- Hot Picks: Tanny Records Frontman Lucca Tan Shares Some of His Personal Favourites
Tanny Records roll out more killer grooves as Lucca Tan and Sammy Alexander link up for their "Stronger" EP with remixes from Retza and Somersault. The superb Stronger is a characterful, bubbly, late-night house cut with slick drums and steely tech drums. The bass is liquid and warm, and some trippy vocals and effects bring the whole thing to life in a way that will lock in the floor. Stronger (Retza Remix) then goes deep, with more stripped-back arrangements and rolling dubby chords sinking you into a warm, hypnotic groove. Stronger (Somersault Remix) shuts down with a punchy and cosmic future house sound with sleek synth lines rippling up and down the scales as neon lines leave trails in their wake. To celebrate his latest release, Tanny records head honcho Lucca Tan selects six groovers for his very own Hot Picks feature: Butch - No Worries This classic from the legend Butch was a big inspiration for me starting out in my early days on the decks! AGARIC - Who Made Up The Rules A little favourite of mine I have rinsed a few times on the D floor by Agaric. Ricardo Villalobos - Dexter A masterpiece in its own right by Ricardo Villalobos. Thursday feat. Sebastian Oehlschlegel · Tigerskin I have played this record many times for the closing track! It has a very special place in my heart! David Delgado - Bordel Some fresh fire from my brother David Delgado! You can't go past his unique grooves on a track! Son Of Sound / Jus Ed - I have You On My Side This is one of my all time must have tracks! Lets go, Lets go! Lucca Tan & Sammy Alexander's "Stronger" EP (incl. Retza & Somersault Remixes) is available now: Explore more Hot Picks: Hot Picks archive · Influences · All features
- Hot Picks: Emerging UK talent CHANNE shares some peak-time bangers
CHANNE broke onto Toolroom’s Radar in 2022 when she won their Academy Scholarship with PIPES for their remix of Ben Remember’s Track’ Break Through’. Her sound encompasses hooky riffs and melodies with her passion for old-school house and driving tech. She has laid down roots across the House genre, supporting some big names in the industry at events such as IN SESSION (K Klass, Jon DaSilva), Southport Disco Festival (Graeme Park, Lisa Millett), and Sonrisa (Paul Bleasdale). CHANNE’s Radio Show ‘Let’s Get Techy’ is the first Wednesday of every month at 18:00 on Data Transmission Radio after Vintage Culture’s Show. CHANNE’s latest release is on the mighty Toolroom Records as part of their latest “Leaders of the New School” compilation. You can check it out here: https://trx.lnk.to/LOTNS23V2AS. In honour of “Jump & Twist”, we’re delighted to welcome CHANNE with her very own Hot Picks selection: “The first four tracks were influential in the making of my latest track ‘Jump & Twist’. Tribal flavours and hooky vocals with big energy. The last five tracks are tracks that have been influential in my music journey over the years.” - CHANNE. HÄWK & Twolate - Dimini I love the energy of this track. The vocals are incredible, and I find this in all my sets right now. It’s a great mood lifter, and how can you not dance to this! Basement Jaxx - Jump & Shout This track just makes the room bounce. Love the vocals, the big horn and the overall vibe of this track. The build-ups are massive and hit so hard. Loads of Ibiza memories with this one. Crusy - Selecta As soon as I heard this song, I absolutely loved it. The drums are great, and the vocal hook is so catchy. Crusy really nailed it with this one. Twolate - Baila The tirbal style drums on this track are so good, and the vocal again is super catchy. It’s another track I always come back and listen to. Solardo & Maur - Power Switching things up now as this one reflects more on my first release, ‘Ecstasy & Love,’ and is still one of my favourite tunes. I love this track; it hits you in the feels and keeps you interested the whole way. And who doesn’t love a piano breakdown with that special sprinkling of the famous Maur’ Arp’. Purple Disco Machine - Body Funk Throwing a Disco Bomb in the mix here! This track instantly transforms me back into the Wild Corner at Hi in Ibiza with Paul Reynolds about 4 hours into his mammoth 7-hour sets. The whole room was completely invested in the music, and it was absolutely bouncing in there! It’s also one of the first songs I played at one of my first proper DJ gigs, and people kept coming up to me for weeks after saying ‘what’s that track that goes like 1,2 1,2 1,2 … 3,4’ Bicep - Glue Changing things up now. I couldn’t pick my favourite songs and influential tracks without including this one. This track just massively hits you in the feels. It brings back so many memories from so many different things. I think Bicep are absolute geniuses for this. Such a masterpiece. Faithless - Insomnia Going back to childhood influence with the next few now. It’s a track I have played literally thousands of times and am still not bored with! This absolute classic is one of the reasons I got into making electronic music. The soundtrack in my first car when I passed my driving test, this CD was on repeat every single day. The eerie backing music, the vocals, the massive lead - I just love it! Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy An absolute masterpiece of a song. Again, a huge part of my teenage years and all the memories associated with them. Another CD on repeat in my first car. This track brings so much emotion and is definitely a track that’s been a huge part of my life.

