9.Jason Chance & Michelle Weeks-Looking Forward

Now and then a proper but proper House track comes along with no electro square synths in sight. Full house funk filled to the top on this stormer by Jason Chance and Michelle Weeks.This is what house music has been missing for a while, some divaness, some classic 4 to the floor grooves. Welcome back home, the tide is finally changing! We applaud Jason for reminding why we fell in love with house in the first place.

8.Bass Kleph-These mornings

 Picture yourself coming out of a night club at 7 in the morning with the biggest party smile on your face. They (Club owners) have kicked you out  letting you know the “night is over”. You head off straight to your girlfriends house and for the first time you meet her Italian parents. At the breakfast table they’re speaking Italian to each other and for some strange reason it sounds like music, similar to glitchy vocals found on Bass Kleph’s latest single ”These mornings”. Ironic though, you start bopping your head to there conversation and your girlfriend thinks youre off you’re nutter! Her parents laugh, all you can say is “aaaaaahhhhhh aaaaaahhhhhh  aaaaaahhhhhhh”!

7.Black Rose-Anthem

This track reminds me of being goofed, high on mountain vegetation listening to rastas  Mcing over an infectious house groove belonging to Black Rose. The debut single from Jesse Rose and Henrik Scharwz collaboration stands to be an anthem none the less. Pass the puff sir, er… I mean “selector” , pass the key to music freedom of the mind that is!

6.Diddy Dirty Money-Coming home(Dirty South Remix)

One of the biggest if not the best track to come out of Miami WMC 2011 this year has undoubtedly been Dirty South’s Remix of Diddy’s  single ‘Comin home”. I’m surprised this tune made it out of Miami WMC alive. The amount of Dj’s giving  this track a working is astonishing! Dirty has taken a great song and gone supernova on our milkyway galaxy!

Out of the blue you hear this hypnotic synth line drawing you closer and closer, from nowhere you hear a crash sonic bass boom tearing your vessel apart! You taking in water, panic stricken you think “W.T.F” was that? You realise you have just crashed into Michael Woods. A Monster of an Iceberg that is “First Aid” Ironic that the title implies help and sustainability, far from the truth. This Dance Floor monster will put most listeners into the casualty ward!

5.Chromeo featuring Elly Jackson-Hot Mess (Ducksauce Remix)

If Ducksause a.k.a Atrack & Armand van Helden, were part of some Electronic mafia, the F.B.I would have their faces on wanted posters nationwide.The Remix talent between them is outstanding.None so more than this monster "Crime" that is Hot Mess! They have taken a electro funk  tune of Chromeo, added some disco elements rinsed in with soulful Elly Jacson "Because of love ........" vocals.
