Fion - Every Moment

My love for Fion was first sparked when I heard the iconic 'cognac', those Brandy vocals and that future garage sound caught me hook line and sinker. Over the past few months it's been hit after hit, 'counterfeit', 'get some' and 'back now' are just some of the greats, not to mention his collaborations with fellow Irishman and good friend Aaron Lipsett. Theres a real variety in different sounds to his music, house, garage and bass with an old school 90s flavour.

I find myself grooving along to his latest track 'every moment', it flows along and builds with some amplified synths, then the drop releases a bouncing bass and a classic Fion style 90s rhythm. I've been trying to put my finger on what makes Fion's sound so special, and quite simply it's just feel good music. 

Wilkinson - Take You Higher (Foamo Remix)

Easter is one of the best times of year for us British, Easter Bank Holiday, that's 3 days on the lash with no worries of work. It's day 2 which means that you're hungover, you still have that taste of vodka in the back of your throat and that feeling of regret in the morning as you turn to see what creature you pulled last night. But cast your worries away for today is a new day, Foamo's remix of 'take you higher' is the energy boost that your night needs, that drop gets me everytime. 

Toyboy & Robin - Jaded

Rising stars Toyboy and Robin deliver once again with their latest release 'jaded' hot off sound-cloud  Jaded is a fine work of art, a tight production with some stunning melodies, upbeat feel good house vibes, with an old school flavor, it just makes you want to hit the dance-floor. It has that instantly recognizable Toyboy and Robin sound. Release date on the 22nd on April, don't miss out. 

George Maple - Fixed (Maribou State Remix)

Its early, a bit too early, the sun is only beginning to rise and it feels like I'm the only one awake in this place. I gaze out my window at sheets of white which blanket the ground, it's quiet and still, however I cannot sleep. I turn to play 'Fixed' and I find my self utterly spellbound, it creates an intimate atmosphere with deep warm soulful vocals and a magical instrumental, it just makes you feel good. As one comment mentioned, I'm in the Maribou State of mind. 

Jonar LR - Cockiness

Cure those Monday blues with Jonas LR's latest release 'cockiness', it may be a Rihanna sample, but who gives a shit, I mind myself grooving along to 'I love it when you eat it'. Jonas' songs have a laidback fun feel, perfect for a monday evening, 'cockiness' grooves along with a good rhythm and that Rihanna sample gives a sexy edge to the track. Simply sweet and sexy. 

Wildchild - Renegade Master (AppleBottom POWER Bootleg)

Teenage Bristol boy Applebottom is the master of the old school house sound, I never know what he's going to conjure up next. Hot of soundcloud is hit latest remix of the classic 'reneagade master', an inevitably head-noddin tune which was born for the dancefloor, with an old school house sound and uplifting synths this has Applebottom's name all over it. He had previously released a snippet of this, but this full release is now available on a free download for you lucky people. If you're craving some more, check out a Disco Palace mix he did. 

Bonobo - Emkay

Picture the scenario, it's 4 in the morning and you've been raving all night, you finally get home with your mates, but what music do you put on? It's a dilemma that most of us face, we all have that mate who wants another line or some heavy bass music, but if you're like me you want something to unwind and chill to. At the moment I'm turning to Bonobo, he is a true master of his craft, creating intimate melodic sounds with creative electronic, bass and drums. 'emkay' has soulful and jazzy flavours to it, it's a song that you can just sit back and dream to. 

Jill Scott - Golden (Kaytranada's Life Living Edition)

Everything that Kayranada touches turns to gold, he's constantly relasing track after track of the best quality, does this guy ever rest. I had previously heard Catching Flies do a innovative remix of 'golden' blending the vocals beautifully, but Kaytranada keeps that warm soulful feel of the original with some groovy bass. Look out for a Boiler room set he's going to do in Los Angeles with the likes of Sweater Beats and TA-KU in a few days time, going to be big!

R Kelly - Bump n Grind (Waze & Odyssey Mix)

I was just listening to Bondax at a pool party at WMC when Waze & Oddsey's remix of 'bump and grind' was dropped, I had previously heard Eton Messy drop it in one of their sets, and boy does it go down well live. I feel myself noddin and moving along to the beat without even realising what I'm doing, 'bump and grind' has that perfect mixture of garage and house vibes with an old school flavour. Make sure you turn this one up. 

Notize - All You Had

Some days I find myself endlessly searching for that one song, scrolling through countless youtube,soundcloud and blog pages, but then i find it, that one song which just hits the spot. Notize has been on my radar for a while now, this teenager has a talent at producing some stunning deep minimalist house tracks, I've had his latest track 'all you had' on repeat after repeat since I first heard it. It's one of those late night songs which seems to perfectly fit my mood. As with most of Notize's tracks, it's on a free download. 

Bicep & Ejeca - "You" (EJECA'S Piano Version)

Like strawberries and cream, Bicep & Ejeca are a duo who just seem to click. Their original track 'You' has been reworked by Ejeca, he's recreated it with some delicious house piano keys that just oozee tropical vibes. Just in time for summer which is creeping round the corner. 

Linear - Never Had

Well I can't tell you very much about Linear, he's an elusive character with no profile or information on soundcloud, but stumbling across his debut track 'never had' made my day. The song has been crafted from an old school Faith Evans track 'love like this', Linear takes this into 2013 with a simple but effective house instrumental. I can't get enough of those old school bouncy vibes. Show some support for this underground producer and downloading 'never had' for free. 

