New Tracks for April and Heavy Rotation Track List

Well well well, apologies for no posts for weeks, but enough of that onto the tunes......It has been a bit quiet after the rush of WMC samplers coming at us, now that's over time to pick up on everything else. First up is Anto Vitale & Tamara Wellons with "Broken Wings" which comes with splendid mixes from the ever reliable Ian Friday....also worth checking is Dalminjo & Lenny Hamilton's "Nothing Can Seperate" on Papa Records. This originally showed up on the Papa Records WMC sampler but now comes with excellent remixes from Distant Music's Jon Cutler and he doesn't disappoint.....Another corker which apparently picked up a lot of plays in Miami is new kids on the block Nathan Adams & Zepherin Saint and their debut on Tribe Records called "Circles". Anice blend of tribal/percussive beats with a sweet soulful vocal reminiscent of Black Coffee. Don't sleep on this!!! Next those lovely people at Sole Channel have turned out another corker in the shape of Kaje featuring Sascha Williams entitled "Butterflies"....on remix duty are Mr.V, Guy Robin and Opolopo with my pick going to Guy Robin this time.....also watch out for a forthcoming Ron Hall & Thommy Davis collaboration on Defected called "Funky Casanova"......it's showed up on Defected's Miami 2009 comp but no official release yet but definitely deserves it.....more mixes of DJ Meme's "Any Love" are out and come courtesy of Jamie Lewis and Dimitri From Paris who really turns it out.....Another hot release on GoGo thsi month with Ralf Gum remixing Andy Compton's "Above The Sky" a more sedate affair than normal but nice and groovy none the less and will appeal to the more souflul taste makers around.....a real treat that's doing the rounds is a nice remix of Atlantic Starr's "Send For Me" by Master Kev and Tony Loreto which will appeal to fans of Quentin & Timmy's Shelter Mixes. Going under the name Atlantic Circle check it out before it disappears.....also whilst talking remixes/re-edits don't miss DJ Harvey's Black Cock Edits which are current circulating on reissues, my pick being his edit of Archie Bell & The Drells "No Way Back" a sure-fire floor filler if you're in the disco mood.......

Anyway here's what is floating my boat right now

Heavy Rotation 10

1. Under My Skin (MF Rebirth Mix) - Heather Johnson - King Street
2. Above The Sky (Ralf Gum Mix) - Andy Compton & Kafele - GoGo
3. Circles - Nathan Adams & Zepherin Saint - Tribe
4. Feels Good Just To Feel - Lil Louis - Lil Louis Painting
5. The Night - Lovebirds - Winding Road
6. Send For Me - Atlantic Circle - MKTL
7. Who You Wanna Be (Ananda Project Mix) - Kevin Bryant - Launch
8. Home To You (Quentin Harris Mix) - Tortured Soul - TSTR
9. Funky Casanova - Ron Hall & Thommy Davis - Defected
10. Broken Wings (Tea Party Vocal) - Anto Vitale & Tamara Wellons - Tea Party

so that's it at the mo....

Back already but there is plenty to talk about already.....Miami seems to be going off with a bang and early reports are suggesting the biggest WMC yet....will try to get there next year....anyway onto the latest tunes.....first up is Defected's Miami Sampler and you have to check out a top cover version of Prince's "When Doves Cry" by top French House producer/remixer Yass. On first consideration I was expecting the worst but to my surprise is very good and comes with a mix from the Muthafunkaz who seem to be very busy and in demand at present.....Also on the sampler is deep little number from Jovonn called "Elements", another Yass production called "I Won't" plus tracks from Baggi Begovic and Julien Jabre.....next up is some top new remixes of Ethan White & Lisa Shaw's "Find A Way" coming from Jon Cutler and Shur I Kan with my faves being Jon Cutler's....he takes it a bit deeper and just oozes class....top new release for me this week has to be the eagerly anticipated Lil Louis long player "Two Sides To Every Story" that clocks in at 18 tracks....the first eight are 4 to the floor, sexy, jazzy house that is expected from him and he doesn't disappoint....the second half is R&B so takes it from the dancefloor to the bedroom......a real stand-out for me is "Love Is....Afraid Of The Dark" but I'm sure after more listens I'll be dropping more tracks off it.....lastly another newie that seems to be getting some attention is Lady Alma's latest "Running For Nothing" which comes with excellent mixes from Universal Sun and Simbad.....that's it for now, and remember House Music Will Never Die!!!
