Brothers Of Dub are Steve Rixon and Sam Hyman� Sam�s enjoyed huge solo success with tracks such as the Jules-championed �No One Driving�, whilst Steve tours the world over spreading the roots gospel. They also happen to be based at Enzo�s in Salisbury, one of the best known and longest running clubs in the South of England. EK is one of the newest kids on the block and a superstar in the making in the heady world of Nu Skool Breaks. Coming from Australia, his tough beats and phat bass-lines have caught the attention of the UK breaks fraternity, with Chris Bones himself personally asking EK to remix this track. �After Time� is forward-thinking old-skool - if that makes any sense? It is one of the biggest records of this year and exactly what house music is supposed to sound like. Electro tinged future funkin progressive house with reggae vocal samples and spine tingling strings.

Junior Jack�s label, Noisetraxx, has chosen the UK as its base. After 'Thrill Me', here comes the new house bomb produced by Vito �Junior Jack� Lucente, just in time to create the buzz in Ibiza. The track is a massive hands-in-the-air crowd-pleaser with non-stop progressive tension.

Signed from Aqualoop records from Germany this little minx was first played by the Tidy Boys at the now legendary Tidy Weekender. Impressed by the reaction, they decided to sign it and here we are today! 'One More' is cool blend of hard house and trance, using quirky hard house tinges and a euphoric riff to make this track stand out from any other. Using the now familiar vocal �One More�, the track rifles along building throughout until you reach the real crescendo at the end. On remix duties we have the Pulsedriver vs Rocco remix. Debutantes on the Tidy label, the boys have a more down tempo effort on the original, which works well and has been getting support off Dave Pearce over the past few weeks.

Honey Pot has been one of the driving forces behind the current hard trance vibe, and it�s a natural progression for the label to be taking in the underground hard trance sound, as well as the more accessible commercial end of the scale. Over the coming months the label has tracks and remixes from the likes of Water world, Stimulant DJ�s, Jon Doe, Lee James, Roosta and Spencer Freeland. C4 is the awesome DJ The Crow, currently riding high with a number of remixes on various European labels, most notably his mix of The Shredders � Chainsaw. Remixer, Jon Doe (the leader of UK hard trance) has remixed for labels such as Tidy, Ministry, Virgin, Nebula, Redemption, Eve, Tripoli, Honeypot and many more. Licensed from the massive Uberdruck records Germany, this pumping minimal trancer has been creating a stir this year with the like�s of Dave Pearce, Fergie, Judge Jules, Ann Savage, Lisa Lashes, Tidy Boys and many more � Tuff tech beats, driving bass, and intoxicating riffs are the order of the day.

Conceptual is Birmingham based producer Anurag Jha (aka Raggy to his friends). Sit On My Bass is Raggy's first production, and he has signed to Fracas as a permanent fixture. Support so far has come from Sander Kleinenberg, who cut an acetate of the original demo that Raggy gave to him, as well as Alderaan resident Steve Parry. Stateside support so far has come from Andy Hughes and Steve Porter. Remix duties on the track come from Fracas Recordings' other new signing, London based up and coming DJ Paul Louth (aka Soulfish), who has also been caning the track at his residency at The Cross's Prologue night. It was here that Cass heard a CD of Paul's mix of SOMB, and attempted to sign it on the spot.

Top selling Transient artist, Cosmosis, returns with his first new music since his hit album, Intergalactic, which hit the stores in February 2000. Trance faves MumboJumbo have their �Weird, sick �n� twisted� track remixed by Cosmosis on the flip. The A-side to this release, �Find Your Own Divinity�, takes on a tech flavour. It�s hard-hitting trance that takes no prisoners, a peak time track with dark, acidic undertones, pumping and growling throughout, delivering a relentless and passionate dancefloor workout. The AA-side to this release, the Cosmosis remix of Mumbo Jumbo�s �Weird, Sick and Twisted�, has the potential to generate even more interest than the A-side. Sampling Dan Castellaneta, the voice behind Homer J. Simpson, this track incorporates Cosmosis�s trademark bubbling bass sounds and mutant acidic riffs with the priceless Homer chanting �I heard some weird stuff in that place last night. Weird, Strange, Sick, Twisted� eerie godless evil stuff� and I want in!� Cosmosis�s manipulation of this sample makes it the stunning track that it is. His engineering prowess has been fully utilized to bend, stretch, compress and EQ Homer�s voice from one extreme to the other. �Weird, Sick and Twisted� is an instant classic and not just a novelty track! This single is a mouthwatering appetizer for the brand new Cosmosis album, �Contact�, that is due for release in September.

