Super8 & Tab - L.A. (The Remixes)


Trance legend BT remixes AnjunaBeats hit track L.A. Adding a more experienced tone to the track this is certainly one to download. Also check out 18 year old producer Juventa's harder and grittier remix.



Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo - Kneadin'


Birmingham born Hannah Wants delivers yet again, with another fresh and jackin collaboration with Cause & Effects Chris Lorenzo. Her consistent yet totally unique jackin house song has had me hooked for the last 2 months so make sure you check this one out. If you haven't heard her other tracks, have a look at Hugh's post last month on her free download package. Enjoy


Nicky Romero - Symphonica ( Bare Remix )

Released 2 months ago, this track somehow slipped under my radar. A seriously hard hitting and tasty remix from Bare on Romero's hugely successful sound Symphonica.

Carnage - Ultra 2013 Aftermovie


DJ Carnage took UMF by storm when he unleashed his incredible set upon Miami. The larger than life producer has huge plans for the future as well as opinionated views surrounding trap. He has released a short aftermovie of his performance and journey around Ultra. Also check out his latest preview of his collaboration with New and Used. I think that he is one of the producers who has consistently delivered exceptional tracks in the ever changing trap genre as well as adapting to different genres.

Sander van Doorn & DubVision vs. MAKO feat. Mariana Bell - Into the Light

I posted a preview of this track last month saying i couldn't wait for the release, well it's finally here, a big room progressive banger with beautiful vocals and really uplifting synth work.

This tracks definitely worth checking out, and if you like Sander Van Doorn check out 'Ten', released at the start of last month with Mark Knight & Underworld. It really shows the vast array of genres Doorn can be successful in.

Chase & Status - Lost & Not Found feat. Louis M^ttrs [ PREVIEW ]


London Drum N Bass sensations Chase and Status are back with a bang with this newly released preview. Featuring upbeat vocal samples combined with the typical C & S drum n bass breaks this track certainly looks like it will be a hit. Known for their constant hits, the duo definitely deliver with yet another great track. Check it out 

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Taiki & NUlight

Duo from London, Taiki & NUlight have fresh sounding tunes with unique style. Check out some of there best tracks..... Possibly a potential new genre 'Carnival' but not sure if its 100% official. Haven't seen much more about it so may not be right. But... if it was to kick of, i think there's high potential that it would fit in with urban underground sector.

Bass/Jackin/Deep House Tunes Package



Some of my favorites at the moment..

Sub Focus - Tidal Wave (Calum John Remix) 


Sweet Beat - Chemistry 



Armin Van Buuren - Intense [ ALBUM RELEASE ]


Huge release. Trance legend and DJ Mag's number 1 DJ for the 5th time Armin van Buuren, perhaps the most talented producer out there releases his 5th studio album. With the official album out on the 3rd of May, you can catch an exclusive here with a download link below. This album features much more than expected in my opinion. Oozing with euphoric melodies and complex chords, listening to every single track is extremely satisfying. With the previously released ' Waiting for the Night' and ' This is what it feels like' proving to be huge hits, the rest of the album is incredible. Stand out tracks are ' Who's afraid of 138 ', ' Reprise ', ' Intense ' and his collaboration with NERVO in ' Turn This love around.'

Machines Don't Care - Feelings and Taiki & Nulight - Get Down

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts coming from me recently, things have slowed down a tad with my impending exams. Here are two tracks i'm really digging at the moment. Taiki & NUlight are a group just starting to find their sound, a sound that is fresh and innovative, a welcome break from a lot of the music that is starting to sound recycled at the moment. Machines Don't care are similarly fresh sounding, and both have a high energy bass house feel to them, These tracks are just about keeping me going until the summer! Enjoy!

I had to get this post in before Oscar and Mike, because this track is hugeee! euphoric and powerful vocals with that feel good trance sound we've come to expect from Armin.

If you've ever listened to the BBC 1 Essential Mix and heard the vocals at the beginning, you're familiar with the voice of Roland Clark.
