Few albums manage to evoke a time and place with such startling effect as the unlikely collaboration Leave the Bones (out August 6th), between the multi-generational Haitian band Lakou Mizik and Grammy-winning electronic music artist Joseph Ray.

Since its inception Lakou Mizik has sought to re-define people’s conceptions of Haiti through its music. The nine piece band, formed in 2010, is emblematic of the melting pot that is Haiti’s musical culture. Lakou’s figurehead, Sanba Zao, one of only ten original Sanba poets left, played a central role in Haiti’s Rasin (roots) movement of the 1980s which sought to re-imagine traditional Haitian Vodou music through radical experimentation with modern instruments. This spirit of Haiti’s rich musical history underpins Lakou Mizik today; a multi-generational genre-blending ensemble that plays traditional Haitian music with a punk energy and a deep sense of their heritage. 

Joseph Ray, a Grammy winner and founding member of the pioneering Platinum selling electronic music trio, NERO, had never heard of Lakou when he arrived in Haiti in 2015, having volunteered to teach a course at Haiti’s only music production and audio engineering school, the Artist's Institute. Ray stumbled on Lakou at a tiny beach side club in Jakmel; the scene that night was frenetic and ecstatic, evocative of the spirit of Ray’s early electronic music clubbing experiences. The band’s organic power entranced Ray, who saw the possibility of merging his cinematic electronic production style with Lakou’s own traditional dance rhythms. Their subsequent six year journey led to Leave the Bones, teaching Ray more about himself and music than any other period in his life.

Today, Lakou Mizik and Ray premiered the album’s debut single, ‘Ogou (Pran Ma Kwen)’, via NPR World Cafe, giving a telling look at what’s to come. Characterised by vibrant strings, traditional Haitian rhythms and a jubilant chorus, ‘Ogou (Pran Ka Mwen)’ is an impassioned plea to the Vodou spirit of Iron and War for protection from the brutality of life’s daily battles - “Ogou, you brought me here, take care of me.”

By way of preview, Leave the Bones weaves us through the euphoric swagger of No Rival!, to the bluesy beautiful melancholy of Lamizè Pa Dous (Misery Isn’t Sweet). It takes us to dance in the mystical underworld of Bade Zile (Under the Island), yet offers lessons for the living, reminding us we should not underestimate those who seem easy to walk upon on Zeb Atè (Grass of the Earth), and that we are all one people, Nou Tout Se Moun.

Brazil-born, Mannheim-based duo Claxy make their official Anjunadeep label debut with the new ‘Ahead EP’, following the appearance of lead track ‘Closer’ on flagship compilation Anjunadeep 14 earlier this year.

Formed of singer, composer and pianist Clara Valente, and producer/drummer Gui Gautreaux, the duo have had previous successes under Clara’s name, with their album ‘Mil Coisas’ reaching the iTunes Top 10 and being selected as one of the ‘Best Albums of the Year’ in Brazil in 2014. The pair have toured extensively in Brazil, Argentina, the USA and much of Europe, including at renowned taste-making festivals like SXSW.

Now, under their newer electronic-leaning alias, the pair deliver the four-track ‘Ahead EP’ that showcases their songwriting prowess. Synths and drum machines provide the foundation of four deep and organic house tracks through which live instrumentation such as strings, piano and percussion permeate. The songs are tied together with Clara’s own spellbinding vocals, and an intricate production that cannot help but draw the listener in.

‘Ahead EP’ is out October 27 via Anjunadeep.

Claxy - Closer

LYRICS

Long night over the ocean
And as strong a mind as ever
But I don’t think you know
Where to hide anymore
We are hopelessly connected
Connected

It’s your mind that hurts

We tried to go it alone
But I told you all my secrets
One at a time
Even your unlocked heart
You left it open
We are hopelessly connected
Connected
We are hopelessly connected

It’s your mind that hurts

The symphony opens up
I’m for you, alone
See my soul in the sunlight
I’m for you alone
I love what you couldn’t love
Alone
I’m for you alone

I couldn’t go there alone
Alone

Long night over the ocean
And as strong a mind as ever
But I don’t think you know
Where to hide anymore
We are hopelessly connected
Connected

I couldn’t go there alone
Alone

Bristol dance music legend Jody Wisternoff has announced his highly-anticipated third studio album, ‘Welcome To My World’. The announcement arrives alongside the release of the album's lead single ‘Mui’; a collaboration with James Grant, PROFF, and Takeshi Furukawa, featuring the evocative vocals of Siobhan Wilson.

