Following the success of the 2002 mixes of Paul Grogan's 'The Touch', United imprint Forbidden Planet ups the stakes with the stunning Infernal Machine Remix of Epsilon 9's latest. One listen and you can see why the likes of Sasha, Sander Kleinenberg and Paul van Dyk are championing the record in their sets. For the more 'traditional' Euro sound, the Classified Project remix does just the job!

Liquid Recordings has a flawless reputation for bringing you tomorrow�s hits today and is the label responsible for chart dominators such as 4 Strings' 'Into The Night (Take me away)'.

Following Insigma�s �Open Our Eyes� it's over to Belgium for the next release. ATCR has hooked up with Luc �The Act� Poublon, the man behind the mighty, hard trancing �Something About U�. Luc has delivered a huge chunking slice of trance which will be demanding jocks' attention left, right and centre! �Quantum Leap�? Think �Luvstruck� with trance chords and a huge dose of bass!

Very, very dark sexy deep progressive chugger from Miami�s DJ Stryke. A Side has a piano riff that floats under the quick stabs and whispery vocal hook. The B side continues in the same deep acid vein. With releases on labels such as Hooj Choons, Guidance, Platform, Fluential, DJ Stryke�s productions are quickly becoming a favorite among top DJs like Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Josh Wink and Doc Martin.

The Blondini Gang is a psudonym for Duncan Forbes and and Laurant Webb. Previous Blondini tracks have been signed to Wiggle and have drummed up solid underground support, selling consistently and strongly. Duncan Forbes has risen in profile dramatically over the last two years since his resurgence onto the underground tech-house circuit with his Animated project alongside ex-Get Fucked member Laurant Webb. In recent months Duncan has found Radio 1 popularity alongside Charlie May as their Spooky project finds its feet again after an absence of 10 years, and their emotive sounds are once again finding favour across all genres. Laurant Webb is responsible for the majority of the engineering on all of the domestically produced Eukahouse records of recent years, including Terry Francis, Get Fucked, Smart Alex and Oliver Lieb productions. Written for Electronic Arts game Shox!, �Helter Skelter� is a popular club track in its own right, released on Coded to coincide with the release of the game. Remixers, Smart Alex are Dave Coker and Laurant Webb, both one time Get Fucked members and now production partners as Smart Alex. Their biggest single least year, �Chinz Ninja� sold in excess of 5000 copies with plays from Sasha to James Lavelle, and their debut album 'Straight A�s' on Eukahouse sold in excess of 8000 copies.

Alegria is a brand new project from Spinnin� Records. A late summer essential which can�t be left out of your DJ box. An excellent vocal groover, with a dub mix for those that need it, already being played out by Judge Jules and Paul van Dyk. Move over Tim de Luxe � this will be big! Remixes are by Mac Zimms, one of Holland�s most popular producers at the moment, and he has delivered a very smooth package indeed.

�Running� is a massive trance affair that will get into your head from the word go. The soft vocals combined with the impressive melody immediately put you under their spell. �Running� has already topped most of the German charts and the video has gained high rotation on Viva TV. The video itself was filmed in Capetown and the backdrop of the city skyscrapers against the beautiful blue sky is truly amazing. As well as being a master technician in the studio, Marc is also a DJ who likes to play a mixture of styles, including trance, techno and funky house to create a party vibe and to make sure everybody has a great time. Marc loves DJing as he says he gets the best song ideas when he gets a good response from the crowd. Marc has turned his hand to remixing and has recently worked his magic on Goldtrix's �Trippin�.

Jon Bishop is rated as one of the top 5 DJs in the states and since his regular visits to this side of the pond he has become a firm favourite with a number of UK clubbers over the years. Jon�s first release was 'I�m In Control', which was back in April of 2001 and to this day has sold over 13,000 copies. Jon has hit back with yet another quality offering for you guys in 2002 and early reactions have been very big. 'Stalker' was the second release on the now much talked about Tidy White label. 2000 copies were pressed and 2000 were sold. So much was the hype and demand for this track Tidy felt it should make its proper release in a Tidy shirt! The Original mix found itself in the boxes and charts of Andy Farley, Anne Savage, Lisa Lashes and the Tidy Boys, and also featured on the Extreme Euphoria and Tidy FC albums as well. The Hoodlums mix (this time replacing Ingo�s mix for the full release) offers a bumped up bouncy affair. The Hoodlums are of course from the states as well, making this release an all American affair.

