At a time when labels are finding it more difficult than ever to sell their guitar bands' "difficult" second albums, it's surprising to see Hut make such a bold move with the choice of the next Placebo single. The sublimely cool Pure Morning (out on August 3) is released 18 months after Nancy Boy shot the multinational trio into the top five of the singles chart and pushed UK sales of their eponymously -titled debut album to more than 150,000. It's a surprise because the single is a more mid -tempo, coolly tempered sound than the kind of punkish drama the band are known for. It also has a newly -added electronic tinge, but the result is equally mesmeric. Moreover, Hut MD Dave Boyd feels confident it will not only firm up their fanbase in the UK and Europe, but provide a springboard to greater, international success. "We could have released Nancy Boy part two but everyone involved wanted to come back with something that throws the gauntlet down rather than play it safe," says Boyd, who admits that the choice of single is intentionally meant to surprise people. "It's a very contemporary track too, which is a nod to the future." Pure Morning actually emerged from a session of B-sides produced by Phil Vinall (Six By Seven, Libido, Black Box Recorder) that Placebo recorded after completing their new album with producer Steve Osbourne (Happy Mondays, U2, Headswim, Embrace). Swedish bassist Stefan Olsdal, who co -writes all the band's material with US lead include: the fast -paced, punky, staple - Brian's vocal delivery," he says. "Combined All is falling into place, but a renewed singer/guitarist Brian Molko, is confident Placebo number Burger Queen; the slower, with Steve Osbourne's experience, it's a assault on America remains the masterplan that Pure Morning is the right choice.

AGNELLI & NELSON 'EL (XTRAVAGANZA) (HOUSE) TUNE OF THE WEEK One of Ireland's best -kept secrets produce what is probably one of the best club tracks of the year. The epic original mix moves from a fierce Euro build to a smashing, crescendoing chord -stabbed break followed by a cracking kick -in. Matt Darey provides the alternative, producing a less Euro-styled version and giving the beat a little more definition, but still riding on the same powerful hooks for a real fist -punching main set tune. CF

THE CARTEL FEAT. CAROL LEEMING 'MESSAGE OF LOVE' (SUBVERSIVE) (GARAGE) Not content with his own prolific output, MJ Cole teams up with producers Swindells and Shanks and vocalist Carol Leeming to co -write this slick garage tune. The Original and Dubaholics mixes allow Leeming's vocals to shine through while the other two mixes (especially the Dubaholics' Ride To It Vocal Dub Mix) see the groovier side of things feature more prominently.

RONALDO'S REVENGE `RONALDO'S REVENGE' (AM:PM) (HOUSE) There are quite a few dance spin-offs going around at the moment basing themselves on the Brazil World Cup Nike ad. 'Ronaldo's Revenge' is a samba - house -style rendition with a solid disco mix by Full Intention as the focal point. The Club Mix has more of a Latin feel to it with its piano and chants, while there's 4 HERO 'STAR CHASERS' (TALKIN' LOUD) (DRUM & BASS) a dub mix and a beatless a capella thrown in too. CF Rumours are already flying that 4 Hero could do a 'Boni Size' (Mercury Prize) with their long-awaited drum & bass album 'Two Pages', which takes JAMIE ANDERSON 'THE RED ROOM' EP (ARTFORM) (TECHNO) the genre to live and way beyond, almost making the term redundant. There The chief techno boy wonder returns with four slices of deep filled tech -funk. The is not enough space to describe the plethora of mixes on this single from lead cut, `Red Room', builds slowly with lush pad sequences and chirpy Masters at Work, their NuYorican Soul alias and DJ Spinna. I can only percussion, while 'Rare Groove' throws on its disco shoes for some Ian Pooley- suggest you obtain a copy and believe the justified hype. CF esque action. Over on the B-side 'Interaction' and 'Earth Summit' hold their space and do wonders for your wiggling. DM

ANOTHER LEVEL 'FREAK ME' (NORTHWESTSIDE) (R&B) The boys' rather suggestive follow-up to `Don't Wanna Be Alone' looks set to be catapulted in exactly the same chartbound direction. The original version sounds a little mushy but has hooky vocal melodies. Blacksmith and rawkus throw down an array of mixes that are by no means watered down. Blacksmith's Skate And mandalay Roll Mix borrows a snippet of Heatwave's classic 'Mindblowing decisions' and reconstructs the track to huge effect. The same production crew takes it a stage further with their Put It There Mix, which, as the name suggests, makes clever usage of Akinyeles' explicit club anthem Tut It In Your Mouth'. This is by far the most potent mix and no doubt will give it the underground foundation it needs Featuring Canny and Michael Brook remixes & two exclusive new tracks. before crossing over to mainstream attention. RH On 2 Enhanced CD's & cassette 13th JULY 1998 WHITEHOUSE 'AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH' (REVERB) (HOUSE) beauti Interactive material includes promo videos, photographs and lyrics. Allister Whitehead's cover of the Ashford & Simpson classic has been buzzing for a week or two now. The lead vocal is performed by Marlene Gordon, the former Eastenders star who also sung on E'voke's 'Runway' in 1995. The Ascending Vocal Mix is the full song version, very accessible without being too commercial, and it's easy to see why radio will pick it up. The Zero G dub is more club -aimed, with the vocal kept minimal and the beats a tad harder, all held together with a super string arrangement. CF

FRED NASTY `SE15'/UNDERGLASS' (BOTCHIT & SCARPER) (ALTERNATIVE) The man responsible for the under -rated 'Boomin' Back Atcha' returns with two nu skool breakbeat anthems which have been caned on the breakbeat circuit for the past two months. SE15' is an electro-drenched piece of plastic with layers of booming bass throbs that have devastating effects on the dancefloor. Check the breakdown - once it kicks in, there's no turning back. On the flip `Under Glass' carries on the heavy bass antics with extreme power. Siie DM

TRUMAN & WOLFF FEAT. STEEL HORSES 'COME AGAIN' (MULTIPLY) (HOUSE) Mike Truman (Hybrid) and Darren Wolff plus South London hip hop outfit Steel Horses present a tuff house concoction of rap, dark basslines and haunting from the album empathy pianos. Lisa Marie Experience's remix has a disco -tinged feel with tight percussion, a prominent bass and cut-up samples. PF Project turn up the pace on a debut album of understated beauty. Big Issue their mix with big beats, scratches and old school breaks, while Hybrid's remix E21 offers an atmospheric breakbeat foundation coated in some lush string soundscapes.

It was the last year the club was open air and it was a Full Moon party.I was one of the first English DJs to play there and I did a three-hour set. The club was packed with superstars - people like Grace Jones, Georgio Armani, Mick Jones - and it started pissing downwith rain, People were dancing in Ibis electrical storm and it was the best lighting I've ever seen! Lucky no-one got hit!" Worst - "It was 1989and I was booked to play at a large rave event. I was very dubious about it and after spending over two hours driving around we found the place had beenbusted by health inspectors who took the sound system." FAVOURITE CLUBS: Gatecrasher, Sheffield; Pacha, Ibiza; Dorian Gray, Frankfurt. NEXT THREE GIGS: Xtravaganza/Club A Vision night. Puha.
