Benson ft Thom Crawford - Hollow (Kyle Watson Remix)

2015 saw Stephan Bodzin release his second full length, “Powers of Ten”, as well as a new single on DJ Tennis’ and Tale of Us’ taste making label Life and Death. The album is another magical piece of work that focuses on melody and rhythm, on fat bass and vivid sound design and is a truly captivating journey through the mind, music, body and soul of one of dance music’s truly modern greats. After its release, a great team of modern music makers was enlisted to remix tracks from it: Maceo Plex & Shall Ochin, Fur Coat, Extrawelt, long time musical sparring partner Marc Romboy, Pan-Pot, Max Cooper, Agents of Time, Dominik Eulberg and many more all contributed to what is an essential collection. With a remix of ‘Sleepless’, a Pan-Pot track from their latest album, Stephan Bodzin closed the latest chapter of 2015 in what has been an exhilarating musical journey in his capable and creative hands.

We’re excited! To be fair, we always are when our South African pal https://soundcloud.com/kyle-watson sends us new material. This genius of his craft has been putting smiles on our faces ever since this Pop Up / Camouflage Cat EP hit our inbox.

Pop Up is that fortunate escape from the cold for all fellow Northern Hemisphere dwellers. So let’s 'pop up a little bit', close our eyes, and start to bounce a little to the beauty of this drop.

Camouflage starts of as an epic movie-worthy, almost orchestral scene, before it dives into a deep and dark bubbly dub-scape with all sorts of overlapping and unexpected bits and pieces flying about. It is constantly making you ask for more. Allow it!

Artist: Ezikiel
Title: The Key Of Life EP
Cat.Nr.: HA091

01 The Key Of Life
02 Full House

The next addition to the Hive Audio camp before a busy year comes to an end is Ezikiel Bähler, better known as Ezikiel to all followers of up-and-coming artists within the electronic club music scene. With releases on labels like Celesta Recordings, Cadenza and Tenax Recordings under his belt since 2014 Ezikiel has started out to carve out a niche of his own and continues to do so with his new „The Key Of Life EP“.

The title track „The Key Of Life“ brings forth the long lost magic of sparse, stripped down Minimal House in combination with a highly seductive groove, shaking hi-hats and a hypnotic, beautiful layer of meandering synths alongside a thought out, intricate drum programming which, in it's lose nature, can be best described as a modern take of hypermodern Jazz whilst a distinct, jacking Acid modulation elevates punters minds even further throughout the course of the track.

With „Full House“ Mr. Ezikiel speeds up things tempo wise and presents a rocking, once again highly groove-oriented, take on stripped down House music, employing a discoid bassline, oscillating strings and fascinating, soulful vocal cuts as his weapons of choice to work dancefloors to the max.

Title: Home 
Cat.Nr.: HA092

01. Dario D'Attis & Definition - Home
02. Dario D'Attis & Definition – Home (Animal Trainer Remix)


Mr. Dario D'Attis is a well familiar name to all those having followed Hive Audio over the course of the past years so it's always a pleasure to see one of our favorite Swiss friends coming back with a new one. Once again teaming up with Definition in the studio their new single named „Home “ is gonna make you sweat on the dancefloor and defo will help to burn some sweets away you've possibly indulged in a little too much for reasons at this time of the year.

The original version of „Home“ provides a proper muscular House-flavored stomp for all dancefloors under a groove, weighing in most beautiful strings and a lively, elevating classic synth modulation as a foundation for deep, heartfelt male vocals and a touching atmosphere able to make people fall in love on the dancefloor within seconds.

On remix duties for „Home“ is Animal Trainer who takes on a slightly different angle production wise and transfers the tune into a world of polished chrome, driven by pumping Tech House rhythms and clean, metallic synths as well as futuristic noises, sweeps and atmospheres meandering through the excellent sonic architecture of this rework.

Release info:
"Over the last 10 years, Germany’s D-Nox and Beckers have enjoyed something of a cult existence. Formed from a mutual love of the music, they were individually successful already; their meeting of minds transcending that almost immediately. Meaty and full of soul, their releases soundtrack a million e-moments with regular support from an army of peers in the Prog House world. Polyacid is no exception. Built around a bubbling acid line it twists and weaves its tale to a point where you’re genuinely upset when it finishes. 

  With such big boots to fill, the remixers had to pull out all the stops. First up, Dutch wunderkind and Lost and Found regular, Navar opts for a stripped back approach hanging the main motifs from a calming percussive network of hats, claps and woodblocks. Stereo Underground builds his mix around a repeating synth hook which quickly mesmerises as he defty mutates and twists its sound throughout. Rounding out the pack, Definition marries afro-house percussion with strings and piano to create a wondrous light and dark opus, bubbling with acidic undertones.  "

PREMIERE : SOAME, Anlmor - Honey (Definition Remix) [Hive Audio]
Buy: https://www.beatport.com/release/honey-ep/2514979
Release Date : 2019-03-15

Making a return for his third single release shot on Hive Audio, alongside many remixes and compilation features that is SOAME. For his latest outing, the Honey EP, the prolific Zurich-based producer teams up with Animor on vocal duties, delivering good vibes and proper deep grooves for dancefloors worldwide.

The original version of the title track Honey brings on pure vibes and late night mystique, meandering in between Deep- and TechHouse, providing a untouched naturalistic atmosphere, progressive, spatial bass works and as it tunes' center piece a set of ever floating, ethereal vocals delivered by Animor which makes the tune stand out in every selection, especially due to its tender, caressing and beautifully stretched breakdown sequence.