Named after the most famous trance club in Belgium, Boccaccio Life was originally a massive club hit for Neo Records in 1998 at the beginning of the trance explosion. With hundreds of requests each month, they thought it was about time to give the people what they wanted with a re-release of this great track and a new tougher remix to bring it bang up to date for 2002. Lange is acknowledged as the UK's leading trance music producer/remixer. His consistency over the previous 5 years has ensured support for his tunes by some of the biggest names in dance. Lange has also been highly successful with his own productions. His singles 'I Believe' and 'Follow Me' (which was heavily featured on the film Kevin And Perry Go Large) were both huge club anthems. The latest Lange single 'Drifting Away' was released on VC Recordings in Feb 2002 and catapulted Lange into the UK Sales Charts at NO.9, leading onto him performing live on Top Of The Pops and the Pepsi Chart Show. Alici � the brains behind releases such as Steve Morley, Dave Holmes, Starchild, Status One, Profiler, Nautica, Soulman, Clubbers Delight. Also a well known DJ in the UK and Europe.

A massive euro tech trancer from Uberdruck records Germany, the 1st 12� of this release on Honey Pot featured remixes from Jon Doe, Crow and Uberdruck. The awesome DJ Crow is one of the biggest producers in euro trance and has had a number of releases on BXR, Tidy, Uberdruck and Nukleuz. This 12� features exclusive UK hard dance mixes from rising star Roosta. DJ Roosta is currently riding high on the DJ circuit in London, with his high profile residency at Tasty, and over the past 12 months has been fine tuning his studio skills. He has made tracks with a number of artists including Jon Doe, Andy Farley, Billy Daniel Bunter, and has tracks forthcoming with Lisa Pin Up, Nick Sentience and Knuckleheadz.

�Summit� sees a fine return for �Dan Goodall� and Fracas. Dan made a great name for himself at the beginning of the year with his underground smash �Tripped�, which was released through Niche and was an absoulutely massive Sasha anthem. Both tracks are well in keeping with the label's sound. Summit�s tight beats, and echoing, hollow sounding bassline cruise alongside some extremely sleazy acid and dirty tripped out vocals that are reminiscent of classic west coast - Think DJ Icey meets Scott Hardkiss and you're somewhere close. Add to this an excellent 4/4 mix by hot new talent and Distinctive Records� signings Sound Alliance and it makes for an excellent package.

�This is definitely one of the best records I've heard this year!� - Dave Begg, M8 Magazine
�Keeping things low key and stripped down to the very bare basics, this is nu skool electro with an old skool ethos. Warm acid sounds, deep melodies and cultured beats 3.5/5� - Dan Irwin, DJ Mag
�On Summit, I'm getting higher with the Ascent on K2 Mix (8/10, rated very good)� - Liam Kennedy, Balance DJ, New York

Previously released on Tripoli Trax in 1997, this re-issue comes with some fierce new remixes as well as the classic Tony De Vit remix which is still well sought after. Up for hard dance remix of the year by the tastemakers, Edison Factor turn in their best remix to date and K90 add to the formidable package with their trademark uplifting treatment. More a question of who is not playing this record in the hard dance community - currently hammered by the Tidy Boys, Anne Savage, Lisa Lashes, Phil Reynolds, Andy Farley, Rob Tiserra, Mark Kavanagh, Lee Haslam, BK etc.

"Massive! This won't leave my box in ages!" - Anne Savage
"This is one top package!" - Rob Tiserra
"You've justified this re-release so well - this is huge!" - Mark Kavanagh

Once again we have another Beautiful record that has been road tested on the sunny shores of the Balearic isle. This is second artist EP to come from Tom Neville, Beautiful's in-house producer / engineer. This is the tune! Once again the skills of Tom Neville shine through this slice of plastic candy. Featuring the skills of Australian sax demon Tommy Showtime, these two have created a track that is pure vibe. Again on the flip Tom has delivered another slammer to contrast the deeper sound of the A side. Take this track, put it on a deck, plug it into a fat sound system and wait for the bass line - it will have the desired effect.

