Being hailed as one of today's most talented up and comers, Mavi's work is being heavily supported by everyone's favourite jocks. Part 1 of this EP was hammered by Nick Warren so much that he featured it on his latest Renaissance compilation. Side A, entitled 'Precious', can be categorized as a definite winner by anyone's standards. Filled with deep and seductive groove , this track is a perfect reminder of why we love progressive house music in the first place. The mysterious and enchanting breakdown releases into a hard hitting kick drum that you cant get enough of.The flipside features another "soon to be classic" properly titled "My Dream". Mavi's uncanny arrangements eerie samples and uncompromising hook make this track an instant appeals to house and progressive lovers alike. Further evidence resides in the consistent club and radio play as well as support from Danny Tenaglia.

Latest signing to 3 Beat Music are Duran Genc & Aytek Kurt, discovered by Andy Jarrod on a recent DJ trip to Istanbul. The A-side �Monsoon� is a no holds barred, peak-time monster that should have the Fontaine, Oakie and Fleming fans smiling all the way to the last drop. Not wanting to compromise their obvious talents, the guys have also gone to work on �House Breaking�, an altogether different beast with a much cooler overall feel and a wicked techy hook that creeps up in the first drop. A huge slammer of a groove.

Byte, the label that has brought you massive club crossovers in the past such as 2 Unlimited and Sash, now brings us a smash club crossover. With a strong club package and a fantastic front person, this track is set up to take off for Ibiza this year. It is produced by Eddy Weyns, a leading light in the Belgian dance fraternity and responsible for Dirt Devils - a recent Belgian Number 1. Zippora has been a feature of both the Belgian and Ibizian dance scenes for many years. This is her third single and this one is the one that is set to go off in a very big way. �See the Sun� has been licensed to several territories already and is shaping up to be a European hit this summer.

Melbourne�s Ivan Gough and Luke Chable represent the old and the new of Australia�s burgeoning dance scene. Ivan�s been around for what seems like yonks, with a discography reaching back into the mid nineties under pseudonyms such as Traveller In Motion and The Free Radicals, plus more recent efforts as Deep Funk Project, Dark Alley and Traveller & Quest. Around 2 years ago he joined the ever-growing roster at Zero Tolerance and in that time, Ivan�s tracks have featured on almost every major progressive DJ�s charts. Luke Chable is the new gun from the stable of Zero Tolerance, his as-yet unreleased solo track 'Eat Static' has already graced Nick Warren�s Renaissance 'Revelation' CD and 'Mindstate' got an outing on Dave Seaman�s recent Global Underground 22 release. 'Mindstate' is a haunting tech/tribal slamming track with an energy belying it�s 126 bpm tempo, packed with those lovely sinister chords that work so well in the club. Menacing, yet still very dancefloor-friendly, it�s best enjoyed on a big system with the bass cranked up to full volume. Don�t, whatever you do, overlook 'Beta Proxima 7' on the B-side as this is another worthy addition to any self-respecting DJ's crate.

An old hand at production, Force Mass Motion (aka Polaris) has been in the game for over 10 years now. From the huge selling �Panic� to THAT mix of Adamski�s 'One of the People' to his remix for Fluid�s own Ritmo 'Perfected Technik', Mike Wells has consistently exhibited a pedigree in his work and his many remixes. His production work as Polaris, and noticeably the release of Addicted, has earned him a top reputation, confirmed by the recent top Buzz Chart placement for Force Mass Motion v Dylan Rhymes' 'Hold Back' (Also, Seb Fontaine's VIP tune). A side is a groovy vocal track, perfect for the summer. Sliding synths snuggle cosily along side the lead vocal while an effected vocal stab sneaks in and out of the bouncing bass line � true to what Force Mass Motion / Polaris has defined as his signature sound. The B side is a chunkier approach. A solid kick and a growling bass line lead the tune. Analogue stabs and breathy vocals mingle nicely, building the intensity of the song to a break down that�s guaranteed to grab any dance floor. A sexier take on the original that really works.

Second release on new label Three sees Swedish lad Omar Chelly turn in 2 cool and groovy house numbers that have appealed to a wide range of DJs. First up is the extremely funky �Violet Sky� that uses the vocal sample from the old classic �Phantazia� single. Sure to get attention from all manner of 4/4 DJs. Flip the 12� over to find �Own Love�, a more melodic yet slightly more driving number with an extremely familiar vocal sample and a rather cool mid track breakdown. Both tracks contain strong tech, prog and house elements making this release sure to hit many DJs.

Franchino is one of the most well-known producers from Mauro Picotto�s BXR label. His debut release helped to shape the modern tech-trance sound that is prevalent at all the biggest club events in the UK. He has released �999� and �Ogni Pensiero�, two massive club hits on Nukleuz / BXR that have been supported by Judge Jules, Dave Pearce and the A-list trance players. �Ficha La Caixa� is the new style of tech-house to hit the UK from the legendary BXR stalwart Franchino. The Ficha No Caixa 1 Mix and Instrumental 1 Mix are tough disco funk with twisted techno workouts that features amazing production techniques. The 1 Mix has a catchy Italian vocal hook. The 2 Mix is a more chilled affair with twisted disco loops and tough percussion loops that funk along with a fat guitar that bring about a truly summer vibe that is ready to rock the festivals and outdoor parties.

