Only Children – Down Fever
Only good things can come from tracks like this. Great feel-good “remix” of Whithey Houston’s big hit ‘It’s Not Right But It’s Okay’. The samples are arranged in an awesome way, the bassline complements the piano stabs very well and the builds are massive.
Only Children put there song up for free on their soundcloud. Link below.

Bibi Tanga – Be Africa (Beg To Differ Mix)
Shits about to get sweaty. And why not, its Saturday night! The amazing compilation series ‘Future sounds of Jazz’ saw, since its last release 5 years ago, its 12th edition yesterday. The compilations are always a fine blend of all kinds of genres within modern electronic music and compiled very tastefully. This tune is an amazing remix of the also very contagious original by Bibi Tanga. A cool blend of African music with some uplifting burning, playful, arped Disco.

Jared & Sebastien – Ben Simalaya (Cerux & Mik Santoro Remix)
Almost a year old. From the “Afrosoup Crew vol. 5″ compilation the Afrosoup label put out today. Beautiful, crisp and great atmospheric track with a – fine as hell – subtle build in the second part.

Martin Brodin – Strings Attack
This cheeky and fun little Disco jewel was already featured on Martin Brodins own mix compilation “Swedish disco society” and got its own release with two great remixes. Esp the Ilya Santana Garden of Eden remix is really sweet.

Dzim – Run Away
Intense, dramatic, slow, arpeggiated burner with some really nice build ups. Ready to destroy!

Rotciv – Love Game
From the fine ‘Rot Edits 1′ EP. A nice feel good disco edit with some great silly sounds. The brass synth solo might be a bit too much for listening but it mos def works on the dancefloor.

Jimmy McGriff – Overweight Shark Bait
Beautiful track by multi-instrumentalist Jimmy McGriff with the great title ‘Overweight Shark Bait’. It’s got a nice mellow groove to it, and features some fine jazz-improv.

Isolée – Beau Mot Plage
This tune by German Producer Isolée is one of my favorites. Its hard to explain what happened to me when I first heard it 12 years ago. But the word ecstatic would be a ‘somewhat reasonable way to describe it. I could write an essay about how genius the production and the composition are, but i’ll let the music do the talking.
I recorded this from vinyl. Enjoy!

Duererstuben – Mach Ihn Reiner
Sickly deep and dirty compressed deep house track with an awesome sample from Al Greens fantastic tune ‘Love and Happiness’. I really enjoyed the entire EP. Go check it out!
