1 SUNFREAKZ - Ridin' The Wave (Oxyd) The original and the dub versions are all that's required. Kind of 'Needin You' with a soft rock guitar break. Effective enough.
2 ROY AYERS - Tarzan/Funk In The Hole (BBE/Rapster) Platinum Pied Pipers, The Amalgamation Of Soundz, Osunlade, Aloe Blacc, Nicolay and Jeremy Newall. In a word - unbeatable.
3 JAY C - So High (Oxyd) Jason Grimwood gets the Haji & Emanuel treatment while Klonhertz layer on the creosote.
4 MISH MASH - Speechless (Crosstown Rebels) Studio 54 for the 21st century? Maybe we should ask Nicky Siano.
5 DEPECHE MODE - Precious (Mute) Andy Fletcher, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore - you are indeed our masters. Two interpretations from Sasha plus Motor and Michael Mayer reworks.
6 SEX ON MONDAY - Bring Back The Love (Manifesto) A fine way to start the week. Coburn dispense the medication.
7 TOM NOVY - Your Body (Royal Flush/Data) Andy Van's Madison Avenue makes the intention clear. Hitsville UK or bust.
8 DJ TEKIN - Wait Forever (Defected) First sneaked out on the Evissa compilation and now given spanking new mixes from Loveslap's David Harness and an electro edge from Mark Picchiotti.
9 FOREMOST POETS - Besides Myself (Soul Groove) Basement Boys DJ Spen and Neil Conway get this gospel-inspired vocal cut going. As we used to say “G-a-r-a-g-e” - before it became a dirty word.
10 LIQUID PEOPLE PRES CONAN LIQUID - Breathe (1 Trax) Mark Wilkinson on the Kidology front.
11 ONLY FREAK - Can't Get Away (Freerange) Another Mish Mash-styled slab of teknodisco remaking the Carol Williams oldie.
12 MARTIN SOLVEIG - Jealousy (Defected) The feller named Pete Heller. One club and one dub. Is all it takes.
13 TIGA - You Gonna Want Me (PIAS) A vocal from Jake 'Scissor Sisters' Shears and a Jesper Dahlback pit-stop - it's all at www.tiga.ca. We love to move it, move it...
14 ROGER SANCHEZ - Turn On The Music (Stealth) And he's the man who should know.
15 SOUL PURPOSE - Salsa House (Defected) Another shrewd acqusition from the UK dons... whoops, whistles and cheers... plus enough badaboom to shake up any dancefloor.
16 BUSH II BUSH - Piano Track (CR2) George Senior to George Junior. Is anybody in there?
17 MICHAEL GRAY - Borderline (Eye Industries) Fifty percent of Full Intention demonstrates the finer art of drum programming.
18 DIGITALISM - Zdarlight (Steal Vybe Music) Synthelectrictropunkfunk that builds via soaring synths, growling guitars and distorted basslines. Miss at your peril.
19 AC SOUL SYMPHONY - What's Happening (Z) Club, Chorus-apella, Philly World Dub and full acapella - a peak-time performer.
20 DEFINITE GROOVES - DG Trax Part 2 (Definite Grooves) Groovin' by name and by nature on this loopfest.
21 FREEFORM 5 - No More Conversations (Fine) Richard X, Mylo, Soul Mekanik and Alter Ego keep those boundaries flexible.
22 HARD FI - Hard To Beat (Atlantic) Ring the alarm, it's an anthem alert. It's big, it's clever, it's got a proper singer and Axwell on remix duty.
23 JOEY NEGRO - Make A Move On Me (Z) Can't quite consign it to the library shelves yet.
24 DE'LACY - Hideaway (Slip 'n' Slide) Young Punx, Rhythm Code & Chris Lake, Nickelle & Nessim and Pete Gooding are giving this re-release their best shot.
25 KOROVIN FEAT KEITH THOMPSON - I Live For Now (Oven Ready) Short-term but vaguely realistic viewpoint. Now we really are being dragged back to the '80s.