- Hot Picks: Sascha Dive Delivers a Deepened Selection of Underground Grooves
Sascha Dive - from the greater Frankfurt Area - has made a strong mark on the international house and techno scene for the past decade. With his first vinyl release in 2007, the deep house traveller is considered a young gun in the deeper fields of house music. Highly inspired by the godfathers of deep house, such as Moodyman, Chez Damier and Ron Trent, and the first waves of German house labels, such as Playhouse, Dive has established himself as a skilled producer and DJ since his first appearance. His musical range stretches from deep house to soulful minimal sounds and powerful techno. He has performed at leading clubs and festivals worldwide and released impressive music on labels such as Tsuba, Freebase, Deep Labs (Balance US), Raum...Musik or Stir15. Dive is also the mastermind behind the successful “Deep Vibes “label, with productions and remixes by himself and other artists such as Brothers Vibe, Robert Dietz, Christian Burkhardt, and Markus Fix. It comes as no surprise that vinyl enthusiast Sven Väth signed Dive to Cocoon Artists and Cocoon Recordings. Sascha’s latest work is an impressive remix in Pornbugs’ ‘Echoing In My Mind’ EP on Steve Bug’s Sublese Music label. To mark the release of his latest creation, we’re delighted to welcome Sascha with his own Hot Picks selection: Sascha Dive feat. Robert Owens - Beautiful People A track from the new EP on my home label “Bondage Music”, with whom there is now a strong relationship after I released my album “Back 2 Life” on their label. The track Beautiful People is a personal and emotional song. I always attempt to have a perfect mixdown for tracks on this label - a great piece to start a set with. Politics Of Dancing & Djebali - Simple Minds (Franco Cinelli Remix) Two amazing producers, Politics Of Dancing & Djebali, joined together for this EP. My favourite track is the remix by my friend “Franco Cenilli”. I have fond memories of his numerous tracks and mixes, which I have often played - an outstanding producer. Adiel & Tamburi Nero - Silezno I find this a perfect track to start a big-room DJ set! I particularly like the percussion elements in this track, and the deep voice is impressive! Julien Perez - Spacetime Interval I am a big fan of Julien’s track “Pussyselektor” on Girada Unlimited, amazing chords! The track “Spacetime Interval” is in a similar vein! Subb-An - Patterns Another of my favourite producers! This song has everything; a groovy bassline, very nice organ chords and pads. Simon Vuarambon - Afrika A young producer from Argentina from whom I have already often played his EP on Shanti Radio Moscow. The track “Afrika” is very much akin to this EP. Perfect material for the peak time. Janeret - Elevated An emerging producer who always delivers good quality music - I have played many records from him in my DJ sets. The whole EP Is amazing - Tech-House Vibes a la Terry Francis & Eddie Richards. Beanfield feat. Bajka– Tides (Art Department’s Roxy Blue Remix) We all remember the remix from Mr. “Carl Craig” for this beauty. The remix from Art Department goes more in a groovy direction. It was good to see that this release earnt a repress! The Craig Remix is another which I have often played. Dylan Forbes - Air Beneath This one is progressive with a touch of trance. I like the music from Dylan as it tends to remind me of the old Tech House Tracks Sasha was playing in the past. Great record. Marc Brauner - Weekender A wonderful Chicago House Track presented in a new way for 2023. The whole album from Marc, “Companions”, is very good throughout! The track “Weekender “is one that you can play at the end of a set and know everyone is going home with a smile! Pornbugs' 'Echoing In My Mind' EP (incl. Sascha Dive Remix) is available to buy/stream now on Sublease Music: https://subleasemusic.lnk.to/slm030.

