Premiere: Mosca turns up the heat with a peak-time, high-tempo zinger

Turn the volume up and prepare yourselves

Dutch label Will & Ink has put out a mighty fine set of EPs. Ran by Frtis Wentink, the nine releases so far comprise of records from Malin, Yaleesa Hall and Wentink and Steve Mensink under their own Will & Ink alias.

To mark the tenth release on the imprint, there will be a brand new set of remixes of selected Yaleesa Hall x Malin tracks. If you're familiar the Malin part of the duo then you'll know that Malin Genie is in Mandar who we had in the Lab last year, one of our favourite performances.

'Second Lucas' has received the remix treatment from Mosca and we have to say, nothing could have prepared us for such a high-octane, high-tempo monster. While the original is a dense, focused techno track, the remix is an no-holds-barred zinger.

The Not So Much boss takes no prisoners with fierce, rolling drums employed from the outset. Intergalactic whizzes and zips fly in and out of focus but it's all about that feverish percussion. When you hit the final straight, things get decidedly techier and deconstructed, which is never a bad thing.

This one will put fire in your belly and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Bravo Mosca.

The Yaleesa Hall x Malin remixes will be released on January 30
