The first mix is the original licenced mix from abroad that surfaced last year and destroyed the likes of Dance Valley, Impulz and HQ largely thanks to Yoji Biomenhanaka. The hot remix has been kept top secret, so secret that the person who has done it cannot be named, but rest assured the artist is huge! It keeps all the original flavour but makes for a more dancefloor friendly tune by throwing in a few twists and turns along the way. Y2K come up trumps one more and get these while you can as they are strictly limited and after they are gone, that�s it.

The third and final part of this special album release .A-side, �Horny� is a luverly bit of trance/hoover action cross over. Dirty synths and filtered chords swell over the light acid, then the Weirdo One changes tack with sparse staccato hoovers and back to the grubby squelchiness of the opening. The AA , �Too Deep� belts along at an unrelenting pace, banging it out and ripping it up fast & furious for those essential last track of the night dancefloor moments.

In the four years since The Crystal Method released its debut album, Vegas, the members of the Los Angeles electronic music duo have barely had a moment to come up for air. Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan spent two years on the road, headlining and joining the line-ups of some seriously eclectic tours (Family Values, Community Service, The Electric Highway). They played to everyone from baggy-short wearing kids in Midwestern warehouses to influential fashion designers at a Versace show in Milan, Italy and their music appeared on major motion picture soundtracks (Spawn, South Park, Lost In Space) and video game scores (Nitrous Oxide). Meanwhile, Vegas rapidly became a worldwide best seller. The group spent most of its time plotting, conceptualizing and recording a new album at the Bomb Shelter -- the studio they built in the two-car garage of their Glendale, California house nearly a decade ago. The result of their efforts is called Tweekend, and it sets out to scramble what everyone thought they knew about The Crystal Method. The bass-fortified, hard-rolling techno concoctions will still get the club kids moving, while the muscular hip-hop beats and fluid funk melodies have been beefed up with an array of loud-and-soft rock dynamics. "This one is definitely a darker, more patient, more sparse album," Jordan says. "It has bite." It's a direction that was only hinted at with blockbuster singles like "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do" and "Busy Child." Tweekend takes everything that is great about Vegas and makes it even better.

'Demons' reared its ugly head at the beginning of 2001 and was hammered by the likes of The Tidy Boys, Nick Rafferty, Lisa Pin Up and Lee Haslam to name a few. The original track is heavily influenced by the German and Dutch sound that is crossing over the water into the UK and rocking the likes of Gatechrasher and Gods Kitchen largely thanks to DJ Scott Project. The Spacecorn mix from Sweden, famous for their Axel F interpretation on 69 records, is an uplifting affair and is sure to set any dancefloor alight when a peak time anthem is required. The club trance mix fits in with the current underground sound and is already being caned Dave Pearce, Judge Jules and Nick Rafferty.

Part 2 of the excellent follow up package to 1993�s classic 'Forerunner' from NBG. 'Forerunner' has been responsible for the international success of NBG with every single DJ caning the track from Carl Cox to Judge Jules. NBG Recordings is one of Holland�s quality house labels that is known for its rare frequency on releases and its supreme results on each. Deep and Dark grooves and supreme quality from Holland�s finest.

Scott Mac has been DJing and producing for more than 10 years. He started out as a clubby producer but in the last few years he got more and more involved in tech house with a twist of progressive. He previously released tracks on labels such as Outland/Spiritual and Jinx. His long history of producing and dj-ing has made him a name as a highly experienced producer. This time he has combined forces with co-producer UXB Profile is a massive tech tune which goes on and on. Combined with intruding synths this track should keep the crowd moving. Swell has some retro parts in it and is produced more in the range of Lil' Louis' "French Kiss".

Good As return after a lengthy hiatus, but it's a return to form with this storming track that has now been signed to Serious and is only available in a limited run. Murto is a massive slice of breakbeat with a motivating piano drop has been caned by Judge Jules on Radio 1 for 5 Weeks in a row and was a �Tried and Tested� tune on the first week! It has also had major support from Pete Tong and DJ Tiesto has also been spinning the track in Miami, whilst Armin Van Buuren and Ferry Corsten have also given it the thumbs up. The flip side 'Rokki', is also strong in its own right and finding favour with DJs who are too scared to venture into the world of breakbeat.

Feature artist and former Twilo resident, Sean Cusick comes back with a follow up record that tops his original Viscous release Karate Porn / Paradiso Obscuro. Well known for his production work with Jimmy van M and DJ Three (Chris Milo / Hallucination) as Second Hand Satellites, Sean is proving to be not only a stand out DJ but a sought after producer. �Consider the Ravens� is an intense, deep dark musical journey picking up where Twilo left off. The track has already been licensed to Dave Seaman�s �Consider the Ravens� Global Underground CD. �CB Radio� is a tripped out, psychedelic track perfect for the dance floor with an ambient mix that compliments the original, ideal for 'back to mine' or sunny days in Ibiza.