- Hot Picks: Noana Dazzles With His Eclectic Electronic Selection
Noana had his first release aged 17 and has reached ever higher heights since then. The drummer grew up with a jazz musician father and is a genuine studio wizard who works as a sound designer, sound editor and composer for TV and film. He always brings a cinematic quality to his work, and as one-third of Leu Leu Land, an act signed to Sony Music Sweden and supported by Steve Angello through to Above & Beyond, he has remixed the legendary Giorgio Moroder and Britney Spears. Following his impressive “Afterlife” EP on Finnish label Youth Control, we asked Noana to serve us his very own Hot Picks: Pearson Sound - Red Sky Starting off this playlist with a fierce banger from Pearson Sound. Being a sucker for hostile Reese basslines and tight breaks, it was easy for me to fall for this one. Loving the hypnotic evolution from being intimate and hostile to becoming more friendly and open, with melancholic synth melodies and atmospheric elements coming in later on Leon Vynehall - Mothra This one is a precisely crafted piece of art from Leon Vynehall. Great textures and a hypnotic and irregular feeling dynamic melody with an atmosphere building up while you are busy focusing on the lead melody. There is something in this song that reminds me of Lorn’s big basses with dystopian pads that made the song make me feel at home very early on. Kidnap - Untroubled A minimalistic masterpiece from Kidnap. Perfect for calming you down. Absolute innocence. Tight rhythms, organic feelings, pads building up, taking you with them. Lovebirds - In My Soul ft. Stee Downes This has to be one of the tracks that I just never get tired of. A timeless classic that grounds you on every listen. This original length version especially has enough time to build up the vibe. London Grammar - If You Wait (Riva Starr Remix) This one still feels fresh, even if it’s almost ten years from the release. Loving how well London Grammar captured the feeling that something great is waiting to happen in the original. Riva Starr managed to enhance this feeling very well with his organic and warm drums that evoke a hint of calm and controlled excitement that keeps you going. Todd Terje - Ragysh One of my all-time favourites from the Norwegian synth legend Todd Terje. Loving the details in the drums, and what makes this song pop for me is the killer arrangement. This one takes its time to get you on with the groove to later lift you up in the air surrounded by magical arpeggios to later bring you back to the groove. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Blood In The Snow (Tibi Dabo Remix) The original is a brilliantly ethereal track. This remix has some exceptionally tight drum work from Tibi Dabo. If the feeling of being a young tree standing in the middle of a giant storm barely strong enough to stay up could be described with music, I bet this song comes really close to describing that, haha Joseph Ray - Cos Of You Transcending piece of art from Joseph Ray. This hits the right spot with the vulnerable vocal traversing around. Someone in the comment field of youtube gave this song a great description: a perfect mix of beauty and banger DJ HEARTSTRING - Met Her at Bäreneck Loving this pulsating banger of 90’s era trance aesthetic from German hyper house duo DJ HEARTSTRING. Being a millennial growing up in the late 90’s and early 2000’s it’s a bliss to experience new infectiously nostalgic killers like this one Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding - Miracle Growing up listening to both Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding, I’m not gonna lie that I’m not hyped and so deeply satisfied by this 90’s journey Calvin Harris is on right now. The phased outbreaks in the outro is just like the cherry on the top of the cake for me! Definitely one of the biggest tracks for me this summer.

