18 (N) - "Help me out" - Jaffa - don't know much about this German duo but I discovered "Help me Out" thanks to my muso friend Piotrek (our guest reviewer) from nosnobsallowed.tv and I must say it's a mesmerising piece of pop music

13 (11) - "Within you" - Gus Gus
12 (N) - "Father Father" - Julio Bashmore feat. Javeon McCarthy - this house gem reminds me slightly of the Neue Heimat classic "From: Disco To: Disco" by Whirlpool Productions...
11 (N) - "Just Think About" - Mario Basanov feat. Miss Bee - Lithuanian champion of house and nu-disco vibes strikes again, this one builds up from a simple beat to an ecstatically funky ending, what a treasure of a tune!

01 (N) - "Luvbazaar" - SSION - Cody Critcheloe really is a genius, no other artists manage to mix so many genres to such a superb effect, their new LP "Bent" is a vibrant explosion of disco, punk, pop, electro and funk, one of the albums of the year and this month's number 1 tune in my books
