How Come?

One song that always comes to mind when i think of my high school day's is Phonique - For the time being, i think it's that association with some of the best times i have ever had that endears me so much to Phonique. So whenever there's a new set or track by him I'll always check it out. This time around I was blown away by what i found, a mash up of talent, with the combined talents of Phonique, Tigerskin and Ofrin. The slow powerful beat coupled with the eery vocals make this a solid tech banger. Enjoy it

What are the chances?

This year I decided that one of my aims was to see Martin Stimming play live, somewhere in Europe during my travels, however the strangest thing EVER happened. Turns out he's playing in my country, in my city, in fact a 15 minute drive from my house. EPIC! I can barely contain my excitement, it's ridiculous! Anyway below are the event details. My new track of Reflections is Silver Surfer, i never really paid much attention to it before. See you there

Deeper Sound Of...

Hello ladies and gents, i've got something for all you house junkies from rising S.A. DJ Lee M. Grimes. Lately he's been a constant feature on many facebook event pages as he's been playing a lot of gigs and soon the big bash @ Jet Night Club. Well here's a half hour soulful seduction of house beat, which might not be what he plays while out but quality regardless. Enjoy

Melt My Face!

Words escape me. Every month i eagerly wait for the likes of Jimpster and Shur-I-Kan to upload their latest sets/mixes. And each time I'm greeted with tons of new tracks that just get me more excited about house music. This month Jimpster has got quite a few awesome tracks, the first one oh my soul and the track @ 44min will make you flip your pants. Enjoy

Creature Of The Night

I'm dance-typing, this tune, is so awesome, it reminds me of the music I was exposed to when I first started clubbing but didn't have the maturity to appreciate. It's so mellow, jazzy-soulful and funky filled. Subtle yet big room, hmmm I guess it's time i keep an eye out for The Timewriter because this is just beautiful... please get this, for your own sake

The Timewriter - Creatures Of The Night

Stop Me, It's Too Late

My current obsession with deep house is in overdrive now because i chose to explore Jimpster's discography, and my word what a journey. My Jimpster playlist was on loop the day i graduated and it's the perfect backdrop to that day. This track has so much bounce and rhythm, even though it's rooted in deep house. Just bounce to it, oh and i must mention that i'm glad David k made the original

Sway Like You Mean It

Before We Say Goodbye is Donnacha Costello's new Ep and wow wow wow, i've necer been moved by so many songs on one EP ever. This particular track is a beautiful minimal-techy tune, that is silently moving, i've never felt such feelings for something so abstract ever. Check out It's what we do, possibly the best track of the year, so far ha ha

Mercyless

It's always embarassing when i mention that i've got a new track and someone quickly sets me straight that, actually no "It's been out for two years, which rock are you living under". Well in this instance i'll endure the humiliation due to the utter brilliance of this deep house banger. I'm a big fan of Fred Everything so i knew i was in store for something great, but the Atjazz vocal mix takes it to another level. It's mercyless

When Will This All Start

Even after listening to this track 100 times in 3days I'm still in shock as i type this. Basement Jaxx just floored me with this one. It's devastatingly epic! and from legends of the game. The vocals by Lightspeed Champion make this a timeless track, that's great to be melancholic to or just to lose your mind to. Wow!!

March of the Damned

I'll say this to make my self feel better, although i might not always provide you loyal followers with fidget, when i do it's A-grade Columbian good quality fidget. Trust Brabe to generously release an old remix he did to his loyal fans on twitter. This track is deceptive as it starts out like some indie electro jam, but it soon transforms into an intense rush of your senses and mind. Let go and Let live, thisisepichouse!

Hystereo - City Speak (Brabe Remix)

Muted Noise

I'm back once again with the renegade behaviour. This time it's my pleasure, scratch that, absolute honour to send this out into cyber space. Stimming and Ben Watt on a track, yes do not adjust your disbelief, the world is just coming to an epic conclusion. This track is a fusion of minimal and deep house, with such subtle and moving drums (stimming's forte). I wouldn't mind more collaborations from the two in the future, an epic pairing indeed with the amazing vocals of Julia Biel
