It’s time to bring out the best, you know that Top Shelf stuff, the stuff you save for special occasions. DANKS pours us another mix of some of the better releases from the start of 2017 with Volume 4 of his Top Shelf Breaks series.

Here we have a very recent bootleg recording of 808 bass master DJ Icey. I’m quite sure this recording is not of his whole set as it’s only 13 minutes long but a good mix none the less. The Ultra Music Festival was founded back in 1999 at it’s headquarters in Miami Florida gaining a high patronage over the continuing years and extending itself to 7 LIVE stages over a 3 day period.

A big slice of classic bumpy house from BrianBerg & Sam Simmon on Chuggy Traxx. “You Played Me” cooks all the right ingredients for a sumptuous recipe of hazy pianos, soulful vocals and chunky kicks. Remixes come in appetising shapes and sizes from Dennis Quin, Beatchuggers, Wolf Krew & BrianBerg. You’re certainly not being ‘played’ here but you definitely should play this EP!!!

For this blogger, Maxim – Where Do We Go? Ft. Kestra is Maxim’s best work yet. The uplifting pianos recall the best of the 90’s Rave & House era and distill that energy and emotion into a bassy rumbler of a DnB tune with great vocals. Where Do We Go? Straight to the buy link to snap up a copy of this HUGE TUNE!!!
