Heavy Heavy 15!!

I have been up to my eyes in it as they say lately and so have neglected my responsibilities once again.....But the upside is that there is plenty of good stuff flying about and due out very soon.....Kicking things off Strictly Rhythm/Defected are busy churning out quality product as always....First cab off the ranks that is no doubt going down a storm on the white isle is "La Mezcla" by Michael Cleis which I have been advised uses a vocal refrain taken from a traditional Bolivian folk song. Combined with a catchy flute and some rumbling congas and string it out for 12 minutes and you have a sure fire dancfloor hit!....Another fresh release from Defected is from top French DJ/producer Yass who has teamed up once again with LT Brooks for "No Lies".....Also on it's way from Strictly are new remixes of the Sir James classic "You're Special" so hoping there will be some goodies amongst the expected package.....Also worth a look is the Andy Daniel track "Whatever" which uses a sample from Jimmy Bo Horne's "Spank" effectively and comes with a mix from DJ Spen.....Talking of Baltimore's finest the Muthafunkaz have turned out a wicked mix of Mishal Moore's "Oh Lord" which is a very catchy gospel track which I'm really digging at the moment.....The SoulHeaven camp have put 2 excellent releases in the last few weeks my pic going to Andy Ward's debut for the label entitled "Streets Of The Sun" which also comes with a mix from DeepCitySoul but in my opinion you really don't need to look past the Heavyweight Mix which utilises the drum programming talents of Phil Asher.....The other release "Desire" (which is equally as good although is much more of a sleeper) comes from Bopstar and features the vocal talents of Zara McFarlane and mixes from new boy Jose Carretas....Jellybean Soul continue their ability to continuously offer top quality product and offer 2 new releases for June/July the first is the 3 Amigo's second EP which includes a handly tool called "Old Testament" and is rather reminiscint of a classic NY bootleg from the 70s.....Also from Jellybean Soul is a slinky soulful number from dunnEasy with the mighty Kenny Bobien on vocal duties. Both Jovonn and Alex Dimitri offer up mixes but Ed Dunn and Ethan White's mixes are just to good to get past "Summer Nights" will be getting spins at the more soulful nights globally.....A major favourite of mine over the past month has to be from Deep Haven Music whose output never seems to disappoint. DJ Man-X teams up with Sterling Ensemble and the legendary Blaze whose Kevin Hodge provides the vocal and a nice remix, but the DJ Man X has to be the one....Bound to go down as one of the best of the year in my opinion......Lastly I have to mention Vega Records who also seem to have a never ending supply of top notch product for us.....First off Louie Vega himself drops the bomb that is "London Roots" which has a wicked half-sung/half-spoken vocal from Johnny Dangerous...If that's not enough another Louie Vega produced track called "Take You Away" credited to the DJN Project which recalls late 90's MAW output is really doing it for me....but lucky last has to go to the legendary Pal Joey who graces us for the first time in years with a deep and sexy number, and in French called "Encore".....phew I'm sure I've missed other stuff but I seem to be spoilt for choice at present......Anyway here's my current Heavy 15 which are on regular rotation......
