it'll get you sweating just from the relentless toe tapping alone!

Revered International DJ and "Mr Nice Guy" of the British techno scene, Dave Angel is set to release part three of his "DA" series (Dave Angel obviously!).

Dave Angel has been both a DJ and producer within the industry for longer than most can remember, blending techno and funk to the extreme and setting a definitive style and sound that he can proudly call his own.

He's remixed everybody from Robert Armani to Ian Pooley and beyond, and has a talent that stretches across many genres and beyond! There really is only one Dave Angel!

"DA 03" is set to be one of the ultimate collections of hard, fast tech funk to be released this year, and believe me, it'll get you sweating just from the relentless toe tapping alone!

Absolutely hammering it from the the word go, Ruko's "Wang" dips us into "old skool" screams, hard hitting distorted loops and analogue groove you'll be springing out of your armchair and eventually hard grooving round your sofa to latin style filtered drums, brass hits and wah guitar courtesy of "Hydrogentated Funk" from Jacob London.

The mix throughout is nothing less than energetic, crossing multiple boundaries in techno, Belgium's Marco bailey takes the hard funk right to the edge before handing the techno gauntlet over to The Collective with their awesome already classic "Hard Rain" and from there on, the mix soars upwards and downwards like a Boeing 777 stapled to a rollercoaster!

There really is a international connection within the mix that celebrates the fact that producers worldwide are primarily becoming the future of techno, the reason why techno has always shone with variety and difference.

When Dave Angel compiles a mix, you can guarantee that it's going to be quality, well chosen tracks from start to finish and that the technical ability will do the tracks justice. Keep you eyes and ears peeled for this release, you're going to want "DA 03" in your collection!
