“I’m hot for you / What you gonna do?”
Everyones favourite PMR collaboration duo are back together! For the latest release from Julio Bashmore his label wife Jessie Ware provides the vocals. After a little bit of a dry spell in the instant club classic camp, Bashmore has hit back hard with this one, an absolute monster.
Elli Ingram and her producer Felix Joseph have a knack for reworking tracks that most can only dream of. Following the success of ‘Poetic Justice’ its the turn of a double whammy next, Chance The Rapper’s ‘Cocoa Butter Kisses’ and T-Pain’s ‘I’m Hi’.
Stunning, as expected.
“So WORK IT, don’t hurt it / Don’t hurt it, JUST WORK IT”
For those who like a more solid beat to their disco, enter Route 94, whose rework of Skream & Sam Frank’s massive summer tune will be right up your street.
“I knew just what I had to be when I heard you say what you said to me”
One of the biggest dance hits of the year so far gets a little touch up from one of the smoothest producers around at the moment. Karma Kid does what he does best and delivers a instantly refreshing take on a tune we’ve rinsed the hell out of.
Last night, Annie Mac made her welcome return to Radio 1 and with her she brought some pretty sick tune premieres. One of which came from relatively unknown London boy Lxury, yet another ridiculously young and talented producer. Uplifting and sounding classic already, this ones going to be on heavy rotation.
“And then when you saw I felt the same / You pulled away”
Just when you thought BANKS’ sound couldn’t get anymore seductive, shes back with the London EP which is perfection from start to finish. ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ is a devastatingly perfect representation of longing and disappointment, all delivered with her recognisable sultry tone. Stunning.
“Yeah, I might seem so strong / Yeah, I might speak so long / I’ve never been so wrong”
Sometimes the simplest of touches can provide the most successful outcomes. ‘Strong’ is a heavily remixed tune with producers in pretty much every electronic genre wanting a piece of Hannah Reid’s heavenly vocal range. For me though, Shadow Child’s effort is the clear winner, staying true to the track, keeping its haunting pauses yet going all out on the beat.
“In your arms of love you kept me warm / It was all I wanted”
Determined for ‘Jack’ to not be his only dabble in mainstream success, Breach is back with this absolute smash, incredible bassline, classy drop, old school dance vibes and a stunner of a vocal. If this doesn’t equal the success of ‘Jack’ I’ll be very surprised.
SOUND MOUND
