We’ll have eleven great tracks and two of them are my favourites, No.1 is the first all-new Strictly Rhythm production in five years. And fittingly, main man Todd Terry just happens to be the first name producer to ever record with the label back in 1990. Even better, another two Strictly veterans in Kenny Dope and DJ Sneak are also back on the block. Completing the all-star line-up are Terry Hunter, a Chicago producer and DJ of no mean repute, and Tara McDonald, the voice of Armand Van Helden’s ‘My My My’ and Axwell’s ‘Feel The Vibe’. In a time of crunching electronic grooves and ever more bleepy electro, ‘Get Down’ feels like the first sunrays of spring, an old-school vocal with the pedigree of the finest uplifting, uptempo dance music. Pete Tong has already given it two spins on his radio show and others are clambering to get a piece of the action. Todd, Kenny, Sneak, Terry and Tara: we salute you.

The other one is coming from a lose group of producers, remixers, singers, musicians songwriters called ‘Connected’ who communicate, create and produce via the web. With perfect vocals by ‘Max C’, this song moves people, it’s in the melody and the words and the Fonzerelli mix brings that interesting fusion of the electronic backing track crossing with a soulful vocal. “A Feeling” has in fact had many mix treatments through bootlegs and remixes over the past 3 years that has made it an anthem in many different arenas. So now, with the perfect rendition and killer new mixes, the summer of 2008 will be all about “A Feeling”.

Enjoy the show and your weekend!
