Akadoma "Slightly Forward" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.SAW010
Those of you familiar with the label Plastic Fantastic should be well aware of a record entitled 'Dive' by Madoka. This release gave Madoka a lot of attention in the eyes of DJs and fans across the world. For Saw, he has produced a track called 'Slightly Forward' under the alias Akodama. An overwhelmingly warm bass line, an eerie female roboto-type voice, tons of percussion and one of a kind sounds join forces to create a track that heats up the speakers and gets hands in the air. This track has been receiving much play from Anthony Pappa, Trendroid and 3 Beat�s Andy Jarrod. On the Flip Side of this record is an intense remix by Trendroid. Their remix of 'Slightly Forward' is a deep, trancey yet every bit as bangin version of Akodama's main mix. They've managed to incorporate all the elements of the original and present them in such a way that the track is a totally different experienceeach time you hear it. It bangs, it grooves, it teases, it's got it all.

Champion Burns "Space Flight" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.PH02
Champion Burns make their debut performance on a brand new house imprint and it certainly does not disappoint. Having previously scored numerous releases with Nukleuz and now with up and coming tracks for Tidy Trax, the dynamic duo sink their teeth into Phenomenal. Continuing in the same vein from the previous Majestic 12 release, the track takes on the form of a twisted, funked-up affair. The mix is full of quirky sounds and funky twists and will literally leave you in a spin. So much so that Eric Morillo has specifically stated �this is hot, you should have seen this in Miami, it took the roof off, nice and refreshing�. With support like that from one of the kings of funk, the label will continue to grow and grow.

Lee James "Afterlife" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.12HPOT17
This record marks a new direction for both the label and artist. Each Honey Pot release over the coming months will feature a more commercial track on one side and the usual cutting edge Honey Pot style on the other. On this release the commercial mix is the original Lee James version, and big euphoric UK trance is the order of the day. The underground mix comes from Paul Glazby, who bangs it out in a hard trance NRG style. Lee James has become a firm favorite over the past year with the hard house and hard trance scene, and has found himself in the record boxes of all the main players, and on all the major compilations. Paul Glazby is with out a doubt man of the moment on the harder scene, and on this 12 he comes up with one of his best remixes to date. Big, banging, bold and in ya face.

Ricky Le Roy "One Day'" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.BXRP0411
BXR storming the world once again! Having knocked heads last year with the awesome �All The Way� and �Taureg�, BXR stalwart Ricky Le Roy delivers a sucker punch with his latest offering �One Day�. This is set to be Ricky�s biggest release to date with 2 mixes that simply light up any dance floor with awesome lead synth hooks and driving techno loops. Already an anthem at Slinky, Gatecrasher and Godskitchen. The Big Bass mix has a swirling deep bassline with uplifting synth stabs that lift and drive the track along with a searing kickdrum and clean techno percussion. The Le Roy mix is more industrial sounding with clear pearcing percussion building in and out of techno drops, resulting in a fine tuned tech-trance monster.

Alan Pullen "1, 2, 3, Kick It'" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.BABYDOLL004
"Propelled by a bassline that swallows the room, �1,2,3, Kick It� sucks you in with an infectious vocal loop and frisky stabs, easing in emotive strings that soar in its lengthy and gargantuan centrepiece, before climaxing in walls of throbbing, string-soaked bliss. Forget the cold shower, because one twist of the wrist later and �Ilogik�s Elasticman Records Remix� is banging away harder and faster." So says Muzik Magazine about the storming second single from Alan Pullen on Baby Doll Records, the follow-up to his huge club anthems �Go Insane� and �Whiplash�. Alan Pullen is one of Ireland�s busiest DJs, an affable tastemaker with his finger firmly on the pulse. �1,2,3, Kick It� is set to bolster his growing international reputation: it�s a full-on epic with a gargantuan breakdown that�s been caned by the lucky few with acetates. The remix comes from man-of-the-moment Ilogik, currently on fine form with a string of smashes on his Elasticman and Ilogikal Breaks labels, not to mention others like Vicious Circle. His excellent �1,2,3� remix is respectful to the original, and features an equally monstrous breakdown.

Sabre "High Tide'" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.DEST05
As Destiny continue to make inroads on the prog scene with a fresh approach to the music, it�s clear they mean business. This release is full of sweeping basses, effected stabs and quirky loops. It�s a moody, dark affair that has all the qualities of what is currently lacking in the scene. The production is faultless and it just oozes quality. Great support on Radio 1 from Fontaine and on Kiss by Tall Paul and is currently being played on word tours by Fortier, Pearce and Manston. This is music for the masses.

Sidekick "Tricks" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.APPA004
The fourth release on Appalooso has been produced by a debuting artist who goes by the name of Greg Patterson. Greg started his musical life as a studio tech head producing dance and hip hop acts in Liverpool before moving back to his native Manchester where he began writing his own tunes which lean towards the dirtier end of house music. His debut single is �Tricks�, a non stop floor-filling collage of hooky riffs and head twisting production - it looks set to be Appalooso�s biggest hitter to date with early support coming from Seb Fontaine, Fergie, Tall Paul, Boy George and Brandon Block.

Various "Freakaboom Sampler 3" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.FRKCDV003
Databass steps up with his first A-Side release since his ground-breaking debut of a couple of years ago and judging by the reviews these tracks have had from the CD, he's back with another quantum leap in production. With steady remix work, a DJ schedule that will see him at dates all over the UK and Europe as part of the Boomtronics tour, not to mention running this here label - Databass keeps kickin' it up a notch. Hedrock Valley Beats also make their welcome return to Freakaboom with a tuff bass monster that is going to surprise a few people.

This one puts them right back into peak time and once again - one of the tracks on the Compilation that is constantly raved about. Sheethanger have gone from strength to strength since their debut on Freakaboom with releases on Forged, Plastic Raygun and In-Flight.

Vinylcoup "Bang Goes The Drum" Released 20.05.02 Cat No.THM042
Following up on the success of their last release, Vinylcoup have created a unique E.P to further confirm their rising status as producers of new ideas within the hard house genre. The A side �Bang Goes the Drum� is a stomping track with a dirty, rude bassline that contradicts itself with its bouncy riff. This track is different from most in that it appears at first to be quite dark but emerges as an uplifting track full of energy. Clever little fills have been delicately sprinkled all over to create this ear-sweetner. The AA side �Ladies and Gentleman� is sure to appeal to the masses. Its �big-room� build-up is not only highly imaginitive but retains the feel-good factor now expected from these Londoners in every release. It has a cheeky vocal that will put a smile to everyone�s face and is guaranteed to wind any party up to an excitable frenzy. With the killjoy pundits continually claiming that hard house is on the way out, Vinylcoup are laughing in their faces with this release and it�s extremely difficult not to laugh with them.
