Top 10 House and Tribal Gems - May 2010

Shades of Grey step up this month with 'Concord Jazz', a snappy groove with the most subtle use ever of a C & C Music Factory sample. Art Bleek's newest album has some total gems with 'Man On Wire' taking the cake for a top notch layered dubbiness while Taho proves his talent yet again with a heavenly ambient version of Themis 'Beautiful Child'.

French house doesn't get much better than this. Lighter on the disco loops and filters than most French house of this era this was a bottom-heavy big-room monster.
