After the success of the first edition in 2016, we decided to make Unfold and ongoing Various Artists compilation series. The second volume is another carefully curated mix of new label signings and more established names. The nine stylish tracks cover lush deepness, silky synths and hooky melodies that provide a real listening experience, no matter the context.

The first volume of Unfold featured the likes of Applescal's 'Harmony Two,' which became a big hit with DJs and has since influenced the more club-focused sound of the label. As such, the music on this collection has one foot on the dance floor, but comes with richly layered arrangements and proper songwriting that works just as well at home, in headphones, or anywhere else. Whether driving and late-night or more sun-kissed and airy, the sounds of Unfold are all indicative of the wider output on Atomnation. It is a label that deals in music for dancing, but also thinking and feeling.

The new artists here include NOCUI with his lush piano house, Awe Kid's gurgling grooves and heavenly melodies and Argia's clean, trance-inducing sounds. Label boss Applescal's 'Annie' is an uplifting synth jam with his partner, while Sky Civilian's 'Calle Electra' is a catchy piece of clean avant-pop. Both Milio and boys be kko bring star-gazing gems taken from their upcoming albums on this label. The rolling depths of new artists Lex Ludlow and Blomfelt & Narby bring this collection of sounds way beyond the dance floor - Unfold is packed with fresh new music and grooves laden with spine-tingling emotion.

NOCUI - Never Before

Satya continues its release schedule this November with the Atman EP, a maiden collaboration between label founder YokoO and US talent Atish. The four-tracker continues a standout 2021 for the imprint, which saw its first release land in April of this year.

“Despite having followed seemingly different musical paths over the last couple of years, our passion for ‘moving’ heartfelt music stands at the core and remains aligned. Atish’s initial musical ideas, no matter how much they were transformed, sit at the heart of the EP. They initiated the creative process.” - YokoO.

Proceedings begin with Inner Labyrinth, a gently-building dance cut packed full of ethereal synths and dream-like pads. The title track comes next, manifesting as a similarly celestial number that’s ripe for the early hours, before Words To Say ups the tempo with driving kick-hat combos. Sunrise maestro Sepp rounds off the EP, serving up a stunning remix of the final track that marks itself as a masterclass in stripped-back, minimal house.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.

A musical globetrotter, Simon Schmidt, also known as Blindsmyth really broke onto the scene back in 2018 with his debut album, ‘Blind’, on his Berlin based home label Cosmic Society. The album was designed to tell a story, like a collage of emotional and musical moments in his life. It was followed by a signing to Diynamic in 2019 with ‘Frozen’ which dabbled in organic beats and hypnotizing vocals, in true Blindsmyth style. His sound has been said to resonate with DJ Koze, Moderat, Bonobo, Burial and Four Tet, however, always remains to be niche.
He first appeared on Connaisseur Recordings in 2020, with his single “Gryllidae’, a quintessential summer track. He followed this with his noteworthy remix for Kollektiv Turmstrasse’s 10th Anniversary release ‘Rebellion der Tr umer’ for their track ‘Was Bleibt’ showcasing his capabilities in the studio. This remix was no doubt a taste for what was to come with his 2nd album ‘All That Fiberglass’ in February 2022.
With a strong sway toward live organic sounds, ‘All That Fiberglass’ has a warm analogue feel. A lot of the album was created with field recordings, his self-built instruments and hardware along with the manipulation of his own voice. Its concept? Social criticism on the challenges an artist has nowadays with the digital world. The duties, but also the distractions.
Blindsmyth has managed to create a visceral feeling which is ingrained into every track: a figurative living, breathing audio organism that goes beyond the studio, and into the tangible. Opening with the melancholy of ‘Transhuman’ lush emotional tones set the scene perfectly and is one of many softer moments that allow the album to breathe. The single releases from the album showcase Blindsmyth’s up-tempo side experimenting with ‘Remember The Days’ which benefits from clever breakbeat percussion layers and a strong lyrical content. Keys melt into the words for cosy warm up vibes, and the listener is reminded of a sound that dominated clubland in the late ‘90s, becoming an inspirational genre for many young producers.
The midsection of the album is an audio ocean of deep emotion from the wistfulness of ‘A Musical Hug’ through the edgy Burial-esque Garage beats of ‘Connection Error’ towards the oriental ambience of ‘Emotion Per Byte’, everything flows naturally.
The second single due to be released just before Christmas is ‘Hack Into Your Soul’.

Its up-tempo Afro feel neatly juxtaposes those deeper moments with warm key and vocals. A secret weapon for the early morning floors that has a strong emotional content and bags of personality. Keeping the energy high on the album is ‘Delete Your Cloud’, which takes a powerful tribal path with intricate drum programming before the penultimate cut, ‘Digital Choral’ acts as analogue cleanser, before the finale ‘ berfahrt’ which gloriously plays out in widescreen technicolour.
The final single and title track ‘All That Fiberglass’ acts as the most dancefloor-focused cut on the album. Icy keys and vocoder vocals give an edgy and energetic peak time sound, a highlight of his recent live shows. The full vocal also showcases Blindsmyth’s song writing abilities and his development as an artist.

SX2 Podcast #21 - 28.04.22

DJ set prompt:

Create a seamless continuous DJ mix of a 7-track Ibiza-inspired cosmic glam disco house set. 
Blend tracks with smooth, glossy transitions using long reverb tails, filtered sweeps, and 
sidechain-ducked pads to preserve groove consistency.

Use:
• 70s-style disco strings during transitions (short staccato flourishes)  
• funky bassline continuity between tracks  
• neon synth arpeggio bridges (8–16 bars)  
• rising filter builds before each drop  
• subtle laser fx and cosmic sweeps in the sci-fi sections  
• half-time to full-time switch for the techno/DnB intermezzo  
• smooth return into glamorous dance-house atmosphere

Mix rules:
– Keep BPM between 124–128 with gentle BPM drift (±1) for natural feel.  
– Use harmonic mixing (Camelot 8A, 9A, 10A equivalent).  
– Maintain warm, deep club low-end; compression should stay soft and glossy.  
– Never allow silence; fill spaces with pads, filtered Rhodes chords, or reversed strings.  
– The final track (“Noche Eterna en la Tierra”) should resolve into an uplifting 
  global-house outro with wide stereo pads and shimmering cosmic ambience.

Mood arc:
1) elegant funky-house intro  
2) glamorous disco-night energy  
3) neon coastal drive vibes  
4) laser intermezzo + UFO techno moment  
5) retro-future explosion  
6) cosmic ascent  
7) triumphant Spanish global-house finale

Goal:
A 20–35 minute luxury DJ set with perfect flow, cinematic energy, and Ibiza night ambience.
