Brand spankin’ new remixes of Dubfire’s hit ‘Rabid’ have arrived. The ‘Radio Slave’s Remix’ has an electronic throb and eerie feel overall, with a repetitive vocal and creepy sounds used to maximum effect. ‘Edit Select’ on the flip comes in at a warmer vibe, but still equally as volatile. It’s steady, and continually builds and builds, creating a sense of tension and excitement. The release also comes with additional stems for those who want to do some cheeky remixing and edits on the fly.

Claes Rosen, they call him “the man of melodies”. His first claim to fame was the amazing ‘Eighties’ track on the Jackmoves label back in 2005, which was subsequently caned by all big names. ‘Milky Way’ is in Claes’ recognizable style: funky & silky progressive house with a bit of 80’s influence. ‘A Bit Odd’ still keeps main funky lines but this time with bit of a deeper & darker groove.

‘Blame Dodger’ was originally released on Magik Johnson’s outstanding ‘You Are Sound’ full length from last year, and has returned with an impressive updated remix from electro house pimp, HiJack. All the catchy elements from the original are intact, including the spoken word from Morning Star, but with a bigger room fidget house edge. We love the cut and paste chunky funk vibes from this remix, and are still absolutely impressed with the original. Essential.

Originally released on Blackwiz back in 2005, this time around Sandy Rivera gives it a revamp for 2010 while retaining the integral Moorish flavor of the original. Sandy works his sultry house style with an infectious synth line beneath the Balearic hook. This fourth release from Blackwiz is destined for the dark corners of the club.