- Hot Picks: Bae Blade gives us an insight into her eclectic music palate
Bae Blade is a star in the making, with her unique blend of electro, breaks, techno, and house underpinned by uplifting energy running throughout her performances and releases. It's easy to see why she has already established a staunch following in the underground. Bae Blade marks her newly expanding global reach with the insanely uptempo debut EP, four-tracker ‘Mixed Feelings’ on Partiboi69's Mutual Pleasure. Prepare for a full-on onslaught of hard-edged, hyperfast techno/breakbeat/trance spiked with catchy hooks from other genres/times, dark and dancefloor-ready. To celebrate the release Bae shared some of the colourful selections that have influenced her musical journey to date: Amadeezy - This Deezay Amadeezy is definitely one of my top favourite producers. The flow and the blend with the melody just hit the feels perfectly. It inspired my ‘Mixed Feelings’ EP for sure. Lenzman - Cherry Blossom In almost every one of my tracks, you'll find a breakbeat, and drum and bass, especially liquid DNB/funk, was what initially introduced me to the world of electronic music. Lenzman, in my opinion, is also a genius when it comes to conveying emotions through music. BINKBEATS - Little Nerves feat. Niels Broos A super cool jam session with loads of different instruments, all sorts of effects, and loops going on. Layering is key, and I'm trying to work that more into my process. It's really interesting to see how the track keeps evolving and changing. Underworld - Luetin I don't think I need to say much about Underworld. The entire album 'A Hundred Days Off' is just mind-blowing to me. Mac Miller - The Spins The song combines two artists who accompanied me a lot during my youth: Mac Miller and Empire of the Sun. Both are music genres that blend together so seamlessly. I absolutely love the fusion of multiple genres in one piece of work. Bae Blade 'Busy Overthinking' is out now on Mutual Pleasure here.

It is out now on Octopus Recordings, buy/stream here. He took time out of his schedule to sit down and shed some light on the music that has influenced him. Gabe & Marco Strous - Snogo (Extended Mix) Marco Strous is an amazing producer and this is an example of a very groovy dark tech house production that stands out. Yamil, Thimble - Real Love I love a timeless sexy vocal track and this is a perfect example. Super clean production with a less is more approach and perfect arrangement. Simple elegant vocals that are just enough. Kevin de Vries - Pegasus In the "wow how did he make this track category" I just want to give up producing it's that good :) Seriously, just a very mature dark melodic techno journey track that surprises and satisfies the listener with elite-level music. Made By Pete & Zoe Kypri - Horizon Red My favorite track of the year. Simple perfection. The vocals are as good as vocals get and it's just so smooth, silky, and groovy. Structure, sounds, arrangement, and groove are all next level. Daniel Steinberg - Take My Hand I love soulful vocals with a dark beat and this track delivers on the dance floor.

- Hot Picks: Lomike brings a lot of groove on his selection
Another Brazilian producer has been raising the heat of the local scene with his productions full of groove and class: Lomike. His more introspective sound line, with strong references to Minimal Deep Tech and UK Tech House, has already won over even Jamie Jones, who has been playing his edit of the track “H 2 Da Izzo” in various places around the world. Now, on just his third release, he released the TGDM EP on Gritty Records and even before the official release he already saw guys like Wheats and Detlef providing support on the title track. Its authentic sound brings a lot of glitches and raw textures that give a different look to his music. You can buy and listen through this link and check out his Hot Picks selection below with some of his favorite sounds of the moment: Track 01: Goosey - Can U Feel It A track by a friend I'm always playing, an up-and-coming name in the scene (a really good producer) and on a label that I also always play new releases on, which is CUFF by Amine Edge & Dance. Track 02: Sosa UK - Dusty Showbiz This shows my UK Tech House side, I'm passionate about this kind of track, explosive, just the way the dancefloor likes it, I love playing it and the reaction the audience gets. Track 03: Niteplan - 6 In The AM Typical British minimal, I'm very inspired by this artist and his productions, this is by far one of my favorites at the moment. Track 04: Wheats - Off The Wall My biggest reference in electronic music today... the best in Minimal, this EP was inspired by it, I was listening to it a lot at the time. Track 05: Joss Moog - Forever Pompin It defines my gangsta house origins with an elegance that shows the finesse of my musical research.

