Rave Reinvention
Renovated and re-opened in August with London's most advanced soundsystem
Pink Elephant - SymbolOne - Club Mod
Club Mod is the relatively new offshoot from Modular, which is "aimed at the head, hips and heart". Vinko Pelicaric and Eduard Raos link up as SymbolOne, and their sound is a kind of crystallisation of Croatia's very own take on Balearic bliss. Having previously had remixes released on Kitsune, Discotexas and Scion AV, 'Pink Elephant' is the duo's second release of their own material and bodes well for a full-length album.

Shock Treatment - Xtrah - Sgn:Ltd
Another slab of nastiness from the unstoppable Xtrah, 'Shock Treatment' is fiendishly desirable and ready to be caught. The subtly placed chimes which lift the intro and the breakdown are reminiscent of finding a clue in an old-fashioned murder mystery, and the pacing beat creates a feeling of being pursued. A low and angry bassline fills the air with mysteriousness and cloaks the track with a demeanor of bold enigma.

Grinspiller - Rebel Sketchy - Ground Level
Rebel Sketchy has been around a while, and his productions seem to just keep getting better and better. 'Grinspiller' uses pots and pans percussion and filtered strings in the intro to set the mood for a solid disco-funk groover. Electronic bass tinges and some natty hazin' and phasin' augment the dance, setting up anticipation nicely for his debut 'Goodbye Gravity' album later this year. Bromley from Bristol on the remix turn it into more of a future garage vibe, pivoted around a clanging, leaden bassline.

Phenomenal - Fanon Flowers - Sect
Kalamazoo producer Flowers is one of techno's unsung heroes, steadily releasing deep but dancefloor-friendly grooves for the past 15 years. He deploys his usual approach on 'Phenomenal', with a surging bassline and tingling percussion providing the basis for a building chord sequence, a simple-but-hugely effective combination. Sect have rather wisely commissioned Substance for a remix, with the Berliner's version focusing on a massive off-centre bassline and some subtle, dubbed-out effects.
