As you know, we’ve been working tirelessly to simultaneously improve our new site and to make sure we’re back up to speed on everything we had to offer on our 1.0 site. One of the things that has been missing since RV 2.0 made it out into the water… exclusives. Thanks to Dublin Xpress Recordings, we’re putting the wheels back on the exclusive cart. On the 23rd of November, we will be the only outlet for Tony Craig’s Dog Head release. I’ve been listening to it over the past few weeks, and I think you’ll be as pleased with these tracks as I have been. This is not one of those releases that has a decent original and a host of throwaway filler remixes. Mr. Craig’s original is spot on techno. The solid sparse beats lay down the foundation, and are complimented by several well-placed builds and transitions. My favorite remix is the Cricky Lyttle cut, which has major crowd-pummeling potential.

Tony was kind enough to send us a chart of his top 10 tracks of the moment. This should give you a good idea of where he’s coming from. (I know, a preposition)

2. The Crickton Factor (Original Mix) – Cricky Lyttle – Dublin Xpress Recordings

There you have it. Our fist exclusive in months. See you on Monday.
