Homework - I Got One (You’re It). nice house track with something extra soulful about it. simple and beautiful, ‘i got one’ is a good cut to throw into a set to take things deeper. **vocals** are so strong.
Cassie - Me & U (Brenmar remix). the vocals on ‘me’ are pretty melty… steamy one definitely for the club, it’s got that mainstream flow to it and it’s great. completely accessible for everyone. **jammin** remix so don’t snob ;)

Trentmoller - Moan (Trentemoller remix) not new, (just amazing). slower and eerie, ‘moan’ could be dropped for a big crowd somewhere and it could go off. good for an interlude to slow things down. it is slow beat, but it could hit deep. Anders Trentemøller is danish and lives in copenhagen. he is a multi talented instrumentalist and more alternative than most dance acts, but top...

Danny Tenaglia - Music is The Answer (Diego B From Sp Acid Twist Remix). better than the original. crazy remix. makes you wanna dip. (danny T. is a big goon, but he has the classic house sound wrapped up. probably more to be said about his live show than any particular one of his releases). again, remix is wayyy better.
