My favourite out of the two tracks that feature on Mark Trophy’s latest EP, Old School House. This is exactly what we have come to expect from Trophy, blending classic house with new, updated sounds. Vocal sample is cool as fuck.

So yeah, here is the first mix to be done on the new mixer that I got for my birthday (Numark Mixtrack Pro). Granted it’s not perfect, but there is a significant improvement in the standard of mixing compared the mixes that used to be made on my laptop. This is something that I love and something that interests me massively, so I’m sure it will be taken more seriously after I’ve left Uni, but for now this is purely for fun. New year, new start and all that. Hope you enjoy it, and feedback would be massively appreciated. All about the groove baby. Tracklist after the jump and the cover is by Will Prince.

P.S. Excuse the track jumping @ 3:36 - that didn’t happen during the mix, and I can’t understand why it’s come out on the recording.
Here is the title track from John Roman’s first EP, Sing!, which was released this weekend on Idiot House Records. Heard this on his ‘Reclusion’ mix last summer, and have been looking forward to its release ever since. You can get it now on Beatport, along with a sick Acid Beats remix. Big electro/house tune.
Polish duo Catz N Dogz released their latest podcast/mix for Resident Advisor earlier today. For this very special mix they have reached right to the back of their record shelves in order to present the length of breadth of their house music interests. These are two of the most talented men in music right now. Interview and tracklist after the jump. Listen and download the podcast HERE.
What have you been up to recently?
The main thing is that we are in the middle of an album tour, playing DJ sets, playing live all over the world. We are kinda workaholics so we do everything at the same time. Right now we have couple of residences in Polish clubs and one at Berlin’s Farbferhnseher, where from time to time we invite friends to play.
We’re working on our label, Pets Recordings, (signing new artists, remixes and the new website is online now). We also want to do some videos. After the album we are already focusing on some new stuff that will come out and, of course, a lot of edits. Oh, and there will be album remixes coming out as well. (Carl Craig, Sect, Julio Bashmore.)
How and where was the mix recorded?
The mix was recorded in Ableton during our travels but we first ripped a lot of our old vinyl. Actually the biggest amount of time that we spend doing this mix was the track selection.
Can you tell us a bit more about the mix?
We wanted to do a mix that includes the whole spectrum of music that we play at parties. We play big room parties but small private venues in Berlin and in Poland as well. For us the biggest fun is to play various stuff.
How healthy would you say the electronic music scene is in Poland currently?
It’s a very difficult question… There are a lot of cool parties in various locations. If you want to party you should visit Warsaw, Poznan, Krakow and Wroclaw. Clubs have better soundsystems than a few years back and line-ups are cool. The best are festivals in the summertime: Audioriver, Opener, Boogie Brain, Tauron, Unsound and many more. We’re very happy that there are more and more new producers and the quality is OK. Some people still produce only for their friends and they don’t want to release it because they are too shy. This is one of the reasons why we started Pets.
Your recent album featured a dubstep track in “Only for The Moment”: is this a genre you will look to explore more thoroughly in the future?
We are working right now on a new project but we can’t say anything more because we don’t know exactly what it is until it’s finished. [laughs]
What are you up to next?
Increasing workoholizm.

13 years after being released, Nacey has put his own twist on one of OutKast’s all-time classics, Spottieottiedopalicious. This is one of the best remixes I’ve heard for a very long time. Funky as fuck.
“Now, who else wanna fuck with Hollywood Cole?”
Steve Aoki and Sidney Samson are mad enough as it is, so when you give Mustard Pimp their new single to remix, you get lots of crazy noises and one ridiculously thumping bassline. Not my favourite release in the world, but still pretty nice.
French Producer/DJ Jean Nipon dives into tech-house territory with the release of his latest EP ‘International Meek’, which drops tomorrow on Institubes. Sick video, and one hell of a tune. Oh, and here is the free download.
Warsaw based duo Pol_On close out the year by showing us how to use Loleatta Holloway’s vocals properly. Yes boys, this is a dream.
A snippet was released a couple of weeks ago, but now you can hear the full version of Duck Sauce’s take on Chromeo’s extremely funky single, Hot Mess. Pretty sure this is the first time A-Trak has remixed his brother? Anyway, it’s safe to say that the Macklovitch’s smashed it.
