专辑简介

Here at ALiVE HQ weve been sitting on a few gems (some a bit longer than others), so decided that now was the time to share the first batch with you. Some of them are slightly different versions from the original, whether its a dub or re-edit and others are completely re-worked and updated. First up is label head Tom Buddens collaboration with Canadian vocalist/producer Forrest. The original of this one came out towards the end of last year as a follow up to the duos release on Audiojacks Gruuv label. The original version picked up some amazing feedback from Laurent Garnier, Justin Martin, Hot Since 82, Catz N Dogz and Joris Voorn among others and after playing it out quite a bit it was decided I wanted a slightly bigger version would really work. So here it is; toughened it up, stripped back with more emphasis on BASS! Monday Club had their second release with Alive in April this year. Theyve got a real knack of combining catchy, almost poppy vocals and hooks with solid underground vibes which have already won them support from Pete Tong, Shadow Child, MANIK, Joyce Muniz and more. This is a Vocal version of their Basement Dub that came out on the original release. Our 64th release only came out a few weeks ago from Polish duo Viadrina and was backed up by a instrumental remix from a new outfit made up of Dave Psycatron (Cocoon, Hotflush, R&S etc) and Jordan (Made Fresh Daily, Noir). This was their first outing together as Vagrant and they already have a full EP with us penned in for the very near future. Here they make full use of Viadrinas original vocal over heavy ravey beats and bass, swirling melodies and lush pads. The last track is from Space Ibiza resident, Javi Bora and Le Vinyl (Defected, Liebe Detail, Moda Black, Robsoul). At the start of last year they teamed up with Sacha DFlame to produce one of our personal favourite releases. Here they are with a dub version of Thats Just It'. A timeless piece of house music!
