Minimal tech-house without borders. After the Portable Vol. 2 mix last week from Russia, we go directly to the US and the new netlabel mix of Marcus Watkins.
4Tech from Russia is back with part two of his Portable netlabel set. The mix is packed with great deep and progressive tech-house from netlabels around the world and is available as 256 and 128 kbps mp3 download.
John Dalling ends this month with a mix featuring tracks from his own netlabel Toucan Music, including three unreleased songs. Toucan is specialized in electronic music, particularly house, trance, breakbeat, chillout and hardcore.

Jemset ends the winter season with a cocktail full of dark minimal tracks, deep heavy grooves and thick shuffled rhythms. Hibernation time is over.
