The no nonsense Do Not Sleep label is keeping up a high quality and busy release schedule with a new EP from Javi Bora. Hot on the heels of music from the likes of Mar T and Luca Donzelli comes a great new original complete with remixes from Max Chapman and Ronnie Spiteri.

Spaniard Bora is a real Ibiza legend who is resident at Space and Kehakuma, as well as being a regular on labels like Moda Black and OFF Recordings. He embodies and essential tech house sound and has done for years now. This latest offering is another standout cut from the influential artist.

Entitled Buzzing, it is over seven minutes of percolating tech with lovely loopy drums sucking you in as slick metallic hits do a lively dance above. Warm bass envelops you from below, gurgling synth and vocals add colour, the whole thing cannot fail to get floors up on their toes.

ElRow Music artist Max Chapman then remixes the track into something big, heavy and house with meaty drums and rock solid stabs that will make everyone sweat. Last of all, young Southampton rising star Ronnie Spiteri steps up with his own remix that is full fat and full throttle, with skipping garage percussion, firing hits and slamming drums that aim squarely at the floor.
