So, Summer is officially over, and it's now time to start the countdown to Christmas. To start that countdown, here is the first post-Summer mix from myself, which includes a few of the biggest tracks from the past couple of months alongside some new beauties I have discovered recently. The idea for the title and cover came to me the other week, and the mix itself is definitely one of my favourites to date, so I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

Following on from the launch night, Electric Brixton will be welcoming the likes of Get Physical who will be presenting their new Spectrum show which will be hosted by M.A.N.D.Y - they will be launching with Japanese Popstars, Gilles Peterson, Stanton Warriors, Kissy Sell Out, Flux Pavillion & Skism.

John Dahlback's new single, which is set to be released on September 12th. A thumping piece of Electro-House from the Swede who just keeps getting better and better.
Here is some footage from Ben Westbeech's launch party for the upcoming sophmore album, which is set to be released on September 12th. Read my review HERE - still one of the best albums of 2011.
A new track from Feed Me, which is now available on the Meowingtons Hax Tour Trax compilation. Some lovely drilling Electro-House that you can pick up HERE.
Take It Back and Watch Me Dance have been two of the most enjoyable and uplifting singles of 2011 thus far, and today the album that they both feature on has been released on Ninja Tune. Below you can hear two of my favourite tracks from Toddla's sophmore album, which shows that even though he has gone for a more House/Electronic feel on the singles, he hasn't lost that unique Dancehall sound/vibe which made people fall in love with him and Skanky Skanky back in 2009. You can buy your digital copy of Watch Me Dance for just £4.49 HERE, or alternatively get a physical copy, which comes with the brilliant tee that everyone seems to be after, (see above) HERE.
Just been sent this new video from Shir Khan & Exploited, who have dipped their toes into the world of disco edits with the launch of new label Black Jukebox, which sees contributions from label regulars Homework as well as introducing the Hamburg axis Doctor Dru & Adana Twins into the fold. Doctor Dru&Adana Twins lead the way with this slo-mo housed-up boogie-soul joint. Video is amazing, and is everything I love about House music. Smiles all round.

Hard To Find is a compilation series that was released this Monday, which has brought together some classic and lost remixes from old 12" vinyl collections and CD singles gone by, that are as the title suggests, hard to find. For anyone who grew up listening to Jeff Young’s Big Beat and Pete Tong’s Essential Selection from the late 80’s through to the 90s and beyond, or Annie Nightingale’s Sunday night request show, this album is for you. The compilation is scattered with classics that have been remixed by some absolute legends, but it was Steve Hurley's mix of one of my favourite Simply Red tracks and Norman Cook's (better known as Fatboy Slim) remix of the brilliant 'Won't Stop Loving You' by A Certain Radio that stood out for me. In a time where making old stuff cool again is the 'in thing', this is a must have for any DJ/music lover - these two remixes in particular would go down like a dream in any House set. Mick Hucknall has never sounded so good. Get your copy HERE.
