Sun dancer  –  Mass Production (The ten piece self-contained outfit kicks you – with this timeless JazzFunk marvel)

Sinfonia della notta  –  Dennis Ferrer (Loosely translated means ‘Symphony of the night’ … the word ‘Genius’ is over used however not in Dennis’s case – just when you think think he has reached the glass ceiling he smashes it to the next higher plateau musically)
