Released by Unknown Records on 15th Mar 2019 this is a real dance floor filler. A driving beat & crisp euphoric elements the track retracts into a deep and enchanting break before rolling back into its groove.
Pantheon and Horowitz remix with an acid twist. New keys and synths precisely placed make this remake true to its origins yet unique in its underground appeal.
We played both tracks in our mix in the 1st hr of show #212.
From the EP "Out of Orbit' by Locked Groove, released by Hotflush Recordings on 1st Mar 2019.
This track settles into its groove from the off with a catchy bassline, glistening build ups and classic rave melodies, The track is a nod to the beloved Antwerp record store and it spirals through a relentless rhythmic motif, employing sounds of the 90s Belgian underground scene with a hybrid approach.
We played this in our mix in the 1st hr of show #212.
From the charity compilation LP 'Fall On Me' released by DeepDownDirty.
This is an astounding track. A gorgeous piano riff and a retro vocal sample of the track's title create a rhythmic and melodic vibe that is both satisfying and unsettling. The soundscapes sound like something you have heard before, yet at the same time they are totally unique.
We played this in our mix in the 1st hr of #211.
All proceeds go to the childrens' charity Last Night A DJ Saved My Life.
Opening with a driving dance floor beat which leads to a swirling sfx in the breakdown, filtered drums emerging from the shadows with a low down, dirty bass and the dance beat returning with a Detroit influenced synth riff. This is a blistering track from Connor Vibes. He wrote it after visiting Berlin at New Year 2019 and it is a stunning single.
We played it in the first hour of show #205.

Inspired by the original sound track from the David Freyne film 'The Cured,' a cutting synth riff leads to a beautiful orchestral breakdown from the movie soundtrack until the synth riff re-asserts its dominance. This is a superbly constructed and arranged track and it is on free download via the link below.

Driving rhythms, pounding percussion and vocal samples power this astounding slice of techno by German DJ / Producer Valentin Marx. Acid synths riff out into the first breakdown while the female vocal sample declares that 'you drive me crazy.' The infectious beat is sure to keep the dance floor pumping while the acid synths are joined by nicely counterpointed rhythms in the second breakdown which take the track to its conclusion. We played it in the first hour of show #203.
A dark, rolling beat, a synth so sharp it cuts like a knife and a vocal warning all combine for a truly outstanding and effective track. TechSpace has already crafted a unique sound for his productions and he exhibits it perfectly on this single. We played it in the first hour of show #200.

A deceptively simple synth riff, a dirty underlying sub bass, crazy sfx and just as it's all about to tip over into chaos, a filter on the sub bass calms thinks down and restores some order. That is until a semaphore message in the high notes kicks things off again. This is a sensational track. It is beautifully produced and a truly original sound. We played it in the first hour of show #200. Listen to 'Obligated Choice' by Pitchy on SOUNDCLOUD

Short synth notes hover over distorted sound effects. A dirty buzzsaw riff ushers in the kick drum and the track explodes into a relentless, dark fury that it sustains over its entire 5 minutes.
There are some great synth sounds here and whilst there is a lot going on and at times the track is in danger of toppling over under the weight of all its musical ideas. But its sheer energy keeps it going. This is raw and unfinished. And it's great
We played it in the first hour of show #195