Definition on remix duties transfers Honey to a playful, caressing early morning level, adding large scale panoramic strings and intricate, interweaving melodic elements perfectly matching Animor's distinct vocals and turning this remix into a tune to play throughout the very minutes before sunrise, sending entire dancefloors to ecstatic heavens filled with nothing but love.

Finally Honey *Dub Version strips the tune of most of its vocals, mainly focusing on SOAME's on point melodic production values for a shimmering variation of the main cut, bringing forth massive, powerful, yet carefully crafted arrangements for overwhelmingly emotional moments on the dancefloor.

Title: My Lead EP
Cat.Nr.: HA097

1. My Lead
2. My Lead (Dario D'Attis Remix)
3. EXO
4. Discovery

Markus Homm joins Hive Audio. Originally hailing from Romania and now based in Germany the new addition to our roster has defo left a mark on the scene over the course of more than a decade with  releases put on the circuit via prolific labels like Highgrade Records, Ostwind, 8bit, Bedrock, Poker Flat Recordings and many more. With his label debut named „My Lead EP“ the ever active producer is presenting a new serving of three fresh tracks accompanied by a remix crafted by Dario D'Attis, all carefully prepared for massive dancefloor impact.

The title track „My Lead“ represents the value of Markus Homm's production skills to the fullest, starting out on a fever'ish late night vibe that's transformed and levelled up to pumping, uplifting territories by distinct hi-hats and a multilayered synth motif slowly injecting more and more joyful dancefloor ecstasy into ever heaving crowds. Excellent stuff on the brink between raw House and TechHouse.

On remix duties for „My Lead“ is our man Dario D'Attis who's adding a well muscular pump and highly seductive groove to the vibe of the original tune whilst scintillating atmospheres, additional percussions and a slightly dubbed out feel steer the track straight to the peak of every high quality House set for a reason.

With „EXO“ we see Markus Homm presenting a perfectly sculpted take on contemporary TechHouse, bringing forth a warm, all embracing low end figure alongside a spatial, and potentially space themed, overall feel as a foundation for cascading pads and shimmering melodies of a beauteous, timeless, yet fully hypnotic and fascinating nature alongside microcut vocal samples.

Finally the concluding cut „Discovery“ brings forth more of Markus Homm's trademark groove works paired with classic soft, slightly dubby and yet well distinguishable stabs sitting atop a thought out percussion arrangement leaving enough room for rising, large scale string waves and intricate melodic powerplay that's about to make every punter smile brightly whenever this tune comes on.

Cat.Nr.: HA099

1. After The Love Is Gone
2. The Rain
3. Ethnic

Welcome to the club, Vanita ! Based in the beautiful city of Zürich / Switzerland the upcoming artist, DJ  and producer has slowly built her reputation with releases on imprints like Draft Label, EIN2 and most prominently Katermukke over the past few years and is now joining the Hive Audio-camp with a brand new three track single that's surely set to make an impact on dancefloors all over the place.

Living up to the implied melancholy in the opening tracks title „After The Love Is Gone“ we see Vanita starting her musical journey on a warm, deep and droning TechHouse tip accompanied by soulful, yet spiralling lyrics later decaying into sweetest glitch effects whilst warm, fluttering pads provide a bit of an ecstatic touch for moving late night crowds.

Following up is „The Rain“ which reveals a more mystical, Trance-oriented vibe within Vanita's work, fusing beautiful melodic progressions, big, muffled basslines and most enchanting female vocals for oldskool following longtime heads and open air festival crowds alike.

The final cut „Ethnic“ brings forth more deep mysticality based on a brooding, fever'ish TechHouse foundation in conjunction with scattered ethnic instrumentation, massive sub waves and shamanic, trance-inducing chants immediately connecting one's innermost self with the souls of our ancient ancestors.

Release Date : 2019-06-21

It's a double jubilee for the Hive Audio camp in 2019 - 10 years in the game and 100 releases strong our label and platform has evolved from a platform for mainly Switzerland-based artists to an international brand and mainstay on the electronic music circuit, a thriving force that is now stronger than ever, an ever growing platform and incubator for new talent as well as highly renowned producers and DJ's. Steadily and continuously carving out a niche of our own, bringing forward and developing a specific Hive Audio sound we're celebrating our entry into the three digit realm with a special EP release – one that brings back „Memories“ and creates new ones at the same time.


With Animal Trainer's take on the subject we're taken into a fever'ish, slightly mysterious yet shimmering TechHouse realm defined by an ever cascading synth spiral, large scale strings and a deep, soulful female vocal approach for well memorable moments on the dancefloor.

Following up is Dario D'Attis whose „Memories“ are based on a raw, pumping, bass-heavy groove and ever growing tension nicely accompanied by catchy, powerful vocals and intricate, playful synth variations making this track suitable for both TechHouse and House audiences alike.

Furthermore our man Definition has got „Memories“, too, and pretty uplifting ones indeed. Opening on a captivating synth tip and switching gears swiftly his cut is a surely muscular, yet melodic one for more progressive late night peaks in your favorite venue around.

Finally Animal Trainer presents the 'Sunset Version' of his „Memories“ as an additional bonus cut, going in strong for a truly dramatic variation that puts both every Balearic tune and every movie theme ever to shame, coming across as the essence of pure, heartfelt emotion translating far beyond any dancefloor.
