January: 7 hard dance releases you need to hear this month

Alf Graham 'Bad Habits' (Solid State Digital)

Another month and another release from the SSD Camp, and although we’re disappointed Alf has used a ‘borrowed’ vocal for ‘Bad Habits’, it doesn’t take away the shine of it being a great hard house track. Even if it’s a little tame in terms of ideas and fresh direction, it still carries bundles of energy. Check out other releases on this label for a really current view of the scene’s direction, too, because it’s got some absolute gems.
