Despite having an undying fetish for glitchy sounds, I still have a love for anything electronic in general, and things like progressive house and tech-house are no exception (though I do tend to be a bit pickier in those departments). Having been into prog station Proton Radio for quite a while, two of these acts I've followed off and on for some time are Derek Howell (Houston talent represent!) and Royal Sapien (who runs Olaris Records).

Anyways, when I received wind from his Sapien highness via twitter about this new release from Derek called "Cheer Up," I had to take a gander and was excessively pleased and surprised to see a TWISTED worrbly housey remix from San Francisco trio Pance Party. I will admit that it's definitely electro-housey and quite reminiscent of acts like Twocker, but if it's got chopped up synth worbles and bit-depth crushing with a dash of broken beats, I'm sold. Peep the breakdown at 2:12... positively scrumptious:
