RIP FRANKIE KNUCKLES

The Godfather of House has sadly passed away aged 59. An inspiration and legend of the scene who helped shape house music into what it is today.

A truly very sad time, his music will live on

Shadow Child & T.Williams

Such a silly collab these two! Out comes another belter entitled 'Want You To' and this ones coming out on London based label PMR Records. 'Want You To' is part of an upcoming summer compilation from PMR, 'From 20 Square Feet'. It has been mixed by T.Williams and features the much talked about collaboration between Cyril Hahn and Javeon.

April 9 – Manchester, The Ritz
April 10 – Paris, La Machine
April 11 – Glasgow, The Arches
April 12 – London, Shapes

Below we have 'Want You To' and the past release from T.Williams & Shadow Child which is an edit of Shadow Child's (Dave Spoon) hit in 2006, 'At Night'. It's all about the re-vibe... Enjoy these two

Heavy Duty

The lads over at Domino Effect Records are kindly giving away there latest mighty fine production for free!

The spine tingling collaboration of the Domino Effect bosses S.Jay & Ostertag is sure one to keep tabs on! Following up from there weighty release 'Rim Riddim', this latest track definitely doesn't disappoint with that bumpy, booty shaking flow that we are getting rather familiar of and we're loving it!

Have a gander through this neat package of two killer tracks!

redlight: '36' EP ON THE WAY

Funky new music and video from Redlight.

UK DJ/producer powerhouse Redlight is said to be releasing a new 4-track EP titled ’36′, scheduled for release on March 10th 2014. The EP follows previous club bangers ‘Basscone’ and ‘Get Out My Head, and the timeless 'Inside My Love' (Redlight Remix)

We are very exited for the release of the full ep as ’36′ isn't exactly a trademark Redlight production, nevertheless the sound is fresh, edging towards a deeper feel, and an almost disco groove with solid and clean vocals throughout. 

Here is the lead track to get you going.
