I've decided I'm quite excited about the onset of autumn now. The nights are getting longer for a start, who can honestly say they didn't get pissed off this summer when they got back to an afterparty at 4am only to have to shut the blinds half an hour later because the light pouring in was making you feel like a complete waster. There's also of course the influx of parties to look forward to seeing as there's nothing better to do when the weather is undecidedly shit. So with that in mind, here are some Autumnal beats to get you warm:
BLOG BURNER:
If there's one track that is getting people into a tizzy at the moment it's Jamie Woon's windswept masterpiece 'Night Air'. Blasted by the likes of Pete Tong and the rest of the dance music fraternity at Radio 1 the original is already getting huge attention. Here Ramadanman gives it a Burial esque re-fix, which at 7mins long is what I'd class as proper trip.

I've already declared Tensnake as my producer of the year after 'Comacat' literally wanked all over the summer, and here he solidifies that statement with another exceptional remix on the Scissor Sister's new single 'Any Which Way'. Echoing some of the original elements of 'Comacat' and elevated by a truly Balearic breakdown this is nothing short of brilliance.

And here's something a bit funky for you, hot off the press from Riva Starr (the biggest name in house right now?), is his piano laden remix of London based songstress Lauren Pritchard. It's standard Riva business on this one, vocal chops galore, irresistible loop action and a groove made for smiling (I'm aware how cheesy that sounds).

Finally, Mumdance have given UK G classic 'Battle' by Wookie a new lease of life this winter by enlisting the help of Esser for this rather classy cover version. If you were too young to catch this first time round, then rejoice as this cover is pretty faithful to the original and Esser has done a reet good job on the vocals. Nuff respect yo.