ViLLΛGE - Wanna Tell You (Henry Krinkle Remix)

If you haven't heard of Henry Krinkle by now I don't know what cave you have been living in, 'Stay' was one of the best songs of 2012 not to mention beauties like 'down to love'. There is something very special about his music, he really connects the listener to the music, it sucks you in another world. The original Village's track 'Wanna Tell You' is a deep, dark gripping song like much of his early stuff, but Henry Krinkle gives it a whole new feel, some deep groovy vibes from this one.

Justin Timberlake Feat. Ciara - Love Sex Magic (Bodhi Remix)

It seems as though we cannot get enough of Justin Timerlake at the moment, his resurrection of his music career has sparked a new wave of remixes. Bodhi have been killing it recently and this remix of the classic 'love sex and magic' is another gem to add to their collection. That drop after the 1 minute mark just brings a smile upon my face, it makes my whole body move. Grab it on a free download you lucky people  

London Grammar - Metal & Dust (Switch Remix)

London Grammar one of the hottest new talents on the scene at the moment. The female vocalist has a raw powerful voice which is spine-tingling, orchestrated with a clean cut instrumental. But here Switch puts his own stamp on the original, he adds flavors of house whilst still keeping the beauty of the original. I don't know about you, but I've got goosebumps. 

BNRY - Platz

MadTech are the ever reliable source of new music, they rarely have a bad release and have the best up and coming talents. BRNY is a relatively unknown producer experimenting with old garage and R&B sounds, 'Platz' one the other hand is quite unique, it smoothly glides along with some hypnotic house bass and an enchanting almost haunting vocal. A real hidden gem. 

Taneli - You're the One (Llescas Ello Mix)

Cure those Monday blues with some Taneli remixed by Llesca, those bouncy garage beats and fresh vocals are a perfect pick-me-up. Llesca has sped the original up, injecting it with a a bit more kick and energy to make it ready for the dancefloor. Dare I say it I think that he has made the original better, what a tune!

FREnchfire - FRONtin'

It's sunday, all is quiet and calm, the town is dark but some sleepy street lamps which stand lonely lit, the perfect time for some deep atmospheric music. What makes 'frontin' so special is that beautiful twisted and faded vocal, that voice seems to tell a story and just bleeds emotion. This music is almost like a drug, it creates such a high. 

Natasha Kmeto - Pleasure Delay (Jason Burns Remix)

Jason Burms has provided us with some absolute classics, such as 'back to you' and 'lightening'. The Cleveland producer has just dropped another gem, this remix of pleasure delay, the vocals again are completely mesmerizing and are sprinkled with some dazzling synths and soft kicks. best of all it's on a free download, so get your paws on it now. 

Squarehead - No One Has To Know

Squarehead is here for your weekend anthem, whether your hitting the dance floor or having a rave in your room this is a track to get you moving. The infectious cocktail of upbeat vocals,  bouncy house synths and groovy beats is 10 times better than any jagerbomb can offer. This is feel good house music served straight up. 

Rihanna - Stay (Marius Hörsturz Edit)

I know what you're thinking, don't we get enough Rihanna already?! Everytime I seem to walk into a shop, turn on the radio or tv (don't get me started on clubs) I seem to hear one of her songs. But just stop and have a listen, Marius Horsturz has given the orginal a breath of fresh air that it really needed, the blended vocals and soothing instramental give the track a different feel and atmosphere. I diddn't think that this could have been done, but well done sir!

Close feat. Scuba & Charlene Soraia - Beam Me Up (George Fitzgerald Remix)

One of the rising future talents to get excited about is George Fitzgerald. His January essential mix gave us tasters of his forthcoming releases, his remix of 'beam me up' being one of them, but also his track 'I can tell' wetted our appetites of things to come. Radio 1 DJs such as Annie Mac and Pete Tong have donned him as some house prodigy, everything Fitzgerald touches seems to turn to gold. 

Jonas Rathsman - Bringing You Down

Sky Ferreira - Everything Is Embrassing (MK Remix)

There is no better moment than when you go on holiday and get to the hotel, you throw all your luggage in your room and eagerly run down to check out the beach, you have that moment of awe as you take in the sight of white sands and a crystal clear blue sea. I get that same feeling when I listen to 'Everything Is Embrassing', as soon as I hit play those refreshing  vibes just take over, that powerful vocal sample hit's me smack bang in the chest. MK and Sky Ferreira have got this one spot on 

Cassie - ME & U (KASH Remix)

It may sound strange but I really enjoy sunday evenings. It's that point at the end of the week when I find myself most tired, I love putting on a deep atmospheric track in which I can just find an escape and be taken to another world. KASH has supplied the transporter with his remix of 'me and you', it has a warm pulsating base with smooth vocals and glitchy synths, I find myself just drifting away. 

Beyonce - End of Time (Delta X Remix)

Yeah I'm hungover again, so something soothing is in order for that splitting headache and sickening feeling, Beyonce and Delta X are the perfect remedy. 'End of Time' has a beautiful dark feel to it, I find myself sucked into a dreamlike state by those lulling Beyonce vocals which have been distorted and cut. This is going to be on repeat for the rest of the day.  

DrDr - Addicted

Those of you who are regular readers may remember an entry on DrDr's EP back in December, well that wait is finally over, 'addicted' has finally been released on soundcloud. DrDr are a trio comprising of two producers and a female vocalist, they fall under the umbrella term of 'future bass', but to be honest their music is influenced by so many different genres, flavours of house, garage and bass all blended together to create somthing rather delicious. Very exciting things to come from DrDr, look out AlunaGeorge some new kids are on the bloc. 

Sweater Beats - Need You Around

In the words of Sweater Beats 'I make your booty bounce', his music is bursting with color and warmth which just fills you up inside. You may have already heard his latest release 'touch my body', which is a soulful recreation of Maria Carey's iconic track. So if you're having a quiet one tonight grab a bottle or two and stick this on.
