Released today as an exclusive on Beatport is the awesome deadmaus remixes of Di Scala & Airey ‘Space and Time’

Deadmau5 adds his inimitable production to the monster funky house original in both vocal and dub mixes. Whilst capturing the esscence of the underground the powerful club destroying power that you are used to from deadmau5 still remains. This slighty edgier and fresher presentation from deadmau5 could be the begining of a new direction and one that we all love and are sure you will too.

We’ve recently blogged about new remixes of King Unique’s classic Sugar High Being Remixed BUT hold the press! us 3 Beatsters are very excited to tell you that King Unique go back in themselves and show everybody how its done with their own amazing new remix.

Its not too melodic in the techie scene right now - so this breathes a massive breath of Summery fresh air, as it turns the classic in to a very current sounding monster that will no doubt be rockin the summer festivals and more!

After a conversation I had with Anton Powers the other week about old tunes, he Has very kindly brought in for me a copy of the summer classic from Armand Van Helden & Roland Clark - Flowerz. And it still sounds great. What ever happend to those summer drentched feel good quality housers ??
