The week in house music

As 2007 winds down and everyone prepares for the holiday festivities, some of our key labels unload their weapons and keep us grooving well into the New Year.

Steve Angello and Laidback Luke

Steve Angello and Laidback Luke can do no wrong.

Together they team up and combine classic keys with thick dirty beats on the instrumental mix of ‘Be’.

The vocal mix takes this track over the top. Stay tuned…

Check out Steve Angello and Laidback Luke ‘Be’ [Mixmash] on Beatport.

Moussa Clark

Check out Moussa Clarke ‘Fade Away’ [Starview] on Beatport.

Ian Oliver and Shantel

The massive worldwide success of ‘Heater’ paves the way for Shantel and Ian Oliver ‘Bucovina’ on Kontor holding steady at Number 1.

The string arrangement on this track sets it apart from other Latin-infused house tracks.

Check out Ian Oliver and Shantel ‘Bucovina’ [Kontor] on Beatport.

Monkz

Dancefloor orientated house is what ‘Spacedizko’ is all about, with a twist of strings and a funky-ass bassline from the Monkz on Sick Watona.

There is much more in store from this Argentinean label.

Check out Monkz ‘Spacedizko’ [Sick Watona] on Beatport.

U-Phonic

U-Phonic lays out ‘I Like’ with a funky peak hour mix from Raul Rincon, and a more
techy groove from Mr. Tedd Patterson.

The old school heads are sorted with a Hard Attack tribute mix comprised of straight up simple house elements.

Check out Darrel Martin and Muriel Fowler ‘I Like’ [U-Phonic Records] on Beatport.

DJ Disciple and Michelle Weeks

DJ Disciple’s [right] Catch 22 label embraces the vocal talents of Michelle Weeks and the production skills of DJ Dove on ‘Turn It Around’.

Dove’s Next In Line Mix is the one that shines in this package.

Check out DJ Disciple feat. Michelle Weeks ‘Turn It Around’ [Catch 22] on Beatport.

DJ Pierre builds his Afro Acid label

True house legend and pioneer DJ Pierre builds his Afro Acid label with an exclusive fresh new release from German producer DJ Mtraxx.

This is properly titled — pure ‘House Thunda!’

Check out DJ Mtraxxx ‘House Thunda!’ [Afro Acid Digital] on Beatport.

Bring back the 1990s!

…When house was just plain ole’ house.

We bring back the 1990s with a choice selection of house classics from iconic labels, such as Cutting Records, Strictly Rhythm, Idler’s, Sub-Urban, Henry Street and Cerrone’s Malligator.

One of the beauties of the digital revolution is it spreads opportunity and inspires.

The new breed of producers embraces timeless records, giving them a new twist.

Tracks that were previously unavailable in a physical format for many years see the light of day once again and educate a whole new crop of dance music fans.

New charts from around the globe

Beatport has new charts online from the French house ambassador, Antoine Clamaran, Germany’s Syke’N’Sugarstarr and Jerry Ropero, Belgium’s Tom DeNeef, New York City’s Onionz and Slovenia’s Angel Anx.

Angel Anx

DJ Angel Anx [main image] has had tracks out on high profile labels, such as Toolroom, Cr2, Stereo, Go Deeva and Map Dance.

This past summer, his ‘Love Strings’ single was making noise all over Ibiza.

Angel Anx is a DJ and producer who delivers razor sharp productions on his new ‘Copy Rat EP’ on Agent Funk Records, hitting techy deep electronic house elements.

Check out Angel Anx ‘Copy Rat EP’ [Agent Funk] on Beatport.
