#SLATop5 Simon Lee & Alvin x think IN electronic Top 5 (July 2014)

Every month Simon Lee & Alvin share with think IN electronic their 5 favourite discoveries (in no particular order) and tell us why they love these records!

Above & Beyond Feat Alex Vargas - Sticky Fingers (Pierce Fulton Remix) [ANJUNABEATS]

Simon Lee : First on our list this month is this brilliant official remix of "Sticky Fingers" from Pierce Fulton! I love his take on this, I really can imagine this on a lot of festival sets this summer. Good on Anjunabeats for picking a rising talent for this. Make sure you catch his guestmix on ABGT Radio too.

Alvin : Certainly a different take from the original. Both of which are good in their essence but I’d most likely play the original early in the set. Pierce Fulton remix of this track has definitely converted it into something fun which many can relate too especially during this summer, and Malaysia feels like summer all year long!

David Guetta & Kaz James - Blast Off [JACK BACK]

SL : This one was my pick. I personally think David Guetta has produced records that many will remember years from now.  I like the great guitar riff,  it's a great party track, and a rockin' way to start a peaktime DJ set.

A: Has David Guetta gone ‘80s rock? Definitely heard some familiar Van Halen guitar elements but that’s as far as this track can go. Despite listening to it a couple of times, I can’t find anything to relate to, not even the music video. I’ll have to pass on this.

Tommy Johnson Feat Nanje Nowack - Burn The Sun [ARMIND / ARMADA]

SL : There's still value to a well produced vocal trance record. "Burn The Sun" is a great example and it's been supported by Armin van Buuren, Bobina, Cosmic Gate, Andy Moor and many others. I can definitely hear the emotions on this one and I love the melody and breakdown. Polished to perfection.

A: Trance shall continue to live through the ages and “Burn the Sun” solidifies that statement. Kudos to Tommy Johnson for producing an immaculate trance track and Nanje Nowack for contributing her serene vocals.

Bobby Rock Feat Cimo Fränkenkel - New Life [PROTOCOL]

A: What makes a great progressive house track? “New Life” is the answer! A splendid Bobby Rock production complemented by the brilliant vocals of Cimo Frnkel. It’s a perfect Lego fit. This has gotta be my favorite anthem this year and are both radio and festival worthy! Hit the link, what are you waiting for!

SL : I'm a fan of this label and was very happy to hear this uplifter. The vocals works well in a DJ set and it's quite simply a great progressive house record that's got great potential to go very far.

Cosmo & Skorobogatiy Vs. Eitro - Cross [PYRO]

SL : I remember playing Eitro's "Character" on all our DJ sets last year. Great to see him back on this collab. Some of today's best records are being churned out by lesser known labels that emphasize on quality over marketing hype. "Cross" deserves a lot of exposure - simple but great production with all the right elements at the right time in my opinion. DJs get your copy now!

A: I was introduced to Russion duo Cosmo & Skorobogatiy by their track "Superstar."  This collaboration with Eitro for “Cross” was by far no mistake and in the right direction. Loving the marching drums, the buildup and the drop, oh yeah! Perhaps the forming of a new trio from Russia? Woot!
