Here Allister contributes a typically sultry and upfront selection of modern club tracks and lesser known classics that show the width of his deep and soulful house styles. Kicking off with the Murk styled Morel mid of 'Almost Heaven', AW explores the lighter and tougher shades that span house music with subtle piano and saxophone lines that find themselves intertwined with darkly, dubbed out tackle as the mix gets into its groove.

This year's remix of 'Guessing Games' calls to mind Allister’s headlining Cream stints of the mid-nineties as Frank H Carter's twisting, playful and soulful vocal make comparisons to K Klass’s 'Two Can Play That Game' remix. A euphoric Tensnake track precedes another elemental house classic, Dawn Tallman on That’s Hot, showing Allister's preferences for strong stunning vocals.

Tearing off into disco heaven with a Supremes rework, the rarely heard 1989 Dave Morales mix of Shaboom’s 'Totally' gets a much-deserved airing for the most discerning of heads before Ten City’s Byron Stingley’s surreal space disco of Stardance and Martin Brodin’s rework of a Georgio Moroder signature tune 'The Chase 2011' brings the hour long workout to an electronically wrought climax.