This is the first release from Tone Recordings, the twisted evil sister label to King Size Records. The label�s emphasis will be on solid alternative house with releases from the likes of Switchcraft, Marcello Jordany and the mighty Peace Division. Obelix has recorded for the likes of Glasgow Underground, Sole Music and the highly acclaimed Bear trax. Already massive with the likes of DJ C1, Peace Division and Meat Katie, Obelix unleashes a fierce slice of uncompromising tech house that is proving to be a massive underground hit. A booming bassline, tribal percussive nuttiness and infectious grooves �all the ingredients are there!There�s a nice trippy tech groove on the flipside too. Simple but hugely effective.

Phender are also known as Stretch and Vern of �I�m Alive� fame and numerous remixes. Stretch is also one half of Coloursound. Here they deliver a 2 tracker of lush strings, lovely breakdowns and the all important funk. We have a sneaky suspicion that this one could be a bit of a biggy��!

The first release on Baby Doll�s new sister label Class A Recordings is produced by Alan Pullen, the hugely popular Dublin DJ who scored big successes earlier this year with �Whiplash�/ �Go Insane� and �1,2,3, Kick It�. Pullen co-produced Tripoli Trax releases �Easyman� and �Lyrical Bricks�. As one half of the Baby Doll DJs, Pullen recently remixed �nsomniacz for Elasticman and he remixed DJ Love�s 'Who Do You Love'. Pullen is also one half of Bill & Ben, The Irish Men, whose �The Age Of Dub� debut was a big summer hit on the underground. All Class A releases will be strictly limited pressings for the underground so snap them up fast.

DJ/Producer/Remixer and long-time DMC/Update/7 Magazine drum�n�bass reviewer Tricksta founded Nu Directions in May 1999. From running the popular underground imprints Urban Flavour and Dirty Mac from 1996-1999, he finally left to start a label with a new direction. In the three years it has been actively releasing music the label has unleashed ten 12� singles and a mixed CD label compilation. The label has been supported by a number of top DJs and received some quality reviews and features in all major dance press. As far as music style goes, it neatly fits itself in-between LTJ Bukem�s Good Looking label, Fabio�s Creative Source, Doc Scott�s 31 Records, Blame�s 720 Degrees and Hospital Records. Q-Project, the Oxford based producer / DJ / remixer made the groundbreaking hardcore anthem �Champion Sound� on Legend Records back in 1992. As Q Project he has had releases on Good Looking, Creative Source, React subsidiary Industry, Timeless Records and his own CIA Records. With his partner Paul he records as Total Science and has DJed all over the planet, with releases on Goldie�s Metalheadz, J Majik�s Infrared, Renegade Hardware, Moving Shadow and the ever popular Hospital Records (amongst others), as well as running their own labels Advanced, CIA, Skindeep and Fix.

Following on from their last release 'This Is Not A Breakdown', the dynamic duo of Steve Jones and Ricky Simmonds return to the floor with yet another guaranteed club anthem. Upfront and in your face, the original is a huge vocal number, which will appeal to a wide range of mainstream and underground DJs alike. With a bassline snipped from Donna Summer�s 'I Feel Love' and Steve�s epic vocal which will stick in your head for weeks, the track pounds along at as alarming rate, bobbing hooks and layered synth strings fill the gaps perfectly, building up and up to a quality breakdown. Watch out for forthcoming remixes due the end of November 2002.

Snell and Swain, the genius chameleon producers under the guise of Sshh with 'Hold That Body' one of RSR�s many hits of last year. Naturally, with such a success, it would have been rude not to give in to the multitude of producers looking to remix the track, and so here we have it. Two diverse and impressive remixes (a side: Infusion remix/ b side: Lopez and Kucho remix) blowing you out the water second time round. Described as 'Best Newcomer' in Rolling Stone�s current dance music special, Infusion have emerged as one of Australia�s rising stars of the antipodean dance evolution, producing a steady stream of outstanding releases, through home grown Sydney label, Thunk Recordings. As kings of the tribal scene, Wally Lopez and Dr. Kucho on the other hand need no introduction. On side A, the 'Hold Your Body Infusion remix' is quite simply a very dark, moody progressive track. With its tuff techno beat and complex build up, this intricately produced track cleverly introduces layer upon layer of percussive beats and synth sounds, before kicking off with a heavy bassline two thirds into the track � a very impressive remix working brilliantly on the dancefloor. On the B side, 'Hold Your Body Kucho and Lopez mix' chugs along in typical tribal fashion and true to Dr. Kucho and Wally Lopez style, it's chunky, funky and with a solid percussive beat.