- Hot Picks: brazilian LUMERTZ on his way to international techno scene
Techno is more in evidence than ever and demands more and more originality from DJs and producers. The person who understands this is LUMERTZ, a brazilian artist who has lived in Australia since 2019 precisely to be in contact with the international techno scene. In these almost 5 years, he has absorbed a wealth of experience and now, finally, he is more than ready to take on his first commitments in Europe. He recently performed at two partner events of the Amsterdam Dance Event, in the Netherlands, his first time there. The first one took place at the Eat the Beat Showcase, with Metodi Hristov. After that, he participated in Kaligo Records Showcase, at 50: Hertz House & Techno Cafe. Soon, a new release from him will arrive on Kaligo Records, a Brazilian record label that is prominent in the country within the Techno scene. LUMERTZ evolved his sound towards a dirtier and more hypnotic aesthetic within Raw Techno, always adding a lot of speed and dynamics to his productions, which have already reached labels such as Tronic, Mavic Music and Noise Music. Here he presents us with his 5 choices that best represent his current artistic moment. Track 1: Rødhad, Ignez - VERMILLION 03 [220208.2] What I most like about this track is the progression of the bassline that follows constant along the whole track and the nice work with the vocal that gives a dark and mysterious vibe Track 2: Linear System - Hyperfocus Just like the previous track this one has that constant bassline and looped vocal that create a very dark and hypnotic atmosphere that is something I always try to transmit in my latest productions Track 3: PS11 - Primary Funktion (Lindsey Herbert Remix) I love a good remix and this remix from Lindsey is a good example of how to work with vocals, which lately have been a very present element in my tracks Track 4: KaioBarssalos- You Gotta Keep Going This track is a good example for me of a Detroit/ Dub track that has such a nice groove, a looped cord and vocal that fits all together and flows smoothly barely making you realize time flowing Track 5: LUMERTZ - Unblocked Unblocked is a very special track for me because it marks a new chapter in my journey as a producer, seeking for looped and hypnotic sounds. This track was named like that because I was stuck in a creative block for two months. Explore more Hot Picks: Hot Picks archive · Influences · All features
- Hot Picks: Cameron Glasgow shares 90's inspired collection of dancefloor anthems
Cameron Glasgow has been on the dance music circuit now since 2018, throwing sold-out parties in Belfast — hosting the likes of Partiboi69 and Sons Of Charlie, to more recently completing his very first UK and European tour back in May selling out shows in Helsinki, Dublin & Edinburgh. Further to this Cameron Glasgow has begun releasing music since 2022 already amassing 300k+ global streams and gaining support from industry heavyweights BBC Radio 1, Bicep, Joris Voorn, Kevin de Vries, and more. His next release 'No More Tears' continues on in the same fashion as Cameron's career, an anthem packed with rave-infused elements and raw emotion. We had the pleasure to get an insight into this precocious young talent's musical taste. Herd & Fitz ft Abigail Bailey - I Just Can’t Get Enough (H&F’s 2Risque Vox) This record is so special. It has all the feel-good elements in it, it’s ultimately perfect for closing a set on a high. That classic house vocal paired with the other elements from the guitar bass to the keyboards, it’s a timeless tune that will shake up dancefloors time and time again. DJ Heartstring - Never Let Me Go I couldn’t make this list without including a production from these two. This one’s my personal favourite from them, that 'Tell It To My Heart' sample completes it for me, that’s a huge classic in its own right. From uplifting synths, the trance bass line & those drums, this track takes on that classic Eurodance vibe which I’m all for right now, pure euphoria. X-Coast - Bailando 2023 First came across this one being played in Ibiza, and rightly so. Real Balearic vibes with it, love the Spanish vocal sampled from Paradisio’s timeless Eurodance track, 'Bailando'. The piano build also really brings those feel-good vibes. Banger from X-Coast and one I love to play out when I get the chance! Lime - Babe, We’re Gonna Love Tonight What a tune! I remember hearing this for the first time on New Year’s Eve years ago, Denis Sulta dropped it and the whole dancefloor went carnage. Absolutely timeless and will stay in my arsenal for years to come! Blue Hawaii - I Felt Love I love this track. The bass line, pads, and vocals gel together perfectly - this one gives me really good energy and has been part of my regular playlist for some time now. Cameron Glasgow 'No More Tears' is out now on Rave Residence Records here.

