The wait is over for a new single from The Shapeshifters; this week they released “Waiting For You,” featuring Shermanology. Soon they’ll also be releasing new remixes of some Frankie Knuckles classics, including “I’ll Take You There” and “Your Love.”

We caught up with them to sneak a peek inside their crate; read on to see which records are blowing up their box.

The Shapeshifters & Shermanology, “Waiting for You” [Defected]

Self promotion!? Hell yeah! And, quite simply, from the moment we road-tested this track it worked. The Shermans prove they’re ones to watch and deliver a standout vocal.

Jason Chance, “Swizzle Sticks” [Nocturnal Groove]

Jason delivers again. He is fast becoming the producer in everyone’s box. “Swizzle Sticks” keeps his trademark rolling, jacking synths and intelligent grooves. This release is right up there with his best and has been slamming our dancefloors.

DJ Chus, “Best Kept Secret” [Nirvana]

The guys from Urbana are our favorite producers out there at the moment. Been in our box for a while, but this bullet from Chus is on the money and definitely in every set.

Prok & Fitch vs. Todd Terry, “Something’s Going On (Belocca & Soneec Remix)” [Stealth]

Belocca & Soneec give this classic a steroid injection. Their productions sound so dope every time.

Sonny Wharton, “Showtime” [Nocturnal Groove]

Sonny Wharton - Showtime EP : Nocturnal Groove by NocturnalGroove

Probably one of the most prolific producers around at the moment; in our opinion, Sonny is definitely on a fast track to the top and this track just tears the dance floor apart, deep dark and sexy!

Something Good, “Ride” [Nocturnal Groove]

I heard this record once and instantly fell in love with it—so simple but really effective. House music as it’s meant to be, always puts a smile on my face and, more importantly, your audience’s.
