY RMXS
PT 1 *DEXTER* (RUSH HOUR LTD) 12 - 100725
Clone's Dexter
gets busy on one of the incredible tunes off of Aardvark's "Cult
Copy" album. He delivers a shaking mix that sounds like a deeper more
undulating I Cube / Chateau Flight. It actually sounds a lot like Chateau
Flight's remix of Slim "It's In The Mix" with more of a deep Chicago
house swing. HOT! On the flip is another jacking swinging remix off the
Aardvark album courtesy of 2000 and One (100% Pure) which is a wicked stripped
down mix with a gigantic sound.(RHLTD005R1)HOUSE- 3/05/07-NL
BAD
MOUTH *MAZI & CASS*
ANYMORE *LUKE
SOLOMON/PHONIQUE (FRESH MEAT) 12 - 100811
First ever
collaboration between Mazi and Cass (Of Cass & Mangan fame). The result is
a deep dubby vocal infused house gem. Cass's vocals are stacked thickly and
weave in and out of the arrangement while an emotional arpeggiated melody from
an old school ARP 2600 keeps things moving and a old school Chicago bassline
beefs things up. First up on the remix is Luke Solomon who adds his patent
jacking house swing to the mix with tougher more edgy drums and freaky use of
the original vocal. On the flip you'll find a remix from Phonique who provide a
huge overhaul that is still soulful while adding a hot electronic electro-ey
edge to the track.(FMR06)HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE

Tre in it's
original form sounds like it belongs on the Major Swellings album from Prins
Thomas. It's a deeply hypnotic disco journey through effected soundscapes, deep
plodding beats with the most captivating guitar licks that will keep you
bobbing your stoned head and shaking your booty from beginning to end. Pier
Bucci chimes in with a remix that adds some chunk and swings to the drums while
funking things up with bleepy synth funk and glitchyness.(LLQR005)HOUSE-

SASSE
GRAVITY *NICK
CHACONA* (MOOD MUSIC) 12 - 102160
Must have remixes
of "Gravity" taken from Sasse's recent "Made Within The Upper
Stairs of Heaven" album. First up is Peter Dildo (Trackdown) who stuns us on
his mix, a deep house meets postminimal bomb featuring a slamming arrangement
of fine tuned swinging beats, hypnotic effects and funky synth stabs. This is a
fucking dope remix. Next up Bearfunk's Nick Chacona teams up with Anthony
Mansfield (Rong/Hector Works) and go the cosmic disco route.(MOOD049)HOUSE-

WILL
SAUL & TAM COOPER
SEQUENTIAL
CIRCUITS *K BLACK* (SIMPLE) 12 - 102165
Will Saul &
Tam Cooper team up for an excellent deep house outing on Simple records. This
is the first time the 2 have released together, and we hope it's not the last,
as this one is well deserving of attention. The drums are slightly techy, but
the chords are pure house. Almost sounding like old Global Communication
ambient stuff laid over the top of some older Josh Wink type stuff. Very much
on the lighter side of house music. So, its only fitting to get the remix on
the flip to be on the darker side, right? So, they enlisted Wagon Repair and
M_nus big-shot Konrad Black to take it into no mans land. The 808 is on point,
and the 101 is in full effect. Kinda remeniscent of his first EP for Wagon
Repair, and we all remember just how sweet THAT was!(SIMPLE0722)HOUSE-

BELIEVERS
YOULL NEVER
CHANGE *SEAMAN* (FALCO) 12 - 102210
HUGE package here
from the Believers with Chelonis R. Jones on vocals and mixes coming from Dave
Seaman and Oliver Koletzki. Dave Seaman's rub is an epic hands in the air
affair, with deep moody bass, cascading effects and an infectious vocal hook.
Oliver goes more for the electro house vibe on his mix using most of the full
vocal rinsed out over shaking synth riffs and tough funky beats. The original
mix is a pure Daft Punk uplifting anthem currently getting smashed by
Tong.(FALCO005)HOUSE- 3/05/07-FR

