Get in the ring.


Tom picks: Little Boots - Shake (Azari & III remix) Little Boots - Shake (Azari & III remix) by LittleBoots

To be frank, my only memories of Little Boots are a catchy pop tune which I can't remember the name of and fancying her on Buzzcocks. I thought she'd been lost to history – but no, she's back with an absolute bitchslap of a tune. The original is great in its own right, but this remix by Azari & III (you''ll never go too far wrong with them) drag it down into darker territory, with an end product that'll have you jacking for your life. Superb.


Emma picks: Delilah - Love You So (Joe Goddard remix) Delilah - Love You So (Joe Goddard Remix) by Mixmag

This new Delilah track gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. The follow-up to her hit debut 'Go' which sampled lyrics from Chaka Khan's 'Ain't Nobody', this is bound to be every bit as successful. A powerful, moody song about unrequited love, it creeps into your soul and refuses to leave. Here, Joe 'Hot Chip' Goddard gives it a nice makeover, letting the vocals do most of the talking, synthesizing the strings and ramping up the bass to make it more dancefloor friendly. "You know I love you so, and so, and so, and so, and so..."


Lowri picks: Maceo Plex - Stay High Baby Maceo Plex - Stay High Baby [Clip] by GetDownGood

Deep, dark, criminally seductive... Now who doesn't like those four words imbibed in music? The absolutely sizzling 'High and Sexy EP' launches Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio label. This is track one - and is just perfect in every way. The hook is pure sex, the beat moody and drenched in soul - but with the perfect heads-down-lets-move toughness required for a true dancefloor smash. Can not get enough.
