C.R.S.T. & Chesus team up for a special four track EP on Local Talk, which includes two tracks from each act, all with contrasting, yet wonderful sounds. Been a huge fan of C.R.S.T. for some time now, Chesus has talent in abundance, and Local Talk are completely flawless, so this is a match made in heaven for me. Title track & 'Special' are my faves - sick samples.

Played on radio for the first time last night during Monki's In New DJs We Trust debut on Radio 1, here's the fantastic S-Type rework of Lianne La Havas' "Elusive", which is taken from her debut album Is Your Love Big Enough?. There's only a handful of producers that should be allowed to remix this girl's songs, and it would appear that the Scottish producer is now a part of that elite club.

Forthcoming for 2013 on one of my favourite labels in the world right now; Future Boogie Recordings, 'I Saw Yo Girl' is the latest release from Bristol based House duo Waifs & Strays, who I was also lucky enough to see live on New Year's Day. These two are smashing it right now, hit the jump to see what I mean.

Following on from her debut single 'Blind As I Am' last year, Indiana kicks off the new year with a very unique and haunting cover of Frank Ocean's 'Swim Good'. There have been countless covers of this song over the past year or so, but this is without doubt one of my favourites. Looking forward to more from Indiana in 2013.

Forthcoming on the ever impressive Defected Records, here is the new one from Eats Everything, which is a Re...wix of the Chicken Lips single 'He Not In'. Eats had a monster 2012, and I'll be amazed if the same doesn't happen in 2013.

Scottish producer Hostage hits the ground running in 2013 with this brand new 3-track EP, which is available as a free download through Black Butter Records. Obscure, forward thinking and wobbly - no messing around.

DJ Q offers up the first release from Local Action Records in 2013, with his follow up to the vinyl only 'Brandy & Coke' last year. A true Garage icon with some old skool vibes, accompanied perfectly by the infectious vocals of Louise Williams.
