If you happen to follow some of the label links below, you’ll find that many of them only have a handful of releases. This could be attributed to a release from a new label, but more than likely, is because it is some of the first content to arrive from one of the many new labels we’ve added to the shop. If that’s the case, keep an eye out. We’ll have a steady stream of back catalog coming so you can dig back for the goodies the label has already released, and grab the new stuff as soon as it comes out.

1. Cepheid (Chloe Harris Remix) – Liz Cirelli – Mirabilis Records. This is a no brainer for me. I always seem to go for Mirabilis, and I’ve been known to enjoy some Chloe Harris as well.

2. One Mode (Original Mix) – Midave – Tokyo Red Recordings. Tokyo Red has been getting me lately. I enjoy a label that has an identity, but their releases don’t seem to be dictated by some sort of label mantra. Their artists seem to have some room to breathe and are well chosen, which can only help make the music better.

3. Flush (Original Mix) – Sonodab – Galaktika Records. Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole release.

4. Shponggg (Original Mix) – Latscho Palme – Plattenbau Music. Shpongg must mean rolling waves in a language with which I am unfamiliar.

5. A Summer Melody (Remute Remix) – Paul Schal – Remuted. Remute has issued only two releases, but I like them both and look forward to number three.

6. Abstract Looper (Original Mix) – Matthias Springer – Punkt vor Strich Recordings. Abstract Looper is the perfect example of the type of song I like to hear when I’m in a laid-back mood, or towards the end of the night. It definitely grooves, but it doesn’t club you over the head.

7. Escape (Robin Hirte Summer Mix) – Robbie Rivera – Parquet Recordings. This remix of the Robbie Rivera track is excellent. Drop this one and it’s on. 128 BPM of body moving techno.

8. Plankton (Matan Caspi and Eddy Good Remix) – Muzikjunki & Marco Den Held – Wazzup? Records. This particular remix of Plankton has good energy and melody without being over the top.

9. Never Forever (Marko Zavala Remix) – Sharkatronic – Animal Play Minimal. This one gets a bit nasty…

10. Goldbrokat (Donato Dozzy Techno Remix) – Cio D’or – Prologue. One of my favorite releases of the week.
