Exclusive Preview: THE MAXX - "Savin' Myself" (Mantree Records/CD Promo)

Rasmir presents some serious deepness here with "Savin' Myself" courtesy of The Maxx. The 'Deep Mix' is as deep as it gets and has a raw and funky underground feel to it, with stompin' beats and melodic keys leading the way for the sexy vocals and spaced-out synths. The 'Dub Mix' is great alteration with some extra funky elements and crazed-out keys. The 'Percussive Mix' puts the percussion elements and drums center stage to give the track a resistless tribalized feel. This very mix is taken to the next level on the 'UK Mix' which adds some hot funky flavors to it.

 

Beppe Gioia returns to CyberJamz Records with the resistless "Untitled Fantasy" coming in three different flavors. The 'Main Mix' is a deep affair featuring a sexy catchy piano line, classic strings and sexy male vocals over thumpin' beats that altogether create a mesmerizing vibe on the dance floor. The 'Deep Dub Mix' goes deeper and gives the track a more minimalistic feel, with reduced piano parts while some wicked accordion riffs are added. Lastly the 'Lounge Mix' is beautiful downtempo with a jazzy touch.
 

Exclusive Preview: EDDIE NICHOLAS - "I know A Man" (CD-R)

Our man Eddie Nicholas returns to Spirit of House with yet another slammin' track. "I Know A Man" uses a deep'n'funky backing groove enriched with sweet percussion elements as playground for Nicholas' incomparable vocals, wicked synths and a phat organ ride. The result is a soulful yet absolutely irresistible track that is guaranteed to rock the dancefloors.

 

We tend to forget about vinyl-only releases in the digital age we are living. This is exactly what happened to this beauty produced by Gene King that we completely overlooked when released in December of last year. "Changes" features a sensitive vocal by Sacha over a deep yet smooth groove enriched with sweet percussion and warm melodic keys.  The 'Shelter Genetix Dub' takes things deeper, giving the track a resistless, slightly electrofied underground feeling. The 'R&B Mix' relaxes the vibe to give the track a more laidback feel, while the 'Reprise' adds some extra keys and funky flavors.

 

The first release on the brand new DAE Deep imprint is courtesy of Ciappy DJ and Pablo who team up with singer Savio Vurchio on this wonderful production with a beautiful live orchestration full of lovely keys, jazzy sax and passionate vocals. The 'C&D Original R&B' version is a marvelous down tempo take perfect for those romantic moments. The ' Soul Live Elements Main Mix' takes the track to the soulful dance floors while keeping the vibe laidback and organic. Lastly the 'Ciappy DJ & Davide Murri Classfull Remix' is firing things up for some serious funk spiced peak time action.

Next is the acoustic "Beautiful" by India Arie (from her 2001 Acoustic Soul album) built around a stormin' beat that harmonizes perfectly with the acoustic guitar and lovely vocals.
 

Music Plan Tracks present a relentless track featuring sexy spoken words and vocals by Big Mama over a fiercely stompin' beat enriched with lush chords and synths. The 'MP Killa Dub' has an electronic edge to it, while the 'Colors Mix' replaces most of the vocals with strings and lovely keys. The 'Dubbin Clubbin' version is all about a catchy piano line over an irresistibly kickin' groove. Finally the 'Twinbeat Foggy Night Remix' is a deep and hypnotic affair that gets into electronic territory towards the end.

 

This slammin' EP lets you choose between four differently flavored deep house tracks. First up is "Beat The Street", a deeply stompin' track featuring phat electronic snyths and jazzy piano riffs that together create a hypnotizing vibe. "Dirty Disco" is on an old school flavored disco-funk tip with some great breakdowns included, while "Pretty Sucker" is a laidback deep house track with electronic synths perfect for late night / early morning play. Lastly there is "Keep It Coming" that is intensifying the vibe with deeply rumblin' groove and catchy keys.
