TiTAN "Star-T EP"

Titan is an Italian Producer/Dj who got in touch with me through myspace not long ago and wanted me to check out his work, and i'm glad he did! His sound has a very french feel to it that works very well. He produces using 99% hardware, a mix of new and old equipment like a Roland TR909, Akaii MPC1000, Juno 106 and other vintage bits and bobs.

He currently has a mini EP available on Montana Records Digital entitled "Star-T EP" which includes the track "Star-T" along with a remix by French Producer/Dj, Thony Ritz. check out the remix below then head over to Beatport for the full EP in better quality.

Bryan Cox - Where You At

If you've been a long time reader of the blog then you may remember a remix posted last year from Bryan Cox, well he's back with another release on Crux set for a release late in March. This is a very strong release with the original + 2 remixes from Gaetan and 3 Is A Crowd.

I'm loving all 3 takes on this track and can't decide which is my favourite. Check them all out below and let us know what you all think. Then come March grab yourself a copy from Beatport and all other good digital sites.
