MINISTRY OF SOUND
HOUSEXY AUTUMN 2009

Though the festive season may be drawing to a close, that's no reason to stop being festive. In fact, that's EXACTLY why we need to keep the party vibe alive. So, while the weather might turn from balmy to breezy, Ministry of Sound's imminent release of the 'Housexy Autumn 2009' compilation gives us all the perfect excuse to stay in party mode, encapsulating everything that was intoxicating about those blissful summer eves.

Due for release on 21 February, the latest Housexy installment includes the best and sexiest house tunes mixed over two deliciously dance-worthy discs. Mixed by Mobin Master and Those Usual Suspects, tracks by deadmau5, Prok & Fitch, Roger Sanchez, Kaskade and Those Usual Suspects themselves are all on the roll, with more hot releases and summertime classics to be confirmed closer to release date. What you can be assured of right now is that one disc will be sassy vocal house and one on a more deep and soulful vibe and that the entire package will out-sexy everything that has gone before. There's only days to wait until the comp is in stores, so keep your pants on. Or, more aptly, take them off!
