BEHIND THE SCENE: EGG CLUB

Regrets - Command Strange & Malaky - Horizons
Can we ever expect to hear anything less than excellence from Horizons? The answer, it seems, is no. 'Regrets' is a silky smooth liquid cut, layered with honeyed vocals and a deep, warm bass at its core. Pretty piano notes are placed next to reverberating morsels of shaded sound, whilst the entire track is soaked in an alluring glow. This gorgeous track will melt hearts and minds as well as destroy the dance.

Dark Noises - G-Style Brothers - TBC
Representing the dark underground beats from Germany, the G-Style Brothers are here with an EP full of beats to scare more clubbers onto the dancefloor. Distinct dark melodies, heavy kick fills and detuned synths make this an evil one, but the energy of the beats and percussion keeps you locked like a horror film - you just can't look away. Great release from this rising German act!

Triadzz - Rustie - Numbers
This two-sided surprise single from the Glaswegian mainstay Rustie sounds more and more like he's feeding himself off a mainlined glycerine drip. Both tracks are more confounding than his album work, but just as gloriously pompous.

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.
