Expertly blurring the lines between Techno and House, Drumcode’s Ben Sims has produced a blue-blooded dance floor filler.
Released at the end of May this year, Benoit & Sergio's shimmering melodica Let Me Count the Ways is already proving to be one of the hottest tracks this year.
Capturing that hazy, sticky late-night summer feel perfectly, it slides purposefully through House cascades into more brooding and detailed Progressive territory.
Darin Epsilon's on-going Perspectives series has been a favourite for years now. Split into two parts, each episode features a showcase mix by a guest Dj, along with a second mix by Darin himself.
Although Darin's mixes typical focus on new and forthcoming releases, he never fails to weave anything less than a deep, musical journey through the more subtle and textured avenues of procedural House music.
Often tapping into the best parts of classic Trance music from back in the day, Darin's keen ear for contemporary Progressive electronic dance music unearths gem after gem that you'll rarely hear anywhere else.
And if the mention of Trance sends you into convulsions – at the thought of the myriad Best Of's farted onto supermarket shelves by trashy mass-market labels seemingly every week (seriously, what the fuck happened to Ministry of Sound..?) – rest assured I'm referring to the classic, uplifting, and melodic Trance that bloomed in the early '00s.
Continuing our love affair with pushing Thom Yorke through a couple of synths and a drum machine, here's a fantastic House remix produced by Gigamesh.
