The clublifeglobal gathering

Daveyboy has been Dj-ing for over fifteen years, he's always had a love for the dance music during this time, and still does..!! There are so many great tracks coming out, so Davey has put together a Tech House Top Ten of some of the tracks you will hear on his Saturday night shows.

DJ Oblivion has been Dj-ing for 2 years in that time he has played at local venues, and has his own show on Club Life Globals Progressive house and Tech stream Escalate Radio. Here are his fav 10 tech tracks so far this year.

Seamless Soul brings you the new release from Hollands Dave Mayer. This features the vocal talents of Louis Hale and will definitely take your mind back to the days of quality house music that has firmly re established itself once again.

What do you get when you mix two of the finest deep and soulful masters in the studio together? The answer is a track titled ‘Always’. With the return to the scene of a more classic house sound, Franco and Hector have come up with a new old school gem. Blending ‘back in the day’ beats, classic synth sounds and vocal cuts, all the qualities of an old Def Mix track combined with a feel of Kerri Chandler. Some things are best left untouched and this is one of those tracks – hence no remix!

Relief Records Green Velvet and Phill Kieran on a mission to revive Techno. This EP is one hell of A bargain giving you two awesome reworks of that Epic Techno Track.

"Unreleased" is a new proposition from the Loco Records label. The release contains tunes that have not been put out in a digital format before. This very EP is composed of remixes of two tracks by Salvatore Agrosi feat. Lazarusman, and Karol XVII & MB Valence. As first, we have a remix of "Your Eyes" from Salvatore Agrosi in cooperation with an African poet and vocalist Lazarusman, delivered by Spieltape.

Lost My Dog’s annual jaunt to the Sonar festival comes this year with a five-track sampler featuring a mixture of LMD artists old and new. Like the Sonar festival itself it’s an international affair as label stalwarts Pete Dafeet and YSE (both UK) are joined by last year’s star find Acid Andee (Spain) and newcomers Sek (Greece) and Angelo Draetta (Italy).

Ableton, in conjunction with Soniccouture, presents Electric Pianos, a software instrument consisting of two carefully sampled classic electric pianos – the Rhodes Stage 73 and the Wurlitzer 200A. The nuanced sound and dynamics of these legendary keyboards have been expertly captured by Soniccouture, with every key – and its release – recorded at many velocity levels using vintage equipment. 70 Instrument presets - tailored for perfect integration within Ableton Live - provide the characteristic sounds that made these electric pianos famous. Controls for effects, dynamics and EQ let users dial in just the right tone for their own music.

Miki Maus - Do It EP on Maquina Music

After remixing Shades Of Gray on their critically acclaimed ‘Soul Machine’ album, Lexy (of Lexy & K-Paul) is back for another collaboration with the duo. The track titles suggest that there’s some cheeky action going on here as deep house, nu disco and the occasional sample are thrown into the melting pot. The 2 track EP, which will come out on vinyl as well as digital, is released on Lexy’s own label Moensterbox.
