Big, big track right here. "Yeah" finds Angello & Ingrosso (the big room duo behind Buy Now's equally massive "Bodycrash") blending trance vibes with some shuffling house and tribal rhythms, then dusting the whole thing with an infectious piano loop. Only one...

2003 hit from this alias of Manuel Tur. "Your Love" is a thump heavy track with a wicked double-timed bassline. "Wizard-like" comes to mind. Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso, aka Buy, drop an even heavier remix that eventually turns into a...

Holy Shit! "Funk Phenomena" was not nearly the end for Arman. Although he kinda disappeared for a while(Minimal Man and Snackmaster suspect it was to dodge the wave of Ali G projects, cause they look like twins!) here he is...

No, you're not dreaming. This release features Armand Van Helden, Jesse Rose, Radio Slave and... Roxy Cottontail! It seems the infamous queen of the NY club scene has risen past her nursery rhyme rap on Aaron LaCrate's "Blow Remix" and now is...

The most unlikely club hit of 2007. While other producers were hitting the obscure sounds of 80s, Armand Van Helden hit a stroke of genius with this ultimate 80s throwback: part electro, part freestyle, and pure power pop. "I Want Your...

Anytime a dance track gets remixed over 10 times (and each released on 12"), you know it's an anthem. 1996's "Funk Phenomenon" is one of those tracks, one of the most successful blends of house and hip-hop sample (Redman)... it was...

One of the first releases from Matthew Dear's moniker Audion. "Just Fucking" came out originally in 2005 as is a dirty freak of a tech house track complete with grinding bass and electronic beeps to make you lose your head. Also check...

Early tech house EP that set off Matthew Dear's moniker on Spectral. This was originally released in 2005 and laid the first brick in his Spectral discography. Check "Kisses" for a big room sound with huge hoover-like synths to blow the spot....

This is, hands down, the biggest smash hit in the techno world, both now and when it came out last year. You couldn't go ANYWHERE without hearing this song, and for damn good reason. "Mouth To Mouth" could be Audion's Mona Lisa....

"I Found U" was one of the biggest dance hits of 2007 and it only gets biggah. It's just a matter of time when this hits the mainstream via your local radio station or a Bally's gym commercial... it's that appealing. If...

Now this one is an interesting one. I see "OM Records," I look at the cover, I check Bassnectar out on Discogs, and I didn't expect this at all. Totally not my style of music, but I'd freak out if I heard...
