“FRIDAY”
u Riton x Nightcrawlers feat. Mufasa & Hyperman u Ministry of Sound/RCA
“THE WORD HOUSE”
Flexing a phat sample of the Nightcrawlers’ 1992 classic “Push the Feeling On,” this one’s a fun, party-style jam that should find a broad audience. Pop-leaning with electro-house flavors, it’s a peak-hour, dancefloor killer – no doubt. Check the “Dopamine Re-Edit – Extended.”
This Aussie duo, Yogi and Husky, never seems to disappoint as they always bring their best to the dancefloor – and here’s another winner. With a preacher vocal throwing down atop sexy keys and bouncing house rhythms, this one will wake up the floor. Check the “Extended Club Mix” for full flavor.

“LIVE FOR TOMORROW”
u Jus Jam u Broken District
u Stranger Souma u PinkStar Black
A deep journey through an influential decade of rhythm-based music – replete with cultural signposts like video-game snippets, New Jack Swing grooves and cinematic dreamscapes – this six-tracker offers some genuine nuggets. “Neopolis Sound” flaunts a sleek and easy groove with jazzy flourishes, while “Higher Sense” pushes an airy, mildly psychedelic vibe with congas, tasty horns and a snappy breakbeat – a lovely groove. The title track offers a soulful R&B vocal over a skittering beat and an earworm sample and “Wide” drops some splendid 2-step flourishes. Deep jam delights.
Straight outta Casablanca comes Stranger Souma and her delicious melodic vibe that is so evident on this gorgeous new cut. This one’s trippy and soulful and it delivers some cool world-beat grooves. Adventurous and very hot!

“YOUR LULLABY” (EXTENDED MIX)
u Giolì & Assia u Ultra
The Italian DJ/production duo starts this moody track with a driving beat and trance-laden accents, while maintaining a strong dancefloor vibe. With a beautiful, breathy vocal, highlighted by whimsical harp plucking, the cut offers just enough on the low end to keep a delicate, yet danceable groove going. Tasty.

“IT’S A FINE DAY” (REMIX)
u Nicola Fasano & Carmine Sorrentino feat. Miss Jane u One Seven
While the original is sweet and ethereal, an excellent new “Jaydan Wolf Remix” brings a rugged bassline on top of some very cool angelic vocals. Lots of attitude on this little gem and the groove is a definite floor-banger.
