Minimize & sil Vouz play - Panorama [Perfecto Black]
Next up on the ever impressive Perfecto Black we have Minimize & s’ il Vouz play with the highly infectious Panorama. The track starts with quality house drum loops with a slight tribal undertone, They then get joined by a Pulsing bassline which catches the attention straight away. The track builds gradually till it drops with a massive riff which lifts the track to a totally different level. This is going to cause some serious damage on those discerning dance floors around the globe. Another strong release from Perfecto Black, Keep your ears primed for their next release Dreaming by some bloke called Paul hawcroft... Monster! apologies for the usual shameless plug. https://www.beatport.com/release/panorama/2828425
MKLY & Sides - Mauro [Songspire]
Here I bring you Ananti’s latest release and its a monster. Gardenstate aka the mighty Marcus Schossow and Matthew Felner offer us Journal Space, A peaktime banger with stomping techno grooves and infectious melodies which put you in a musical trancelike state throughout. Schossow and Felner, one of the promoter powerhouses behind New york’s Esscala do an excellent job on this Deep brooding masterpiece. A shout out to where the two met in New Jersey “The Gardestate’ This debut for the pair on Avanti definitely hits the spot. Well done to Kris O’Neil for snapping this badboy up.

Matt Fax - Light On [Colorize]
The stand out track this month for me is the sublime ‘Light On” From the enigmatic French producer Matt Fax. Taken from his forthcoming album coming in the spring, Which i personally cant wait to hear after listening to this beauty. The track starts off with some pulsating arps over tight percussion loops which build into stunning melodies which drive the track on throughout. This is exactly why Matt is considered one of the best in the scene with sets at ASOT 950, proving what a talent this man is. Hats off to you sir to this is an absolute weapon!

TOP TUNE //
Ballroom - Passanger (Paul Thomas & White-Akre Club Mix) [Avanti]
This absolute belter just literally dropped into my inbox. Here we see FSOE UV supremo Paul Thomas team up with Avanti mainstay White Akre to rework the amazing Ballroom Passenger. Originally released back in the year 2000 on Halogen records, A track that I absolutely used to rinse and still have on vinyl today. Here Avanti release 3 new versions for 2020, My pick is from Paul Thomas and White Akre. A chunky prog/techno crossover with the original vocals which work so well you'd be mistaken to think this was a brand new track never heard before. Great release. https://www.beatport.com/release/passenger/2850810
Jody Wisternoff & James Grant - Nightwhisper [Anjunadeep]
Anjunadeep’s top men Jody wisternoff & James Grant team up on the beautifully laid back Nightwhisper. The track appears on the amazing Anjunadeep 11 which I've had on repeat the past month or so. It is also the title track and lead single off Jody’s forthcoming album ‘Nightwhisper’.The track itself is beautifully produced with great chord progressions intertwined with a soft but effective vocal hook. I cant wait to hear the rest of the album. https://www.beatport.com/release/nightwhisper/2867389
