Voted for 'Guardian Angel' which says 'whatever festival progressive house and vocal trance can do with a big build up, drum and bass can do it too'.

'Entwined' is also very good.

Giuardian Angel is one of the most awful thing I have heard for a while. No vote from me this week as I don't like any of the songs.

Same with me.

CamelPhat & Josh Gigante - The One

Slim pickings from the actual options though - I went for Guardian Angel, but tbh even that is just generic and by numbers

Would've gone for any Phuture Noize's album track

No LSR/CITY either, so let's pick Guardian Angel x

Two of these I liked - Cobrah and Indira Paganotto, the former got my vote.

My personal rankings for Week 44;

1. Dimension x Karen Harding – Guardian Angel

2. Cobrah – Torn

3. Sub Focus x Grimes – Entwined

4. Indira Paganotto – Crush

5. Boris Brejcha x Poppy Baskcomb – Red In The Desert

6. Nathan Dawe x Abi Flynn – Hold On

7. Lane 8 x Jyll – Stay Still, A Little While

8. Fred again.. x Kettama x Shady Nasty – Hardstyle 2
