Rassek - Riders On The Storm

In which the Doors classic (minus the vocal) gets the deep house bootleg treatment… except that it doesn't, because this is an actual bona fide official release, complete with credits and everything.

I'm not sure whether Arash Rasskeh Afshar – more snappily known as Rassek – has replayed huge chunks of the song remarkably faithfully, or whether Conya have invested heavily in sample clearance/licensing or what… but either way, this is going to kill it on the floor, of that you can be certain!

Remixes come from Kiko Navarro, SocioRobots and RedDub. To be honest, though, they don't vary hugely – if pushed I'd plump for Rassek's original mix out of the four, but it really doesn't matter which mix you go for,  you'll see the same results.

Nuff said, really.

Edmund ft Sacha D'Flame – Move Your Body

No fewer than NINE mixes grace this first single to be taken from my boy Edmund's long-awaited debut artist album, When It Flows.

I still owe you a review of the album, which came out last week – damn tricky to keep up with, those long-players – but it's a killer, trust! As for this lead single, well… I'm not going into all nine mixes cos we'd be here all night*, but with rubs from Kiko Navarro, Matthias Vogt, Alvaro Hylander, DJ Rasoul and more, it's hard to imagine any DJ who reads TIWWD not finding something to play, with "floor-friendly deep house leaning towards the soulful side" being a rough overview of the EP's contents.

Kiko's and Alvaro's mixes in particular, I'd suggest, are particularly worthy of your attention.

*Actually that's a silly thing to say. I will be here all night. I live here. But you know what I mean.
