Positiva Records are churning them out this year, and are set to enter the summer season with one of 2003's most uplifting anthems. Only the biggest club records bear the famous Positiva stamp and with massive hits already this year from Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham and Bhangra Knights Vs Husan, it's been one of their best so far. The label is now looking at a summer of further success with Double Dee's Shining - out on 21 July 2003 - a prime example of a real crossover dance record that's ready to set light to the Top 40.

Double Dee are one of Italy's most celebrated dance acts. Spearheaded by singer Danny Losito, the band have enjoyed worldwide hits since the early 1990s. Their most famous hit was the seminal Found Love - an archetypal Italian-house classic that remains as one of the finest examples of the genre. Recent years have seen Double Dee touring Europe and enjoying a number of hits on the mainland. Shining should more than guarantee a repeat performance in the UK.

The Original mix is a veritable summer anthem in the making. Vocal house has made a consistent comeback this year and Shining - with its sun-drenched, uplifting vocals and throbbing synths - is the pick of the crop. The buzz around this record has been huge, with many A-list club and radio DJ's clamouring for a copy over the past few months. Already a Cool Cuts and Buzz Chart No. 1, this uplifting slice of funky, epic house is now set for major chart success.

Cicada have quickly made themselves 'ones to watch' with their inimitable production style of layering original tracks with a warm melodic feel that's all their own. The results are some of the most beautiful remixes of recent times - and this is no exception. The driving bass and gorgeous synth-lines combine with an awe-inspiring guitar hook in an uplifting epic that sounds like The Cure meets U2. It's no wonder Pete Tong has been playing this as his secret weapon on Radio 1 for months since Miami.

The Scumfrog - recently hailed as the "remix king" - demonstrates why he's currently the finest remixer in the world. He turns in a grinding, floor-shaking rerub that takes the original onto darker dancefloors and injects it with sleazy New York funk for maximum peaktime appeal. If you've heard this mix dropped in a live set you'll have seen the ensuing mayhem it can cause - you have been warned!
