Youra State – melodic techno journey
A deep dive into hypnotic rhythms, cinematic layers, and emotional tension.

This set is a slow-burning voyage through the darker corners of melodic techno. Pulsating basslines, haunting synths, and evolving textures build a soundscape that’s both introspective and powerful. Youra State curates a sonic experience that speaks to late-night minds and restless souls — structured, yet fluid; moody, yet elevating.

For solitary walks, neon nights, and deep inner motion.

Youra State - melodic techno jorney 2 (mixed)

The song 'It's My Life' by artist Dr. Alban is an anthem of self-affirmation and personal independence. With an infectious rhythm typical of 90s Eurodance, the lyrics convey a clear message of individual freedom and resistance against outside interference. The chorus, 'It's my life take it or leave it', serves as a powerful reminder that each person has the right to live their life as they see fit, without the need for approval or control from others.
He encourages people to live their own lives and leave others alone, emphasizing the importance of personal experience and learning through experience.
So...
Enjoy this Remix...

Isolée’s Arrival

When three people run a label together it is exceptionally rare to find a positive unified opinion of a record upon first listen. When Isolée sent his "Mangroove" EP to Maeve, this was in fact what happened. But it is Isolée after all....

Mangroove came about last summer when The Drifter happened to catch Isolée's live set at a festival in Switzerland. Instantly blown away by the A side "Pisco" he was determined to find out what it was and if it was to be released. After chatting, Isolée suggested that he would send "Pisco" along with a couple of other "demos" to Maeve and a few days later the EP was happening.

Isolée has created some of the most important and beautiful records of our generation and has being a huge influence on what we do, thus we are incredibly excited and humbled to release his work.

This three track EP shows several different sides of the Frankfurt native, from the A-side dance floor catalyst that is "Pisco" to the deeper dubbier B-sides of "L5 Syndrome" and "Mangrove". This is the perfect record to mark our tenth release.

The debut EP from electronic live duo Stereocalypse on Siamese Records.
Title track ‘Lace Star’ is a subtle yet hypnotic record. Sterocalypse utilise the full duration of the track to add layers to an ever evolving soundscape, with a guitar, echoing synths and a subtle bassline coming together towards the track’s climax.
It’s followed by the humorously titled ‘Not A B Side’, an atmospheric cut with a fusion of percussive and electronic elements giving it an exotic feel. The EP rounds off with ‘Shandy’s Eagle’; showing a little more of the duo’s experimental side, its trippy synth layers and soft bassline make for an ideal way to round off this eclectic EP.
Stereocalypse aim to combine experience and instinct, analog feeling and modern textures in their boundary-free work. A completely new project from two experienced producers, the ‘Lace Star’ EP is a statement of intent from the duo.
