The final of the three Beatport exclusives is a new track by Sebastian Ingrosso. After great dancefloor tracks like ‘Chaa Chaa‘ (with Laidback Luke), ‘Get Dumb‘ (with Swedish House Maffia), and ‘Everytime We Touch‘ (with David Guetta et al.), he now returns with a single-sided solo track, called ‘Laktos‘ (on his own label Refune Records, Sweden). Still loving his works, this is a great track for download, especially since it has a small progressive edge to it.

It has been quite a while since I heard anything from Sébastien Léger. I really used to love the man, with his massive Essential mix, and other great tracks like ‘Bad Clock‘, ‘Hit Girl‘, ‘Hypnotized‘, ‘Mars‘ (from the ‘Planets‘ Album), and many, many more (the list never stops). And yet, he’s back with a nother monster called ‘Marina/Jungle‘ (Mistakes Music, France). Both tracks are featured on this release, and again, it’s native Séb Léger style. I believe it’s currently a Beatport exclusive, but still worth the download!

Back once again, with something I got off of Shur-I-Kan’s MySpace. This artist goes by the name of Daniel Kyo, and apparently releases very, very deep stuff. Recently he released the ‘I Can EP‘ (Dark Energy Recordings, UK) on Beatport, which really blew me away. Such a smooth deep track. The EP comes with four tracks, ‘I Can‘ (in three versions) and ‘Shake It‘. A really good EP, which currently is only available for download at Beatport (exclusive). Enjoy this killer.

I’ve been in love with Gui Boratto‘s music since the moment I laid my hands on Chromophobia. Very solid album with only real bangers! After that I still followed the man a bit, with great EPs like ‘The Island‘ (with Martin Eyerer) and ‘Anunciación‘. After that, I lost him out of sight. But a few weeks ago on Tiësto‘s Club Life, I heard a new track by him, called ‘No Turning Back‘, which I really, really liked. Apparently, a new album came out recently, called ‘Take My Breath Away‘ (Kompakt, Germany). Right now, I have renewed interest in Gui Boratto, and you have to check out ‘No Turning Back‘, which is featured below, and ‘Atomic Soda‘, which was released as an EP (Kompakt, Germany) beforehand. Beautiful masterpiece!

First heard this song on Shur-I-Kan‘s podcast of March 2009. I’ve fallen in love with its deep house sounds completely, very, very nice sound. It’s due to drop on Simple Records (UK) somewhere this week. From studying music at Oxford University, to starting one of the early live electronic acts (Beat Foundation) in the ’90s with Andy Cato of Groove Armada, to writing a string of underground club hits on his label Playtime, Mike Monday has consistently stood apart from the crowd. ‘Zwivetty‘ is just another masterpiece from his hand.
