This week's first update is online now at Primalrecords.com, beginning this week with another 30 titles added to our House, Tech-house, Progressive, Techno, and Breaks catalogs. This week, we're ripe with booty action, clocking in with a powerful triumvirate of illicit titles to lead off this newsletter's shortlist:

UNKNOWN (MISSY ELLIOT) "Bring The Pain" (Chris Lum Rmxs) White Label [House] The guy almost won a Grammy for bootlegging a Jill Scott mix, so you know that Chris Lum knows the art of the illicit mix better than most. Here, he takes on the hesitant house diva herself, Missy Elliot, for a deep party groover that should work in big and small rooms alike. Solid four-to-the-floor action with a breakbeat swing, Lum's mix is a deft interpretation of hip-hop rhythm through the house music aesthetic. There's a vocal and a dub, for added timelessness, but time is of the essence here: These mixes are extremely limited and first-come, first-serve.

UNKNOWN (COLDPLAY) "Clocks" (Tom Middleton's Cosmos Mix) White Label [Progressive, Tech-house] Global Communication mainman Tom Middleton continues to redefine his atmospheric house sound with this lush and downright beautiful remix of Coldplay's "Clocks." True to the original song structure, Middleton capitalizes on the original's emotive content and reinterprets the guitars with a bevy of melodic synth-play and warbled tones that are perhaps more significant than the instruments they replace. Once again proving why Tom Middleton has one of the longest careers in house music, turn the lights up when it's over: This is your end-of-the-night anthem.

UNKNOWN (THE WHITE STRIPES) "Seven Nation Army" (Slide Rmx) White Label [Progressive, Tech-house] When everyone around here heard the new White Stripes single had a solid 4/4 kick behind it, we knew it was only a matter of time before someone would take a stab at the mix. Here, longtime Cass partner Slide tweaks the original into a solid tech-house cut that builds around the original's bass line and then piles on electro-styled keyplay underneath a clutch of modulated frequency jacking, the result of which has been rocking recent dancefloors for Danny Howells and Deep Dish to name only two. Once again, it's first-come, first-serve.

MOODY B "Too Hot" EP Totem Music [House, Tribal, Tech-house] Recent releases for Scotland's Deep Freeze label have thrust Moody B into the international tech-house community, but his relationship with the Leaf Recordings camp is helping to raise his visibility as one of this year's hottest new talents. The Too Hot EP is a good indication why: Merging a funky, organic tribal house sound with a dose of blasted static oscillation, Moody B satisfies the needs of dancefloor rhythm and speaker ear candy alike. Definitely one to watch, with his upcoming Church Street release no less fantastic than this one. Excellent.

Also in this week is new remix and production work from McMillan & Tab, Dylan Rhymes, Gordon Edge, Quivver, Meat Katie & Dark Globe, King Unique, Fred Walter, and much more.

New label output from Afro Deep's Spacecraft imprint, Critical Mass, Junior, Silicon Hustler, Trust The DJ, Automatic, and Bedrock Breaks, among many others, is also in.

And back in for those who missed the first time: Swag's mighty re-edit of the Black Science Orchestra classic "New Jersey Deep." It's breathtaking.

More to come. Watch this space!