Kidology is the new label from stalwart house producer Mark Wilkinson, otherwise known for his productions with Rocky (Xpress 2) as Problem Kids. He also ran the label Kidsound, plus the rocking London club night of the same name and is a 1/3 of Defected artists Kidstuff, who are currently doing the rounds again with their stunning track �Alright�.

Majestic 12 return to the ever developing house label, Phenomenal. After previous successes, the label has gained momentum and the duo who have had tracks out with Subliminal, Credence and Distinctive to name but a few are back with a scorcher of a 2 track EP in good time for the summer months. The Majestic lads add their special, unique flavour to some twisted disco loops and beats and Eric Morillo has stated �Each release on this label just gets better and better, these boys are hot!�

Who are the Riot Bros? I hear you ask�. Well by listening to these tracks you could easily mistake them for German producers or the almighty DJ Scott Project or even S.H.O.K.K. In fact the Riot Bros are two lads from Beverley of all places and they are only 17 and 20 years old. On this, their first outing in a Tidy shirt, the two youngsters serve up 2 tasty morsels that have already been getting massive acclaim on the tidy.com message board. �Ripped Out� is the leading light on this release: it builds really well throughout, using a memorable vocal sample as the lead before the riff comes in during the breakdown, turning this track into a future Tidy anthem. It has already been used on the Forthcoming Tidy FC Annual as well as the forthcoming Extreme Euphoria album mixed by Lisa Lashes. �My Star Control� is another quality track leading with fast moving stabs to the breakdown, which is where the real fun starts. A catchy riff takes over, layered with mad vocals making this a quality side in anyone�s books.

Nukleuz Records was the number one selling 12" label in 2001 and aims to do the same in 2002. Darren Styles has released over fifty 12� records during his 9-year history as a producer. As one half of hardcore outfit Force & Styles he reached the peak of his scene at the age of 22 with a radio show on Kiss Fm and a coveted Essential Mix on Radio One. Four years later he is set to make waves with his unique brand of high-octane pumping trance on Nukleuz Records. Black Magic is a distinctive production that fuses turbo-charged trance melody with German style beats and a unique full male vocal refrain. This 12� delivers the choice of both a full vocal and an instrumental mix - pumping hard trance that�ll do the damage on both underground and mainstream dancefloors! It is is Darren Styles� first solo release but comes hot on the heels of his remixes of the massive Taiko �Silence� (of which his is the main new remix) and Vinylgroover & The Red Hed's �Everlasting�.

Guy Williams, one of London's fastest rising DJs, returns with his first production in 2 years. After leaving Defected six months ago, Guy has been busy in the studio recording new material and this is his first single for Southeast. The A-side, �Dirty Den�, is a funky slice of underground house with a big b-line that has already found its way onto Danny Rampling�s and Lottie's Radio 1 shows and has also featured twice as one of Ali B's 'Six Of The Best' on Capital Radio. South Coast�s Power FM also made this their �Single of the Week� courtesy of DJ Martin Metcalf. The flipside, �Hooked�, takes the groove a bit deeper with a more tribal and percussive feel.

Fat City Recordings have become known for representing a whole host of musical genres; uncovering back catalogue classics whilst commissioning the freshest of productions from future heavyweight producers. It also attempts to represent the culture behind Fat City which includes the Fat City Record shop (circa 1993 ) and the clubs they�ve run over the past 10 years in the UK and across Europe. This EP is a sampler of 'The Fat City Sound', the next installment of Fat City Recordings� respected Mystic Brew series. It covers many bases, blending the deep, funky, minimal disco grooves of Martin Brew with the jazzy organic club hiphop of Substantial, the uptempo original party funk of Reuben Bell to the downbeat quirkiness of Gripper.

The first in a three part 12� series of remixes taken from the CD compilation, 'Ralph Lawson presents 20:20 Revision'. Three 20:20 artists are remixed by some of the hottest producers in the world at the moment. Bobby Peru is a label artist who has undertaken a campaign for global domination. His recent album �Death Of A Player�, outlined his undoubted talent and the accompanying �I Can't Wait� and �It Ain't Where You're From� singles caused serious dancefloor damage. Techno guru Valentino Kanzyani has provided a quality remix that has already found favour with Tong on Radio One. Label stalwarts Fred Everything and Urban Farmers need no introduction to most 20:20 regulars and indeed the remixes here from Audio Soul Project (NRK) and the 6400 Crew are not to be missed. Top quality house music, which is a clear indication of the wealth of talent at 20:20 and their indisputable rise in 2002.
