Get Twisted head honcho's Tough Love, aka Alex & Stef, team up with singer-songwriter Arlissa for some proper bassy House music action, perfect for the summer clubbing scene.

Known for a sound that infuses plenty of House and 90's Garage, it is no wounder that when I hit play, my mind was being thrown back to an era of 187 Lockdown's "Gunman", and Sneaker Pimps "Spin Spin Sugar", which in itself isn't a bad thing. Top marks for that one!

I love the use of the classic House piano sound, which sets the stage nicely for Arlissa's soulful vocals. Lyrically there's a lot more meat on the bones, so to speak, than you're average EDM banger, which is a pleasant change of pace.

The production is solid and tight, with plenty of bassline action to get those subs working. Plus, neither the vocals or music need to fight for attention. Instead they complement each other nicely in the mix.

With support from the likes of BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac and Danny Howard, "Touch" is a big House music gem that you are sure to hear in clubland, and Ibiza this summer.
