Review: D&B kosmonauts Kosmos Music unite a whole crew of native creators for this special Deep Structures EP. Ahead of his album release on Med School, Electrosoul System lays down a game-changing half-time/full-time growler with "Under Deep Sky". M25 & First Function follow with a really interesting roller that utilises vocal snippets and elements in a genuinely unique and funky way. Deeper again, Despot adds a great sense of epicness and star-gazing wonder to Bop's already immaculate "Skeptikos" while Dissident lays down a jittery, frenetic steppy funk on "Pseudo II" that sits somewhere between the sprightliness of Fracture and the experimentalism of ASC.

Review: Third EP with the best productions of Jordi Robles and David Con G.

Review: After the success of "Because Of You" comes the result of a collaboration between Sergi M and Solar System. On this occasion their version of the song "Happy" by The Lighthouse Family.

Review: These two producers from Madrid unite their talent with Solar System & Sergi M and the result is a new remix of "Because Of You" in the style of "Stay With Me". The B side includes their hits "Hallelujah" and "Wonderful".

Review: Now more than 45 releases deep into their journey, Apron Records have teamed up with Patta Soundsystem to work on their first various artists release. To celebrate this monumental milestone, both camps have collaborated to create a clothing capsule to accompany the release. Better Together is the slogan that runs throughout the entire collaboration, stressing how unity makes us stronger as individuals. A diverse array of offerings are featured here: experimentally minded offerings by Ashtrejinkins and Brassfoot, System Olympia does slo-mo electro, while sublime deep house comes courtesy of Shamos and Shy One, and label chief Steven Julien provides some emotive broken beats.

Review: Paradise On Earth is Hot Creations' new DJ mix series, with the title doffing an over-sized cap to Jamie Jones' semi-regular Paradise club events. Volume one is mixed by two rising stars of the colossal-room house scene, Patrick Topping and Toronto-based Nathan Barato. The latter handles disc one, moving from the post-boompty beats of Derrick Carter and Moritz Piske, to the throbbing techno of Robert Hood. Along the way, Barato finds space to squeeze in cuts from Ian Pooley, Green Velvet and ItaloJohnson. Topping takes a different tack on disc two, regularly breaking up the 4/4 rhythms with older, breakbeat-driven house cuts, while also finding space for the previously unreleased "Acid Gadaffi" by Jack N Jerk, and Metaboman's deliciously woozy "Next Please".

Review: On this superb two-disc compilation, Opilec Records boss I-Robots shines a light on the Piedmomt area music scene in the 1970s and early '80s, showing how Italy's own Motor City, Turin, helped give birth to the Italo-disco scene. It's a killer collection, showcasing a range of obscure, little-known records that joined the dots between U.S funk, soul and disco, German krautrock, the proto-techno of Kraftwerk, and the synthesizer sounds coming out of the U.K. Remarkably, the 38-track collection contains numerous demos and unreleased alternate versions, drawn form the archives of the original producers and labels involved. If you're at all interested in the Italo-disco sound, Turin Dancefloor Express is an essential purchase.

Review: Dan Piu wrote this album during the "dark, dystopian times" of the last year. The record's themes take in nature, human life, sci-fi, cyborgs and plenty in between with opener 'Tru Confession' being a robust house track stacked with throwback breaks, futuristic synths and old school vocals. There is a real warmth and soul to the machine sounds of 'Un-X-Plored Exodus' while a certain sense of 90s New York house colours 'Upgrade System M59'. 'System Of Ethics' shows off a fine mastery of synth craft that brims with emotion and 'Asteroid Blues' is like a lost Kerri Chandler cut. Essential.

Review: After their first release in 2005, this release features a careful selection of previously unreleased, fresh and moving tracks from UK based Point Zero Records. 'Radioactivity II' - Compiled by Zeus - delivers deep and groovy vibes with a fresh, clean-cut production of sound.

Review: All Dave Clarke's biggest remixes, including Depeche Mode, New Order, Underworld and Moby, plus two previously unreleased tracks. Essential!

Review: Classic Rotterdam gabba.

Review: Is Ministry of Sound's 'The Annual' the longest-running compilation series in dance music history? It's certainly a contender, given that the London superclub brand has been delivering volumes every year since the early 1990s. The latest instalment - '2023', despite being released in late 2022 - follows the trend set by its predecessors by rounding up edited versions of bona fide club anthems and future crossover hits. That means plenty of well-established talents are represented - Eats Everything, Fisher, Fatboy Slim, Disclosure, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Calvin Harris, Eliza Rose, Tiesto, Paul Woolford and MK all feature - but also rising stars and artists we'll be hearing a lot more in the years to come.

Review: A bumper 3CD and downloadable collection of quality funky house favourites with a Latin flavour at a very pocket-friendly price. For 2006, Defected are using their extensive and high quality house music back catalogue to offer three CDs and an extensive digital package of top class funky dance music at one very special price. This second edition in the 'For The Love Of House' series boasts a Latin flavour and follows the success of the first installment of funky house anthems.

Includes music from heavyweight producers and artists such as Bob Sinclar, Roger Sanchez, Martin Solveig, Sandy Rivera, Junior Jack, Shakedown and ATFC. 'For The Love Of House' features top ten chart hits alongside clubland favourites. This is an album that reverses the trend that low price equals low quality.3xCD features six tracks exclusive to this format, while the download exclusively includes Wally Lopez's 'Helicopter'.
