:: Dust Off & Mash-Up ::

My latest Mixbuster show on Fire 107.6 featured some great new tracks from Akubu 'Phuture Bound', La Griffe 'We Can Make It Shine' and Dero 'Dero's Illusion'. The latter is another 80's tune re-worked for the dance floors. I used this opportunity to dust off the mash-up of the original Imagination 'Just An Illusion', but with vocals from David Guetta 'The World Is Mine'. A simple match of tunes that hopefully create an entertaining 5 minutes of house music.

I'm still getting great feedback (thanks) for my mash-up of New Order's 'Blue Monday' with the main theme from War Of The Worlds. I keep meaning to extend it and tidy it up, but my other productions get in the way.

My favourite remix around at the moment is Mark Knight's reworking of Joey Negro 'Make A Move'. To shake up such a perfect track was obviously a challenge that Mark Knight relished in. It's well worth the download fee.

And finally, this months award for the Track That Is Mostly Likely To Grow On You is 'Changes' by Chris Lake. It's a sweeping and smoothly produced dance track that grabs you as soon as the synth bassline kicks in. It then sweeps in with the house piano and starts to swirl you around the dance floor. Give it three listens and then tell me that I'm wrong about this stonker of a house track from the Apollo/Island label!
