The biggest tunes on the underground this month

A lot of water has travelled under the bridge since Art Department delivered 'Without You' on Crosstown Rebels in 2011. Tech house and deep house are still getting chewed up and spat out, with DJs dropping newly evolved forms of the sound as quickly as it's found its way into the charts and been picked up by stadium-filling titans such as Tiësto.

The biggest tunes on the underground this month

Since winning Best Label at the DJ Mag Best of British Awards in 2011, Defected have continued to go from strength to strength.

This month's underground bombs

An underrated talent on the UK tech house scene, Sam Russo's new one is going to win him plaudits. Stripped back, sinewy but indelibly groovy, 'Sue Press' — with its crisp, off-beat percussion — is a swirling cauldron of heady analogue-driven house. 'Vanishing Test' pushes deeper on the pads, while giving the 909 a workout. On the flip, Jordan Peak and MRSK add to excellent re-rubs, but the real magic lies on the a-side.
