Everything Under The Sun

A warm mix of UK style bass with some fizzly, floating synth pads, this next track is one of the purest and undeniably good things I've come across in a while. I first came across it in Friendly Fires' Resident Advisor podcast (which was absolutely ace) and immediately had to stop listening and refer to the tracklist to find out what exactly I was hearing. Scope the full release from Hot Chip's Greco Roman label on Beatport here.

Maceo Plex doing what he does best here; slowed-down, sexed-up house replete with some throbbing analog synths. Another top release from a 2011 that saw him rightfully entering RA's top 100 djs list at #5. Oh and that reminds me, be on the lookout for our upcoming top 50 tracks of 2011 list that should be coming out in the next few days, I don't want to give too much away but you can definitely expect some Maceo Plex on there. Also be sure to check out the Eats Everything remix of this track.

Awesome Big Room electro house. 'Nuff said.

Our friends over at Volta Bureau sent us this dance dub of their single "Hope" the other day and needless to say I was immediately smitten with it after just one listen. Clean, swinging percussion, some dreamy piano cuts and a massive, analog-sounding synth line to top it all off. What more could you ask for? For all things Volta Bureau be sure to head over to their Facebook Page.

Can't wait for this release. I'm sure this is a track that will be destroying Miami all spring this year.
