Burn In Hell - Dr Rude - Dirty Workz Bounce
What do you do to shut up all the haters on your YouTube videos? Clearly the best idea is to re-record quotes from them and put them into your new track! This is an absolutely genius, tongue-in-cheek idea, showing how much of a good sport Dr Rude is, but also has turned out to be a killer jump-style track, with a huge main melody and a seriously heavy, nasty drop.

Lose Control 2.0 - AUDIOFREQ - Dirty Workz
Audiofreq is one of the handful of next generation hardstyle producers to have sailed the seven seas (well, caught two flights), to migrate to the home of the sound in the Netherlands. Recently signed to the hardstyle powerhouse Dirty Workz, his latest EP gives us a little taste of everything - anthemic, ruff and old skool. My pick of the bunch ticks the "ruff" box. 'Lose Control' quite literally explains the arrangement of the track from the perspective of the dancefloor. Devastating stuff!

Overdub - S-File - GND
Yes! 'Overdub' is some proper squelchy action, as a simple filtered bassline bubbles and squeaks over the most concise, but driving beat. A classic slice of modern 303 action that sounds very today, but could just as easily be a long-lost gem. Coupled up with 'Oddjob' as a double A-side release, a quirky housey jump-up that calls to mind Boys Noize at his poppiest, and it's another great package from GND.

Shock Treatment - Xtrah - Sgn:Ltd
Another slab of nastiness from the unstoppable Xtrah, 'Shock Treatment' is fiendishly desirable and ready to be caught. The subtly placed chimes which lift the intro and the breakdown are reminiscent of finding a clue in an old-fashioned murder mystery, and the pacing beat creates a feeling of being pursued. A low and angry bassline fills the air with mysteriousness and cloaks the track with a demeanor of bold enigma.
