This great track from the excellent Way Out West has been out for a while now and it’s the first single on the We Love Machine Album to get a release.  The Album came out on the 5th of October and it’s yet to make the album chart though I hope it will.

I was lucky enough to see Nick Warren play this tune at The Gallery MOS, and there’s a cool video of the event too courtesy of Internet DJ.

The tune has a really great warm housey feel to it. Lovely cowbell type sounds, great string snaps and a cute vocal. I’d heard the tune several times before it really grew on me. As you’d expect from Way Out West the production’s as tight as can be and there are no un-necessary elements, everything in there adds to the track.

I think Only Love is a great mid set house or progressive candidate and it sure rocked the MOS when I heard it played there.

Although the original is excellent I have to confess I’m more of a fan of the John Tejada vocal mix.  It has more of a tech house feel to it, does some very cool filtering in of the mid range which is very reminiscent of an old school mid 90′s tweaky 303 techno tune which clearly appeals to me.  I think the Tejada mix has a lot more going on despite it’s stripped down construction, and I can see it working really well on a slightly harder dancefloor.

Armada music do weird things to stop people sharing their music so here’s a link if the video link goes down

I’m also rather liking the Hooligan remix of this track too.  There’s one bit which sounds a bit out of phrase to me, but other than that, ace.
