The Hype: King Street’s stepsister label Street King recently released a vibrant single “Global Apocolypse” by one of Spain’s hottest rising House producers, Pach DJ. House producer Mihalis Safras’ Remix of the tune gave us all the deep thrusting percussion, bouncing baseline and looped up synth that one would expect from a peak hour pumper. Fellow Greek countryman Lee Burton raised the pH with a drop of acid and EU producer Mikee delved deeper into the machine with some borderline industrial samples. Now we’re adding “Danza Loca” to create a further crank up the heat. On remix duty are italian producers, the Deepshakerz who hit us with a funky rolling rhythmic tribal instrumental mix that’s sure to get clobbers flocking to the dance floor. Their Dub is a bit more hifi with snares and other popping percussion. And it’s off & poppin’ just like that.

The Hype: Here comes a tune that’s right up our alley. Heard recently on the Miami 2012 comp, this Classic Disco-styled debut release is brought to you by French producers known as Mind Street. They create an orchestral club movement with a slew of talented writers and musicians, all contributing to this major effort, and with eight full-on sweet & soulful House remixes by well-known producers, and it doesn’t disappoint. Remixes by multi-talented Danny Dance with his cool rolling deep disco mix, Italy’s Doll Combers who smack of great percussion and classic chords, UK’s Groove Assassins who go deep and delicious. Souldynamic give wicked jazzy styles and are smoother than the sweetest butter, and Mind Street themselves who deliver 2 beautiful mixes, their Original Funky and a more upbeat Mind Street Friendly Remix. With a strong male vocal by previously unknown Jalley Residence, who delivers a charismatic vox reminiscent of 70′s Motown, this is a pure Soulful House gem.
