Griffiths & Dodd vs Ben Kaye 'Val1um' (Blessed Digital)
New breed-meets-established in this epic battle of studio warfare, and the result is something really exciting. The first bass drop is almost psy-trance with its amazing rolling bass and production clarity, while the breakdown is a huge fusion of vocals and strings that creates a constant element of progression before the track slams in with a full-on hard trance edge. Dancefloors will love this track, wherever you play it.

Starman presents Italo Bounce 'I Like Your Body' (Cheeky Tracks)
Kenny Hayes might be Clubland’s in-house producer, but outside of his day job he also writes music for a huge number of labels under various different aliases. He dons his feel-great, piano-led Starman style for new release ‘I Like Your Body’, which is a big-party pumper tailor-made for sunny days with hardcore elements and classic vocals dropping into the mix. It’s no-nonsense and smile-inducing bounce music, in the most inoffensive and positive way possible.
