As the highly anticipated release of Russ Chimes’ “Turn Me Out” awaits, another remix to the package has surfaced on his Soundcloud page. Earlier this month we showcased Ejeca’s rendition — which transforms the upbeat nu-disco cut into a deep house gem. This time around, newcomer Annie Starlight offers up a proper remix that centers around an abiding downbeat with almost a calming effect to it. The package, originally set to release on Deconstruction/Columbia Records on April 29th, has been pushed back to May 6th. With a track this good, the wait is well worth it.

Russ Chimes‘ “Turn Me Out” is already one of the most anticipated songs of the year and to follow the release, there will be quite the remix package in tow. The track initially earned Special Delivery status on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show, and last Friday, her DJ cohort Pete Tong debuted the first remix of the bunch. Belfast native Ejeca takes on the soulful nu-disco cut and adds his rolling and deep touch to the already feel-good original. In stripping the track down, Ejeca loops the vocal over a set of organic house undertones, using a driving chord sequence to create an all-around dance floor masterpiece. “Turn Me Out” is set to release April 29th.
Pete Tong is back this week with his weekly Essential Selection, featuring a flurry of new music that spans the dance music spectrum. We are treated to two world premieres this week; one from Ibiza royalty Solomun, and the other from Hot Natured vocalist/producer Ali Love.
Last week’s Essential New Tune, Calrian & Guy Gerber’s remix of “Claire,” was succeeded by Ali Love’s “Emperor,” which will be released on underground label Crosstown on April 1st, complete with remixes from Maceo Plex and Waze & Odyssey. Progressive lovers were treated to Tiesto’s remix of Zedd’s “Clarity,” W&W and Ummet Ozzcan’s “The Code,” and Tim Mason’s “Swoon” among others.
Belfasts’ old school house extraordinaire, Ejeca, stole his 15 minutes of fame, where he discussed dance music influences growing up and how his journey to success began. To top it all off, Bulgaria’s Kink showcased the best in techno in this week’s Goodie Goodies while Pete Tong ended with an Essential Hot Mix not to be missed. Full tracklist after the break.

Ejeca has been all up in the face of an 90s house music resurgence, with tracks like “You” with Bicep and “Night Rays,” and this latest collaboration with Los Angeleno Rhythm Operator is no different. “Raid” is one-part Jock Jams and one part organic warehouse rave. Pete Tong is certainly a fan of Ejeca and the general Waze & Odyssey crew that is racking up bangers left and right on W&O Street Tracks as of late, and it’s pretty clear this sound is going to dominate radio waves and dance floors in 2013.
