This week on The Club I've got a hefty dose of techno to accompany the usual deep house that I've been sharing with you over the last few months. It seems the more I dig into a genre, the farther away I move from what The Club was originally founded on, which was big room progressive & electro house. Colin & Steph have taken over the task of bringing you more big room but every few weeks I'll come fully prepared with selections from the deeper shades of dance music and hopefully a new mix each time. Today's mix...

Maceo Plex, AKA Maetrik has been quite busy with his individual and collaborative careers. Recently he remixed Butch's "Highbeams" for Hot Creations, released a "lost version" for Azari & III's latest remix album, gave his track “Mind On Fire” out as a free download via Rolling Stone. Regarding his collaborative career, he teamed up last year with Danny Daze to create Jupiter Jazz, which celebrated digitally releasing it’s Booty Jazz EP on Ellum Records this past Monday. If all this wasn’t enough, Maceo...

A pseudo-countdown of top picks and underrated favourites, this year's crate of tracks have never been so contradictory. With dance music shedding its latest claim to fame, the base has gone to the drawing board to define, create, and take the road less traveled by. Things got a little weird,...

![The Club - Week 39 [Part 1]](/thumbs/post/320x152/the-club-v416.jpg)
Welcome back! Firstly I'd like to apologize for my lack of posts the last few months, I've become heavily involved in the Earmilk Events movement (follow us on Facebook), and as such it's left me with far less time to post each week. I'll try to get at least one edition of The Club up each week,...
For the house-heads, Maceo Plex probably doesn't require an introduction. His funky, frantic-but-steamy sound embodies a good dance floor -- perhaps a bit scatterbrained, but filled to the brim with sensual energy. His latest pair of tracks, "Frisky" and "Sex Appeal," might just be the best way to...

The discussion in regards to the judging criteria for this chart was a bigger process than putting together the chart itself. How do you weigh commercial success against production value? We tended to shy away from this year's trends and focus on quality behind the mixing desk. This list isn't to...
Promised myself that I'd shine some spotlight when his next single came around, but who am I to say he needs it. Texas groove slinger Maceo Plex is wanted in bed or alive with his most recent sighting on the Beatport Top 10 for the steamy hit "Can't Leave You". Maceo's selective kidnapping of...
