BLOG BURNER:

Other than Seiji, London's Sbtrkt is potentially one of the most defining and exciting up and coming producers in modern UK Bass. With a sound which perfectly captures the continual blur of ever weakening genre boundaries, his is the sound of the last ten years of underground dance music fused into one. Forthcoming single 'Living Like I Do' featuring fresh vocal talent Sampha begins with a deep sub-bass before rolling out into a beautiful Garage hybrid. This is the definitive sound of now.

And since it's Valentine's day, we also thought it appropriate to include this absolute gem from Jesse Ware & Sampha. Hearts are melting...



Next up, our favourite Aussie producer, Cassian returns (finally) with some new material. Entitled 'Getting High', this features on the forthcoming 'I Like What Your Doing EP' and simply emanates funk. With a disco-elastic bassline, an infectious vocal cut and some hugely uplifting piano chords this is summer come early, which I guess makes sense considering the time of year in Australia.

Anyone else getting a teency bit tired of squelchy basslines and high-pitched bleeps? Thought so. Things are going deeper in 2011 and there's a huge wealth of gorgeously arranged music out there to caress your dancefloor. Take this from Miami-based producer Danny Daze, a forthcoming single on Disca Bueno 'Fall Away From Love' wraps it's arms around you, holding tight from start to finish.

We just had to feature the Clare Maguire remixes this week, but which one? The sultry singer-songwriter from Birmingham has been gifted with some incredible producers on remix duties for her new single 'Save The Last Dance' but it's Danny Byrd & Chase & Status who really shine. C&S take it down the same root as Breakage did with 'Ain't Nobody', while Danny Byrd pumps it full of energy, leaving us gasping for air...
