Base Graffiti have enjoyed success on Tripoli Trax, Casa Dura and now add their imprint to Kaktai. The original mix is full of funk hard house and it's a well thought out piece of music. Everything has been arranged in such a clever way that you do not realize the amount of sounds that are actually being used until you really, really listen. This track chugs along at a slower pace to the usual stomping beats and is refreshing to hear. On the flip, Kaktai have enlisted the help of man of the moment, Paul Glazby to add his magic touch and he certainly doesn�t disappoint. From start to finish this is nothing but brutal, hard, underground and driving. Glazby uses all the main elements of the original and fuses them into something that sounds completely different.

Madoka is New York based Mark Venneri who should be familiar with many of you for his work on London�s Plastic Fantastic label and Satoshi Tomiie�s Saw Recordings. This is his 3rd release on his own label �Private Reality� and his follow up to the superb �Coppola�. �Mass� on the A side is a beautiful melodic piece of house music with strings that wash perfectly over you. �Broadband� is a deeper tech house track that will get hammered earlier on in sets. Mark is also about to release �Slightly Forward� on Saw Recordings under his Akodoma alias and with another 2 singles scheduled for release on Private Reality, 2002 should be the year he finally receives the recognition he deserves.

When Immure was originally released two years ago the label were contacted on the day of release by the Ministry of Sound to license it for the forthcoming Heavy Duty compilation. It quickly gained popularity with DJs and clubbers and due to constant harassment from people offering to swap their gran for a copy, the label thought they would re-release it. The original mix grinds along at relenting pace and stamina. Hard and uncompromising makes this a crowd pleaser every time and the euphoric trance riff is simply unforgettable. The remix continues in a similar vein, but with added effects and stabs.

'Watch This' is certainly an appropriate title for this track. Scott Mac has had may successful releases to his name. Here, he checks in with a clubby, tech-house track which always gets great feedback from the audience when played in the clubs as the song is inspired by Andre Michelle�s A-2, released a couple of years ago. With two strong remixes from: DJ Montana (fast rising Dutch techno / techhouse DJ responsible for �Bride in the Park� & �Jazzmin�) and Mac Zimms (famous for his releases on BPM), this track definitely guarantees a screaming crowd, begging for more.

Known for diversity and quality, Ovum has released groundbreaking records by Wink, Supernatural, King Britt, Pete Moss and more. D�Julz is a world-renowned DJ and an up & coming producer, with releases on 20:20 Vision and Maya (with Joeski). On the A-side, D�Julz smacks it down with this bleepy bouncing tune that features acid loopiness at its best. The omnipotent male vocal exalts the 808, inspiring all the clubbers to join in the tweeky debauchery. The track�s tight and clean production guarantees to slam the bass in the club making it a sure fire anthem. The driving, big club sound of the the B-side shows that �Acid Tricks� is even better the second time around, now under the skillful manipulation of Marino Berardi. A more techy, less acidic track, with echoing bells that provide a bubbling buildup that�s as ascerbic as it is relentless. The track is already licensed to D�Julz Boxes Mix CD on React and Underwater Episode 1.

Atlantic Ocean's 'Waterfall' was a big UK hit in 1993 and 1996 (reaching No. 21 in the national chart) and reached No. 2 in Holland in 1994. Here we have the second part of the remix package - a commercial ATB remix, a mad techno mix from Spacekid aka Uli Poeppelbaum remix and a loungy mix from Scott Bells. Pegasus Records was founded in 1992 and has released some classic tracks: 'Jazz Energy', 'Don�t You Need', Disco Anthem � 'Scream', plus current releases from Bob Ltd. and DJ Peran.

The original is dark and techy tribal house layered with soul searching vocals of the highest quality. Both moving and seductive, the deep vox proves to be more than delightful. The flipside offers Lemon 8�s sexier and unpredictable interpretation. Harry�s remix is subtly hypnotic and supreme on all accounts. His filtered effects and heavy beats never let up and will have you shouting for more.The track has been licensed to Satoshi Tomiie�s 'Nu Breed' (Global Underground-Boxed Compilation.)

