Chicks Luv Us, the French DJ/producer duo consisting of Julien Nerani and Anthony Fonseca, has swiftly become a dynamic force in the dance music scene. Their new single, landing on Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label, finds the pair on fine form, with a couple of infectious house tracks, backed with a remix from Seb Zito.


Across a 15-year career, the duo have been recognised for their gritty and groovy house sounds, dropping highly acclaimed releases on labels such as Desolat, Hot Creations, elrow Music and Kaluki Music.


On ‘Express Yourself’, M1 organ riffs bounce around a tight a crispy drum track, laced with micro vocal samples and swaggering bass.  Seven Dials label boss, and purveyor of slick garage and rave house sounds, Seb Zito delivers a first-class remix, pumping up the original and adding some acidic tones to the underbelly of his tasteful version.


A rolling four to the floor deep and soulful club cut is served up ‘French Heart’, concluding a stellar release from the French duo.

Electronic/house pioneer Curtis Jones shouldn’t need any introduction whatsoever. In case you haven’t been paying attention, however, the man sometimes known as Green Velvet, Gino Vittori and a whole other bunch of names is kind of a big deal. 

Now, his first massive record Percolator (originally known as Coffee Pot (It's Time for the Percolator way back in 1991) returns to dance floors with an absolutely banging new set of remixes. 

Those in the know will already be all over the Claude VonStroke, Riva Starr & Major Lazer mixes. Christmas is coming early though as we now bring you even more hotness this time from Zombie Disco Squad, Derrick Carter & Junior Sanchez, with mixes that so far have only exclusively seen the light of day at www.cajual.com

And for the big room floors, go straight to the Mixin Marc & Lex Da Funk workout. 

As you might have gathered, this is one preeeeeeeetty special release. With names like these on board, all we’ll say is yes, it is as good as it looks.