Cube follow up their huge �Electronic� single with this groovy and techy number featuring a catchy male spoken vocal, driving bass lines and customary tribalistic percussion. On the flip side Freeloader take all the right original elements and create a slightly more chilled and melodic remix that�s perfect for early or late sets. Cube consists of Tim Scott, Stephen Bent and vocalist Dani G. Tim & Steve have worked together and individually and have appeared on various labels from Junior to Toko under guises such as Kwirky, Nimrod and Element N. Dani Gillieron has provided vocals for many of their own tracks, the most recent of which being the cool �Glow�. Their unique style of house has found favour with the likes of Steve Lawler and Deep Dish. Remix act, Freeloader, is in fact Tim & Steve working under another of their many aliases. They have recently worked with Andy Jarrod on Trancesetters' �The Saga� for Hooj and Rio�s �Don�t Cry� for Three. They have also had their new single �Forward� signed to Futureshock�s Fuju label.

Driftwood is a brand new hard trance project signed by the A&R of Spinnin� Records and already a massive hype amongst the UK A&R managers! Tune of the week from Armin van Buuren on ID&T Radio! The flipside mix is the more stomping track and expect this one to blow up this very summer. Licensed to Ministry of Sound compilation.

Lick The Hardcore� is the latest stunning release from Electric Tease and could yet be Tim Healey�s finest moment. Emotive attitude, deep, driving beats and dark melodies combine with one of dance music�s finest vocals from Sophie Moleta (who sang on the club hit �Love has come again� by Human Movement on the Renaissance imprint). Haunting and soulful, �Lick The Hardcore� will stick in your head, but just this once, you�re unlikely to mind! The inclusion of the original mix on Neo�s Space Ibiza 2002 compilation will further arouse interest in the track. �Lick The Hardcore� confirms Healey�s immense talent and will propel Electric Tease to the forefront of the dance-music movement, such is the quality and potential of the record. The B Side, a stunning remix by Slide (of Cass & Slide fame), slows down the groove and hydrates the funk with a killer slapbass line, lubricating a sublime journey into deep, dirty house.

Element N (aka Tim Scott) is also the man behind Nimrod and Freeloader (who release tunes on TOKO that get hammered by the likes of Deep Dish and Saeed and Palash). Tom also records as Polekat for Rennaisance. �Wind it up and lets go forward����.� A big big tune with a big big vocal. A proper Fuju sounding record with great effects and percussion. Big at Homelands in Sasha�s tent.

F1's debut on Tripoli Trax was the classic 'Cuz I'm Rockin' / 'Recoil' that took the hard house scene by storm. Soon, followed 'Can't Stop Won't Stop' and 'Alright'. Tony De Vit's favourite producer, F1, has produced and remixed many classic records and had productions on labels such as Tidy Trax, Nukleuz, Manifesto, Overdose, Noom, and Tripoli Trax amongst many others. F1 also worked with TDV in the studio and was originally signed to his label Jump Wax.

Ministry Mag 2002, James Lawson:
�Paul King fans will be happy as his first release in a while is showcased on Tripoli. On the A side we have the re-release of "The Music" which is full of F1's trademark stabs and feel. On the flip there's a new track "Pay Attention" which is more of the same... Funky & groovy hard house with attitude. 7/10�

"Great new mixes of what is a classic track!" (Rachel Auburn)

"Playing the Mr Bishi mix every set! Love It!" (Lisa Pin Up)

Following hot on the heels of the massive �Come (Into My Dream)� by Foggy, Dacoda is back with a beautiful trance number from label co-founder AJ Gibson up against trancemeister, Yoshi. The original mix slowly builds around an uplifting riff, until the dreamy female vocal arrives, sending a shiver down your spine. The vocal gets into your head and stays there! The production quality is excellent and the dancefloor reaction to this track is truly amazing. The 2 AM Mix toughens things up without disappearing into hard trance territory. Snippets of the vocal drop in and out over a solid kick and a tougher distorted riff that will have the floors jumping. Angelic trance with a dirty face!

