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.

 Metrik never fails to deliver with a new set of sounds which push drum and bass's boundaries and brings a new flavour to the genre.
Vocals from Elizabeth Troy, can't wait to hear this get dropped in some upcoming sets.

Years & Years - Take Shelter


Can't put a genre on this track, somewhere in between dancehall, synth-pop, indie, house, soul and RnB. Something it definitely is though, is addictive. Sleek smooth vocals and a summer vibesing production makes 'Take Shelter' a real power single for London-based trio and new signee's to Polydor Years & Years which promises to give them a decent boost in recognition over the summer months. 
The 'Take Shelter' EP isn't available until August 4th but available to pre-order here.

Diplo - Revolution (Danny Diggz Remix)

SUNDAY FUNDAY.
Been out of touch with anything coming out of the trap scene for awhile, having nothing caught my ears. But every so often a tune like this will come out of the woodwork and reassure my approval of the genre. 
Festival season is coming and theres nothing quite like hearing a tune like Danny Diggz's official remix of Diplo's January hit 'Revolution' get blared out of the big sound systems.
This remix is available from Diplo's 'Random White Dude Be Everywhere' deluxe collection available from July 29th and available to pre-order here now. The compilation features some of his most popular singles, exclusive remixes and a couple brand new tracks. Weather this is to your taste or not you've gotta respect Diplo's grind to become one of the top DJ's and producers on the globe right now.

T and Sugah - Green Valleys

T and Sugah, what a name.
Not heard a track quite like this, a refreshing sound to the drum scene. This track comes off Liquicity's 'Galaxy Of Dreams 2' which has a lot of great productions from the likes of Maduk, Whiney, Dexcell, Flite, Rameses B and more. A lot of the tracks which are released via Liquicity have their own staple sound which is what I like about the Liquicity branding technique. In this case, a hybrid of half-time and electro-influenced liquid drum and bass. And it works.
'Galaxy of Dreams 2' available to purchase HERE.

Chris Malinchak - Stranger (Blonde Remix)

If you haven't heard the original of Chris Malinchak's latest single 'Stranger' ft. Mikky Ekko, go give it a listen here. Definitely one of the big contenders for 2014's summer-time anthem; real catchy hook, strong vocals, a nice old-school vibe, disco beat and general Jackson 5 influence. 
Today we saw the first of the official remixes unveiled for the forthcoming single; Bristol-based house duo Blonde spin their magic on the track, vibesing the more contemporary house sound. Pointing more of a focus on the production of the track, adding some heavy piano loops to make it more of a club-ready beat. Equally as catchy as the original in a very different way, this is a prime remix for those day-time parties.
