The energetic beats and catchy hooks give the track a pop-infused, dancefloor-ready appeal, showcasing Ryot’s knack for infectious melodies. You Alone (PARIS Remix) PARIS closes the album with a stunning reinterpretation of "You Alone." The minimalist approach, combined with emotive synth layers and haunting vocals, leaves a lasting impression, wrapping up the remix album with a touch of introspective beauty. Overall, Midnight Mass – The Remixes stands as a dynamic collection that breathes new life into Will Clarke’s original tracks, offering diverse sonic landscapes that cater to both casual listeners and dance music aficionados. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

Adam F, Kokiri & Rae have revealed the three remixes of their forthcoming single ‘Harmony'.

The first comes courtesy of Kideko, alongside regular collaborator and friend George Kwali. The pair’s previous collaboration, ‘Crank It’ received heavy support from Annie Mac, quickly becoming an instantly recognisable dance floor hit. They’ve applied a similar approach to their rework of Adam F, Kokiri and Rae’s track ‘Harmony’, adding a bouncing bassline, skipping hi-hats and garage-style synth notes to Rae’s soaring vocals for a catchy, four-to-the-floor take on the record. 

Garage legend MJ Cole has also stepped up to add his touch to ‘Harmony’. A slow intro focusing on Rae’s original vocals leads into a fast-paced house bassline coupled with cascades of synths, complimenting the chopped-up vocal samples from the original.

Third remix comes courtesy of Brighton-based duo The Prototypes, whose high-octane sound catapulted them into the spotlight back in 2010. Since then, they’ve had several hit records, released a debut album, completed world tours, scored music for a film, had 8 Beatport no1s in a row and launched their own label. Their version of ‘Harmony’ builds up the tempo of the original, pairing strong piano chords and Rae’s vocals with a powerful drum and bass beat and dramatic breakdown.

‘Harmony’ is the result of the meeting of three differing musical minds; Adam F, the mastermind behind legendary drum n bass track ‘Circles’ on Positiva, has since gone on to win a MOBO award for his album ‘Colours’, had a hit with Dizzee Rascal, and founded Breakbeat Kaos Records alongside DJ Fresh - with whom he collaborated to produce ‘Believer’. Consistently diversifying and pushing his musical skills, Adam F has even worked on film scores, and co-wrote the top line for Secondcity’s no1 hit ‘I Wanna Feel’. 

Meanwhile, 25 year-old Liverpudlian Kokiri, whose debut on tastemaker label Love & Other ‘Retrospect’ was championed by Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Danny Howard, has already played a number of high-profile gigs at XOYO, Ministry of Sound, Egg and Ibiza Rocks despite still being relatively new to the scene. He is also a remixer in hot demand: in the last year alone, he has turned in reworks for the likes of Craig David, WSTRN, Tough Love and Wilkinson.

Rae, writer and featured vocalist, is in fact also a DJ, remixer and producer with a long history in the house music scene; her debut release was as lead vocalist and songwriter on Kings of Tomorrow’s 2008 anthem ‘Can’t Stop’ on Defected Records, whilst her most recent hit was as vocalist on ‘Take Me Away’ last year with SKT. Despite their differences, it’s clear that the trio share the same ear for production; ’Harmony’ showcases each of their skills to great effect. 

About Nothing Else MattersNothing Else Matters is the new record label founded by BBC radio 1 DJ and former BBC colleague Nigel Harding. It launched in huge style with 99 Souls’s hit ‘The Girl Is Mine’, and has since followed up with a mixture of both underground and radio-friendly releases, as well as a big event at London’s The Steelyard. 
Danny said about the label: “Everyday I’m discovering new tracks and extremely talented artists. Aside from supporting them on air and on the dancefloor, I’ve always wanted a way in which I can help even more people hear these incredible sounds.”

 [item value="10"] Adam F & Kokiri feat Rae -  Harmony[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The awesome Harmony is the new single by the legend Adam F with the upcoming talent Kokiri featuring the incredible singer  Rae and comes with two very tasty remixes. The original mix is majestic slow moving futuristic drum n bass track with early 90's rave infusions that will please the older ravers and the new generations as well. The strongest asset of the single is the fantastic Rae voice that is so powerful and crystal clear that simply awakes your senses and make you wanna sing a long and dance instantly. For the house floors two super funky remixes perfect for summer beach parties. Firstly Kideko & George Kwali remix is melodic deep future house version with classic deep chunky grooves, Ibiza style organ riffs and old school ravey synthy stabs. The vocal once again shines and inspires you to sing a long and let the night take the blame. MJ Cole remix is an excellent  updated of the so well known worldwide UK speed garage sound but in modern futuristic terms with tech house influences and great cool vocal snippets along with the melodic synthy riffs coming and going  creating that pleasurable vibe to uplift you instantly. Third remix by The Prototypes is an excellent addition as the Brighton based artists add their energetic drum n bass sound with very uplifting piano melody at the top and the excellent vocal shinning on top. If you like floating and tripping out in the fast lane then this remix will be appropriate for you!  It sounds UK Top 40 to me. #PureGold Love iT.[/content]

