Riuozami returns to Napoli, Italy imprint Urban Distortion with two tracks of mind-bending Ambient Techno.

The Geometric Shapes EP, supported by luminaries the likes of Colin Dale features two tracks, ‘Geometric Modernism’ and ‘Shape 1′

‘Geometric Modernism’ floats in a dark disembodied way with clever layers of sound. Slaker’s Vision Mix takes things into dance floor territory adding a 4×4 kick bringing out the deep techno side of the original.

‘Shape 1′ goes for a sinister excursion into electro with menacing 303s circle the beats like sharks in a tank. Dario Caruson adds eerie aesthetics with a chilling almost Horror esque remix.

‘Geometric Shapes’ stands for another sophisticated release on Urban Distortion once again pushing the boundaries of Techno & Electronica with strong artistic values and polished production. You can buy the EP now from all good download stores. Check out Urban Distortion’s Facebook page for more info.

Riuozami – Geometric Shapes EP

Even when the UK weather lets you down, you can always bring some sunshine to your stereo.

This month has been a difficult pick due to all the great edits that have been released. Since we are heading into the depths of summer I thought it only fitting that we go for some great up beat and soulful tracks for the list.

The pick of the bunch for me this time around is the immensely talented Dave Allison’s rework of the Brooklyn Bronx & Queen’s band’s ‘Dreamer’. All hail the man from Montreal. You can also grab this on a free download as he celebrates over 1.5 million plays on Soundcloud.

Even though I have picked one form the bunch as stand out, I really have to say each and every track in the list is brilliant – again, showing the talent that oozes form the edit scene.

1. BB& Q // Dreamer (Dave Allison Edit)

2. Gayle Adams // Love Fever (Drive Club Edit)

3. Infinity // Check Me Out (RaRiTiEs Edit)

4. George Druick // Georgy Porgy (Ramsey Hercules French & Clean Edit)

5. Johnny Guitar Watson // You’ve Got A Hard Head (Ronny Hammond Break A Leg Edit)

6. Michel Berger // Les Princes des Viles (Benoit De BonneFamille Edit)

7. Melba Moore // Standing right Here (Dj “S” Remix)

8. Nightime LTD // Do Me Tonight (Tony’s Edit)

9. Pino D’angio // Ma Quale Idea (Professional Gigolo Edit)

10. Mirage //Summer Groove // (Serge Gamesbourg Edit)

Warren Zevon // Nite Time In The Switching Yard (Flying Mojitos Bros Midnight Train Edit)

Tania Maria // Come With Me (Lego Dub 5 AM Edit)

Tenderness // Got to Keep Trying (DJ Recycle Dub To The Floor Edit)

Hope you enjoy the mix I have pulled together. Track listing is available on Soundcloud page