The original mix is a dark, pulsating beauty. It opens with catchy analogue stabs and develops with tight beats into a gentle vocal sample and an underlying riff. Remixers, Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson, who live and thrive in the city of Malmoe in southern Sweden, are by no means newcomers on the electronic dancemusic scene. They have for 5 years produced and released on most major trance labels under the name Son Kite. Their first album, released in December 1999, marked a new era for trance / psytrance with a much deeper and progressive view on what underground dancefloors should shake their asses to. Since then there has been a constant development regarding both sound and production which has resulted in an international acknowledgement and the title 'innovative' has been a trademark. Here, Minilogue deliver a monstrous peaktime mix on the flip, with their trademark percussion0-led beats, pounding bassdrum and tom combo�s and a growling sub bass line. It builds beautifully into the main break, a floating, twisting, analogue arp, accompanied by the vocal and lead riff and then wham, back down to earth with the pounding finish. �Don�t Expect Me..� is licensed to ANDY JARROD�S � EXTREMA 2002 compilation.

Featuring in this years DJ Mag Top 50 most popular DJs poll and winning the energyuk.net producer of the year for three years in a row, it�s safe to say that BK is one of the best-loved artists on the hard dance scene. He regularly spins at clubs like Slinky, Sundissential, Naughty But Nice, Insomniacz and Frantic and will be appearing at the Godskitchen and Creamfields festivals this summer. He has produced countless anthems for Nukleuz and Tidy Trax including the entire Hard Beat series of EP�s, but this is only the third ever BK solo outing on Nukleuz. The A-side is absolutely storming, anthemic, riff-based hard house with a monster hook from the mind of the most popular producer within the scene. Remixer, DJ Energy is from Switzerland and is also known as S.H.O.K.K. His recent production �Excelsis� is licensed to Nukleuz Green and supported by Judge Jules & Fergie on import. His remix is euphoric, up-tempo, summertime trance with a massive hook and a harder edge. �Revolution� has been licensed to Nukleuz presents Hard Trance (Virgin Records) and Extreme Euphoria mixed by Lisa Lashes (Telstar)

Groovy house 4-tracker by Mac Zimms on Spinnin. Tech-house and filtered house on the A, with funky house & breakbeat house on the flip.

Good side is a very strong interpretation of today�s sound of hard house and who better than to to remix it than the heavy weight and future champion of our genre: Andy Farley and Guyver. Andy Farley dishes out one of his best remixes in ages with a dark and dangerous journey using strong percussion, pumpin� kicks and a riff that makes this mix one of the most evil things you have ever heard. On the flip we have Guyver; who is actually Guy Mearns from the Riot Bros. He serves up his version German style using quirky leads and cuts and at the same time using the vocal to great effect before that riff comes in and finishes you off! All in all another solid release for Tidy. Judge for yourself!

The man behind the explosion of hard trance onto the scene makes his debut performance for Fevah. Reynolds' previous exploits include numerous collaborations with Nick Sentience and Mark Richardson for Nukleuz and with Steve Blake for Tripoli Trax and Impact. Phil has single handedly pioneered this sound from his now world-renowned residency at Frantic and all over the world. The two tracks featured are actually a tribute to a friend of his for his legendary house parties at the end of the weekend. Both are what you come to expect from someone at the forefront of his scene. 'Crackin On' is a full on energetic number with whispery trance riffs to leave you in a daze. On the flip 'Back To Abs' is much in the same vein but less energetic, giving you the scope to be able to play this record at any time of the night.

Funky tribal tech-house from this brand new talent from the Spinnin stable. Another massive dancefloor anthem for the summer! Already licensed to a forthcoming MOS compilation.

After the success of the last release �Paulo Tomei� - �The Getout�, Purpose Records are proud to unveil a release from an artist Mr C has described as �the hardest working producer on the circuit�. Tony Thomas has released tracks on many of the most well respected labels around e.g. Soma, Honchos, The End, Eukatech and Tango to name but a few. The original mix is a deep gritty little number of a house tune that chugs along until THE BASSLINE drops�what a monster! You can expect the same well produced beats and rhythms as previous releases but the label thinks this release will outshine all before. However, you ain�t heard nothing till you flip it over and check out what truly is a stunning remix from breaks pioneer Dylan Rhymes. Fresh from his successful partnership with Meat Katie on Whole 9 Yards, they produced the awesome track �Moist� which has sold well over 5000 copies to date. This remix has been included on Meat Katie�s new mix CD �Beyond the Darkness�.

Topaz make their debut on the house label that keeps going form strength to strength. This release continues much in the same vein as warms you up for the summer months ahead. With major DJ support from the heavy weights continuing and building a storm in the States. This release provides an alternative to the previous filtered funk, adding its own interpretation of twisted filtered disco house. The uniqueness of these two tracks is the appeal and are gaining instant respect from the likes of Morillo and Tenaglia for pushing the label forward.