Following his Anjunadeep debut last year with 'Seven Summits EP', Matthias Vogt's distinct brand of intricate and emotive electronica has continued to turn heads, warranting support from industry tastemakers including Pete Tong, John Digweed, Dixon and Dusky to name a few. Hot off the heels of his latest single 'Matters', Vogt returns with another electronic gem 'Higher Love' featuring the smooth vocals of Swedish soul singer Jonatan Bäckelie. The package also features two deep house reworks from talented All Day I Dream affiliate Powel, a pair of textured dance-floor minded moments.

 [item value="10"]Matthias Vogt - Higher Love feat. Jonatan Bäckelie[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The beloved DJ & producer Matthias Vogt is back on Anjunadeep with a relaxing smooth electronic jewel called Higher Love. As always Matthias has an ear to choose the finest singers for his songs and on this one Jonatan is absolutely mindblowing. His performance so soulful, deep, colourful, emotional, evocative and with certain 80's electro pop vintage feel to it. The track is the perfect track to create that special lovely atmosphere in your DJ set and bring the strangers closer to each other. The remixes included will definitely bring the track on the dancefloor. Powel first remix is a majestic chunky funky old school UK garage house number with nice piano chords, rave organ riffs, garage raw basslines, old school metallic drum programming and a lot of nice rhythm to keep you dancing. Powel's Lower Chords Remix is a deeper moodier haunting version with bubbly basslines, rolling drums, acid jazz infusions and classic deep house references. It's dub mix so if you don't feel the vocal this  version will let you float with the nice melodies! #PureSummer #PureGold Love It[/content]

Music is a pretty c.Rius business. You have to be passionate, talented, determined, and you have to be on top of your game all the time. Luckily, the man we're referring to has got that going for him, and he shows the world through his 'Dance EP'. As the classic sounds of 'Dance' and the down-to-earth vibes of 'That Girl' will have you reeling for more, expect these tunes to play a major part in your party life for time to come.

That Girl is super awesome as well with raw basslines, chunky grooves, cool urban style vocal sample and infectious synthy hooks in the breakdown while the main section is deep playful and packed with enjoyable percussion and Ibiza style organ riffs with that late night naughty touch to it! #PureGold Love It.[/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Disclosure are back with their offering for the summer. Firstly is Feel Like I Do sampling the legend Al Green. The result is a magnificent sugar sweet soulful deep house record perfect for lazy Sunday afternoon and summer barbecue parties. Moog For Love with Eats Everything is another example of their artistry with strong application of samples with tribal techy grooves, deep funky basslines and cool atmosphere that keep it firmly underground so I can see the smile on some anti-mainstream djs who will adore playing it. BOSS is definitely an excellent deep house banger with old school influences and the very creative application of the very addictive distorted vocal sample. Bouncy garage infused basslines, chunky playful grooves and vintage synths. It sounds like that BOSS will be the single that can crossover to the bigger public and get the radio audiences grabbing it easily. #PureGold Love It [/content]

A precociously talented individual, MNEK started making songs when he was just 9-years-old, before signing his first publishing deal five years later. Able to deconstruct and re-build pop, R&B and dance in a way most mere mortals can’t, his songwriting, production and vocal skills have been sought out by everyone from The Saturdays (on two Xenomania-assisted singles) to Rudimental (Spoons/Common Emotion); from Duke Dumont (Need U (100%)) to Little Mix (album highlight, Nothing Feels Like You); from Bondax (All I See) to Kylie Minogue (Feels So Good); from Shadow Child (Climbin’ (Piano Weapon)) to Karen Harding (Say Something) to a certain Madonna. In 2016 Beyoncé also used his services as songwriter as MNEK co-wrote “Hold Up” for her album LEMONADE.

No stranger to chart success, he co-wrote Oliver Heldens’ UK number 1 single Gecko and hit Last All Night (Koala) and crashed into the Top 5 with the deep house majesty of Gorgon City collaboration, Ready For Your Love (which he co-wrote and sang). Not only that but he’s also been working with the crop of UK talent, producing for and co-writing with Clean Bandit, Chris Malinchak, Naughty Boy, Lianne Las Havas and many others.

