CDs YOU SHOULD BE ADDING TO YOUR COLLECTION THIS MONTH.

Renaissance The Masters Series - Dave Seaman Masters veteran Dave Seaman returns to Renaissance in a rich vein of form. CD1 is an eclectic assortment of tracks from well known names like UNKLE, Moby, Four Tet and Ben Watt. CD2 steps it up a level with big records from Nic Fanciulli, Delphic and Adam Freeland. It sounds like one brilliant long track you'll want to listen to again and again. Out end of the month on Renaissance.

Defected In The House - Amsterdam THE mighty Defected Records continue their destination series with a trip to one of the clubbing capitals of Europe.

Reflecting Amsterdam's underground house scene, two of the city's most respected artists Hardsoul and Chocolate Puma have taken a CD each and crammed it full of peak time dancefloor smashes. Big summer favourites are lined up alongside some special re-edits and exclusive remixes. There's even a special Amsterdam guide booklet thrown in too. Out next week on Defected.

Fabric 48 - Radio Slave FABRIC always delivers mixes of high quality but this month they've got an absolute cracker.

Unlike many a mix compilation that tries to cram in as many tunes as they can onto a disc, here Radio Slave strips back, grooves and allows the music to breath with only 13 productions. It's an elegant journey through hypnotic deep tones, percussive builds, different tempos and melodies that's a throw back to classic DJ experimentation of old but with a fresh modern sound.

Superb. Out later this month on Fabric Records.
