Sleazy McQueen - We Need To Re-Connect (Dicky Trisco's Soft Piano Re-Rub)



Dicky Trisco: "Re-rub I knocked together of an ace track by Sleazy McQueen that came out on Paper recently. Did it just for DJing out as parts of the track really reminded me of the classic Soft House Company. And good news is that it is now getting a release on a Paper Recordings CD comp due out in May..."

Fur Coat feat. Cari Golden - You and I



Venezuelan production duo Fur Coat is back on Crosstown Rebels, this time armed with the sultry West Coast tones of Cari Golden and bomb of the season, "You and I".
"You And I" has long been slaying dance floors at the hands of Damian Lazarus, cloaked in mystery until Art Department let the cat out of the bag at Mexico’s BPM Festival, cementing the track as highly sought after DJ weapon, and leaving ‘Fur Coat’ and those suggestive lyrics on everyone’s lips. A-grade addictive groove, ‘You And I’ is the epitome of deep and sleazy bassline house with the added distinction of Cari Golden’s velvety vocals building an allegorical story of chemistry and intoxicating love.

Discodromo - Mercurio (The Miracles Club Mercury Rising Remix)



The Miracles Club from Portland, USA turns "Mercurio” by Berlin based duo Discodromo, into a track full of mixed emotions on their Club Mercury Rising remix. On one hand there's the dreamy synth riffs that used to be the sole preserve of Booka Shade and MANDY, yet on the other there are squealing, dark bass licks and urgent chord builds.

Dead Rose Music Company – Four Songs EP



The meteoric rise of North Yorkshire's Dead Rose Music Company continues, this time with a much-hyped EP on Jacques Renault and co's NYC label Let's Play House. It's the hypnotic, decidedly loved-up "Faith" that's been getting most plaudits - and rightly so, it's fantastic - but there are plenty other delights to be found amongst Four Songs. Principle among these is the swirling, string-laden disco-house epic "Nutkins" (a formidable house take on Dennis Parker's end-of-night fave "Like An Eagle"), which bobs and weaves like David Haye running away from an opponent. That said, both "Shake" and "Don't Stop" are almost as unmissable. His best yet by some distance.

"Lose Yourself To Jenny” is packed with remixes by Axel Boman, Rebolledo, Till Von Sein and Maxxi Soundsystem. The last one is my favourite!
