AZ & TOR - Resend (Polkadot Remix)

MadTech Records, one of the most exciting labels around right now, recently put out AZ & TOR's "Resend" as a free download, which has been given a thorough going over by 18 year old producer Polkadot, turning it into an even groovier house viber that got its first radio play courtesy of Mistajam a few days ago. Got a feeling this year is going to be big for this guy, everything he's putting out right now is pure gold.

Disclosure - Infected x White Noise (feat. AlunaGeorge)

While playing at Chinese Laundry in Sydney recently, men of the moment Disclosure managed to find time to slot in their new single "White Noise", which features Aluna from AlunaGeorge on guest vocals. More recently though, they last night gave a live rendition of their track "Infected" at Radio 1's 'Future Festival', which is also forthcoming on their album which drops later this year on PMR. Both of these tracks are incredible, and show just how ridiculously talented these two lads are.

Lianne La Havas - Elusive (S-Type Remix)

Played on radio for the first time last night during Monki's In New DJs We Trust debut on Radio 1, here's the fantastic S-Type rework of Lianne La Havas' "Elusive", which is taken from her debut album Is Your Love Big Enough?. There's only a handful of producers that should be allowed to remix this girl's songs, and it would appear that the Scottish producer is now a part of that elite club.

Medrea - For Me (feat. Onza)

Bath-hailing Medrea yesterday took to his Soundcloud to upload an unfinished version of a collaboration with Onza, which takes the form of the irresistably funky "For Me". Employing some rather sexy vocals over an old-school bassline, this is yet another testament to why I've been so impressed with this kid's output as of late. Release date unknown but a properly good bit of music nonetheless.

Bailey - Until We Die

Relative newcomer Bailey comes through with a smooth house groover entitled "Until We Die", which is forthcoming on new label FhinqMusic. Those chords are lush and the vocal is to die for - release date unknown but Bailey looks like he's gonna have a good 2013 by any measure.

KillSonik - Slaughterhouse

Premiered a few days ago on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show, here's the latest effort from MTA-signed KillSonik, the vocal-led "Slaughterhouse", which is taken from their forthcoming Where The River Runs Black EP, due out next month. Production quality is spot-on as always, as the duo take this one down a more rock-infused route, with what sounds suspiciously like James from Hadouken! on lead vocals. Whoever it is, this tune is yet another great record for these guys, can't wait to see what next year has in store for them.

Skream - Groove With Me (feat. Sam Frank)

During his set in the Mixmag DJ Lab earlier on today, Skream gave us an exclusive play of a forthcoming disco tune of his, the tentatively-titled "Groove With Me", which features Sam Frank on guest vocals. I'm a big fan of this old-school sound, and it makes me very happy that Skream is bringing it back. This one's out next year at some point, shouts to Aliasizm for the rip.

Benga - Higher (feat. Marlene)

Benga's live show earlier today hit the Lowlands festival in Holland, where he treated fans to a healthy dose of energy, bass and new material, such as this new Marlene-assisted track "Higher". He played this one out in a small session he did for Channel 4 a few months ago, but here's a low-quality audio rip from this afternoon's performance... now all we've got to do is wait for the studio version which should drop as a part of his sophomore album Chapter 2 in October of this year. Two new Benga tracks in one day isn't something that happens often, so we should embrace it.

Gracias x JTT - Night Shift (DJ Kridlokk Remix)

Finnish hip-hop artist earlier this week took to YouTube to unveil some very cool Cocoa-produced visuals for the DJ Kridlokk remix of his JTT-assisted track "Night Shift". This one cuts much deeper than the original, with the haunting vocals adding a certain atmosphere that ramps this tune up another level. Only came across Gracias the other day, but with tunes like this I'm gonna be a long-time fan. Irresistably cool flow and great instrumentals are the making of a great rapper, and he's got both of those in abundance.

Sniff - Don't Cry (feat. Mistah Nerf) (Preview)

16 year-old Sydney-hailing producer Tom Budin recently announced the incarnation of his electro-house side project Sniff, and proceeded to upload a preview of "Don't Cry", the first original Sniff track to surface. It feautres Mistah Nerf, and displays a production aptitude far beyond his young years - and the pop-house drop is somewhat reminiscent of some of Madeon's work. Short preview for now, but this one's gonna be big.
