#1 The Beta Set (Original Mix) - Funkagenda
Label: Toolroom Records
Genre: Tech House
The Beta Set comes from Funkagenda's latest work on Toolroom Records: "Budgie/The Beta Style EP". This tech house track has the unmistakeable Funkagenda rolling back and forth, up and down bassline, as well as some sick break down edits and rising synth notes, which all together make for a monster track.
#2 Levan Polkka (Daniele Petronelli Remix) - Juan Ddd & Johan Dresser
Label: No-Logik
Genre: Minimal
This minimal release on No-Logik Records is simply amazing. Using the vocals from the track "Levan Polkka", a Finnish song from the 1930s, the track delivers cleverly chopped up vocals with a smooth baseline, cheeky percussion and a great drop.
#3 Stay Up Dancing, Get In Monday (Original Mix) - Darius Syrossian
Label: Area Remote
Genre: Tech House
This is tech house at it's best. Released on Area Remote, the laid back baseline with a sweet and short repeating vocal sample makes the track extra catchy. The melodic piano and trombone break in the middle of the track makes the drop so tasty!
#4 Bipolar (Original Mix) - Hertz
Label: Respekt Recordings
Genre: Techno
This is one of Hertz debut tracks on Respekt Recordings, their "Bipolar" EP including another track entitled "Manic". This techno track has made its way into my top 4 for its dirty, hard-hitting and solid driving loop, with clever percussion and build up placement throughout.
