Azuli's yearly Miami compilations act as a primer of the likely 'big' tunes of the annual Miami Winter Music Conference and often, the subsequent Ibiza season. The near ubiquitous sound of electro-house looms large across this year's two CD release, the likelihood being that if successful in Miami and the White Isle's clubs, some of its tracks will end up in this autumn's Top 40. Despite most of them getting over familiar with the same, obvious growling bass-lines and pumping synth-patterns, there's an undeniable energy at play that will see many rock dance-floors worldwide. Those who prefer a more subtle club soundtrack should look elsewhere. If there's fun to be had its picking out the likely commercial hits; vocal-led numbers such as Laura Kidd's Automatic, Won't Do It Again by Dave Spoon featuring Laura Vane and Ultra DJ's Me & U are sure-fire chart fodder.