Nebula is responsible for big chart crossover dance tracks from the likes of DJ Tiësto and 4 Strings. The label has a strong fan base and now a good retail presence from a Top 15, two Top 20 and two Top 40 hits this year. With the current resurgence of David Bowie via his new album 'Heathen' and top 20 single 'Everyone Says Hi' plus the impending 'Best Of..' the time is right for this classic Bowie sampling tune. Solaris vs Bowie's 'Shout' is a tough house cut up of David Bowie�s classic 'Fashion'. Solaris are famed for their cheeky 'DJ only' cut ups of big tunes.

Audio Therapy is the brand new label formed by globetrotting uber-DJ Dave Seaman and his pals at top DJ agency Therapy (plus various colleagues from his days with the mighty Stress Records.) This collector-friendly double pack is an introduction to what can be expected from the Audio Therapy label, a mix of exclusives and tasters for upcoming singles. Expect twisted tribal prog breaks hybrid dirty deep house music. All night long main room back room your house my houseThere are 3 exclusives to this sampler. 'Infusion', 'Clear' and 'Hip Service' are all exclusives and will not be available on any subsequent full releases.

To capitalize on the success of the 'Nukleuz Presents Hard Trance' compilation on Virgin Records, we release a second special edition EP featuring two future hard trance classics. Packaged in identical artwork to the album, this project is set to gain support from Nukleuz and hard trance fans alike. Mark Richardson has carved himself a niche as one of the most successful producers on the Nukleuz roster over the last seven months. His previous and future releases include: Hard Drive (Nukleuz Purple), Mark Richardson & Phil Reynolds' 'Computer Music/Vinyl Addiction' (Nukleuz Purple) and Harry Diamond & The Mexican's 'Spectrum' (Mark Richardson Remix.)

He has also produced and remixed for Frantic Records, Tripoli Trax, Freezing Point and Vicious Circle. He is currently remixing the hard house classic �Bad Ass� for Nukleuz�s remix package of �Revolution�. Accessible up-tempo power trance that�ll blow the roof off any joint.

But for starters AIM of GRAND CENTRAL brings his selections to the decks. Aim has just finished promoting / touring his critically acclaimed 'Hinterland', his second album for Grand Central. On the first installment of Stars On 33 he showcases many of his staple and special DJing tracks that have become firm favourites whilst on tour.

This is simply the most in demand track of the year. The much sought after original mix has been causing mayhem on the country's dancefloors largely thanks to Rob Tissera and Eddie Halliwell. Full support from the major players then followed, as did licensing to the latest Sundissential compilation which kickstarted the demand for this track. We are sure there will be more to follow.

'Coffee 2 Go' was written by Israeli producers �Fuf & Goz�. The two brothers are probably best known for their famed work on pioneering trance label Perfecto however, 'Coffee 2 Go' is a completely different offering!! After a memorable gig with house pioneer and living legend Marshall Jefferson the boys sat down with Marshall and decided to write a track. The rest, they say, is history. Marshall Jefferson was so happy with the record that he put his name to it, and you can see why. The release has summer vibes written all over it and with a special Ibiza mail out for this summer the track has become a favourite on the �White Isle� at Mambo, Savannah, Space, Cafe Del Mar, DC10 to name just a few. From the filtered intro that builds ever so slowly under block party chatting, the groove creeps in like a two timin� boyfriend at 8.00am on a Sunday morning. Clonking conga, whooshing keyboard sweeps and a live bass that us up to the drop. Timbale signals that we are now in full flow, a flute sample rotates and the production is now as full as the toilet at the aforementioned block party. Another breakdown finds real warm keys and inviting Jefferson to spread some love over the mix. There is a superb 'Halo/Hippie' style remix from Australia�s Nathan G on the flip.
