April: 10 big tunes you need to hear this month
From Louie Vega and Lone to Mad Rey and Matt Karmil
9 Tracey Thorn
'Sister' (Andrew Weatherall remixes) (Unmade Road / Caroline Internationa)
Readers of a certain standing will know that Andrew Weatherall is as important to club culture as anyone who came before or since, so these two remixes are something to be savoured. The original’s a natty, nine-minute disco epic to boot.

10 Matt Karmil
'Tell Me Why' (Studio Barnhus)
It’s a warm welcome back for Studio Barnhus, undoubtedly one of our favourite labels and now with added sunshine thanks to ‘Tell Me Why’ by the other MK in house, Matt Karmil. This four-track EP follows recent appearances on Idle Hands and Smalltown Supersound, and oozes soulful serotonin.
