DBN ft. Madita - Asteroidz (Sharam's Crazi Jazz remix) [Fresco]
DBN a mash-up of three artists, musicians and dj’s which are disposed to rough up the worlds electronic scene. With their musical background and experience of djing for over 15 years they started together to produce own tracks in 2004. The unique sound is only one reason why their tracks get very well received through out the industry and the crowd on the dance floor all over the world. After creating a monstrous buzz at the Winter Music Conference 'Asteroidz' is well on its way to becoming the summer anthem of 2009.

Slated for release this spring, these remixes of 'Asteroidz' are guaranteed to offer something for every DJ and are without a doubt post-Miami essentials!



Made By Monkeys ft. Darcy Conroy - I Think Of You (Dui Da Silva mix) [KULT]
Made By Monkeys might seem like an outlandish moniker to record under, but rest assured the duo of Astrochimp and M Keys has the musical chops to call themselves whatever they like and get away with it. "This identity gives us the creative freedom only a monkey could experience" explains Astrochimp, a rather well-spoken simian. Both met at school, presumably the NASA Space Program, at a very early age and have been producing music ever since. Astrochimp handles the drum programming, mixing and engineering and M Keys is the keyboard prodigy who wrote his first composition at the age of five. Indeed, the monkeys have taken over the zoo... They have a live explosive performance much like Daft Punk, and the Chemical Brothers that must be seen.

Lokitas - Indifference (original remix) [Pitch Music]
Hi. We are the project from Moscow consisting of two persons. Our title has appeared as a result of Loki and Kit pseudonyms combination. Certainly, we like how Luke Fair works, but the name of the project is not concerned with his unconditionally perfect track. We listen, mix, compose and collect music. Its direction is hard to describe, that's a complex, a mix of various house music styles, which is interesting to us, not simple and filled with saturated, harmonious and beautiful sound. We are doing our best while selecting most suitable works in our compilations for creating correct mood. The song featured on Matt’s set today is “Indifference”; the seconskin remix. - Lokitas




Martin Roth ft. Bartlett Bros - Losing Gravity (Sonny Wharton remix) [Lunatique]

The musical background of Martin Roth, theborn classically trained piano professional originates from 80s Wave heroes like Depeche Mode, having his first club culture experiences in the 90s with Sven Vth and his label imprints EyeQ & Harthouse where he fell in love with electronic dance music. In keeping with his obsessive love of music - spanning punk, industrial/new wave, pop, house and techno - Martin set out to push the musical boundaries and challenges the dance scene's preconceptions by going back to his roots resulting in being constantly ahead of the game feeding underground as well as mainstream interest. Moving to Berlin marked a decisive turning-point in his career. The Martin Roth debut artist album is about to be released in 2009


Taito Tikaro, J.Louis & Ferran - Shine On Me (Robbie Rivera remix) [NEWS]
Taito Tikaro, J.Louis &  Ferran may not all be familiar household names yet, but that’s only because they are legends of Ibiza that never needed to leave. They have a style that just makes you want to dance. A hard grooving, deep pumping dance that just screams for celebration. If you enjoy this track, also check out “Burning Inside”. It’s ridiculously good. Then you’ll see why Spain wanted to keep these guys for themselves and why Nocturnal Radio would like to share them with the rest of the world.

Heatcliff & Barnes - Pyjamaparty (original mix) [Navida]
Loving this new release from Navida records. Barnes & Heatcliff lock horns in the studio and the outcome is this impressive release named Pyjamaparty. This track is a slow progressive building track. Big breakdown then back into main room action. Psychedelic to the max. Brace yourself for the awesome analogue action going on in the buildup, this is a big tune!

Saeed Younan - Kumbalha (Sergio Fernandez remix) [Younan Music]
A native of Washington DC (from a middle-eastern descent), Younan grew up listening to a variety of ethnic music. As a result, his musical sound resonates with percolating beats and sonic grooves. His production have been dubbed “timeless” by top DJs and even referred to as a “change of heart for dance music.” His vision is clear, yet simply stated: “I just want people to enjoy my music as much as I enjoy playing it for them.”

David Weed & RPO - Industry Part 2 (original mix) [Audio Logic]
Mexican duo David Weed & Rick Pier O'neil in new progressive techno release for Tribal Vision titled, “Industry part 2”. This track will surprise you as it starts off with a  very minimalistic feel,  but then surprisingly changes direction. After the climax, it returns back to a  minimal techno feel again, but this time with the addition of a raw tribal beat.

Jerome Isma-Ae - Smile When You Kill Me (original mix) [Jee Productions]
This next track is what I’m talking about! Jerome Isma-Ae has outdone himself with this gem. “Smile When You Kill Me” is energetic, driving, and contains some impressive breakdowns. No wonder it’s one of Matt’s all time favorite progressive records.
