The upload this week was out of this world. A cursory browsing session yielded 18 strong contenders for the top 10. I can only imagine what I would have found had I really dug. I remember the days of struggling to come up with 10 tracks for the section I used to do for our old newsletter. I made it a point not to constantly feature the same labels or artists, which could complicate things on a slow week. Those days are long gone….

This week, I was able to mix all 10 tracks together The image above with all the album art and the list below with the track descriptions correspond to the track list of the mix so you can follow along. I hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I do.

1. FantaC (Original Mix) – Shamanah – Frisky Records. No surprise here – a great track from Frisky Records.

2. Liquid Sky (Original Mix) – bSound – Aenaria Chill. bSound will keep you moving with rumbling bass lines and airy synths.

3. Bass Reflex (Original Mix) – Stefano Patarnello – Mini Bomb Records. Straight ahead and techy.

4. Magnetic Field (Original Mix) – Rutilance – Music Taste Records. (Warning – Cheesy Track Description) You’ll get zapped by the envelope filters surrounding this magnetic field. But it’s worth it…

5. Aganes Blue (Original Mix) – Itamar Sagi – Ovum Recordings. This track from RV office favorite Ovum Recordings doesn’t move around too much but is a great transitional track. It will keep the crowd going until you drop it and come back swinging.

6. Stoppage Time (Danton Eeprom Conversion Version) – Guy Gerber – Bedrock. Funky.

7. Ground Swell (Francesco Pico Remix) – Matt Rowan, Robbie Low – Proton Music. The Original Mix and three remixes are all great. No dead weight on this release from Proton.

8. Bruise (Original Mix) – Diogo Ribeiro – 24 Hours Records. This is the first release from 24 Hours to hit the RV Shop. If Bruise is any indication of what’s to come, expect big things.

9. Vengeance! (Original Mix) – Oliver Nickels – Aurora Music. One big rolling hook with loads of good minimal things happening in the background.

10. Casa Del Mar (Original) – DJ Paul – Kansak Recordings. I try to keep things fresh from week to week, but this track was too good to leave out. Kansak strikes again!
