Label: Material
Catalog#: MATERIAL045
Release date: 12-11-2012
Format: MP3
Style: Tech House
Awesome percussion and slammin Ibiza style house fill out the first “best of” remix comp release on Material. Nic Fanciuli is the star of the record, with our favorite cut. A good and solid release

Lelu – Say Moon
Label: 4Room
Catalog#: 4RR030
Release date: 15-11-2012

Awesome tech house to throw in a set. First cut is pretty dope. On the techno side of things but very groovy.
Ramon Tapia – 411
Label: Say What?
Catalog#: SAWH004
Release date: 12-11-2012
Format: MP3
Style: Tech House
Deep and down pitched spoken word vocals so common in tech house today mark Ramon Tapia’s 411. The original mix bests the B-side with a big drop that has a soulful guitar strum while the remix is more percussion based.
Tom Demac - Critical Distance Part 2
Label: Hypercolour
Catalog#: HYPE28
Release date: 12-11-2012
Format: MP3
Style: Tech House, Deep House
London’s golden boy Tom Demac releasing on Produce Shop preferred label Hypercolour means big tings. Both tracks feature a dirty comb filter saw wave bass that nods its head to classic dubstep sounds. Very big record.

Nick Curly – Underground
Label: Defected
Catalog#: DFTD375D
Source: WEB
Release date: 12-11-2012
Style: Deep House
Catchy tune released by Defected. Certified fresh. Dennis Ferrer remix is choice for the club. The original still delivers though, on a deeper and more minimal tone. Check this one.
Perfectly energetic and styled tech house music from Monique Speciale, a label that seems to continually hit the mark with their recent releases. House like this makes one want to move.
Dirty Culture – Hyperion EP
Label: Klopfgeist
Catalog#: KR015
Release date: 14-11-2012
Style: Tech House, Deep House
Although the remix on the record pales in comparison to the original cuts, grab this one. Perfectly sculpted claps and deep kicks. +1
Felix Fossil – Deep Swing EP
Label: Recycle Records
Catalog#: REC106
Release date: 14-11-2012
Style: Deep House
Loungy and garage influenced deep house music. Laid back and groovy.
Classic and old school vibes. Chicago house heads will be proud.

Great house record. Able to compete with the best of them.
Doctor Dru – 2 Know U
Label: Exploited
Catalog#: EXPDIGITAL26
Release date: 19-11-2012
Style: Deep House
Nice synth pop style bass stabs and dreamy electric piano. Add a hilarious producer moniker and I’m interested. Get this one if your down with slower, fatter, deeper house.
Marko Nastic – Circle EP
Label: Memoria
Catalog#: MEM012
Release date: 19-11-2012
Style: Tech House
Awesome synths under very well done percussion, this tech house record fits well into any Friday nightclub adventure.

Label: Suara
Catalog#: SUARA066
Release date: 19-11-2012
Style: Tech House, Deep House
House DJs across the nation and world have been hoping for a release of infectious Coyu edits on huge house tracks. Saura makes the review again by making this happen with their Edits Vol. I release (perhaps insinuating there will be a Vol. 2?) Awesome tracks for DJs on this one.
Gabriel Ananda - Drum Variations
Label: 100% Pure
Catalog#: PURE087
Release date: 19-11-2012
Style: Tech House
An interesting idea for a house record – the genre relies entirely on its drums. This record features 3 cuts dedicated to certain ‘classes’ of percussion. And you know 100% Pure always brings that tuff, so check it out.
Sharam Jey – Feeling High / Crap Rappers
Label: Bunny Tiger
Catalog#: BT008
Release date: 19-11-2012
Style: Deep House, Disco

Label: Katchuli
Catalog#: KATCH016N
Release date: 21-11-2012

Loungy deep house just the way we like it. Decaying female vocal sample and rolling bass make for good house.
Angelo Ferreri – Abib
Label: Jekos
Catalog#: JEKS002
Release date: 22-11-2012
Style: Tech House
Check the Mute Mix and the 2 remixs. All solid house tunes and the sample is undeniably catchy.
George Fitzgerald - Needs You
Label: Hypercolour
Catalog#: HYPC030
Release date: 2012-11-19
Style: Tech House
Hypercolour delivers deep and thorough vibes once again. A hardened producer like George Fitz releasing on the imprint can only mean good things, and the Deetron Remix is pretty creepy in a good way too.
Re.You – Insanity
Label: Souvenir Germany
Catalog#: SOUVENIR 051
Release date: 26 November, 2012
Style: Tech / Deep House
We love our sexy female vocals and 808 bass house here at the Produce Shop. This record is perfect in that regard.

Label: Hypercolour
Catalog#: HYPE29

I know I’m really sucking Hypercolour’s dick this week but everything they release is gold. Fat bass and slower vibes here with vocals. Very deep and fully approved.
