Fresh from our pals at Axtone comes ‘Blow Up’ – the monster collaboration from Russia’s Hard Rock Sofa & St Brothers. Collectively these producers have been responsible for releases on the likes of Pink Star, Mutants, Cr2, Sirup, N.E.W.S, Nervous & many more but ‘Blow Up’ is set to be the record that launches them to the next level having been a mainstay in Axwell & the Swedish House Mafia’s record boxes (SD Cards) for the past 12 months.
Leading the way on the package Axwell teams up with Germany’s rising star Thomas Gold, sprinkling their magic dust on their re-vision drawing on the best parts of the Original and adding a new level of intensity that should see support right across the house music spectrum.
On the proverbial ‘flip’ two of our own finest, Hook N Sling & Goodwill come together turning the record inside out, combining a piano laden break with a huge drop for a pure peak time moment.This remix had the message boards & blogs in a flap upon Axwell’s debut airing during his special ‘Axmas’ mix on Pete Tong’s Radio 1 show at the end of last year.

While I Am Sam and Liam Keegan round out this package.

As anyone who’s followed the scene knows, Benny Benassi has already broken more than a few boundaries. He’s consistently rated one of the best DJs in the world and roundly considered as the man that brought electro to the masses with his bone crunchy tune “Satisfaction”.

Having wowed Djs and clubber alike with last years hit “Spaceship”, Benny returns with another slice of dance floor bliss. This time he hooks up with T Pain on vox , as the two turn out driving club cut.
On the mix John Dalhback serves straight up 4 to the floor, Congorock once again impresses with a full sensory assault, Rivaz brings a spacial disco fuelled reshape, while Dirtyphonics provide the wobble and bass with a grinding dub step edit.
