Ralph Fritsch - Phoenix (Original Mix)

Slow steady kicks, lots of spacey atmospheres and beautiful beautiful melodies fused with amazing guitar work. "Phoenix" is like a journey through a beach hidden from nature and a lush one at that.
This is by far the best balearic tune (as Shah likes to call it) to date.

Andy Duguid feat. Esmaye - Touching Ground

Andy Duguid featuring Esmaye - Touching Ground

Andy Duguid's sounds have seem to overtaken all the sub woofers in town with the release of his smashing debut album 'Believe'. And obviously, this track stands out apart from the rest. With banging beats going way below the 16Hz mark and edging slightly towards a Deadmau5 style bass line, this track has depth to it that coexist in a melodic and vocal harmony.

Mr. Sam feat. Claud9 - Cygnes

Mr. Sam feat. Claud9 - Cygnes

Co-produced by Andy Duguid, this track is by far the best production from Mr. Sam.
Sam again proves masterful with his ability to create seemingly simple yet deceptively hypnotic and powerful soundscapes which work as good on the dance floor as they do on your couch.

* The tunes listed above may not always be the latest ones.
It is noted that a lot of them are classic revivals.
