WOW!! Now that was niiiiice! Lush track lads..quality

Deep House

The South London based Church imprint continue their output of quality house and techno music with the next instalment of their white label series from neighbour Laurence Guy. According to his bio, Laurence was “raised by strippers in the dressing room of a Chicago lapdancing club with only a stack of Prince records for company.” While we can’t confirm that, the maker of punchy house music has certainly got our attention. Taken from his upcoming EP of the same name, i-D exclusively share Kojak. The smooth summertime jam eases you in with the gentlest of percussion, synth whirs and chimes, before drums and blissfully distorted bass holds your hand all the way to groove town. Press play.

Premiere: Laurence Guy - Kojak

Ahead of his debut album, Ashworth will release an EP that contains three tracks from the record and 'Cork' is a deep, emotive cut that sets the tone for what's to come.

It's an intelligent and warm track that features soft tones, flowing drops and exquisite melodies, all of which whet the appetite for the upcoming full length.

A leading voice in the world of melodic and organic house, Nora En Pure continues to evolve her sound while staying true to the emotional and textural depth that defines her work. With a catalogue that seamlessly blends instrumental elegance and vocal-led resonance, her latest single, ‘Space’ - out now on Enormous Tunes - lands as a powerful statement that balances beauty and weight, delicacy and drive. 

At the core of ‘Space’ is a sense of duality. Light and dark. Air and earth. The track opens with intricate, arpeggiated synth work - sparkling and fluid - creating a dreamy, celestial mood. Ethereal vocals from MAGNUS float across the top, lending a sense of serenity and openness. But beneath the surface, a resonating, gritty bassline pulses with power, anchored by a mammoth kick that gives the track undeniable club energy. The contrast between the airy top layers and the heavier low end creates a striking tension - one that keeps the listener suspended between intimacy and intensity. 

This is where Nora En Pure excels: crafting immersive soundscapes that offer more than just rhythm - they evoke. ‘Space’ moves with purpose, shifting through moments of quiet euphoria and driving momentum, all while maintaining a polished and cohesive identity. It’s a track that feels equally at home in expansive festival sets and solitary late-night listening. 

Following recent releases like ‘Senses Of Comfort’, ‘Protected’ and ‘Tranquility’, ‘Space’ reinforces Nora En Pure’s unmistakable sonic identity – one built on emotion, atmosphere, and precision. Each new release adds depth to a catalogue that continues to evolve without losing its core – a signature blend that resonates with long-time fans and new listeners alike. 

Nora En Pure rounds out her summer tour with a run of headline shows across Europe, North America and Canada, following standout performances at festivals like Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza. With her Purified events continuing to build a global community around emotive and melodic dance music, ‘Space’ lands as a timely release - capturing the energy, contrast, and depth she brings to every stage.

Secretsundaze 18th transmission comes with love from Bristol based artist and newcomer Shanti Celeste. With just a few releases under her belt on the likes of Julio Bashmore's Broadwalk, her own label BRSTL and Idle Hands (the infamous Bristol shop where she also man's the counter a few days a week) she has been quick to impress. She played secretsundaze earlier in 2015 and will play our birthday party in just a few weeks and is a fine DJ with great selection and skills. She recently played back to back with Julio Bashmore on Boiler Room. Her monthly show on NTS Radio has been building nicely so we thought it only right to invite her to do her first 12' for us. This will also be her first release on a non Bristol based label so a coup for secretsundaze we think.

A.1 'Golden' is a hypnotic, bouncy house groove that doesn't stick the regular 90's house template with some great synth action and manages to be both wistful and and bumpin at the same time. 'Nu4him' is a stunning, moody track with lush chords and Shanti's own vocal refrains. 'Golden dub' breaks it down for a more experimental techno excursion eschewing some of the melodic flourishes of its counterpart with heavy kick, 808's and some detroity vibes. Final cut 'Sun' starts off all ambient and atmospheric later picking up the pace with some more stomping electro influences.

secretsundaze has been on a great run of late with Endian's 'Finish Me' featured on the likes on Joy Orbison and Scuba's Radio 1's Essential mixes and 'SS1' on Nick Hoppner's well received Resident Advisor Podcast. Shanti Celeste one of 2015's breakthrough artists continues in that veign with 'Alma.'

An early welcoming warm-up service to the dancefloor patrons just coming in from the cold outside. Female vocal sample cuts above the bouncy Rhodes melody which is held up by the lower-mid sweeps. And would it be Chaos In The CBD without a bit of trumpet?

16 Bit Lolitas make their return after a break from the EDM scene with a brand new album released on June 22nd through their own Bits & Pieces label. Peter Kriek and Ariaan Olieroock proudly present 'SÜPERMÅRKT'. This 73 minute journey features 11 original tracks and one 16 Bit Lolitas remix of UNKLE's 'Money and Run' (feat. Nick Cave).

Working together since 2004, and known for emotional, patiently crafted tracks such as 'Murder Weapon', 'The Puppet Show', 'Sedna' and 'Nobody Seems To Care', 16 Bit Lolitas now reveal a new work of musical art. And despite their ability to move along with the sound of time, really the best thing about ''SÜPERMÅRKT' is the fact that they always stays true to their roots. 16 BL:"Trying to move with the times is like walking a tight-rope during an earthquake sometimes. In the end, whenever we're in the process of making an album, we always go back to just making some music we like. And this time, unsurprisingly, it is no different. The underground scene has changed a lot, yet some aspects of it will never change. We try to move with the time, but never away from ourselves. So after a long pilgrimage we've arrived at a sound that is new, but still very much 16BL."

With the mission to bring music that stimulates the body, the brain and the soul, ''SÜPERMÅRKT' is deeper and darker than 16 Bit Lolitas' last album, the Warung compilation. 16 BL: "We try to stay connected but also unconnected at the same time. The most important thing in the end is that we follow our hearts musically and create music we feel strongly about. This has always been at the core of 16 Bit Lolitas. Not so much to fit into a style or genre but just to make underground music that moves us. With this album we're moving forward and also backward at the same time." 'SÜPERMÅRKT' contains a bit of everything and hopefully something for everybody. We used both vintage gear and modern soft- and hardware to create this album. Blending different textures creates an organic space that we like to swim around in. It also brings a warmer, more 'earthy' vibe to the music. We also feature Lucy Iris in 3 tracks on the album. She brings haunting yet very seductive vocals to this album. There is a lot of power in these vocals, yet in a very subdued and subtle way, saying more by saying less. Also we will be premiering a remix we did for UNKLE feat. Nick Cave. Something we are very proud of.'

16 Bit Lolitas melt the depths of progressive with the elusive strings of emotional deep-house melodies, rocktronica and styles far beyond. Fusing sounds and making different dance genres meet, it gives a great taste of the 16 Bit Lolitas strategy. Both fit to rock the dance floor, as well as home-listening, 'Supermarkt' adopts to the listeners' state of mind. And that is exactly what 16 Bit Lolitas is all about.