OTR keep up the run of quality releases with this tasty hard trance classic. DJ Harry is the alter ego of DJ Garry, the man behind the huge remix of �Something About You� by The Act, one of the biggest tracks of the last few years, and the recent massive chart hit �Dream Universe�. This track updates the sound he created in his �Something About You� remix to work on today�s most demanding dancefloors. The production quality is fantastic, as you would expect from one of Belgium�s leading producers. The individual elements come in one by one to gradually build up the excitement, until the break where the sharp trance riff builds and builds until it drops into an earthshaking bass that will rock any dancefloor to its foundations. DJ Harry�s Noisy Mix adds a cheeky vocal and some subtle changes to the original to make a useful and effective alternative mix.

Junior�s been on a bit of a roll recently to say the least! Kicking of with the massive Fatboy favourite C-Mos in April, this was swiftly followed by the Tenaglia/Miami anthem Minimal Funk �Definition of House� which blew up absolutely everywhere and ended up a definite Junior classic. Following this, Junior was honoured by Kevin Saunderson�s awesome E-Dancer mix of last year�s anthem: Dirty �Dirty�. The techno bandwagon continues with another track that has once again blown up into a monster � Foremost Poets �Moonraker�. �Please do not be alarmed�.� indeed! Next up is a big fuck off club number by Love Powder People which is described rather aptly in its title � �Fierceness�. Love Powder People are the Edinburgh duo of Neil Steedman and Gareth Somerville. Neil�s discography includes the widely acclaimed hit �We Are Love� which he produced under his French alter-ego DJ Eric as well as releases on Guidance, Sabres and Novamute.

Viscous is on the up following the release of Sean Cusick�s �Consider the Raven� � featured on Dave Seaman�s GU compilation. V006 is a housier tune, moving away from the deep and dark sound to a sunnier, summer vibe. Having joined forces in 2000 to create Motive, Tom Anderson and Mark Hunt have brought a wealth of experience to the fore in collaborating on this standout Florida project. Mark has already infiltrated your ears with 'Over and Out', which was featured on John Digweed�s Bedrock mix album. Building on their first release as Motive titled �Inner Depth� featured on Jerry Bonham�s Spundae mix CD in 2001, Motive now deliver their debut offering on Viscous. �Please Don�t� leads off with a funky bass line and a swirling drum loop that weaves between vocal stabs and percussive samples. The track builds using soulful vocals, quirky samples and reverberating synths. A wicked summer-sounding house track � effective on any dance floor. �Not Without Your Love� is an eclectic style tune, ideal for summer terraces and Tenaglia style sets - a uniquely structured track with a definitive groove. Trippy vocals lead the tune into a lyrical breakdown. The song kicks back in to a housey groove with a dirty bassline and a psychedelic edge. Two very unique tracks and an impressive first outing for Motive.

Marco Botelli kicks off Altitude Yellow, a new off-shoot of Altitude intended to present quality trance and hard house productions. Original mix is booming hard house with a progressive edge - an uplifting, trancey production. The Danza Violente mix is the one � a bouncing, kickin� hard house track designed to rock any dancefloor. �Q Point� is licensed to Hardhouse the Ultimate Collection and Trance the Ultimate Collection 2002 Vol 1.

Formidable Force consists of two producers one of which you probably won't have come across before and another you undoubtedly will. The legendary former Back to Basics resident and Floridian ex-pat - 'Huggy' got his DJing break when he warmed up for Marshall Jefferson during the late '80's seminal Chicago Trax tour. Huggy was first in line as resident for the start of Leeds� internationally renowned techno mecca, The Orbit before Dave Beer wisely headhunted Huggy to play alongside a young Ralph Lawson for the rapidly growing B2B - the rest, as they say, is history. Huggy's early studio experience resulted in a number of co-productions with Ralph Lawson - the pair, recording under the Wulf & Bear alias kickstarted the 20:20 Vision label with the awesome Spacegroover. Huggy has also recorded as Urban Farmers, The Huggy Factor and The Unlikely Lads for the cause. Formidable Force is his new project based in Florida with new partner Dave 'Atnarko' Ross - an Orlando based DJ and producer. Dave established himself as resident at The Ultraviolet club before establishing his own label, Rhythm Flow, as an outlet for his productions. Chris Fortier's Fade label, Niche and Tune Inn have all also released Dave's work. A Funky Space is a stunning house cut with a terrific crunchy feel to the production. Lashings of bass and distorted vocals, located deep within the mix, lend further appeal. A tough dub and some handy beats are included on the flip for those who favour a more hands-on approach to their DJing. Already used by X-Press 2 to start the dance at their Muzikizum London launch party at Cargo and being worked out by Mazi, Duriez, Onionz, The 6400 crew and Garth in San Fran.
