It’s that time of year again when leading house label Azuli Records, casts its predictions over the Miami Winter Music Conference, and pulls out the tunes most likely to see clubs rocking from now until the closing parties in Ibiza. The track list is so up to the minute that some tunes only make it onto the album a matter of days before it’s taken to be mastered! The hot tracks on this album include the Boris D’lugosch remix of The Migrants ‘I Thought That’, Swen Weber’s ‘First Stroke’, and Gus Gus’s ‘Moss’, not to mention productions from Kamisshake, and DJ Disciple, ‘Changes’. Azuli can pride themselves in knowing a thing or two about good music and in its original format this is the longest running Miami series out there. The two disc album is a true clubbers guide that also comes in handy for the CD DJ, available in an unmixed DJ friendly format which gives you 20 of this year’s hottest tracks for £10.99! No psychic powers or crystal balls involved here, just a very fine tuned ear, firmly to the ground, for bleedin’ good house music.