But his talents don’t just stop at creating musical mastery for other people. Versatile enough to play about with deep house one minute, pure pop the next and R&B bangers as and when he feels like it, MNEK’s also primed to properly take over as a solo artist following recent singles Every Little Word and the elastic, low-slung future R&B of the Radio One play listed follow-up, Wrote A Song About You. With an artistic vision for the album already in place, he’s also ventured out into the live arena, playing a myriad of summer festivals and three sold-out shows in London. MNEK achieved his first Top 40 single with ‘The Rhythm’ which also rose high in the club charts. His EP ‘Small Talk’, featuring all of his singles including ‘The Rhythm’, plus a couple of new tracks, was released in March 2015.

On the 3rd September MNEK announced his brand new single, Never Forget You with Swedish pop star Zara Larsson. The single premiered on the 10th September as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 and to date has been certified Platinum in the UK, x3 Platinum in Sweden, x2 Platinum in Australia and Denmark and Platinum in Norway. It has amassed over 200 million Spotify Streams and 110 Million video views. “Never Forget You” also had a stellar run in the US where it has been certified GOLD, reached the number 1 spot on the Dance Billboard chart for two consecutive weeks and has become a top 10 hit on the national airplay chart. 

On the 13th May 2016 MNEK premiered his latest single “At Night (I Think About You)” on Annie Mac’s radio 1 show which named it her Hottest Record in the World.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Mnek is back with his magnificent electro pop anthem At Night(I Think About You) with electro breaks meets trap beats and warm production that is elevated to the skies thanks to Mnek incredible voice. Now At Night get the remix treatment by Blonde who deliver Club and Vip mixes. Both mixes move on the deep soulful house direction with early 90's references, magical warm strings and great romantic piano melody that works without trying too much. Steve Smart provides two alternative remixes as well. His Finale remix is very melodic with atmospheric intro and new piano melodies with certain nu disco foundation that is playful and danceable with the right pop sensibility. His club mix is deeper with romantic pianos, driving deep minimal basslines, tropical house grooves, xylophone melodies and colourful feel good synths washing out the pain and  bringing pleasure only. It is an irresistible club anthem that particularly ladies will adore. #PureGold Love it  [/content]

A true dance music pioneer, Tom Middleton has built up an impressive back catalogue over the past two decades including collaborations with the likes of Aphex Twin, Josh Wink, Adam Freehand, and notably with Mark Pritchard as Global Communication. That along with his solo prowess and memorable remixes for Kerri Chandler, Orbital, Ennio Morricone, Jon Hopkins and more have marked him out as one of the scene’s most respected artists.

2016 sees the return of Tom Middleton to Anjunadeep with a 4 track re-imagining of his 2015 club hit “HEVA”. The package features reworks from two diverse talents, Vincenzo and Geode, plus additional mixes from Tom himself including a stunning ambient production and 2-Step remix.

Both of Tom’s own EP contributions are trademark examples of his deft skill and ingenuity when reworking his own productions. Two diverse takes on an Anjuna anthem.

Next up, we welcome upcoming UK producer and Middleton’s own tipped talent, Geode, with his garage infused club roller, awash with wavering synths and quirky percussive licks.

Anjunadeep legend Vincenzo returns the favour following Tom’s much-loved 2012 remix of ’Sometimes Saturday', offering up a signature melodic rework, complimenting the spacey atmospherics of the original with a hallmark deep rolling bassline. Debuted by James Grant during his live set at Anjunadeep Miami, Vincenzo's deep house cut has already begun the rounds, a peak summer gem.

Enjoy the original version of Heva

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The beloved Tom Middleton has brought the stunning track HEVA last years and now it's time this exceptional beauty to get some appropriate remix  treatments.  Vincenzo provides an excellent melodic deep balearic  house version with chunky grooves, fantastic drums and percussion, xylophone melodies, cinematic strings, heavenly voices and superb tripping out atmosphere that you feel that carry you away to far away planets and galaxies but you don't say no to it. You rather get immersed even more into the sound. Vincenzo sonic soundscapes are mouthwatering so let this happen to you and don't search for consequences. Geode Remix is definitely a pleasant surprise. Classic speed garage sounds soaked and sprinkled with old school elements and superb melodies and heavenly voices for a truly relaxing and very subliminal sonic experience. The Ambient remix is the perfect after clubbing sounds that you will press play in your car and let the worries disappear into the past as you look for a better future. 2-Step remix is equally Ibiza infused with classic house organ riffs and playful smooth arrangement perfect to start tapping your feet and make your way into the heart of the dancefloor!  Anjunadeep at its very best! #PureGold Love it [/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]iLL BLU enters the Armada Deep building with Ann Saunderson on vocal duties for Win Or Lose. The track is a playful deep UK garage house production with cool chunky basslines, bumping grooves, electronic melodies, classic house sounds and great hypnotic atmosphere. Ann vocals are fitting perfectly the track and she manage to carry away her listener to her own little magic world. The Instrumental mix is minus the vocal and perfect for experimentations with your favourite acapella pieces.  It is jolly good record for the summer. Love it[/content]

