Here Come The Drums

Mark Sherry and Dr Willis [Detox Re...

Scotland’s Mark Sherry [a] and Australia’s Dr Willis is definitely one of the more long distance studio partnerships going.

These two larger than life characters were never likely to produce something average or subtle in design, and so it proved when they wrote the raw and rugged tech trance number ‘Feel The Drums’.

The Producers Series Sampler EP

Paul Maddox [Tidy Trax]

As a teaser for the forthcoming Paul Maddox [a] artist album, Tidy Trax release ‘The Producers Series Sampler EP’ that features no fewer than four new productions from this talented young producer.

Biofilter

OD404 [Flash Point Records]

Flash Point are in the leading pack of UK hard house labels continually pushing new music, but here they take a rare look back at a classic track from yesteryear with a new remix of OD404 [a] ‘Biofilter’.

The original was first available on OD404’s own Kaktai label way back in 1998 and took the underground scene by storm at the time, so it’s with some degree of expectation that we look out for dancefloor reactions to this update.

The London EP

Jon Rundell [HardAsFunk]

Former Intec Records label manager Jon Rundell [a] continues his impressive development as a producer in his own right with this four track EP on Paul Janes’ HardAsFunk label that sits somewhere on the boundary of techno and hard dance.

Blue Records presents Hard House and Hard Club 1

Various Artists [Mid-Town Records]

Blue Records landed in the 1990s and left a massive impact with the sounds of leading Dutch producers such as Klubbheads [a], Lock N Load [a] and the delightfully named Itty Bitty Boozy Woozy [a].
