Featuring the stunning vocals of Ali Love, here is the title and my favourite track from Hot Natured's new EP, Forward Motion. This has got all the right elements to get any dancefloor shaking, mixing a deep groovy bass with foot-tappingly upbeat hi-hats. Try not to dance.
Hip-Hop/House/Soul producer DJ Spinna has teamed up with the beautiful and ridiculously talented Amanda Diva for a collaborative Summer 2-stepper, which will have you gliding away into the sunset. Available in June with a remix from the brilliant Karizma, you should definitely get yourself a copy.
Here are two tracks from a stunning new album, Charlie Hearnshaw Gets Peng! Mr. Hearnshaw is an extremely talented musician who plays the Clarinet, Basset Clarinet and Alto Sax. He studied classical clarinet, composition and conducting at Dartington College of Arts during the seventies, followed by further clarinet studies in Paris before going on to work with many top jazz musicians from the UK and abroad including Don Weller, Pete Jacobson, Andy Sheppard, Kathy Stobart, Alan Barnes and the late great Slim Gaillard. This new release is a mixture of Jazz and House, creating the most perfect album for summer, and beyond. Who needs vocals when you have instruments that make sounds like this? Timeless music that I will still be listening to in 30/40/50 years time.
Everything I love about House music in one mix. Summer-ey vibes left, right & centre - some old tracks, some new. Download/listen below and the tracklist is after the jump. Rip it to a CD to give your Nan for her BBQ, or whatever else you would like do it with it. Enjoy. Happy Easter.
P.S. I’ve been on that beach.

Here is a new mix from DJ/promoter Marc Roberts; the mix has an eclectic track selection which sees him utilising the very best in Electronic music right now, ranging from House, to Dubstep, to Fidget, and much more. A great 60 minutes of free music. You can listen/download below and find Marc on Twitter HERE.
Here is the latest single from Swedish House Mafia, featuring vocals from John Martin. Enjoy this while you can before it gets absolutely rinsed this Summer.
Here is a little something from Reel People’s new album, Golden Lady. The album premieres exclusive new Reel People songs whilst collecting earlier outings from the outfit and a wide sweep of material by artists signed to its Reel People Music imprint – a sister stable to the highly regarded Papa Records. All 10 songs are a must have, but this joint from BSTC & JL is my favourite. Funky as hell.
An all-time classic turned into a groovy house track, courtesy of one of my favourite production duos, Homework. This is available on the Snatch! birthday bash EP that was released last week. Get your copy HERE.
My two favourite tracks from Dutch duo Mason’s debut LP, They Are Amongst Us. The first features UK rapper Sway going in over an incredibly funky rhythm and the second sees the legendary Kurtis Blow being his usual brilliant self. This is infectious pop dance mixed with a bit of disco and is one of the most enjoyable albums I’ve listened to this year. Fun, fun, fun.
We’re in April, the sun is shining and Summer is well on its way, so I decided to do a mix that will lead us perfectly into the Summer months. These are the tracks that I have been listening to on repeat for the past few weeks and they have come together to make (what I believe to be) my best mix to date - soothing vocals and funky basslines left, right & centre. Download link is on the soundcloud player and the tracklist is after the jump. Feel free to spread the word and post wherever you like. There will be lots more mixes to come over Summer, I promise.