These guys made quite the impact with their latest single on Armada Deep and are back for round two. Of course, we're talking about Scott Forshaw and Greg Stainer. Pushing their signature sound to the limit with their hands-on approach, you can expect two of the finest songs to blow your mind: 'Looking For A Way', and 'Switch' vs Lokate.

What do the Queen and Michael Woods have in common? Apart from their shared love of bangin' beats, they would both tell you I'm from London Baby! In this 5'36 piece of dirty-ass filth, Michael delivers an homage to his home town that's set to shake dance floors to their core in the four corners of the globe. Michael Woods - putting the Great'back into 'Great Britain'.







Dimitri Kechagias review: Diffused Music is the celebrated Michael Woods imprint who returns with an exceptional slice of real modern futuristic UK garage house anthem called London Baby. The original mix is a top spot/ mainstage deep house essential anthem with classic UK garage house basslines, dark and twisted melodic themes and very melodic colourful breakdown followed by garage house excellent thumping danceable grooves. If you want a deeper and more melodic excursion Alex Madden goes for the deeper sexy version with cool haunting basslines and excellent melodic synthy hooks. E5QUIRE & Horsemen provide the playful trap version that has the twists and turns to drive the crowd totally and utterly out of their minds. You can stop dancing when this top tune is played. Michael Woods does his own remix with a much more powerful in your face progressive house alternative with great vocal in the centre of it followed by dark and thumping perfect to jump along beats and basslines. The track includes the acapella version perfect for your dj sets. #PureGroove Love IT

Koolwaters Recordings get deep down & dirty as we welcome a fine purveyor of bass driven House music, XYPO to the label! Having already amassed a cult following on his ‘Deep Mix Nation’ YouTube channel it’s clear that Janis Dzenis AKA XYPO is steadily making his way up through the House ranks…

Deeply delicious with a fine groove to boot ‘Chicago Shakedown’ is a late night bass laden cut loaded with attitude and flare. Rolling percussion and old skool tech stabs unite with a mischievous booming bass line to spawn a dance floor destroyer suitable for working the 3am crowd up into a frenzy!

Dimitri Kechagias review: XYPO is on Koolwaters and you can guess easily that we deal here with a winner. If you like your house music old school but most importantly #purehouse you are going to appreciate Chicago Shakedown. With great rhythm that make you wanna stand up, shake and dance a long and groove that is dark and hypnotic along with great male vocal samples turn this record into an explosive journey of night ride in the cold dark roads of London. Superb Chicago and UK garage house influences in one powerful cocktail that will be served cold and refreshing in beach bars and clubs in your favourite holiday destination. What about Crete in Greece? #TrueHouse Love It

Classic, groove driven House music is offered up in abundance as international duo Devarra & Mark Junior come ‘together’ to produce a whopper of a dance floor groove. Hailing from Jakarta, Indonesia & Amsterdam, Netherlands respectively these guys have not let thousands of miles come between good House music!

‘Together’ is funk flavored deep offering fronted by an 80’s style vocal hook fused with a classic House piano lick ably assisted by one hell of a rotund bass line drop! Suitable for the sleazy 3am crowd this one is likely to go off sweaty basement style!



Dimitri Kechagias review: Koolwaters never stops to rock with exciting house productions. The latest release by Devarra & Mark Junior is pure house at its best. Together is back to the early 90's house anthem with uplifting house piano chords and cool diva house vocal samples that the sexy ladies on the dancefloor will appreciate. Dark late night style UK garage house basslines and superb melodramatic strings in the breakdown along with rave style synths will make the difference and will bring a wide smile in your face. When you listen it you just wanna to get transferred to Ibiza instantly without return ticket passing a whole summer dancing and partying like there is no tomorrow! #TrueHouse Love it

“ (…) You get a song that practically shoves you out on the dance floor in one bass-heavy burst of glorious noise, and that's exactly how we're feeling with Gorgon City's "Go All Night" featuring Jennifer Hudson.” – fuse.tv

Gorgon City produced, written and sung by Jennifer Hudson, last but not least of Kiesza - what a dream combination!

