Allen Walker - Plastic Dude

Allen Walker has been going in with the remixes over the past 12 months, but yesterday saw him drop off a 3-track EP of original material, which is nothing short of spectacular. 'Plastic Dude' fuses together elements of Nu-Disco with Deep/Groovy House, and is very reminiscent of Daft Punk's early work on 'Discovery'. Amazing piece of music.

Moodymann - Got 2 Make It

'Got 2 Make It' is my favourite track from legendary Detroit producer Moodymann's new 8-track EP, which has been released as a free download in partnership with Scion A/V. Over the past 20 years he has gained an extremely dedicated fanbase, all who have fallen in love with his unique and mutated production style - this project is another great body of work to add to his already masterful discography.

Nicholas - Love Message

Over the past 12 months Italian producer Nicholas has fast become my favourite artist in the House music scene. His ear for a classic sample, the deep grooves and funky basslines in all of his work make for the most magical listening, and this new track from his latest EP is no exception. Released on Home Taping Is Killing Music a few days ago, 'Love Message' is a must have for any music lover - if I could make music, this would be the type of music I would be making. BUY.

Legendary American producer/DJ Kenny Dope has been spoiling us this weekend - on Friday he uploaded his new 'Hip-Hop/Funk/Soul Breaks Mix', and then yesterday uploaded this 'Hip-Hop & Breaks (Basement Mix)', which is packed full of classics from start to finish.

Rocket Juice & The Moon - Dam(n) (Feat. Erykah Badu & M.anifest) x Poison (Feat. Damon Albarn)

Two of my favourite tracks from Rocket Juice & The Moon's highly anticipated self-titled debut album, which was released this week on Honest Jon's. For those that don't know, this project is  a funk super group, which formed in 2008, and consists of Damon Albarn (Guitar, Keys) of Blur & Gorillaz, Flea (Bass) of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Tony Allen (drums, percussion). Amazingly diverse and unique music - get your copy HERE.

The Thirst - There She Goes (Video)

Here is the video for the new single from London-based group The Thirst. You only need to know that they’ve already toured with The Rolling Stones & The Sex Pistols, opened up for The Libertines and shared stages with grime legends like Kano & Wiley, to understand that they've got a ridiculous amount of talent, and then some. Funky, soulful and refreshing.

Nicholas - Flow x I Want To Thank You

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Nicholas' new album 'Still Playing House', which marks the Italian producer's debut on the ever impressive 4lux. The album is packed full of fresh new tracks, and although he is primarily a House producer, it goes much deeper than that - providing the listener with a stunning musical journey which touches on Funk, Soul & Disco. Definitely my favourite Electronic album of the year so far, this guy is the sampling King - buy HERE.

Liberty Klaud - Urban 60's

'Urban 60's' is my favourite track from Liberty Claud's new album 'It's All About You T', which is forthcoming on Cold Busted and will be available on April 18th. A grumbling piece of funky Trip-Hop, from what is still my favourite instrumental label in the world. Lots more to come in 2012, but for now, enjoy this...

Maceo Plex - Frisky

YEAH BUDDY! Maceo Plex, one of my favourite producers and probably the most consistent man in House over the past 12 months, has today unveiled previews of his latest release. 'Frisky' has that unmistakable Maceo sound, which fuses together both Funk & Deep House, and will be dropping 9th April on Crosstown Rebels, with a sophmore album coming in Autumn. Amazing, simply amazing.
