Selected DJ reactions:

Chris Udoh: Gorgeous tracks with a massive club dub been playing this and getting many smiling faces !!
Gareth Richardson (It's the Gear, Australia); Club dub is the shiznitz! This version really works a dancefloor, percussion toward the end is electric!
Stephen Jenkins (Lopsided); This has been the strongest release so far for my sets, the dub is especially rocking and has gone down a storm every time I've played it, which has actually been every set I've had since you sent it!
Paulette; Very nice, very deep, very classy vocal house. One that definitely has a place in my quality music box.
Alex Dean (Freaked/Souldoubt); Some great mixes of what is essentially a slice of well thought out house music. Club Dub is the one for me, love it!
Robin Lee (Faze Action); Very nice package. Deep mixes for the bars & club mix for the larger venues.
Rithma; Quality production as ever, nice job.
Oli Lazarus (Papa); Cool vibe for warm up & deeper party's
John Anderson (Laid); Very good tracks that i can use in the start, warm up or in the peak - its not that often you can play with a track like that! Much respect.
Jon Pierce (Nova, Dublin); Very tasty, very nice, very Naked!
Lars Behrenroth(BOC Productions); Better Days Deep Mix is dreamy and still making people shake their booty. The Club Dub is perfect for afterhour power . Capture also comes across nicely in a deep mix or on a radio show. Dig the deep reggae vibe.
DJ Free (Athens): Nice mixes, I get good feedback from the radio listeners 9/10
KC (Red Fm, Cork); Excellent, really like the production on these tunes & the Capture dub cut is very nice!
Nik Weston; Better Days is a jazzy deep vocal house with nice key chords.
Stuart Pattterson; Nice EP. A for home, B for out.
Murray Richardson; More deep n' delicious grooves from the mighty Mettle Music
Lewis Dene (Update); Nice soul vibe that will appeal to the Buzzin Fly buyer.
Freestyle; Better Days & Capture are awesome tunes that i've been hammering every week.
Iván Martín (Barcelona); Better Days is my favourite song from  the Moodswings album & I think that the new remixes give the song great accessibility to the dancefloor.



Selected reviews

Volume three of this stunning series brings an electro-tinged edge to the sound, using vocals and good arrangements in ÂŒBetter Days (deep mix)¹. The female vocals set the track up wonderfully with a warm, sultry feel, leaving the beats to do the work on your feet. ÂŒCapture Part 2¹ opts for a dubby mood, slowing the tempo to a late night trot. Atmospheric and chilled, it uses the vocals again, this time with plenty of filtering to give that spacious vibe. ÂŒBetter Days (Club Dub)¹¹ on the flip side, lifts the tempo once again, with cracking chord changes and stepping keys. The vocals are used more as a tool in the mechanic of the sound in this mix ÂŒBetter Days (Club Beats)¹ round things off with a good percussive work out. A  side wins it for me, but the b-side with appeal to the harder house heads.

Untitled Music


The third vinyl installment in the series, featuring remixes of selected
tracks from Mettle Music's very fine second album 'Moodswings', finds the Manchester duo in top form. 'Better Days', for me, was one of the standout vocal house cuts on the album and this vinyl release is long overdue. The 'Deep Mix' of 'Better Days' features the trademark Mettle Music polish. Smart & snappy from the get go, this track really stands out because the vocal is of such a high quality and the production is superbly deep and laid back. The 'Club Dub' adds a bit more oomph with some cool live percussion adding a distinctive club flavour while the vocal is chopped and looped to heighten the overall mass appeal. Fans of producers like DJ Buck, Mateo & Matos, Miguel Migs and the like will lap this up. 'Capture Part 2 - Instrumental' rounds off the package nicely with a light reggae influence creeping in under the beats and acoustic guitars. Sadly the vocal doesn't feature here. You'll have to check out the album for that one. All in all a very strong release that will appeal to fans old and new.

If it's quality house music you're after, Mettle Music is the place to go. "Better Days" is superb in its Deep Mix, the warm keys & bubbling bassline combine with the sultry vox, creating a gorgeous slice of real house music in the style of early Naked Music. The Club Dub comes in at a whopping 10 mins, going into real live drum territory towards the end. Finally, the downtempo "Capture Part 2" rounds off this release with some beautiful laid-back summer vibes.
