Shawnee Taylor feat Sympho Nympho - Colors

Dance diva Shawnee Taylor's latest release produced by Sympho Nympho (aka House veterans Erick Morillo, Jose Nunez, and Harry Romero) is all set to take over the dancefloors of the world with "Colors." In many ways it is the "When Love Takes Over" of this year. It is a dazzling full vocal cut with a lovely production. The main version and its accompanying radio edit are the best versions (and probably the only ones you'll need). This is exquisite.

Ministers De La Funk featuring Duane Harden - I Feel Love

This is not a remake of the Donna Summer classic. This is an uplifting slice of garage/electro/house that may soon become a classic. Featuring the vocals of Duane Harden who is best known for the songs "You Don't Know Me" (with Armand Van Helden), "What You Need" (with Powerhouse), and several others, it's always great to hear something new from him. His vocals are soulful and emotion-filled on "I Feel Love." The main mixes were released a couple of months back. These are much more vocal-oriented. The just-released Michael Gray & Danism and Stephan Luke mixes have just a few vocals. The main versions are really well-done. The Dronez dub is a bit more aggressive and fun. The new remixes would be better had more vocals been used. Overall, this is a great release.
