PREMIERE: Mahony - U Ready? [Take Notes]

The brand new release of Baumhaus is signed by CAAL, a Ibiza-Barcelona based Dj & producer who brings us powerful and trendy stuff. "Step On Me" combines analogic and digital sounds for a serious tech-house track and "Azidhaus" is a hommage to all that 80s and 90s classic acid house tracks in a funny and libertine way.

Astrya” is a journey into the deep cosmos, where a pulsating deep bassline merges with hypnotic dub grooves, ethereal atmosphere, and divine tonal textures. The track unfolds slowly and deliberately, creating a sense of inner tension and spacious calm - dark, luminous, and endlessly expanding.
Cosmic elements blend seamlessly with atmospheric pads, while the techno rhythm keeps the energy alive, wide, and infinite like the universe itself.
“Astrya” isn’t just music - it’s a state of mind, a gateway, a dimension inviting you to dissolve into its depth.

After a busy eighteen months promoting his debut album, Essex-hailer Max Chapman brings us his La Fiesta EP on Hot Creations. The title track features alongside remixes by the versatile Luca Cazal and house veteran Todd Terry.

With Latin vibes from the outset, Max has encompassed the essence of The White Isle. La Fiesta is a  migration of percussion, chanting and melodic vocals and flirtatious basslines. Luca Cazal has turned up the kick and brings an old school vibe with his remix. Todd Terry’s energetic arrangement of snares and bongos compliments the provencal vocal perfectly.

Since his arrival on the scene six years ago, Max Chapman has released on an abundance of labels including VIVa, Toolroom and last years Body Jack on Elrow, that achieved number one status across all genres on Beatport. Established in 2012, his imprint Resonance Records provides a platform for the freshest talent in underground tech-house. Max’s album Catch Me If You Can, released last year, received a notable 9/10 in both Mixmag and DJ Mag.

Luca Cazal has been steadily rising up the ranks since his debut release on Crosstown Rebels in 2013. Constantly refining his production skills, Luca transmits positive emotions with every track he releases. After three decades on the scene, Grammy-nominated Legend Todd Terry has continued to release  superior productions and entertain crowds worldwide.

Josh Butler - Dreamweaver 

Over the past five or six years Josh Butler (@joshbutler), the man from the North of England, has built an enviable career from his polished, slick house sound. Releases on stalwarts like Rejected and Hot Creations along with a residency at Sankeys Ibiza, speak to his quality, and this new release on Poker Flat continues his ascendant trajectory.

'Dreamweaver' is a four track EP stuffed full of powerful tracks destined to light up floors worldwide. The title track is a tough rolling house tune, with crisp, punchy drums and a hypotonic bass pulse. The narcotic vocal snippets place this deep into the late night selections.

'Through You' is also on the tougher side. A jacking beat kicks it off before some jazzy, chicago style stabs set the tone. Snippets of soulful vocals interwoven with a metallic, funky melody, bring the whole track into focus.

'Say Something' also contains a well chosen vocal, coupled with a taut groove that showcases Butler’s ear for space and dynamics. 'Movement' shares a similar aesthetic - Butler finding space amongst the various elements for the groove to work its magic - tech leaning house music for the summer nights.

Seth Troxler’s definitive dance floor label Play It Say It has a real coup for their next single: a collaborative track from trendsetting and globally renowned brothers Nic Fanciulli and Mark Fanciulli, one that is likely to become an anthem for the months ahead.

The high impact ‘Star’ is the sort of big, muscular main room tune that blows crowds away. Built around barreling drums and rubbery bass, the track is brought to life with a classic vocal sample from Rose Royce’s 1978 hit ‘Wishing on a Star’ that truly sets the whole thing on fire. Creeping synth sounds add another edge to things and the results are sure to sweep up even the biggest of dance floors.

The superb dub version has even more focus on the monstrous drums and allows the synths to breath that bit more for extra euphoric effects. This is a brilliant pairing and it's no surprise the prominent brothers come up with some real house heat here.
