Opening the mix with Alok's stunning "Slow It Down," which is a deep and sultry progressive house that will have listeners grooving on the dancefloor. Plastik Funk and B Jones give their own flavors to it, while new artists to the label make a strong start.

"The 7th edition of our compilation brings together handpicked tracks, which are part of my concert repertoire and also of the 'Controversia Radio Show,' with weekly distribution to radio stations around the world. Anxious to know what you guys think, however, very satisfied with the result." - Alok
