Kim English - My Destiny

Although this one first garnered some attention and buzz last year through Exacta and Junior's own mixes, this one has been made over for premium peak-hour consumption with the help of Kobbe & Austin Leeds and Ron Carroll.

Kobbe & Austin Leeds may seem like an unusual fit for a vocal track like this, however, it workes really well. This one has a nice synthy bassline that sounds best when turned up loud. The twisted background sounds and those gothic bells really give this mix some personality. All of the vocals are not used in the main mix. The dub has even less, but it's very suitable. The dark, twisted production shines here. The Radio Edit has full vocals though.

Ron Carroll goes for a mildly subdued house production. However, the beats and bass pattern resemble the sound Offer Nissim has become famous for. This is a premium mix for circuit. However, there's very few vocals in the mix. It is almost like a dub. The Dub has no vocals at all, however, it is totally different from the main version. The Radio Edit, surprisingly, has full vocals though. This one could be saved through a new mix that stitches beginning and ending of the vocal mix with the edit in the middle.

Overall, both sets of mixes could be floorfillers. Get all of them.

Ralph Falcon - I Need Someone

This vocal track has been around for several months now and has quickly become a favorite of many DJs.

A handful of mixes by Kobbe & Austin Leeds, Cajjmere Wray, Armand Pena and Erich Ensastigue had already been released on Nervous. There's some new mixes by The Cube Guys and Charlie Soluna which take this one up a notch.

The Cube Guys mix is very housey and would lend itself well to both house and circuit sets. The Charlie Soluna mix is a bit darker and more tribal. This one is better for afterhours. The warped "pots and pans" type of synths are really cool.

These new mixes are really awesome. Check them out.
