Sandrien – I Left My Girlfriend At The Club [Theory]

This somehow went under the radar, in terms of how little it’s been played out. Packed full of energy, with that classic ghetto feel to it which, coupled with the vocal hook, makes it an out and out winner.

Kahuun – Batteri [Sex Tags UFO]

This is one of those ‘hot summer day’ tunes. Starts off like it’s going to go into some sort of dark techno belter and then transforms into something completely different.

Ulysses – Nanook [Online only via The Bunker NY]

Not standard ‘club music’ by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a very eerie piece, yet fairly addictive because of the way the elements of it all seem to piece together nicely. It ends up putting you into a sort of hypnotic state. Great trippy piece of music.

C.P.I – Proceso (Barnt Remix) [Hivern Discs]

Barnt is one of those producers who gets me excited every time I see his name near a release. The claps closely followed by the big synth melody in the middle are what stand out over the original.

Brain Machine – Pulsations (Majeure Remix) [Emotional Response]

I’m struggling to find words for this other than that one of the few situations I can imagine hearing it is when I'm pretty much out the game at the end of a night at Sub Club.

John Swing – Dirty Disco [Relative]

John Swing has put out a lot of good stuff lately. It’s a very similar style to Lucretio – that rough, driven, disco-sample sound, but sounds great – anytime I’ve heard or played it in a club, it’s gone down a storm.

Floating Points – Montparnasse [Eglo]

Couldn’t leave this one out. I’ve had it on repeat for the last week or so. The sound design is excellent, and the high hat in particular is something I always end up drawn to when listening to it. One of those records you just have to sit back, turn the volume up, and give a proper listen to. No laptop speakers allowed though.

Dark Sky – IYP [Mister Saturday Night]

Released on the Mister Saturday Night compilation that came out recently, IYP is definitely up there as one of my most listened to tracks of the year so far. First time I heard this on a big system was when Mia Dora dropped it in the Slam Tent and it blew the roof off. Rightfully so as well.

Nami Shimada – Sunshower [Crème Organization]

I’m quite late to the party with this one, having only discovered it after its second reissue on Crème this year, but it’s an amazing record and deserves to be heard by as many folk as possible.

Penny Penny – Dance Khomela [Awesome Tapes From Africa]

This came out on Awesome Tapes from Africa last year, but it’s one I’ve revisited quite a bit since. Go explore the Soundcloud page – picking just one track doesn’t do the the label justice. I went for this one because it wouldn’t feel right for me to compile a list like this without including some sort of piano house anthem in it. And this fits the bill perfectly.

Le Knight Club – Mirage [Crydamoure]

Crydamoure, a now defunct record label co-owned by Guy-Manuel of Daft Punk, has seen a bit of a resurgence in recent Vitamins’ sets. I debated what record to go for, but Le Knight Club is made up of the two guys who ran the label, so it was only right to go for one of their own productions.

Luke Vibert – Acage [Hypercolour]

Sexy, seductive acid from Luke Vibert to finish off. This and Acid Jacker are the best of a great bunch on his new album.
