Fenech-Soler - The Cult of the Romance (Combo Remix)
Here's a great track from the UK's Fenech-Soler, remixed by Combo. The remix features the soaring vocals on the original track but takes on a nice electro feel. This tune is sure to get stuck in your head and propel you onto the dancefloor. Make sure you watch out for the breakdown 2.5 min in, you may find yourself dancing uncontrolably...don't say I didn't warn you.

Resident Advisor 150 - Booka Shade
Walter and Arno don their DJing caps for the 150th edition of the RA podcast.
You may only be aware of Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier's work as Booka Shade, but their time in the music industry stretches all the way back to the early '90s, when the pair started working together in a band named Planet Claire. The group was largely centered around synth pop, but after releasing two albums (both of which featured some of deep house diva Lisa Shaw's first vocal tracks) they disbanded in 1995. By that time, Merziger and Kammermeier had become increasingly interested in electronic music and began to make club tracks under various different pseudonyms, experimenting with trance, techno and house as they left their synth pop sound behind. After flirtations with both the underground and the mainstream (as Perky Park they even remixed a version of Aqua's "Barbie Girl"), the duo got together with Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung of M.A.N.D.Y. and Thomas Koch (AKA DJ T.) to create their Get Physical label, which has gone on to rack up over 100 releases and become a powerhouse in the German electronic music scene.
Merziger and Kammermeier's production prowess proved to be one of the driving forces behind their initial popularity, with their work for both M.A.N.D.Y. and DJ T. garnering acclaim on top of their own productions as Booka Shade. 2005 was arguably their breakout year, with "Body Language" and "Mandarine Girl" becoming inescapable anthems worldwide and taking their sleek electro-house sound to a much wider audience. Nowadays they're headlining large club gigs and festivals with their energetic audio/visual live show, and while you generally won't find them playing over people's records when you go to see them, they've proved their DJing talents with their eclectic addition to the DJ-Kicks series. Their RA podcast—the 150th in our weekly series—sees them in a relatively more straightforward mood, mixing up minimal, electro, tech and boompty house flavours with a couple of surprises along the way.