This energetic dance track almost did not made it to their album Sirens, which landed at # 4 of the iTunes charts in the UK! Gorgon City tell that the vocals were sent to mastering Jennifer Hudson just one day before delivery. You're lucky! The accompanying video also holds a surprise: The British DJ duo is finally out on their own music video! Gorgon City provide us with the images to Go All Night feel immerse yourself in the exciting club scene of the 90s and wanting to dance the night away to their song!

Like the previous hits reached their fourth single immediately Top10 iTunes charts in the UK.





Dimitri Kechagias review: The amazing Gorgon City are back with their exceptional single Go All Night. Their album Sirens got mixed reactions from the press particularly from those who wanted a much more darker album with less vocals and more underground credibility. Gorgon City produce music for the dancefloor and of course they don't pretend to be out of the mainstream. Their latest track Go All Night is a wonderful celebration of the new British sound that explodes everywhere at the moment. With 90's house influences, UK dark garage touches and feel good positive piano that works perfectly with the soulful singer and diva Jennifer Hudson who simply can wake up so many emotions while she performs with her sweet voice the straight forward lyrics that will talk to any clubber from early 90's till 3000 and beyond. The remix package is the finest that you can ask for. First of all the beloved Berlin based duo Booka Shade deliver one of those epic deep house versions packed with incredible textures, cinematic atmosphere and of course less of the vocal and more of the sexy naughty dirty groove. This is body moving music that will hypnotise your senses and take you for a night trip. Illus & Barrientos remix moves on the classic deep house direction with raw grooves, metallic basslines, rave style samples and warm synths while from the vocals they use just the chorus. Aquillo remix  is an interesting mixture of funk house with electro beats and great atmospherics perfect for the late night sets with overall organic feel. The Warehouse Dub sounds so 90's with just basic 2 basics sound layers, chopped vocal samples, acid house touches and early rave elements mixed with house bouncy grooves and percussive melodies. Drew Hill remix starts with great relaxing intro with heavily echoed vocals and slow lazy Sunday afternoon grooves. The house beats strike quite late but early enough to bring havoc on any house floor. Finally the drum n bass fans are treated first class with Wilkinson  translation that starts with atmospheric sweet intro with the beautiful Jennifer Hudson vocal. The energetic drums and basses are melted into one with fantastic piano chords in the breakdown followed by the spacey liquid like drop that will travel your mind to magic places. #PureGold Love It

Promising UK act DONT LOOK NOW return on our label with their latest collab together with vocalist TOM TYLER, who lends his distinctive and warm voice to the track. An amazing peak house deep house track that invites you to shake your hips and sing along. The ORIGINAL mix offers some crispy chord stabs, a proper UK house beat pattern and the perfectly matching vocals of Tom.

Our inhouse artist CALIPPO delivers an outstanding remix with a punchy organ bass line, pulsing synth stabs and crispy piano licks. He still kept the feeling of the original but drew his mix into an uplifting and modern deep house corner.

Our latest discovery are the newcomer artists FORT ARKANSAS who come up with a smooth and clubby interpretation, their mix is a mixture between deep house and garage.

TWENTY FEET DOWN successfully debuted on our imprint this spring and now continue their journey with a tasty house remix. They took the basic elements of the original and mixed it up with their signature beats and sounds to give it a really fresh sounding taste.





Dimitri Kechagias review: Enormous Tunes is one of the hottest record at the moment with the finest deep house/nu disco/garage releases so far. The label that doesn't compromise and stay always at the forefront of the scene delivers the massive package of Feel Like by  Don't Look Now featuring Tom Tyler. The Original mix is a modern deep house affair with electronic influences with 90's revival influences and some touches of UK garage house as well. Tom Tyler vocal is erotic, emotional and will drive many ladies crazy with his deep sensual voice. Calippo always surprise us and this time the remix moves on the nu disco direction with minimal chunky crunchy grooves, disco infused basslines and cool synthy riffs on top. The vocal is chopped and twisted around while the breakdown is luscious and dreamy to raise those hands in the air. Font Arkansas remix proves that UK garage is still alive and kicking and deliver deep vibes, old school organ riffs, distorted wobbly dark basslines, stretched down vocal parts and great London atmosphere in it. You can expect to dance like a real freak when this will be played by your favorite dj. Last but not least Twenty Feet Down moves on the same deep house playground and comes up with a dynamic remix with super fat basslines, super fat grooves and application of the full vocal only in the emotional breakdown. Four must have versions for deep house lovers. #PureClass #PureGold Love IT
