Pedro Cali – Patiente [Elevation]

  • 02. Patiente (Original mix)
  • 03. 9 Behind Us (The Disclosure Project remix)
  • 04. 9 Behind Us (Original mix)

Ken Ishii feat. 7th Gate – Sunriser remixes [70Drums]

Good stuff – I haven’t been a big fan of Ken Ishii’s recent stuff but the Spirit Catcher mix works really well and is right up my street for club play. FLR mix is a cool mashup, some great effects and may well drop this in a booze-fuelled backroom scenario !

Tracklisting:

  • 01. Spirit Catcher Other View mix
  • 02. FLR’s Vox Rise mix
  • 03. Publicmind remix