Matanka is an all star production team from Johan Gielen (Svenson & Gielen), Michael Parsberg (Safri Duo) and Jakob Strasberg. This team has had more hits than Abba and are leaders in their genre. �Lost in a Dream� is simply the most uplifting slab of euphoric magic that is set to storm the summer destinations and clubs in the UK. The track is a peaktime, anthemic trancer with that trademark Nukleuz edge and serious crossover appeal that will set any dancefloor alight. The remix team is second to none on this project. Push, fresh from remixing Sinead O�Connor, Snap, Art of Madagascar and Mauro Picotto, delivers an almighty peak time trance workout that simply rocks any dance floor. German techno master Marco Zaffarano, having remixed CRW � Like a Cat and Mauro Picotto � Puslar, turns in an awesome groove based floor killer than uses the riff to drivean uplifting finish along. Finally, Paul Hutsch from the leading Alphabet City team in Germany, checks in with a German-style pounding remix with a simply mindblowing breakdown which delivers more punch than Lennox Lewis when the track kicks back in.

This is the second single from Oceanlab aka Above & Beyond. They had a big success with their first single �Clear Blue Water�. On this follow up they have used the warm vocals of Justine Suissa who can also be heard on the Chicane single �Autumn Tactics� and �Clear Blue Water�. Remixes by Armin van Buuren and JC coming up�

Following the two original mixes of �Circa� ATCR continue to bring the finest in trance to your shop door with a pair of monsterous remixes. First up is Pedro Del mar vs DJ Shah with a tough trancer of huge proportions. After their hit �Harder?� on Pepper records last year and revamps of Future Breeze's �Temple Of Dreams� and Cosmic Gate�s �Exploration of Space� on Data they continue here to produce the finest work. On the flip you will find Steve Helstrip�s brother Richard deploying his Free Radical remix. Soaring, pumping euphoria is the order and Richard delivers in spades. His mix has diverted many jocks including Armin Van Buuren and PVD away from the original and is also Single of the week on Paul Kershaw�s Drivetime show on the West Midlands Galaxy 102.2 station this week.

Next up on 3BLM�s in-house label is this double A side release from Istanbul. Asylum seekers are Murat Uncuoglu, Aytek Kurt and Craig Belford. Murat is one of Turkey�s premier DJs, Aytek is his production partner and UK based Craig Belford formally worked with RIP Records. They have also had tracks licensed to POD Recordings and Eve Records.The A side takes a gentle approach with a rolling melodic slice of house music that�s bound to be suited to the Digweed fans. Female vocals float in and out of the track with perfect ease. The flip is a harder tribal affair with a thumping kick, ultra cool spoken vocal and devastating stabs.

That Kid Chris has been DJing in New York for over 10 years at Vinyl, Roxy, Twilo and Centro Fly. His track �Apache� on Groovilicious was a club anthem with an �Essential New Tune� and all the usual plaudits that follow. Look out for forthcoming remixes of Angel Morale�s �Tribal Function� and Delacy�s �Hideaway�, both being re released with the That Kid Chris touch. 'Come Together' is That Kid Chris�s first recording for Junior in several years - since the notorious �Oh Daddy Shit� on Jus Trax. A huge club demand has built up for this track � after the label circulated a few tps. Big big tribal house music with a catchy as f**k vocal!

Already hammered by Dave Pearce on Radio 1 on acetate, here is the first release on Paul Masterson�s new label, You Clash. �The Earthshaker� is a sublime piece of pumping house music. A thumping bassline, beautiful production and a riff that will be stuck in your head all week. Trance giants Minimalistix supply one of their coolest mixes to date on the B side and to round off the package is a mix from the incomparable Yomanda, who subtly takes the original into slightly harder territory for another dancefloor stormer. This first release is causing massive interest amongst the majors and the Slinkys and Godskitchens of this world are gonna love it.

Having stormed the national charts in Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain, France and of course the UK, Mauro Picotto is in pole position to deliver the defining dance album of 2002. Successfully marrying the highest underground accolades with commercial achievements that would make most boy bands green with envy, Picotto has delivered compilation albums before (most notably the 60,000 selling Metamorphose techno compilation in Germany, an impressive figure as there was almost no marketing spend whatsoever just word-of-mouth...), but this is the holy grail for his legion of fans both here and abroad. Packed full of his recent club and chart hits including a slew of 'tunes of the year' from all British media and taste makers including Judge Jules, Mixmag, Ministry, DJ and Seven Magazine this is an artist album that contains no fillers and true to Mauro's reputation as an uncompromising producer and DJ it bangs from start to finish.

At a time when most chillout compilations are hiding behind a major label and a handful of well known, but worn out Ibizan hits, the �Mashed Mellow Grooves� series has returned with perhaps its finest offering, including ten unreleased tracks.
