Dirty Secretz – Everything

Anyone who follows this blog will know that I follow Whartone Records closely. As hard as it is to say, this is probably my favourite Whartone release to date! Fresh from dj/producer ‘Dirty Secretz’ is this whopper of a track!

It’s difficult to know where to start when talking about this track as it seems to have everything (no pun intended!), from old skool piano’s, organ sounds, great vocals and a real sense of summer! I’ve actually left it quite late to talk about this track as it’s already climbing the Beatport charts, and rightly so! Check it out and you’ll understand. Definitely one for a banging dancefloor.

Stanny Abram & Cole Jonson – Masamba Olufunke

Forthcoming on Whartone Records by two big-name producers who are both individually havin it at the moment, ‘Stanny Abram’ & ‘Cole Jonson’. Stanny is signing tracks to all the big labels at the moment including Vamos Music & Family Grooves. And as well as running his own label that you may recognise called ‘Influential House’, Cole Jonson also puts out his own productions on the big labels, such as Housesession & PP Music. With their talents combined they have come up with this absolutely awesome release!

The original of this is already available on the ‘Sound of Whartone Miami 2014’ release that came out a few weeks ago. And now Whartone have releasing it now as a single, complete with a remix from Karlos Cheadle.

The original is techy, bouncy and lively all the way from the sketchy drums to the high trumpet sound. During the breakdown, what sounds like panpipes or a flute filter in playing a really catchy riff, and then this huge summery spanish sounding vocal comes in before a big drum fill and sub-bass drop, I can’t wait to drop this in a club! The Karlos Cheadle remix is a lot more underground, with a big main room stomping kick throughout and the original trumpet sound all cut up, it breaks down with some shuffled hats before the vocal kicks in, then builds right up and bangs into a big subby b-line. Huge release on a huge label!

Sonny Wharton – Dazed & Confused

Another name that’s no stranger to this website is Sonny Wharton, and he’s back after his last smasher on Skint Records called Pandemonium (also featured on phuk!) with this banger called ‘Dazed & Confused’, on his own label ‘Whartone Records’. From the off this is a nice lively tune. I love the looped vocal during the breakdown, eventually it drops into a fantastic punchy bass pattern with some great stabby synths. If you’re after a track which is constantly upbeat and continually building, then this is it! Very well produced. I know Sonny will read this as he too follows some of the reviews from us at PHUK (Source: Twitter), and I take my hat to you on this one. Awesome!

X-Press 2 & Sonny Wharton – Watching Octavia

This is the 100th release on Whartone Records and what a banger it is! The original mix is a really nice bouncy tech track with some dark elements and great shuffle drums, definitely main room material and a must play. The second mix is a remix by Marco Lys, I recently blogged about another one of Marco’s amazing remixes and this one is up to the same high standard, with a big breakdown and a massive drop into an amazing tech stomper. Get this in your bag… NOW!

Dirty Secretz – Ghost In The Maschine

Something fresh out on Whartone Records, huge smash for Dirty Secretz. As made clear in the title, this is a prett eerie tune combining some sidechained synths with some bouncy tech drums and an awesome deep bass pattern. Absolute winner of a tune!
