Superb Vocal House from Tomcraft, I’m loving this right now:
Afrojack feat. Eva Simons – Take Over Control
Aug 8th
I can’t say I’m a big fan of Afrojack and the rest of the Dutch House style, it’s all a bit “samey” – all tracks sound the same and they don’t seem to go anywhere. Like marmite, really, I know a lot of people love it but I’m not a big fan.
Afrojack has made a few tracks I like, “Louder than Words” was good and “Pacha on Acid” too, but other tracks in the more Dutch House style I just can’t get into. “Take Over Control” is probably his best release to date in my opinion, great vocals from Eva Simons, it has a more progressive beat to it but Afrojack can’t resist to include that Dutch sound in the background, which after some nice vocals, it kicks into a heavy electro riff – great for peak times.

Tune of the Week – Tensnake – Coma Cat
Aug 7th
Tensnake – Coma Cat, released earlier in the year but only now have I come across this beauty. “Coma Cat” has an older disco-house style to it, but it’s blend of vocal samples, and cowbell, piano sounds just combine into a superb chilled out house track. I’ve always preferred the older, more purer house sound, and this brings it back but it’s still fresh and is a potential classic. I love it!!
Jean Jacques Smoothie – 2People (Louise la Roche Remix – DJ Kevin-E Edit)
Jul 19th
I bought this remix from djdownload.com but only discovered afterwards that it’s only 2 mins – not long for DJ use, so I decided to loop it a bit to make it 4 minutes+. Nothing special here, just a bit of intro/outro looping to play it at gigs.