Taken from the forthcoming album 'Urban Anthems' (out on 27th of May) this is the first new material in a while from our main man K90. Chosen to represent and introduce the release of his new album, 'Breathe' is probably his best production to date, and rightly so. With a seriously infectious vocal, and trademark killer riffs, K90 has once again demonstrated his natural talent for quality productions and dancefloor appeal.The A side features a classic remix from superstar Frantic DJ Phil Reynolds and his studio partner Steve Blake. Distinctively aimed at those who like it had and fast, they succeed in taking all the main elements from the original and at the same time toughing them up to come up with an excellent re-working worthy of their reputation. Already included in the seminal compilations 'Frantic' and 'Reactivate Energized', this has been getting plays and support from all the main players: Farley, Ed Real, Tom Harding, Trevor Reilly, Phil Reynolds and Steve Blake.

Dutch producer Katana is no stranger to success. When first released, 'Fancy Fair' climbed all the way to number one in the dance chart in Holland. Now set to be released in the UK with two new extra remixes, this has already earned plays and support from all the biggest Dutch DJs: Ferry, Tiesto, Marco V and Armin. New remixes come courtesy of Dutch producer supreme Mac Zimms and current 'It' DJ resident DJ Albert (also responsible for the currently massive 'Say Yes' with studio partner Precision).

'Dive' has this uniquely deep, throbbing style in which Mark moulds house and trance into a new twisted formula � this is truly beautiful stuff. Mo Shic & Zidan are without doubt THE biggest production duo to emerge out of Israel so far. They have had two releases on Plastic Fantastic�s sister label Plastica to huge acclaim. Their tracks were licensed to some of 2001�s biggest compilations including Lee Burridge�s Nu Breed CD, Jimmy Van M�s Bedrock CD and Danny Howell�s �Nocturnal Transmissions� series. With their third single due for imminent release and DJ tours world wide, their profile is gaining strength day by day.

'Turn Up The Sound' is the first time that three formats have been simultaneously released because this is the strongest production from Lisa to date! As with all of her records on Nukleuz, this release fuses a catchy vocal hook with an infectious melody that makes her productions stand head and shoulders above the rest. Coming complete with three remixes, this top level package has broad appeal for those who like to dance.

As Shmoo, Shmuel, Ilan and Reuven Flaishler showcase the high standards of production currently coming out of Israel with two devastating cuts of real dark, driving intensity. �Sophisticated� is a dark and twisted number taking its inspiration from the effect of the horror films the brothers watched as kids. �Afro Doom�, produced close to 'Sophisticated' takes the same mood and brings it closer to earth with a devastating vocal and tribal rhythms. Shmoo (aka the Flash Brothers) have exploded to the forefront of the progressive house scene far beyond their native Israel onto the global scene itself. Israel is rapidly revealing a huge wealth of undiscovered talent in house music and it was not until the release of 'The Day After' / 'Megatron' on Perfecto last year that Shmoo came to prominence. Far from exhibiting sibling rivalry however, their immense passion for production has brought the three brothers to the forefront of the global dance scene with a relentless schedule of remixing and production, including past and forthcoming work with Bedrock and Black records.

The Terranova story begins in Germany in the mid�eighties, when a young Berliner named Fetisch caught a dose of the American hip hop bug sweeping its way across Europe. He embarked on a journey of discovery to New York city which would lay the foundations for the production outfit Terranova. Fetisch spent the next few years making his name as a DJ in the big apple. A Network of like minded producers soon sprouted up around Fetisch and subsequent trips to London led to the beginning of long lasting friendships with the likes of the Stereo MCs. He hooked up the band with vocalist Cath Coffey, and then produced 'Axis' and 'Motherman' for the MCs. This spirit of collaboration was to become a characteristic feature of Terranovas work in the forthcoming years and this album stands as a testimony to that ethic, featuring appearances by the MCs' very own Cath Coffey (Turn Around, Midnight Melody and Sweet Bitter Love), label mate Rasco (X-files) Trickey (Bombing Bastards), Coco Crebitz (a regular in the collective these days) and Alexander Hacke from krautock supremos Einsturrzebde Neubaten and manual Goettsching. The musical spectrum encompassed by Terranova especially throughout their debut long�player, and now with the second, truly defies any definition, but it can certainly be said that no German act, bar Kraftwerk, has made its mark internationally in quite such a matter.
