Reginald Omas Mamode IV Mix on Gilles Peterson Worldwide (GPWW 871)

Tom B.&#8216;s seductive &#8220;Lovely Matilda&#8221; is the seventh release coming from the Fukai label, backed with two remixes by German new school heroes Marcapasos and Ron Flatter Remix.

&#8220;Lovely Matilda&#8221; sees Leipzig based Tom B. at his smoothest, with a slow burning melodic groove characterised by a rounded bassline and funk-filled percussion. With no rough edges, it&#8217;s a tune that provides warmth and paired with some clever vocal snippets, makes for a great listening and dancing experience.

The Marcapasos remix retains much of the original smooth qualities, but the added layers of melody are more prominent and the bassline has been reworked. The drops are a bit more dramatic and extended. All combined, Marcapasos&#8217; respectful additions create an essential counterpart to the original.

Ron Flatter closes the EP with a second remix cut. Vocal snippets and a distinctly Garage use of melodies sit alongside a swinging groove while moody bass adds considerable weight. Incredibly cool sounding, it&#8217;s a distinctive closer to an already accomplished EP.

Fukai means &#8216;deep&#8217; in Japanese and four releases in, the label is staying true to its MO at the same time as offering up a fine selection of carefully hand picked remixers that add plenty to each package.

Sticky Fingers feat. Alex Vargas

Stefano Noferini teams up with Charles Ramirez in order to re-vamp Charles&#8217; &#8220;Insane&#8221;, and apart from Stefano&#8217;s re-edit we are treated to a very tasty 2014 version of the track with sly bass, dubbed-out sensibilities and heavy use of the haunting vocal. 

Stefano also delivers a Dub mix which sees everything getting beefed up, with layers of effects and distressed noises taking the helm. The bubbling sub bass never lets up and discordant stabs add the necessary class. The last remix comes from Luca M and JUST2, and the boys employ a grinding rhythm section with busy percussion and lots of boomy low end, all calming down only for the spacious breakdown.

A timeless favourite and Above & Beyond's most established release under their OceanLab guise (alongside Justine Suissa), "Satellite" celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Having stormed the UK charts and Radio 1 playlist in 2004, the time was right for a rework for the modern dance floor and here it comes courtesy of Anjuna man of the moment, ilan Bluestone. 

Chronicling the difficulties of long distance love, "Satellite" is a poignant  tale, delivered by the deep and emotive voice of Justine. Having received the nod from the don of dance music Pete Tong for his recent "Big Ben" EP, ilan Bluestone's rework keeps the frenetic energy of the original at its heart; a scintillating groove offsetting the rich uplifting orchestral breakdown. With a crashing crescendo and euphoric synth surge, ilan has captured the spirit that made OceanLab the soundtrack to so many summers.

We Are All We Need

Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston - We're All We Need (Pete Tong BBC Radio 1 Debut)

I wrote ‘Joy’ as an expression of gratitude to the people I love; my girlfriend, family, and friends. They’ve been by my side through the coldest and darkest moments; through my grief. My last single, ‘Better days’ represented the transition out of winter into spring. ‘Joy’ represents the summer, a time to share happiness with the people I care about the most. They are my Joy.

Fresh from Breaking Bad on the Main Stage of Electric Daisy Carnival (which saw Bryan Cranston resurrect his infamous Walter White character on stage with the band in front of 80,000 people), UK trio Above & Beyond release their latest single 'Counting Down The Days'. 

Taken from their Billboard dance number #1 album 'We Are All We Need', 'Counting Down The Days' is also Above & Beyond’s first track to feature the vocals of former Mercury Music awards nominee Gemma Hayes. 

"We first came across Gemma through a bootleg mix that found its way on to our Group Therapy radio show ," said the band's Jono Grant. "Coming from a folk background, her voice has an honesty and emotion to it that really stood out from the pack and felt a perfect match for this song co-written with Victoria Horn." 

Set against a laidback summer groove, Gemma's hazy vocal tones perfectly capture the melancholia of the drifting relationship on the Radio Edit. 

A tried and tested favourite from their headline sets across the globe everywhere from the L.A. Forum to London's Brixton Academy, Above & Beyond's Club Mix is a high energy affair that showcases the immediacy and emotion of a peak time A&B set in style.

""Love Is Not Enough" is a song from the heart about the challenges in a relationship that can arise outside of a core feeling of love for someone. Love is not enough to be with someone - a relationship needs to "work" day to day." Jono Grant, Above & Beyond

A poignant tale of a deep love that wasn't quite to be, Above & Beyond's "Love Is Not Enough" ( feat. Zoë Johnston ) is the the latest single from the widely acclaimed album "Group Therapy" - last year described by Mixmag as "artist album of the year".

An elegant, melodic progressive builder with stirring strings and poignant vocals from Zoë Johnston , "Love Is Not Enough" perfectly captures the bittersweet beauty of intense, but ultimately unsuccessful relationships.

Adding a stadium-sized energy to the track, the huge, groove-fuelled Above & Beyond Club Mix is also included in all its riff-driven glory - and has been receiving huge responses on the trio's recent North America tour.

Maor Levi & Bluestone add their own big room trance 2.0 twist on things, US house heavyweight Kaskade contributes an uplifting house remix, while the prolific prodigy Mat Zo contributing a future funk drum & bass remix under his MRZO guise. An ethereal bass interperation from Synkro completes the package.