Wisternoff, a pivotal figure in the UK's rave scene since the early '90s, is renowned for his keen ear for talent and his role in shaping the sound of the Anjunadeep label, where he co-curates the chart-topping annual compilation series. His career began back in 1986 at the age of 13 as a finalist in the DMC World DJ Championship, and he quickly became a mainstay of the UK rave scene, performing at legendary venues like the Lakota club in Bristol and for iconic promoters such as Fantazia and Universe.

A chance meeting with Nick Warren in a record store led to the formation of Way Out West, the pioneering duo behind several UK-charting singles and the UK dance number one hit ‘Mindcircus’. Their 1997 self-titled album garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success, and 20 years later, their Anjunadeep album ‘Tuesday Maybe’, became a firm favourite among the Anjuna fanbase and saw popular reworks from electronic music royalty including Guy J and Ben Böhmer.

Since then, Jody has released two solo studio albums on Anjunadeep, including the acclaimed ‘Nightwhisper’, which has garnered over 20 million streams and received support from BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM Chill. Across his distinguished catalogue, Wisternoff has amassed over 70 million streams, with his tracks earning praise from industry heavyweights like Eelke Kleijn, John Digweed, Nora En Pure, Chicane, and more.

Now, on new album ‘Welcome To My World’, Jody Wisternoff dives deeper into his extensive musical journey, and reflects the eclectic influences that have shaped his career. Across its 14 tracks, the album features his signature blend of emotive, intricate melodies and dynamic production techniques, punctuated by his trademark breaks.

‘Mui’, the lead single, is a fresh interpretation of award winning composer and conductor Takeshi Furukawa's ‘Shutdown’, originally composed for the Planet of Lana video game. After hearing Siobhan Wilson's soulful vocals on the track, Jody, James Grant, and PROFF were inspired to create their unique version, which first appeared on Anjunadeep 15 and quickly became a fan favourite.

The album also features standout tracks such as ‘Tales From Beyond’ with Nox Vahn and Natascha Polke, ‘Rain’ featuring Sian Evans, and ‘Ease Yourself’, all of which showcase Wisternoff's refined production skills that have earned him support from the likes of SiriusXM Chill and BBC Radio 1.

Jody Wisternoff has also unveiled a global tour spanning 29 dates across North America, the UK, Asia, and Australia, with stops in major cities including London, New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney.

‘Welcome To My World’ will be released on December 6 via Anjunadeep.

After his recent remix of Deviu’s ‘Snow’ Ft. Mira Nait, French producer Aalson returns to Purified Records with his three-track ‘Daylight’ EP. The title track encapsulates the magic of daylight in sonic form, blending gentle instrumentation and glowing synths across flowing basslines. Moving into ‘Echoes Of Dawn’, nature samples are paired with breakbeat patterns to achieve a poignant and touching atmosphere. Closing with ‘Dreamland’, Aalson builds a cinematic arrangement that fuses classical and contemporary elements to dramatic effect. 

The ‘Daylight’ EP artwork showcases a magnificent shot of a humpback whale gliding through the ocean. Humpback whales are known for their long migrations, traveling up to 16,000 miles annually between feeding and breeding grounds. These whales are also famous for their complex songs, which can last for hours and are thought to play a role in communication and mating. For more information on humpback whales and how to protect them, visit Ocean Alliance (@oceanalliance) at whales.org, a leading resource for whale conservation and home of the SnotBot (yes, it's as cool as it sounds).

Aalson - Daylight

A haunting electronic ballad where light meets shadow.
“The Soul Inside” blends cinematic darkness with spiritual warmth — a slow, hypnotic descent into the mystery of human code and emotion.
Electric voices whisper between worlds, while melodic echoes pulse like a heartbeat beneath the skin.
A journey through the hidden soul within. 🌌
