Every month we round up the best of Mixmag's music section. Here's what went down during March...

March has been a bumper month for bangers on our SoundCloud so we've gathered the best of the best.

After last year's amazing Moby remix of Monkey Safari, the German duo turned the tables and remixed the pioneer's latest track, one we've been hammering hard.

Everyone's favourite Italian stallion Marco Faraone made a triumphant return to Adam Beyer's Drumcode label with the almighty Climax. We've been waiting for this one for a while and it didn't disappoint.

It was International Women's Day earlier in the month and we celebrated with streams all over the world from the likes of B. Traits, La Fleur, Gina Turner, KLP and the Discwoman collective.

Check out the above, and much more, below.

Premieres

Moby & The Void Pacific Choir 'Almost Loved' (Monkey Safari remix)

When Moby remixed Monkey Safari's 'Walls' last year you all went crazy for it and this month Monkey Safari got their own back with a dark, techno remix of 'Almost Loved'. Deep and brooding is the theme here, we love it.

Catz N Dogz 'Good Touch' ft Eglė Sirvydytė (Jamie Jones remix)

When Catz N Dogz released their album 'Basic Colour Theory' last October, we revelled in their cheeky house stylings and now we've been offered up a whole remix LP and it's huge. Our pick of the bunch? Jamie Jones's chunky edit of 'Good Touch'.

Aïsha Devi 'Mazdâ' (Mind:Body:Fitness remix)

Berlin-based Mind:Body:Fitness also gets a run out, working 'Mazdâ' into a loud/quiet rollercoaster of shiny, kinetic techno. With the EP coming via Houndstooth you know it's got a gold-standard seal of approval.

Marco Faraone 'Climax'

Marco is one of the nicest guys in dance music but that doesn't mean his music is the same. He's created a snarling techno monster for Drumcode and it's been bubbling for a while now. We're chuffed to have the full premiere and you should be too.

Shit Robot 'End Of The Trail' (Roman Flügel remix)

Shit Robot has been a staple of DFA Records since the NYC-based label was conceived and his new album is about to drop. What better way to get us excited than to enlist the don Roman Flügel for a remix. Roman always goes in and he's done it again with 'End Of The Trail'.

B.A.D.S 'Hous-O-Matik Hom-O-Patik' (House of Ties remix)

He's easily the most flamboyant and ferocious DJ on the circuit and Mr Ties' remix of 'Hous-O-Matik Hom-O-Patik' is every house lover's dream. Big saxaphone, prolonged drops and one-naughty-as-fuck bassline.

Maribou State 'Rituals' (Sasha remix)

Well this is a match made in heaven, isn't it? Maribou State just released 'Rituals' on Sasha's Last Night On Earth imprint and who better to remix it than the daddy himself. Lush.

The Klinik 'Moving Hands' (Helena Hauff remix)

She was one of our stars of the year in 2015 and for good reason, Helena Hauff is one of the most badass DJs and producers around. Her hellfire electro and techno has proved a hit worldwide and this remix of The Klinik is a slice of savage brilliance.

Pet Shop Boys 'The Pop Kids' (MK Dub Radio edit)

MK has the golden touch, we all know that and his remix of the new Pet Shop Boys track is radio magic. With a new album on the way, we're going to be seeing a lot more of the Pet Shop Boys, let's hope all the remixes are as strong as this.

Mixes

Impact: DEBONAIR

Our first Impact mix of the month came from the high-rising DEBONAIR and if you're after an hour with a sufficient amount of stomp then look no further. She's just played at Bloc Festival and you can catch her on NTS every week if you want more eclectic selections.

In Session: Spencer Parker

Spencer Parker has to be one of the most enthusiastic DJs around and that's apparent in his selections and his dance moves. The Berlin-residing producer seamlessly blends house, techno and disco in one of the most fun mixes we've had all year. Fuck yeah, Spencer.

In Session: Nervo

As one of the biggest EDM duos in the world, we've always rated Nervo highly because they've never just focused on the big room drops. Their In Session features some weighty house and undercover gems, proving our theory that they know their shit.

Impact: Olin

Everyone knows Chicago has one of the richest musical heritages in the world, especially when it comes to dance music. Smartbar is perhaps one of the most-lauded spots in the city and we got an Impact mix from its resident and booker, Olin. This one's deep.

In Session: Mr Ties

She's one of the most flamboyant and ferocious DJs around and Mr Ties recording an In Session for us is a very special occasion indeed. Expect the unexpected, well actually, you can expect some damn fine house and techno from one of the world's best.
