Honest - ?????

"I know that you've got everything but I've got nothing here without ya." Honest brings some authentic lost-love house and garage vibes to this untitled (or titled ?????) stomper that was uploaded about a month ago. 

Working off the pre-chorus vocal sample from Ariana Grande's single One Last Time, Honest brings what will sound familiar to many following the top 40 scene, and twists it into fitting into this vibey house jam, producing a catchy club tune with some crossover value that sounds fresh and very different from the source of the sample. This is a solid and creative rework of the sample, and overall a great bit of production work that only gives the faintest tinge of guilty pleasure.

There doesn't appear to be anything hinting to any official release, and this one isn't looking downloadable at this time.  Settle for the stream, and stream the hell out of it - it's that good.

MORRT - Realize

MORRT is back with another free EP that he is gradually releasing on Soundcloud over the next few weeks. If you have been following him on any of his social media, he's teased some material that he's been working on, and the first track he's put out here is the end result. Realize is the first track from the EP, which was uploaded on Monday and has a dreamy house and garage club vibe all the way through. The sound is along the same lines of his arguably slightly poppier recent release Dive Right In, and in the same stream of particularly high quality music that he has been releasing.  We're looking forward to hearing the rest of this EP as it slowly rolls out. If you're feeling this, grab the free download through the shopping cart link in the player below, or just click here.

Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk (Them Next Door 2015 Remix)

London based Them Next Door have launched their Soundcloud account with their first track, a remix of Wynter Gordon's Dirty Talk from a few years back.  For the first track, it's gained a lot of early traction, and for good reason - it's a great remix!  Wynter Gordon's original vocal sounds virtually untouched aside from some chopped and looped bits in a couple areas - but the majority is still very much recognizable as Dirty Talk.  Them Next Door then drops a nu school throwback dance vibe on the remix, and the rest is history. If you liked the original back in 2010, it's likely a safe bet you'll enjoy this remix.  Them Next Door made it easy to pick up as well, releasing this as a free download for following their new Soundcloud account.

Pat Lok - All In My Head ft. Desirée Dawson

This one is a spectacular deep house track with great vocals courtesy of Desirée Dawson. All In My Head has all of the trappings of a pop influenced contemporary deep house track that is sure to have crossover value from house sets to the mainstream clubs and anywhere between. The higher keys give a nice melodo-percussive element, with the familiar future house style bassline. Desirée Dawson's vocals round out the track nicely.  Pat Lok was kind enough to put the track up in its entirety before release, so have a listen in the player below.

All In My Head will be released by Love & Other Records, but there is no set release date as of yet.  The UK iTunes store gives an expected release date of February 9th 2015
