Help me to help you!






It's starting to get quite difficult to put posts together, not because i don't have exciting tracks to showcase, but because i have no feedback on which to structure my posts! So can we please get some feedback going - you can either rate my posts, write me something in the 'Shoutbox,' get involved with polls or (ideally) write comments at the base of posts - it makes my life easier, and it will make the site much more rewarding for you, plus i would be very grateful!

Now to spread the love....

Fantastic Tech-House released in 2009 on Einmusiks' label 'Einmusika,' - a dreamy journey of undulating chords and sharp synth stabs -  its uber groove! Pick it up here

The album 'The Night' was released in 2009 on the digital label 'Proton' - it came with a couple of sweet remixes - however the highlight for me is this cool little number. The 'Add2Basket Remix' retains the funk of the original, but i like the minimal feel more, distinctive synths, fantastic sine melody and a muted bass-line - really great!

'Fasano' is taken from the best album 2010 has seen thus far 'Standing on Top of Utopia'- Kasper Bjorke. I love the brooding, deep, throbbing synthesizer, its the perfect building tool for the start of a bass-bin smashing set- get it here

Michael Woods rips Deadmau5's 'Strobe' apart, plasters on some sparkly synths, sprinkles in some bigger drums and create this really tight piece of Techno... loved the original, really love this!

Its 'BPitch Control' so you know its good, i love the Oompa band vibe of this track - the Heartthrob Remix is six minutes of gently progressing experimental sounds interspersed with echoed chopped up vocals and brief bursts of softly spoken lyrics, top notch production chosen by Ellen Allien as one of the tracks for her (slightly disappointing) DJ Mix 'Watergate 05' - get the full track here