- Hot Picks: Belgrade's mnbv Shares Some Absolute Gems
Following the release of Gulou Home Studio’s ‘Satellite’ EP earlier in the year, GHS’ Aida Minibaeva (mnbv) returns to Andrew Meller’s REWLER Records imprint for her solo debut on the label with an impressive four-track offering titled ‘Your Touch’. Buy/stream it here: https://orcd.co/RWLR006. To mark the release of her latest work, we asked mnbv to join us as she delivers a fantastic selection of tracks for her Hot Picks entry: mnbv – Too Hot This is my favourite track on my newest EP on REWLER Records. It’s quite energetic and makes me dance whenever I listen to it. Kiki – Hallusa Stumbled upon this song from Bpitch Records while digging. Love how mesmerizing it is; I could listen to it on repeat. Skinnerbox – Gender Very interesting release on Turbo Recordings; the vocal sample and the tribal drums just get me! DJ Haus - Catch Your Breath (Coco Bryce Remix) None of my sets go without a couple of breakbeat tracks, so this one from Unknown To The Unknown would be just fine dropping it in the middle of the set to change the mood a bit. Lubelski – Feel Good Lubelski is one of my favourite producers ever. His baselines are to die for! All the elements in his tracks are always very tight and groovy, just like this release on Observatory Music. Miguel Lobo – Lemme Freak Like Miguel Lobo’s work for his very deep and techy groove, that kind of keeps you in anticipation. This track from Roush Label is a great example of that. Harvy Valencia – Wurdem This track from Harvibal is in my top 3 favourite tracks of all time. I can’t even count how many times I have played it. It is a pure raw groove. Sebastian Eric – Dancing Creatures I have a lot of tracks from this producer, but this one, in particular, I included in my sets many times. It has a very interesting, catchy and dark groove, with a lot of attention to detail. It came out on Ulfelde Records. Benjamin Fröhlich - Amos (Lauer Remix) Love to throw this track released on Permanent Vacation somewhere at the end; it is very musical and, in a way, happy and sad, which is exactly how I feel when coming to the end of my set. Richy Ahmed - Italo 80 To finish up my hot picks, I chose this indie dance track from Richy Ahmed’s released FourThirtyTwo. He has great stuff, and I love this one because of its retro vibe.

- Hot Picks: Irish Talent Ethos Delivers a Techno Masterclass
Multiple decades of fascination with electronic music have led Ethos to this stage of his life, drawing early influences from the likes of Kraftwerk and The Prodigy, recording tapes at a young age and listening to them repeatedly. This organic curiosity for music led him to 20 years worth of travel, working in clubs, and exploring different scenes and cultures before heading to Dublin, where he would learn to DJ and then begin to produce in 2022 with Elevator, bringing us right up to his first outing as a producer. Hot off the heels of his dynamite release on Hybrasil's Elevator Program "Devils Paradise," Irish producer Ethos joins us for the latest Hot Picks.

Pyramidal Decode - Circular Movement - Mnestic Records - MNSC005 Exciting Italian producer Pyramidal Decode who has graced Jeff Mills Axis Records, Warm Up Recordings and many other great labels to date, delivers with his Circular Movement EP on Mnestic Label.
