Si Tew feat. Pete Simpson - Need To Grow (Yoruba Soul mixes)
Firstly I'm dissapointed to say I've have not checked out Si's debut artist album. Si Tew is a young man hailing from the Midlands area of the Uk, having had met label boss Martin Iveson who offered him an internship at his studio in Derby, it's been onwards and upwards for this talented individual now with the release of his debut album entitled 'When The Clouds Ran Away' out now on worldwide release. 'Need To Grow' is taken from the album introducing a new set of remixes from one true musical genius Osunlade (Yoruba Soul). This new set of remixes are of the highest quality as you now come to expect from the man, I just hope he contuines to share his passion and sheer talent in music for many more years to come.

Juno What - Don't Wake (Inc Matthew Bandy & Love Over Money mixes) Limestone Recordings
Limestone Recordings return with a bang Colorado based funk band Juno What at the helm alongside label head Matthew Bandy. Incredible vocals from Jans Ingber remixes by Matthew Bandy, creating his usual classic sounding Limestone vibe, fit for long summer nites, disco boogie from London based 'Love Over Money', a personal favourite of mine followed by a latin influenced party hitter from Dominican Republic newcomer Macrofunk. With Matthew Bandy's Classic Limestone Mix hitting top 20 at Traxsource this is receiving support from across the globe cats like Tony Humphries to Laurent Garnier are supporting. Big year adhead yet for Matt and Leena at Limestone, keep your ears and eyes wide open !!

Nastee Nev feat. Donald Sheffey - I'm So Hung Up On You (Do It Now Recordings)
South Africa's Nastee Nev is one artist who's really been catching my ear of late, everything this guy touches is perfectly crafted and makes you take notice straight away. Apparently this guy has been producing since 1989 and is now starting to reap the rewards, gaining massive support and recognition in his home country of SA. This boy got skills, evident from this release using a captivating, moving bassline over wicked layered keys this is one hot joint. Donald Sheffey is a well-renowned singer, song writer with an awesome musky voice who works perfect on the track. Watch out for new remixes to follow on this upcoming label.
