On remix duty, Italian production outfit Daddy's Groove follow up their breakthrough remix of 'Leave The World Behind' with a piano laden production that's set to raise their profile once again.
Sebastien Leger gets his bleepy techno groove on for Dubfire's SCI+TEC Digital Audio imprint.

'Plik Plok' has been one of Dubfire's biggest tunes of the last few months, and after hearing this for yourself, you'll understand why. Sebastien Leger is a hit making machine, and this new one is destined for future techno glory, no doubt about it! You need this one in your sets.
One of Beatport's biggest artists, Wolfgang Gartner, is back with another slamming peak-time electro house cut on his very own Kindergarten imprint. With lashings of French synths and huge kick drums reminiscent of vintage Daft Punk, masterful FX, clever arrangement, and room shaking bass, it's destined to be one of the biggest tunes of the upcoming Winter Music Conference in March. Grab it whilst it's hot! A guaranteed #1 smash hit single.
Luis Junior is the next star of progressive house judging from this superb debut EP for John Digweed's Bedrock label. 'Colache EP' is full of beautiful haunting melodies, clever future-leaning rhythms, and melancholic moments. There's nothing but pure electronic joy on this record. The Film Transitions mix is suitably cinematic, but it's the Third Mix of 'Colache' that is particularly inspiring. 'Colache EP' is a guaranteed winner for those DJs who like to take things into a much more emotive realm.

'Daisy' is the brand new masterpiece from the legendary Sander van Doorn. The first release of 2010 from one of the best DJs in the world is, as you would expect, unbelievably mind-blowing music made for the peak hours. 'Daisy' is one of the most powerful tracks that Sander has ever produced, and it's already getting heavy rotation from his peers Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz to name a few.
