DJ CHART - Shari Vari

1. Sven Weisemann - Vivid Memento (Styrax Leaves)

Absolute topper! This is how techno should be made - dark, melodic grooves with beautifully worked synth stabs. This is just the type of label we need, neo-Detroit at its very best!

2. Trippy Disco - What I Did On My Summer Holiday (Radius)

This is a great wee EP, 80s-esque electro, greatly shaped and worked analog sounds throughout. The stand out track for me is Mote I Verdensrommet. Epic stuff.

3. Nicky Siano - The Gallery (Soul Jazz)

A quality 1970's NYC Underground Disco compilation.

4. Digital Funk Addicts - Higher Level (Moods & Grooves)

Yet another great track from the Mood & Groves camp. The track is perfectly suited for any dancefloor, with deep moving basslines and a firm beat.

5. Jovonn - Don't Waste Your Time (The Lost Larry Heard Remixes) (Track Mode)

This is house at its musical best, everything Larry Heard touches turns to gold! As for Jovonn, he has made everything you want from a house record: beautiful dreamy vocals, great keys, sweeping strings and it lasts for about ten minutes.

6. Underground Resistance - Ma-Ya-Ya (UR)

Ultimate slide track to come from the new wave from the UR camp. This track has been in my bag for over a year now and will never leave. Absolute dynamite.

7. Trussel – Phreek (Bof?)

Larry Levan-inspired disco.

8. Deadbeat/Monolake - Random Brown EP (Cynosure)

If you wanted to get any deeper than this you would need a deep sea diver's outfit: techno in the vain of Chain Reaction and Basic Channel. On the flip, some satanically deep acid noises spring out of the darkness to light up your life. A work of art.

9. Convextion - Miranda (Matrix)

Deep, dubby techno that had to be repressed due to its popularity and initially limited numbers.

10. Moodymann – Shades of Jae (KDJ)

Classic deep house from a few years back, but still sounds as fresh today as it did back then.
