El Tato Funky, lots of different styles in here. A mammoth album too, plenty for your money.

Very easy to listen to, and before you know it, you've listened to 15 tracks and can't remember which was your favourite. Favorite track: Pregroove.

CONNΓ–R One of my favorites this year! I have the feeling this album is criminally overlooked! Favorite track: Ghostly Whispers (feat. C Z A R I N A).

mobtek Mike just gave us a whole album of bangers! <3 Favorite track: Turn Off The Screen (feat. Strike Eagle).
Johnny Voltaire

Johnny Voltaire Mike's newest release injects a lot of soul into the machine. Never one to forget that yes, machines are ever-present, but it doesn't mean a thing without that human touch. Plenty of grooves and synth leads stand apart from the multitude of contemporaries who follow their formula. This is old school synth in attitude, funky in its feel, and topped with a punk flair. There is a layer of roughness under these dance tracks. Listen to the music, absorb the message. Because the future is now. Favorite track: Ghostly Whispers (feat. C Z A R I N A).
Graham Waller

Graham Waller What a record! Awesome concept, beautifully executed with banger after banger. Go get this in your ears! Favorite track: Ghostly Whispers (feat. C Z A R I N A).

The cold blank stare You fade away Into your online life Distant now Are you there? As you stare at your black mirror 
 Preoccupied Wasting life Not willing to go outside There's more to this If you flip the script Don't bathe in that blue light
 Turn off the screen That cold reality Forcing you to live a dream You're powerful Loved and so much more What are you waiting for?
 Lets go outside There's so much more to life The future's analogue you'll see Let's hit the streets Nature our dopamine Don't be a slave to your machine You're searching for Your reward With comments, shares and likes Break these chains They won't contain The spark of your own life Turn off the screen That cold reality Forcing you to live a dream You're powerful Loved and so much more What are you waiting for? Lets go outside There's so much more to life The future's analogue you'll see Let's hit the streets Nature our dopamine Don't be a slave to your machine Ya gonna dance into the night Ya gonna shake your funky stuff tonight Ya gonna dance into the night Ya gonna shake your funky stuff tonight Ya gonna dance into the night Ya gonna shake your funky stuff tonight (Don't be a slave to your machine) Ya gonna dance into the night Ya gonna shake your funky stuff tonight (Don't be a slave to your machine) Ya gonna dance (Don't be a slave to your machine) Ya gonna dance Ya gonna dance (Don't be a slave to your machine) Turn off the screen That cold reality Forcing you to live a dream You're powerful Loved and so much more What are you waiting for?
 Lets go outside There's so much more to life The future's analogue you'll see Let's hit the streets Nature our dopamine Don't be a slave to your machine Don't be a slave to your machine

What can I say To show I sympathize With the sadness I see in your eyes What they all seem to symbolize I know too well As I’m shaken inside Like thunder in the night Thunder in the night What can I say To empathize Ghostly whispers Trailing behind Those sad eyes Those sad eyes Like thunder in the night Hold me closer to you Sharing in this deafening silence Holding the space Between me and you This deafening silence This deafening silence Thunder in the night What can I say To empathize Ghostly whispers Trailing behind Those sad eyes Those sad eyes Like thunder in the night Like deafening silence Like deafening silence Like deafening silence Like deafening silence Like deafening silence How to empathize Like thunder in the night

True Value 03:18
Simulacra, Simulation is what people run for Helpless, to perceive and hold what is the most sacred thing Step up, stand above all lies, elevate yourself to it Buckle up, decide on what side you want to stand with your heart Keep your spirits, keep your power Tear down the grid See the programmed values, put them down Raise your heart high Stand above all lies, elevate yourself to it Decide on what side you want to stand with your heart Decide on what side you want to stand with your heart Want to stand with your heart

You see, a shark is an apex predator, a coldly calculated organism whose ability to not only survive but thrive rest upon its instincts. Yet, when taken captive and held in an aquarium, most of the time they cannot survive. Man is no different. We spent years thriving in this world on our instinctual abilities to hunt, adapt and overcome every terrain and situation we find ourselves in. However, what happens when the terrain has become so manipulated by ourselves that we become our greatest threat, much like the shark cast off into a tank we have cast ourselves into a prison of our own doing. Rather than see the walls and thrash violently we choose to ignore them. For not only have we forgone the waters we are accustomed to, we have changed our sustenance, and our reason for being...!
