A good name, Poker Pets, tapping neatly into the recent craze for online gaming. You won't want to listen to this one in front of the computer screen, though - you're much better off getting dolled up and giving it some boogie down the club instead.

Lovin' You, despite its unoriginal title, is a dancefloor moment par excellence. Ignore the radio edit and head straight for the original; a well paced build up ushering in heady backing vocals and Nate James's winning hook. There's no doubt James, currently forging a career as an RnB singer, secures a style well above average for this type of commercial house.

For once the three remixes have their own distinct persona, from the old style riff that dominates Raul Rincon's effort to the excellent, fulsome bassline used by ATFC to beef up his rhythm track. It's a summer anthem in the making, full of Balearic promise.
