In dance music’s weekly deluge, there are so many great tracks that don’t hit immediately. It sometimes feels impossible to keep up. But great music always surfaces!

That was the case for Guesthouse Music back in 2009 with Gramophonedzie‘s “Why Don’t You”. A few months after its release, the track finally took off, going all the way to #1 on Beatport’s charts. The spotlight now shining, they cleared the underlying sample, and the tune got picked up for world-wide release by Positiva/EMI.

Late in 2010, Guesthouse label head Jason Sutton, aka DJ Mes, nailed another bomb track with “Wanna Do”, a collab with rising Aussie star Sonny Fodera. This is jackin’ house with a disco flair for the masses.

The Exone 06 will jumpstart the new year with the debut of fresh new talent Justin Nabbs. He's one to watch in '11 and delivers two smart dancefloor groovers with a dash of his secret flavour.

Label owners Exercise One got their hands dirty on one of the tracks, rounding up the release with a deep remix to lighten up the midwinter nights!

With Tiny Little Widgets, Martin Eyerer has just finished his second solo album. Two years after the distinctly dance-floor and club-oriented Word of Mouth, he now comes up with a long player which offers more variety between Dj-tools and listening pieces. Martin has deliberately picked artists from different genres and countries with whom to collaborate on the originals as well as for the remix sessions.

Having already brought us 'Your Move' featuring Sian Kosheen, with its bumper remix pack from Thomas Schumacher, Florian Meindl, Namito and Mihalis Safras, Catweasel is the second single from the album was backed by fantasic remixes from Nicole Moudaber and Paso Music boss, Martin Woerner.

Martin returns with the next installment. The Shark with Remixes from 'Brise Records' head Dubnitzky and Sasse vs. Phonogenic.

I loved the cool, groovy deep house and tech output that came from Swedish producer Jeff Bennett’s studios some years back. Seriously big tracks in my record box they were. But it’s been a while since I’ve really heard much from him, for one reason or another. Our paths just haven’t crossed.

So thanks to Nathan Coles’ Wiggle label for bringing us a new EP from the man. Myriadz is typically slinky, led by warm, pretty tech stabs and a groovy b-line sequence, with percussion that’s left simple yet plump, with plenty of room to breathe. Well chosen reverbs give the track its sense of atmosphere.

Stix amps things up somewhat, a simple snappy beat allowing various synths to do their bidding. Spooky hollow ones, rasping leads and weird uber-flanging mischievous ones all take their turns over the murky, prog-tinged bass. Shuffling percussion adds a lift to the latter half of the track, and the overall feel is a Sven Väth-esque sense of elec-tech melodrama.

Coles and David Coker team up pon the remix of Stix, giving a simple but effective jacking groove with pitched-down vocals and energy rolling throughout. Just like Wiggle does best.

Chicago’s Tevo Howard has only been releasing music for a few years, but his embrace of his city’s classic sound, combined with his unusually musical touch, has him making waves in the deep house circuit. He lands his latest release on Ben Watt’s iconic (and eccentric) Buzzin’ Fly Records, working with vintage analogue equipment to give his deep, melodic house a gritty warmth.

“The track was written in honor of Ben Watt and Buzzin’ Fly”, says Howard. “I wanted this piece to be a dance-floor sweep, while expressing concrete theoretical musical phrasing and harmony.” “The Age of Compassion” does just that. The original mix is a beatless swirl of clean-lined arpeggios, offering plenty of possibilities for creative mixing; the “House Mix” reworks the contrapuntal themes over crisp drum machines, leaving plenty of breathing room.

It was Watt who came up with the ingenious selection of remixers. Ireland’s Donnacha Costello, founder of the acclaimed imprint Minimise, shows his techno roots with a taut interpretation with looping keys, dark, melodic bass, and a big kick.

Aera, aka Ralf Schmidt, and one of Beatportal’s Artists to Watch for 2011, brings a deeper, more downbeat vibe perfect for slower house sets, with elegant bells and a cool, loping groove.

A label that never disappoints, Buzzin’ Fly continues to push electronic music forward without losing sight of its roots. “The Age of Compassion” is a musical masterpiece with equal appeal on or off the dancefloor.
