Velvetine – The Great Divide (Anjunabeats) Final one for the week, we previously mentioned this track earlier in the month and how it’s a highly anticipated release for the band and for the Anunabeats label. So, with its release due this Monday, this is a perfect track to sit on the site all weekend. Velvetine is DJ/production duo Myon & Shane 54 and American singer-songwriter Aruna and this track actually debuted on Trance Around The World 400 about 10 months ago, and since then has...

Denis The Menace & Syke’n’Sugarstarr – World In Your Hands (Subliminal Records) Finally out this week, this is a massive tune from Erick Morillo’s always reliable Subliminal Records. With a radio and US Mixshow edit included on the promo for those who like their tracks short, the mixes that we’re concentrating on are the Original, Club, Dub, Instrumental and Tim Anderson Remix. The Club Mix goes for the big beats and huge breakdown, which allow the vocal to stand out and build...

Punky Blaster – Missin’ (Toolroom Records) Heads are still sore! You can’t beat a long weekend to go overboard on everything that’s bad for you! So, how do you recover? Usually, we’re supplying you with a Monday morning slice of soulful house music to ease you back into normality.

Chicane & Ferry Corsten - One Thousand Suns (Modena Records) Final one of the week for us, and due to the Bank Holiday weekend in the UK, this will have pride of place on our site until Tuesday. As soulful as we like to start the week off, you know we like to finish it with something epic - think we found it here with this collab between Chicane and Ferry Corsten. Both pioneers of the early trance sound, what they’ve produced here is an anthemic slice of dance music that is perfect for...

Pirupa – Party Non Stop (Riva Starr / Huxley Remixes) (Defected Records) One of the biggest tunes of the past few months is eventually nearing a release date (we think?!). Pirupa’s ‘Party Non Stop’ originally appeared on Locodice’s Desolat label earlier in the year before it was snapped up by Defected Records, who commissioned mixes from two of house music’s best cutting edge producers – Riva Starr and Huxley.

Kevin Saunderson – The Sound (Jay Lumen Sacred Sounds Remix) (Toolroom Records) Back into the groove we go with today’s biggie, the amazing sounds of a house music pioneer, Inner City’s Kevin Saunderson. With Inner City, or on his own, Kevin has been behind some of dance music biggest tracks, best compilations and some top albums. Here though, it’s his classic ‘The Sound’, from 1987 (!) that gets brought bang up to date by Jay Lumen with his Sacred Sounds remix.

Nova Fronteira - Everybody Loves The Sunshine (Soul Love) Nice and soulful for a Monday as usual, this blissful slice of house music on Seamus Haji’s classic Soul Love label is a cover of the Roy Ayers’ classic and should be instantly recognisable to most. It has summer written all over it and once you stick this on repeat those ‘beginning of week’ blues should quickly fade away.

Kryder – Ultima (Trice Recordings / Armada Music) Final one for the week and it’s another track pumped full of adrenalin to set you up for the weekend ahead. We seem to be covering Kryder quite regularly, which is always a good indication that an artist has lots going on. This time, it’s his new release on Armada Music and Trice Recordings that’s got us all excited. It’s a Beatport exclusive just now but will be widely available from the end of the month.
