Hello everybody!
Hope that you’ve all had a great week, and that your summer has been treating you well. Here at Trackitdown we’ve been counting down the days to the August Bank Holiday weekend, staring longingly out of our window at the Stella Artois blimp that’s been circling our office, and generally getting our knickers in a twist about the biggest weekend of clubbing to hit London in quite some time... That’s right, it’s South West Four time again!
Whether you’re going to be getting messy on Clapham Common tomorrow, jetting out to the White Island or maybe just heading out on the town, we’ve compiled a hit-list of titanic proportions to help your long weekend go off with a BANG!
Get your lugger-jugs around these pearlers!

Techno:

We are huge fans of the Boriqua Tribez here at TID Towers and when we hear remixes like this, it reminds exactly why we love them so much! Massive tribal and funky rhythms here, a relentless groove and funky, swung percussion that will have the likes of Karakasis and Carl Falk drooling!

Trance:
Gordon Coutts – Powerful – Vandit Digital
http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/trance/track/603382.html
The ever impressive Vandit camp continues to deliver the goods in the shape of a Gordon Coutts double header on this occasion. Full on uplifting trance with tough percussion, big riff and driving bass line. Take a look at 'Lead Line' for more of the same from this top label, great stuff!

Hardcore:
Various Artists – Universal Records Classics Vol.1 – Can You Feel It
http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/hardcore/track/671775.html
Coming straight outta Essex this label is not to be confused with one of the biggest record companies in the world! Rather it was a happy hardcore label started by the legendary Slipmatt back in 1995. Whether he knew about the big Universal or not doesn't matter as here is a collection of UK hardcore classics to die for Inc Hixxy and co

Breaks:
Freestylers – Push Up Word Up (Stanton Warriors remix) – Data Records
http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/breaks/track/663219.html
It's always a happy day when a new Stanton Warriors cut drops. Bringing their huge studio skills to the table on Data, the Warriors deliver a killer remix of the new Freestylers single. Full vocal anthem vibes with a kinda old skool hip hop feel that's edited to bits to give it that special little something. You know the drill... an anthem!

Drum & Bass:
PA & Mutated Forms – Hitback – Musik Hertz
http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/drum_and_...ack/674184.html
It's been a while since I've come across something so sick, an absolutely storming release from PA & Muted forms on Musik Hertz. Both tracks are firing so check check check!

So there you have it, another week’s worth of bangers to keep you moving and smiling during the last big weekend of the summer! Any more for any more?
If you’re going to either South West Four or Sunday’s Get Loaded In The Park, or planning your own massive night(s) out, have a great time – and remember, if you can’t be good, be safe!
Cheers,
