New this week...

The long-awaited successor of mega-hit ‘Faces’ has finally touched down. Melting the sounds of Ashley Wallbridge and Andy Moor, is the enthralling ‘World To Turn’ ft. Gabriela. 2012 is a year sparkling with promises. Not only did it bring Ashley Wallbridge’s ‘The Inner Me’ album, but it will also reveal another highlight: the debut album of Andy Moor. Two highly anticipated albums, which both feature ‘World To Turn’. Notching up the fresh breath of musical air from Ashley’s style and the skills and experience of UK’s finest Andy Moor, it makes up for another strong addition to EDM’s hotlist. ‘World To Turn’ spins around a solid pair of vocals, playful tricks, warm melodic work and a tight set of beats.

A regular contributor since the heady days of They Always Come Back, Toronto’s Arnej Secerkadic makes a welcome return to Coldharbour with a big double release, exemplifying his distinctive take on chuggy yet melodic beats. Having made significant contributions to Markus Schulz’s Los Angeles ’12 release party celebrations and his inaugural Coldharbour Night during Winter Music Conference, Arnej’s release of We Unite has found itself under the spotlight. Much like his previous efforts such as They Need Us, We Unite boasts the Canadian’s typical rhythmic drive that’s sure to get the dancefloors moving. True Lies offers a darker alternative, and yields a late in the night / afterhours style feel. With Arnej spearheading Coldharbour nights in Montreal and Seattle, it’s sure to be a big favorite with the fans. Both We Unite and True Lies have received extensive play on Global DJ Broadcast. Both tracks should see Arnej’s name pop up in the playlists of many over the coming months.

Fighting silence, all the way from Israel, is the sole purpose of up and coming producers Gal Abutbul and Rafael Osmo. The guys pass with flying colours, hitting in with ‘Gliss’, ‘Livelli’ and Gal’s solo tune ‘Made of Love’! Gal Abutbul is no rookie to the game of music. It was his ‘Genelec’, released as part of one of Markus Schulz’ Coldharbour Selections packages, that got the eyes of EDM fixed at him. His ‘Made of Love’ rushes in like a warm wave of melody, proggy and deep. For the young Rafael Osmo things really started rolling with the release of his ‘Central Park’, in late 2011. This year, Gal & Rafael decided to team up and binden their strengths. Playful and sturdy, you’ll love the energetic sound of ‘Gliss’, as well as the tougher, maddening ‘Livelli’. Two outstanding productions, made for peak-time pleasure.

Colliding their sounds and letting it melt into one, is a challenge in itself. But Faruk Sabanci and Mark Sixma nailed it. With the melodic spark of ‘Starburst’, they’re ready to set things alight. Faruk Sabanci, a young Turkish talent, still under his 20’s but already winning the hearts of the trance addicts with the sounds of ‘Jessica’s Sanctuary’ and ‘As Faces Fade’. Mark Sixma, a Dutchman with experience and a thing for classical music, as heard on ‘Fade To Black’, ‘Paradise Lost’ and ‘Unspoken’. Combine the growling beats of one, with the melodic bliss of the other, and ‘Starburst’ kicks in. ‘Starburst’ has got a strong drive, rapidly unfolding from the deep, techy type of trance to a string-infused trancer. It’s got energy, peace and all the power to make you move.

Submissions releases are created by Chris Chambers with casual Lenox appearance. Its designed to be only Hardgroove and its structure is hard production with tribal elements, next to Recycled Phunk editions and standard releases on Phunkation. This 1st release starts with duo Chambers & Lenox who are heavily equipped on tribal elements that gets respected even by hardest nuts in business. "We always talked and wanted to start producing together but somehow never didnt,till now.With this collaboration tracks we have the head,tail,story,both experience and different techniques and whats most important heart. First track we made was already the best,we put all of our knowledge into it and it turns out so good.. Next was Pjano where we kept the hard bass idea but dropped the bongo section idea which left us room for piano and the whole idea was there. Since we had a winner on this ep we decided to make last one most rhythmic - Metric"

Melting the warm voice of Inger Hansen and the Balearic touch of Roger Shah into one, is their new collab ‘Dance With Me’. Taken from Shah’s ‘Openminded?!’ album, this one lights the deepest hours of night. If you’re looking for the perfect fusion of Balearic and rock, you’ll definitely fall in love with the collabs of Roger Shah and Inger Hansen. Both having their roots in Germany and sharing a big passion for music, resulted in 3 magical collaborations already. Now that ‘Breaking Waves’ and ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ have resounded, it’s time for ‘Dance With Me’ to warm your nights. Driven by guitar, led by Inger’s deep and powerful voice and riding a strong melody, ’Dance With Me’ moves you on the inside.

Following up to their collab Hope on Toolroom, Ruell and Rene Amesz make their brotherly appearance on Flamingo Recordings. When you see the name Rene Amesz appear, you just know it’s quality beats coming at ya and Express is no expection.

Matt Skyer has been making quite a name for himself over the past year with a string of high quality releases and first place in the Sean Tyas "Lift" remix competition. Earlier this year he released his first single on Discover Dark to critical acclaim and this eagerly awaited follow up looks set to create similar waves! Bad Trip is dark and dirty stab driven techno, cooked to perfection and served up just how we like it at Discover Dark. Its beauty is in its filth.....

Another huge slab of filth from Leon, this time he ups the tempo and thrashes out the beats to provide a track that will knock you off your feat. Big sounds for the summer of 2012 of Riot! Fast approaches its 100th release, the breakdown is epic leon & will leave you breathless before smashing you again right where it hurts - essential...
