10. Miguel Migs – ‘Broken Barriers’ (Tribute) – Salted
March unearthed another winner from the Salted Music camp. Miguel Migs’ ‘Broken Barriers’ (Tribute) landed itself on pretty much every summery compilation this year. A poolside essential, this smooth, sun-drenched groover was driven by a slow build of infectious guitar licks and clipped vocals, and was justifiably championed by everyone from Roland Clark and Angelo Ferreri to Kevin Yost. Also included on compilations by taste-making labels such as Future Disco and Toolroom, it drove straight up the charts and into the hearts of the masses.
9. SAMO – ‘Straight On’ (Original Mix) – Cruise Music
SAMO’s ‘Straight On’ was just pure fun in a record, all 6 minutes and 3 seconds of it. A strong Jackin’ backbone fleshed out with funky Disco body, via Cruise Music. Using elements of Gwen McCrae’s classic 1978 cover ‘Let’s Straighten It Out’, SAMO created the perfect club tool for any set, fusing a familiar feel with a fresh new zest.
8. David Penn – ‘Yeah Yeah’ (Original Mix) – Urbana Recordings
Urbana Recordings delivered a winner this year with David Penn’s ‘Yeah Yeah’. A fist-pumping banger that dominated the top spot during the summer months thanks to powerful keys and enticing vocals. Put quite simply, a cut of high-impact 4/4 House mischief.
