iamcoxhead - Don't Stop

After giving away two Bass mixes on my Twitter since the turn of the new year, it's now time to get back into the swing of things with the House mixes. This is basically my favourite releases of 2012 so far, with a wide variety of sounds spreading across Deep House, Tech-House & Techno. Listen/download below and the tracklist is after the jump - stick it on your iPod, it'll be sure to get any party started. Enjoy!

The Big Chill Festival 2012 Cancelled

Managing director of Festival Republic & The Big Chill festival boss Melvin Benn has today announced that the annual event, which takes place in Herefordshire, has been cancelled because of the Olympic Games. Melvin Benn said:

"I looked long and hard late last year at moving the date so it didn't clash with the Olympics but the mix of the festival fans desire to keep the date and an inability to find an alternative date that works I plumped for maintaining the existing weekend."

Chez Damier - Can You Feel It (Steve Bug Remix)

Chez Damier's 'Can You Feel It', one of my favourite House tracks of all-time, gets brought back to life in 2012 by the legendary Steve Bug. Nothing will ever beat the original, or the New York Dub version, but this is a top remix that will no doubt make it into many people's sets over the next few months. BOOM!

Bassnectar - Red Step (Mustard Pimp Remix)

Following the free remix package of 'Divergent Spectrum' that Bassnectar gave away last week, the Mustard Pimp boys have now taken 'Red Step' and turned it into a pulsating dancefloor destroyer. Bass, bass and a little more wonky bass.

Mahalia - Mardy Bum (Arctic Monkeys Cover) x Let The World See The Light

Introduced to most of the world by Ed Sheeran on Twitter last night, here is 13-year old Mahalia's stunning acoustic cover of 'Mardy Bum' by Arctic Monkeys. Considering her tender age, the folk/soul singer has a connection with the music and a vocal tone way beyond her years. Look out for more from this girl in 2012. Update: you can also see Mahalia rehearsing her own track 'Let The World See The Light' after the jump.

To celebrate the release of their forthcoming game 'Syndicate', EA Game have commissioned a number of remixes from some of the world's best Electronic producers. With Skrillex & Digitalism's versions already under their belt, Flux Pavilion is the next person to join in the fun with a bass-heavy re-work of the original. Pre-order your copy HERE - out February 21st.

Eric Turner - Angels & Stars (Feat. Lupe Fiasco & Tinie Tempah)

After bringing you the title track a few weeks ago, here is the lead single from Eric Turner's forthcoming mixtape, Style Changer. The singer/songwriter sticks with Ishi on production duties, but calls on his good friend Tinie Tempah and Chicago-born MC Lupe Fiasco to lend a verse each for this anthemic head-nodder.

Mikill Pane - Kings

Here is my favourite track from Mikill Pane's forthcoming EP, The Morris Dancer, which is set to be released February 13th and is the final release before his debut album 'Blame Miss Barclay' drops later this year. 'Kings' is another piece of glitchy Electro-infused Hip-Hop, which is a sound that Mr. Pane has now perfected and made his own - it's like a cross between Hot Chip and Slick Rick, which can only be a winning formula. Don't forget that the release will be supported with a free launch party at The Book Club, East London on 25th January. Stream the EP in full HERE.
