(House) Roger Goode is back with the second instalment of his evocatively titled Pandoraβs Box, once more enticing you to give in to your curiosity, lift the lid on the place where you stow your more carnal inclinations and let loose your inner party animal. With seventeen tracks covering just about every conceivable manifestation of […]
<House> Future Retro is easily one of the most hotly anticipated albums of the year, and with good cause. The lads from London have been teasing our ears with singles taken off the album for about a year now, painting a sonic portrait resplendent with soul, funk, soft chords, and deft, driving bass lines. As […]
<House> It has long been said that Euphonik alienated his urban fan base when he started heading down the EDM route, and to some extent that is true. For The Love Of House: Total Blackout definitely stays true to this new found sound but doesnβt detract away from the quality that one would expect from […]

What does set them apart from the proliferation of Raphael Saadiq/DβAngelo sound-alikes though, is an aspect of their live performance that hits you from […]
<Dancefloor Electronica> Richard the Third is a straight up boss. This ten track album from the SA BASS movement ambassador is a juicy, proudly South African chakalaka chutney flavoured piece of work. He incorporates the best of local kwaito, rinsing Dubstep, Dub, House, Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Downbeat and of course Bass into an original […]
<Tech/Minimal> Okay, quick introduction: 1. Vagabundos is a wildly popular club brand, known for their untamed, stylish carnival affairs which bring together the very best DJs in house and techno. Having held down residencies at DC10βs Circoloco, Ushuaia and more recently, wildly successful nights at Pacha, Vagabundos urges Ibiza action seekers to βfollow the trail […]
<Electro House> Pascal Ellinas and Dave Pearce have been obliterating dancefloors with their filthy electro house tunes for quite some time.