*PHIL ASHER* (ALTERED VIBES) 12 - 102280
Phis Asher works
his Restless Soul wonder on Lyric L's "Ooh U & I" with both a
vocal mix and a dub. Both mixes work the pads in a subterrenean way that is
reminiscent of Pepe Braddock's "Burnin" with deep effects, slick
shuffling beats and funked up bass. Dj Spinna has been all over this
one!(AVR025)HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK

Afronaut's
"Transcend Me" is an underground house classic and here receives two
fresh new makeovers from Phil Asher and IG Culture. Phil is a busy boy this
week reworking Lyric L and here this anthem. His mix is pure deep Restless
Soul, one for the headz into the likes of Blaze, Kerri Chandler, Franck Roger
etc. IG Culture's mix breaks things up a bit with nice and soulful broken
grooves. An accapella is included as well.(FONZ04)HOUSE- 3/05/07-UK

YOUR GIRL PUKES
ALL *J ROSE* (TFE) 12 - 102082
The original mix
of "Your Girl Pukes All Over The Dancefloor" is a hype little number
that sounds like Autechre, Dan Curtin and Pan Pot all mashed up into one funky
funking tune. Jesse Rose we must say destroys this track, injecting it with the
fidget power of a fire-ant infestation in your pants. His mix explodes with
Solid Groove styled beats, jerky synths and off the wall fills, drops and
demented dancefloor breakdowns.(TFE004)HOUSE- 3/01/07-FR

smash "Les Fleur", grammy award winner Jody Watley, poetess

The second part of
the "Tactile" series from Mike Shannon. "Red" features more
of Mike's kicking deep minimal funk that made his reputation what it is today.
The a side's "8Bit Rojo" is a hard and dirty groover, with straight
jacking beats, low res sound and a slick gliding bassline that pumps up the
bottom end. Mathew Jonson has been battering this bad ass tune. On the flip
"Red Tide" delves deeper and slowly builds with more low rez synth
action into a swinging after hours gem for the headz.(CYN021)HOUSE- 3/05/07-GE

Strike Boys return
with some big-time electro-punk-house bisness for the Stereo Deluxe label.
'Loss Of The Badman' sports lots of 70's punk attitude thanks to a screaming
electric guitar-sounding synth riff, fat chord stabs and irresistable rhythms.
Malente's remix is a big, bold club rocker for the main room heads.(SD141)ELECTRO

*CASSY/ARTO MWAMBE* (CARELESS) 12 - 102229
Jahcoozi with some
minimal house remixes. The first one is one the shynthy italo type kick.
Secondly, a house cut with really cool FX work and lots of clunky organic
percussion. Sounds like something along the lines of IZ & DIZ or DERRICK
CARTER. Finally, we have CASSY's remix, which is a nice ressurection of that
old Chicago jack house sound we all love so much!(LESS007)MINIMAL HOUSE-

harmonics that let your hands wave up in the air, combined with a weaving solid

JAZZ ORCHESTRA
MISTER
PRESIDENT (DO RIGHT) 7" - 102289
Since 2002, the Ottawa
based band has been keeping the classic classic sounds of raw, gritty groove
alive and well in Canada. Their style combines jazz, funk, African and Latin
music with messages touching on politics and spirituality. The blaring horns,
retro keyboards and polyrhythmic beats show the influence of James Brown,
Herbie Hancock, Fela Kuti and Tito Puente, but the sound remains refreshingly
original. Their stylistic variety is in part due to the diverse musical
backgrounds of the band┤s individual members: jazz, funk, blues, reggae,
classical, and traditional Cuban, Brazilian and West African percussion.
"Mista President" evokes not only the spirit of a certain Mr
Anikulapo-Kuti, but also a packed Shrine going nuts. ┤Insurrection┤
on the B-side is a more straight-up funk cut.(DR4503)JAZZ FUNK- 3/05/07-UK

with rugged electro flavored synths, a shaking bassline, beefy beats and great
little cowbell riff (more cowbell please!). Two more rocking French house
bangers and a reworking of the title cut also appear on this ep which has been
getting plays from the label head honcho along with Richard Grey, Sebastian Ingrosso
and Laurent Wolf.(INFLUENC12)HOUSE- 3/01/07-FR
