With so much great music coming out of Holland there’s a real Dutch theme for the first three tracks.

We start with [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=173"]Estroe[/url] who continues to go from strength to strength with her productions. Released as part of a 5th Birthday celebration “CINQ” package for Offenbach based Connaisseur Recordings 'Driven' is one of the exclusive and specially selected remixes that showcases the label's unique and versatile approach to electronic music from names like Patrick Chardronnet, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=173"]Estroe[/url], [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=641"]Wareika[/url], Daso, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=703"]Afrilounge[/url] and Federleicht. Here 'Driven' is one of those tracks with a great slow build that eases you in, as the claps and beats develop, before the warm layered synths take over - the remix is c/o Distortion from Chicago.
Look out for the 3x12" vinyl, special 12” vinyl with three more exclusive tracks from Connaisseur’s back catalogue, the full digital bundle and more exclusive digital remixes.
[url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=280"]Darko Esser[/url]’s Wolfskuil has definately been building a fine reputation with a slew of quality releases. Here talented Nijmegen based Giorgios Gatzgristos [Bedrock | Kompakt]. Release Notes as follows: "It was only a matter of time, but Giorgos is back with yet another stunning EP on Wolfskuil. What can we say, we are just a big fan of his clever and original take on techno. That’s the main reason why he has been a staple in our roster since the beginning of the label.
[IMG]http://images.newsrecords.be/upload/release/thumbs/c1299764994.jpg[/IMG]
Rehearsal is a techno tale in 4 parts. A dark story with a moody ambiance and unexpected twists. Giorgos finetunes his outspoken productions and incorporates his broad influences wich range from dubby techno (Rehearsal 4), hypnotic tech house (Rehearsal 3), quirky electronics (Rehearsal) to even neo classical breaks as can be heard openingstrack Rehearsal 1. Arrangements are more detailed then ever before, like there was no rehearsal at all.
Gatzgristos keeps surprising and turning heads with every new release that sees the light of day. And we will keep giving him a platform as [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=543"]we love[/url] surprises as much as the next person."
After playing the original of ‘Blame’ a couple of weeks ago John gives us the parred down flipside. Remix maestro [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1047"]Tom Budden[/url] breaks JZ’s ambient original apart to create something edgier & darker - this one's a real club track.
As the WMC, Vagabond & Cameo's Bedrock Showcase loom Diggers delves into his record box to preview some of the music that will be rocking South Beach. Ruede Hagelstein´s 'Emergency' was one of THE floorfillers of 2010 and hailed as one of the best singles of the year in the reader polls of Groove, De:Bug, Resident Advisor and many more. The stonking batch of ‘Emergency’ remixes are guaranteed to liven up any party - on hand are [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=890"]Super Flu[/url] (aka Feliks Thielemann & Mathias Schwarz) to really let that sun shining feeling flood in.

Next [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=91"]Steve Bug[/url]’s imperious Poker Flat call on Spain's [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=762"]David Durango[/url] for an EP brimming with his infectious brand of tribal-infused tech funk. Title track 'Mosaic' is described as a "finely pieced-together display fusing tension, harmony and reduction in this seven minute trip into the outer reaches. Futurisic, yet rooted in earthy tribalism, its a spiritual, mind-altering trip!"

The vibe continues via Leeds c/o rising talent [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=913"]Midland[/url] who came to many’s attention with his Play The Game EP and remix of [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=552"]Caribou[/url]’s Sun which have been championed by the likes of [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url]. Here Diggers features the B-side of [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=913"]Midland[/url]’s Bring Joy EP - Dead Eye is a brooding percussive 4am number to get the floor locked onto things. Look out for remixes from Rekids boss Radioslave and a great Youandewan's Warehouse Dub of the title track.

John hits a trippy house vibe as Dolby & Roma debut for Dig Deeper - ‘Forever Mine‘ is guaranteed to get any dance-floor moving with it’s catchy theme, so it's no surprise that this track has been picked up by groove-guru [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=264"]Danny Howells[/url] for his forthcoming 'Phase One' release.
John closes proceedings with diverse Palermo pair Summed & Dot, who place lead track ‘Arlem’ in the hands of Tobias Freund [Ostgut Ton] who uses his 25 years experience in sound engineering to full effect; turning the original on its head by channeling the bass into a throbbing backbone as the synths create a warm yet powerful soundtrack.
