Dizzie Rascal - Come and dance for me

I used to not really get Dizzie, i couldnt see what all the hype was about. Then i saw him perform in Denmark to a crowd of 10,000 people. He literally owned the stage and had the whole crowd going nuts. That takes serious talent.

Since then ive really rated him, and can now see how good this guy is. Calvin harris is another guy i rate a very talented producer, who makes original music that appeals to the masses. Its a great collab on paper and i think the actual tune is just as good!! refreshing!!!

Todd Edwards - Shut the door (Logistics Remix)

A friend of mine is an avid hospital drum and bass fan and he told me about this track down the pub last night, i was extremely intrigued to hear it!!! After the initial "blooming hell that's fast" shock hearing that famous old loop 50bpm faster than before, I'm feeling it!!
Would be interested to know if this is a bootleg or an official mix. I'm guessing that it’s a bootleg though. I love the way the original is used in the middle. Would be awesome to go to an D and B night and hear this one randomly sneak in the mix!!

Justice - DVNO - Todd Edwards Vocal Remix

Great to see todd back on form this year with a few major remixes under his belt. The Sunshine Bros Dub remix of this is doing the rounds at the moment, but the vocal mix sadly appears to stay unreleased. This is my fav of the mixes, heres a clip from EZ's show. Classic Todd goodness. Nice to see experimentation with the structure too!

Robin Thicke - Magic



Biggest tune of the summer right here? Pure vibes!! Sounds like it could of been made 40 years ago. Ive always been a big fan of his work and this one is just amazing. Great honest music that will appeal to everyone.

Pharrell - Creamsickle



An unreleased gem from Pharrell, got a kinda 80's vibe to the synths and drums. pure smooth summer time music. Was intended for "In My Mind" but didnt make the final cut.

Cotti Ft Doctor - Calm Down

listen here

This ones been doing the rounds on promo for ages. Its finally out on vinyl (with a maesure of controversy surrounding it too). Reggae Meets Dubstep is a style that ive always enjoyed and adding doctor to the mixonly makes it even better. He lays down a superb performance on this track and its get proper wedged in your head! Looking forward to spinning this one over the summer months.
