3hrs....

The countdown is on. It's been a hectic week, many late nights but finally it is approaching the weekend, and what a weekend it's shaping up to be. Tonight you have the choice between Feadz & Mr Flash at Naive, Thunder Disco Club at SWG3 and of course Death Disco tomorrow night at The Arches...it's a good predicament to be in!

So, less get some local tunes cranked:

LOCAL HERO:

I've now heard nearly all of the remixes for the upcoming Heartbeats compilation 'Change Your Tune' and to put it bluntly, it is sounding fucking huge. You can download a copy on Dec 7th, but in the meantime check out Rob Etherson's slamming techno remix of 'Breathe' by Barrientos. Building ever so menacingly and teasing you with a comparatively soothing breakdown, the drop hits like a swab of mace to the genitals.

Peace is becoming no stranger to the playlists of Synth at the moment, with an ever changing sound which refuses to be catogorised, he stradles a multitude of genres with the greatest of ease. On his latest offering, 'Broken Ribs', gorgeous pianos and cosmic synths climax in a vacuum of fading energy. Catch Peace on supporting duties at Naive tonight.

Peace - Broken Ribs



Next up Dersonna takes Fatboy Slim to the grindhouse with this slamming re-rub of 'Gangster Tripping'. Pulsating basslines take you deep into pits of hell before spitting you out to enjoy one last moment of jovial frivolity in the carnival inspired breakdown, but before you know it, the bassline comes back with revenge, taking absolutely no prisoners. I think the word I'm looking for here is 'bangin'.

Finally, it's time to get progressive on your ass with Daniel Donnelly's massive track 'Sias' which has recently got signed to Florida based label Miami House Muzik and is fully deserved of some widespread exposure. I think there can be a fine line when it comes to progressive and trance, it's quite easy to just use the biggest synths and breakdown's possible in that search of euphoria but here Daniel maintains composure throughout, constantly building on a scintillating groove.
