We continually strive to enhance user experience and this month is no exception. We have made further recent improvements by adding a Sub Genre filter (including House, Trance, Reggae, etc). This allows labels to more easily categorize their tracks, and for DJs to filter releases to find exactly what they are looking for.
Also, due to popular demand our DJ Top 10 chart input system has been updated. Now you can search releases by Artist, Label and more.
Labels, looks for updates to zipPROMO in the near future!

Larrakin’s Breaking Love is a summer scorcher that is destined to catapult into a massive airwave and dancefloor smash! Already blowing up in Europe this package contains a mix style for every DJ and dancefloor. The Original is a bouncy electronica house anthem fused with catchy and seductive lyrics whilst on the remixes we have reworks by Zoutman who twists the track up to great effect and delivers a late nite session anthem.
Also on the package we have UWE Taubert injecting this into full frontal action. Next up we have the Subgroover also taking down the single on a more electrified late night set anthem. For more euphoric progressive minded we have the Meizo and Lenny Verro mixes and finally Koishii & Hush opting for the more trancier clubbier sound. Produced by Dutch duo Bob Sandee (aka Subgroover) & Brane Kovak (Brane Music) who bought hits by artists such as Central Seven, Crew 7, Topmodelz, and Kim Leoni to name a few.
The track is available to buy here or visit http://www.hibias.com for more information.
