Party Tracks of the Week!

Felon - Isla
#House #Dance

Another underground house gem. Somewhere between the blissful balearica of Tensnake and the sleek deep house of Disclosure, London DJ Felon's magnificent "Isla" lies waiting to be discovered.



Zinc - Only For Tonight (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix)
#House #Dance

Since his flawless debut record, TEED has been making a name for himself as not just an incredible songwriter and artist, but as a genius remixer. In contrast to the grimey garage of the original, TEED Takes Zinc's "Only For Tonight" and transports it from an underground club in Peckham to a beach in Ibiza.



San Cisco - Fred Astaire (Joywave Remix)
#Electro #Bass

A completely unexpected take of the chirpy Aussie-indie band's last single. Taking "Fred Astaire" from twee to tremendous, The "Tongues" electropoppers tease us with some bubbly Bondax synths before dropping in an almighty gritbomb bassline drenched in apocalyptic choirs and synths. Outstanding.

Party Tracks of the Week!

Kill Paris - Falling In Love Again (ft. Marty Rod & Alma)
#Electro #Dubstep

Future funk producer Kill Paris goes all gooey-eyed on his latest single "Falling In Love Again", with a lovesick duet no less between two sugary voiced singers. How does it pull it off? With a snarling bassline and earworm synth lead at the incredibly satisfying drop.



Drums of Death - True (ft. Yasmin)
#Garage #House

Token deep house number of the week, "True" ticks all the boxes to please your average house fun, and enough of the extra-curricular atmospheric boxes to please your more picky house fan.



TEED & Eats Everything - Lion, The Lion
#Electro #Garage #House

Two of the UK's more eccentric producers come together to make this somewhat unfriendly but thoroughly hypnotic dance track. A suitable growl of a bassline flattens all in its path, and TEED can be heard in the occasional speck of sunshine in the odd bright conga and shy synth chord.

Party Tracks of the Week! (FREE DOWNLOADS)

Jay Fay - Dibby Dibby (FREE DOWNLOAD)
#Moombahton #EDM #FreeDownload

A crazy Dillon Francis-esque earthquake of a tune, with the funkiest electronic squelch of a bassline at the drop.




Grandtheft - Hear This (feat. Deejay Theory)
#Rave #Jungle #MajorLazer

From jungle to dancehall to a misleading 90s house breakdown before all hell breaks loose in a way that would make Major Lazer proud.



A.W.E - YYY
#Dubstep #Trap #Synth

Following in the footsteps of Melodic Dubstep and Trap pioneers Rustie and TNGHT comes the most colourful and ambitious Trap-influenced act yet. "YYY" bursts with eurodance synth chords, burbling breakdown arpeggios and vangelis synth leads over a Rustie-esque rough-around-the-edges Trappy beat.

Party Tracks of the Week!


Porter Robinson & Mat Zo - Easy
#EuphoricDance #ProgressiveHouse

After Porter Robinson's almighty "Language" tore it up in 2012, I predict his glorious collaboration with Mat Zo "Easy", will do the same for 2013. Like Daft Punk's "One More Time" but with an even bigger euphoric-drop payoff. 


Chloe Howl - Rumour (Unicorn Kid Remix)
#House #Rave #Chiptune

There's no mistaking a Unicorn Kid Remix, all 90s rave beats, Inner City pianos and occasional chiptune flourishes, and his bonkers but addictive remix of Chloe Howl's "Rumour" delivers on all accounts, like a Inner City's "Good Life" played through a Game Boy soundcard.


Shift K3y - WIggle With It
#Dubstep #Trap #2Step

Shift K3y's modern take on 2 Step takes from Dubstep and Trap, making it probably the coolest music on the planet. Thunderous brass hits and shimmering whining synth take centre stage before dropping to a gritty garage bass and then to a Skrillex-esque wall of synth, before the whole thing starts again.

Party Tracks of the Week!

SpectraSoul - Away With Me (Feat. Tamara Blessa) (Kito Remix)
#Electro #Dubstep

One of the biggest tunes of the year, reviving the lagging corpse of dubstep no end, with a machine-gun synth bass and stop start beat pummelling through an earworm vocal loop. Resist at your peril.



Jakwob - Detox
#Trap #Dubstep

Branching out from ravey dubstep for a hot minute (or 3), Jakwob brings us a glorious, celebratory trap track, with a huge vocal sample and even huger beat.



Rustie - Slasherr
#Trap #Dubstep

Never one to disappoint, Rustie gives us his first taster of new material since his incredible "Glass Swords" album. Always one to surprise with his mixes, an alarmingly loud kick thuds menacingly through a pulsating razor sharp wall of brass synths.

Party Tracks of the Week!


Alison Valentine - Peanut Butter (Moon Boots Remix)
#NuDisco #Dance #FREEDOWNLOAD

An absolutely joyous synthpop/piano house hybrid from the ever reliable Moon Boots, as Alison Valentine's dreamy voice floats around the soundscape.


Savage Skulls & Douster - TRT
#Garage #Bass #House

Hints of 90s rave give way to a thunderous bassline. Savage Skulls' "Bass Kick" EP is a massive testament to modern garage and bass, and "TRT" is its old school heart.


DJ Snake - Bird Machine (feat. Alesia)
#Trap #HipHop #FREEDOWNLOAD

First heard on Flosstradamus' Banned 2 Mixtape, "Bird Machine" is hands down one of the most bizarre tracks to come out of the Trap craze, with one of the most surprising drops ever, a menacing kick chasing after eerie chopped up bird tweets, quite literally. Yet this is, somehow, ridiculously addictive.
