TOP TUNE //
My track of the month comes from a duo who need no introduction, The enigmatic Camelphat. Taken from there exceptional album Dark matter, The excellent Phantoms. Here the lads team up with another stella producer at the top of his game, the man himself Christoph. That track as you expect is a progressive monster with chugging basslines and techno percussion loops leading you into the riff of the year. Melodies and pads layered to perfection. When the break hits the riff gets evan better with a layer of strings added into the mix..... Absolutely stunning, Such a shame the clubs aren't open at the moment as this would be massive!

Tim French - Short Stuff [Limbo Records]
Next up I bring you an awesome progressive groover ‘Short Stuff’ out on the legendary Limbo records. Tim a fellow producer from my home town of Plymouth, and one of the residents from Melodic Beats brings us his second full release and what a gem it is. Off the back of a succesfull remix of Limbo anthem Gypsy - I Trance you he brings us his own original production to the iconic label. The track is a classy, broody number with layers of arps building with lush pads which take you on a hypnotic ride... I absolutely love this and sure you will too. If that wasn't enough there are two equally impressive remixes from Nila and Pablo Gargano. A great release from Tim and Limbo.

A funky bassline and equally funky percussion lines layered with pads and effects groove along nicely. this is a classy track for sure and can see why he has the support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Pete Tong, Kolsch to name a few. Really looking forward to the full album release....Watch this space.
