This week, we have the honour to present you the album by Raw Artistic Soul titled "What About Love". The two EP releases already got the Pick of the Week spot, now the album does the same, and it truly deserves it. Words can't really describe what a treat this is, but simply said with this album you've got a masterpiece in your hand, courtesy of GoGo Music. They also have the "Go!" compilation selected and mixed by Ralf Gum, a retrospective of the labels work.

The second pick is courtesy of Stephanie Mills. Her "Free" gets the remix treatment from Louie Vega who turns out outstanding mixes - an essential tune.

The 1992 classic "Awade" from Instant House is back in 'lost' dub mixes, sounding as fresh as over ten years ago. French maestro Franck Roger has a hot new releaase featuring "Right Make It Right", a soulful garage production coming complete with a remix by Osunalde, and "Olinga", a jazzy latin house instrumental. Speaking about Osunlade, his producction "Just A Breath Away" by Nadirah Shakoor just got released, featuring a remix by Franck Roger. This is a great production with jazz-funk elements, being full of soul.

Mateo & Matos have the "Lost In Thought EP" where they enter new grounds, moving away from their jazzy and disco-ish productions - definitely worth being checked out. Remixer of the moment Quentin Harris does a fantastic job on both "Spiritual Life" by Steal Vybe featuring Rich Medina and "Joy" by Trina Broussard, adding his distinguished sound to both of them.

"Say It Ain't So" by Mikiel is a lovely garage production, coming with dark chords, making this special alongside all the other releases around. In the meantime, the Groove Junkies return in fine form with "Feels Like Home" featuring singer Diane Carter, a production full of soulful elements with a great dub perfect for peaktime play.

If you missed the longplayer "Rosanova" from Hanna Hais the first time round back in late 2004, there is another chance to get it, now being a double-CD including remixes and dubs.

Also this week, You have our WMC 2005 Volume 6 mixshow available, featuring more music from this year’s Winter Music Conference. Watch out for more tunes from the conference coming over the next weeks.
