United Identities is set to shake the dance music scene this April with the release of Fractal, the electrifying new single from CARISTA and Lucas Tromer (also known as Thrills in +41). A high-energy, twisted techno groover, Fractal is an undeniable club weapon, but its true power is unleashed when blasted through a festival sound system.

Marking an exciting collaboration between two talented artists, 'Fractal' delivers a hypnotic yet driving sound that embodies the dynamic and fresh approach both producers bring to electronic music. The track gives a glimpse into what’s to come from CARISTA and Lucas Tromer on United Identities, setting the stage for a year of boundary-pushing releases.

Alongside the original mix, 'Fractal' will also see the release of the Freak Mix, a more psychedelic interpretation of the track. With swirling synth lines, snappy drums, deeper textures, and an ethereal atmosphere, the Freak Mix presents a different side of Fractal, making it perfect for moments of hypnotic immersion on the dancefloor.

'Fractal' is a reflection of the synergy between these two skilled artists, each bringing their unique energy and style to create a track that’s both hypnotic and explosive. This release reaffirms United Identities’ commitment to delivering forward-thinking club music while supporting fresh talent from the Netherlands and beyond.

'Fractal' drops on 8 April 2025 via United Identities. Stay tuned for more from CARISTA and Lucas Tromer as they're determined to continue to push the boundaries of contemporary electronic music.

SANSOUNI — Wasp [United Identities] 
Release Date: 16th December 2024
Format: Digital only

A fan of @sansouni's music since his track 'On' via the V/A Modern Intimacy Volume 2 in 2022, CARISTA invites the emerging producer, DJ and artist back into the far-reaching world of United Identities. The title track 'Wasp' opens on a warbling bassline, followed by a raw, left-field note of percussion and crispy vocals. It is lead by the khisba drum, known as zanbour ("wasp" in Arabic) which is widely used in traditional Iraqi music. On 'Park', SANSOUNI merges rugged drum'n'bass beats with dreamy pads, culminating in a driving yet emotional trip. The closing track 'Wa Al-Uyoon' is a beautiful blend of soaring, trance-tinted synthlines and urgent drums, punctuated by organic percussive textures and quick-fire vocal cuts. Sparking feelings of hope and joy but shaded with a melancholic hue, the EP showcases SANSOUNI's fluidity in balancing bright textures with misty, cinematic atmospheres.

LAZA returns to United Identities with his debut EP for the label. Therapy EP holds two house groovers that breathe light while moving with purpose. “When My Mind Overflows” and “Try” channel the spirit of Chicago house while weaving in broader electronic influences, unfolding like passages in motion.

Self-reflection, motivation, and discipline are recurring themes in LAZA’s music, brought to the surface through his vocals in both tracks. With Therapy EP, LAZA explores the opposites of finding motivation and facing burnout. "When My Mind Overflows" takes the lead, finding ways to make sense of it all amidst the chaos and transforming that energy into rhythm, with an instrumental version included. Its counterpart "Try" pushes through with an ode to persistence, nodding to Outkast and Big K.R.I.T while offering its own mantra to rise and keep moving.

For LAZA, music is a way to process, to reframe, to convert strain into motion. These tracks sit firmly in the house/electronic space yet open into wider worlds, honoring the journey over the destination.

Dutch-Indonesian artist LE KACANG distills the tension between raw club instinct and tight precision, threading lines from Baltimore and Jersey Club through future beats and European club mutations. With RUTHLESS EP, he delivers his two-track debut for United Identities, holding chopped funk intuitively rendered with drum intensity and heavy bass mutations.

RUTHLESS EP is a no-miss for fans of Black Rave Culture, Juke Bounce Werk, and AceMoMA. Opening with broken roller Wrong Territory, he makes his sample chops talk back to the drums. It’s a highlight in DJ sets on many occasions. With Around in Space, LE KACANG drives the Lyn Collins break through bass kicks, lush key stabs, and vocal chops that bounce in your face. 

Born and bred in Heerlen, a small city in the south of the Netherlands, LE KACANG was shaped by a bass-fuelled underground and graffiti culture. Now in Amsterdam, the Dutch-Indonesian producer connects that foundation with his deep curiosity for club culture and the ever-inspiring sound of the city’s nightlife.

Emerging Scalio brings high-octane energy to the stage with her rich production style and captivating vocals. Her first EP for United Identities, Waitin’ Here, feels like snapshots from the club, showcasing Scalio’s signature sound, playfully shaped into two razor-sharp, seductive cuts driven by bold femininity.

Both tracks on Scalio’s UK-leaning Waitin’ Here EP cut straight through any dark, hazy club space. The EP opens with the title track, a drum & bass-inspired club cut rolling forward while holding that charged pause between trouble and temptation. Bouncy and UK garage-tinted, The Heat lands as the counterpoint, built on surrender rather than anticipation.

Scalio blends storytelling with sound design, bringing her spark into club music with a mix of boldness and sensitivity. Whether in a DJ set or a live performance, she moves with ease, shaping energy that feels both intimate and expansive.

Dutch DJ, music curator and radio host Carista presents Modern Intimacy Volume 1, her first compilation album for United Identities shines a light on rising talents from The Netherlands. Captivating and forward-thinking, the carefully curated selection holds ten electronic-acoustic tracks that are drenched in soul, varying from dreamy songs to intimate treasures for dancefloors.

Modern Intimacy Volume 1 kicks off with two moving soul hymns; Jelee's impressive digital 'Diaspora' and Quanza's acoustic, multi-instrumental 'A Death Supreme'. Sykes brings the broken drums with his infectious builder 'Take'. It is the perfect bridge to the five genre-defying house tracks on the compilation; the lush sounding 'Gloom' by United Identities long-stay Beraber, Laza's groover 'Revelations', Najel Monteiro's hazy 'Limbo' and Panda Lassow's chuggy 'Stability'. The label's versatile, yet harmonious musical approach becomes even broader with Mary Lake's intimate, jacking hitter 'Dribble', Alberta Balsam's futuristic 'Dig301', closing with Black Cadmium's pounding breaks in 'Break Up’.

On her mission to connect like minded lovers of contemporary music, Carista started her United Identities label as well as her inclusive club nights a few years ago. Through her platform, she fell into many unfamiliar, surprising local artists. Today, she is beyond proud to offer a selection of the music that has crossed her path, and a taste of what's to come on the label.
