Lowri Picks: Miguel Campbell - Something Special
Miguel Campbell Something Special (Hot Creations) by Gouranga

This tune simply cannot wander by without being featured here. If you haven't heard it yet, where have you been? One of the tunes of the summer in Ibiza, an offering that has already shot Miguel Campbell skyhigh, I can't get it out of my head. It infects my dreams, is on my tongue as I wake. It's got a delicious, creeping bassline that tucks in over the vocals, crawls up your spine and gets under your skin. Something special, sexy, wonderful.

Tom A Picks: Maceo Plex - Can't Leave You Maceo Plex Can't Leave You (Original Mix) by Gouranga

A super slick technical prowess coupled with Derren Brown style skills of dancefloor manipulation have made Maceo Plex one of 2011's success stories. Tightness and subtlety have been key in house this year, and while this possesses all the typical moodyness we can expect from a tune on Crosstown Rebels, the plucking guitar adds a danceability which, in my opinion, has been lacking in many of the label's biggest outputs. This is a winner at any time of the night.


Danny Picks: Eats Everything - Entrance Song Eats Everything - Entrance Song (Pets Recordings) by EatsEverything

The intoxication of deep house can’t be underestimated. It embodies a ‘leave your attitude at the door’ vibe, tapping into the communal congregation element of club culture devoid of ego. We are all here for the greater message, the music. Eats Everything entrances and captivate with whispered melody and booming bass drums that are tuned to create the bass line. It’ll leave all those around you facing the heavens with their eyes closed and with smiles of angels.
