Top 3 House Tracks for April 2010

“Babou” (Original Mix) by Julian Jeweil [Plus 8]
Lately it seems bloopy minimal may be taking a back seat to more straight forward house but you wouldn’t know it from this Plus 8 newbie. A main synth riff with automated release, white noise builds, and a drop that’ll curl your toes in anticipation make this genre more relevant than ever.

“Agua Ardiente” (Loko Remix) by Christian Malloni [So Sound Recordings]
The red-hot Loko stretches out the Latin-flavored original with a relentless skippy groove, subtle acoustic percussion accents, and a carefully crafted drop that showcases the female vocal. Just gorgeous!
Available soon on beatport.com.

Signal Deluxe "La Orquidea Negra"

“La Orquidea Negra” (Cubenx Remix) by Signal Deluxe [Blaq Records]
Organic tech-house from this Mexican remixer. It’s a slow building affair that starts with deep bass under pulsing pads but culminates with a flurry of drums, dubby chords and spacey echoes. Expand your mind and ears.
Available soon.
