[Audio] Maya Jane Coles’ ‘No Stick’

No Stick is a bran new track from Maya Jane Coles that features on the Burning Bright (with Hercules And Love Affair’s Kim Ann Foxman) remix single released late last month. Burning Bright is one of our tunes of the year, but if you needed any more convicting to go out and grab yourself a copy, check out No Stick.

This is the perfect compliment to Maya’s amazing Comfort album, No Stick is no mere B-side. This is a deep, hypnotic, funky-as-hell dancefloor destroyer. Rumbling sine basslines, shuffling House beats and a sledgehammer vocal sample all join forces to deliver a slightly Dub influenced mesmerizing tune that you could really loose yourself in on the dancefloor.

[Audio] Aeroplane reMixes Kris Menace & Romanthony’s ‘Nite4U’

The contribution to German Nu-Disco Producer Kris Menace’s Features album of last year from the late-great voice of House Romanthony, Nite4U, also puts in a appearance of the reMixed version of the record, released this week. And the producer stepping up to the plate to take on the track? French hype magnet Aeroplane works his euro Disco magic on Nite4U, check it out.

A rolling slice of piano lead dance music, Aeroplane’s mix of Nite4U teeters on the edge of early 90s House without actually taking the plunge. Not quite Disco, not quite House, it’s bulging bassline and snappy 909 beats exist in a timeless, classic, dance music form all of their own. A solid dancefloor workout, Romanthony’s vocals feel perfectly at home amidst the warehouse vibe.

[Audio] GotSome’s ‘Bassline’

Bristol House duo GotSome have been racking up some serious radio play in recent months. Their forthcoming début single, Bassline, has not only been championed by both Annie Mac and B.Traits and MistaJam but has also been picked up by Defected for a release later this month. One half of GotSome happens to be Alex from Substatic, so, y’know, at least he’s got an excuse for the lack of Substatic tunes recently.

As moody and atmospheric as it is infectiously danceable, Bassline mixes up a little Chicago, a little Acid and a little Balearic all rolled up in a decidedly UK package. Get Along Gang provide some ear worm vocals that flow with the pumping bassline and retro future keys. There’s a good chance you may have already heard this tune over the summer, and with release date looming it looks set for big things.

♫ GotSome (Feat. Get Along Gang) – Bassline

GotSome’s début EP featruing Bassline, Don’t Want You Back and On Point is released 14th October on Defected.

[Audio] Ali Love’s ‘Another’

Ali Love’s forthcoming new single for Crosstown Rebels is released later this month. He;s apparently not burnt himself out working with Hot Natured and is ready to deliver his next batch of solo material. Back to the soulful ElectroPop, he’s bring with him some Hot Creations flavours House vibe too. Another follow Ali’s last single, March’s Emperor and precedes a forthcoming album early next year.

Another rolls along of a shuffling House beat, growling deep tones and a Chicago-esque melody. A brooding and infectiously danceable backing for Ali’s lament. His heartfelt croon gliding across the strobe light dance track like silk. The single comes loaded with reMixes from the likes of Tuff City Kids (aka Gerd Janson & Phillip Laur) and the inimitable Felix Da Housecat, it looks like this tune could be a big one for the winter months.

[Audio] Cassian reMixes Owl Eyes’ ‘Hurricane’

Released next month is Australian singer Owl Eyes’ Nightmixes EP. As part of the collection fellow Australian and purveyor of all thing Funky and Housey Cassian has taken Owl Eyes’ Hurricane and turned it into a poolside Disco monster. Enjoy,

There’s so much space in this track. It’s just six minutes of laid back, carefree Nu-Disco and classic House with loads of room for it to breathe. Spread out over the six minutes are punchy digital basslines with a Chicago feel, twisted up vocal snatches, slightly Tropical leads, lush pads and an overall adherence to a lazy groove. Cassian never fails to deliver, and this floorfilling reMix is no different. One for hot summer nights.
