DJ Hazard - Bricks Don't Roll


Next up is a naughty little tune from DJ Hazard which will be recurring in your head all day from the first listen. Came across this banger at Boomtown (a festival I highly recommend, probably the best I've been to) - heard this tune get dropped in a couple sets over the weekend and had everybody going in, I wasn't aware of the track at the time but came back home to find it was Friction's Fire track of the week on Radio 1. If you circulate the rave scene, expect to hear a lot more of this.
'Bricks Don't Roll' EP is available August 25th via. Playaz; purchase here.

Jess Glynne - Right Here (TC Remix)



TC on the remix duties for Jess Glynne's latest smash hit single 'Right Here'.
A simplistic but every bit effective approach; keeping the hook of the original in tact, but reinforcing it with a heavy, rolling bassline, TC brings out the darker side to Jess Glynne's tune.


Free download.

Rockwell - INeedU / 1_2_3_4

I'm aware these tunes have made the rounds now and most people who keep focus on the DnB scene or have gone raves over the past couple months have probably heard Rockwell's most recent double-release on Shogun. 
Despite INeedU and 1234 sounding nothing like each other, they have received equally mixed reviews namely because of how different they sound, especially coming from a DnB and Shogun veteran.
I for one though like the release, and have expressed my support of experimental music coming off drum labels, it's good to see versatility and the ability for producers to stretch the genre in new ways - also i've heard 1234 get dropped in a couple sets and it makes me get a bit silly really.
Out now via. Shogun Audio - purchase here.

Redlight - Cure Me (DJ Die Remix)

As of late my summer has been picking up momentum, I've been making a lot more plans and heading out to a lot more events/festivals since returning to London and ultimately the frequency of blog posts has taken its toll. The summer isn't over yet so I can't promise this won't carry on, but to make up for this i'm trying to do a resurgence of tunes to make up for the long, awkward gaps.
Kicking off with this tasty little remix from DJ Die of Redlight's hit 'Cure Me' - wasn't a huge fan of the original but this reinterpretation does the trick for me, a sultry intro cut short by a barrage of jungle breaks all kept infused with the soft melody of the tune. Blisstening.
Released on the 'Cure Me' official remix EP; purchase here.

BCee - Hold On (Dexcell Remix)

Really looking forward to the full release of this track - taken from BCee's 'Lost & Found' Remix EP which sees the likes of Dexcell, Hybrid Minds and Calibre take remixing duties on some original BCee tracks for Spearhead Records. This remix of 'Hold On' from Dexcell got my attention straight away, absolutely gorgeous listening; i'll let the music do the talking.

The remix EP is available to pre-order now via Spearhead HERE

Logistics - As Sure As Sunrise

After having spent the last 2 years collaborating with sibling Nu:Tone in their Nu:Logic project, Logistics returns to solo producing with his latest LP 'Polyphony' on Hospital Records. A reminder to those who had forgotten about the Logistics luscious production style.
Although its a new release I'm willing to say this is potentially one of my all-time favourites from Logistics; every track is soulful and uplifting, smooth and fluid - exactly the kind of release any drum fan could ask for around this time of year. The whole release is an essential but the opening track was a real stand-alone one for me; 'As Sure As Sunrise' feat. Hugh Hardie sets the tone for the whole LP and says it all, this music ticks all my boxes.
