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!!
Alex Kidd – Unholy Grail (Electro House)
Nov 29th
I’m never been the biggest fan of Electro House, I’ve always liked my house more funky with good vocals rather than having quick snippets of vocal samples etc but this track from Alex Kidd (USA) is quite different and it’s a great track to open a set with.
Everyone would have heard the sample he uses, but it’s looped and cut up over a synthy bassline that I’m sure will go down well on the dancefloor.

Trance Classic – Veracocha – Carte Blanche
Oct 6th
Veracoche, the alias of top Dutch Trance producers Vincent De Moor and Ferry Corsten produced this timeless classic in arguable the best era of the Trance genre – the late 90′s.
“Carte Blanche” reached number 22 in the UK singles charts and it’s synthetic melody, plus the added piano notes together with that uplifting beat make it an unforgetable trance track.
Leave The World Behind (Original Mix)
Apr 1st
This has been doing the rounds on the internet since the end of last year and is being tipped as one of the big tracks for the Summer.
Top producers – Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Laidback Luke and Axwell (I hope they come up with an alias for that!) have all come together to make this vocal house bomb of a track! It’ll be everywhere when it gets released!
