“Around the World” (Original Mix) by DJ Prinz [Push It Records]
The clever use of the Daft Punk sample only provides a subtle hook to keep listeners engaged in this otherwise insistent, big room-type track. Rolling bass, tribal-style percussion, and a repetitive, filtered synth stab make this a winner!

“Can’t Stop The Feeling” (Rework Vocal Mix) by Jaimy & Jeroenski feat. Michelle
David [Fatal Music]
When Jaimy explores more techy territory, the results are often spectacular. “The
Feeling” contains enough vocal to be memorable but avoids the “diva trap” so often
found in main room house. Instead, J&J inject syncopated percussion into a driving beat
and chord stabs and keep the energy at maximum throughout. Found at Amazon.com.

“No Pressure” (Original Remix) by Tomas Malo [Architech Records]
“I wanna go a whole lot deeper!” exclaims the sample but not deep enough to make this predictable and generically jazzy. With its techy influenced drums, effects, and deft production, this falls in the sweet spot for groovy and artistically challenging yet still eminently accessible.

“Something In The Way” (Ryan Crosson Remix) by Kelly Johnston [Culprit]
The dubby synth pads that kick this track off provide little inking of the pounding tech-house to come.
