Exta

The vocals on this track are special, as they truly describe how I feel about connecting with music. I have always been a raver at heart, so when I say come dance with me, I mean it! Seeing so many familiar faces on the dancefloor this summer will bring a smile to my face.

Release: 10th May 2024

EXHALE welcomes Belgian prodigy BYØRN to the family, bringing a unique blend of hard techno and ethereal and cinematic influences. With acclaimed releases on labels like Taapion, Etruria Beat, No Mercy, and Revised Records, Antwerp-based BYØRN has quickly solidified his presence as a rising star in the industry and is now ready for his debut on EXHALE with an explosive release.

Ragnarok EP features three tracks showcasing BYØRN's innovative fusion of styles and relentless drive. 'Ragnarok' starts the journey, an anthem with epic fantasy melodies and a cinematic break that envelop listeners in its energetic, thunderous vibe. The pace intensifies with 'Release Yourself', a deep dive into cinematic euphoria with resonating brass and angelic melodies. A climactic vocal invites you to "release yourself in the unknown" before a powerful drop showcases BYØRN's mastery of dynamic soundscapes, layered synths, and finely crafted transitions. Rounding out the release, 'Source' melds a hard techno groove infused with cinematic SFX and a thick acid bassline, building up to a choir-enhanced break that explodes into a transcendent blend of melody and emotion.

Release: 26th July 2024

It’s almost impossible to believe that a label with so much international notoriety is still within its first ten releases. Still, Belgian Techno protagonist Amelie Lens’ EXHALE imprint is set to make even more noise with its ninth release. Following a spate of well-received singles from Amelie and the latest offering from fellow Antwerp native BYØRN, EXHALE prepares itself for an impressive fifth VA, featuring 14 selected cuts from 16 artists in total. A slew of internationally recognised names and rising new-age talent, welcoming back some familiar faces alongside some debutants, including two collaboration tracks.

Led by Amelie Lens’ ‘Underneath The Strobelights’, featuring her trademark vocals she paves the way for EXHALE VA005. Fellow Antwerp local NOVAH debuts on the label, after her notable b2b sets with BYØRN of late, her track ‘Inner Odyssey’ is followed by VENTUR’s ‘Let It Kick’, a track that lives up to its name. Young Irishman Luciid also makes his first appearance with the epic cut ‘Era Of Us’. BYØRN is back with another massive offering in ‘Our Destiny’, followed by SWART, who also returns with ‘Extazy’ a hard hitting pacy vocal peak timer. Teletech resident Alex Farell makes his debut alongside Farrago, in their first collab together on ‘All Systems Go’, with its spoken vocals and pummelling bass, before French producer ARDL at just 21 debuts with ‘Hyperactive’, with his focus on raw sounding techno.

Another duo of back-to-back debuts sees the elusive FLKN drop ‘Rumble’, influenced by 303 sounds, he makes things dark and distorted. UK-based Aaron Hibell with the vampiric ‘1999’, its bouncy fast bass it makes it the grooviest techno track of the VA. Berliner Afem Syko’s known for his unpredictable, vibrant sets offer his track ‘Slingshot’, backed up by returning American powerhouse and Terra Novae label founder Chemtrailz who become loved for his trance-inducing techno hybrid sound, teams up alongside Hani with their track ‘Goddessblood’. Italy’s Rian Wood comes in hot with penultimate cut ‘Anima’, as he expresses his passion for music through hard techno, neo rave and old school influences. Closing off the colossal VA is French talent, La Kajofol who recently released on ARTCORE. She seals the release with the irresistibly signature ‘Black Rhapsody’. Her music brings a unique style of her own which she calls ‘Mystical Techno’, infusing hypnotism into psytrance and techno with her eerie vocals.

Championing the diversity of the modern-day techno paradigm, EXHALE’s latest VA dips its toe into a myriad of genres, with nods to psytrance, breakbeat, hardstyle, classical and even drum & bass across thirteen freakishly heavy dancefloor-primed stompers. It’s everything you’d want from a release that showcases artistry in its simplest form.

My Fantasy

The UK-based rising star Mha Iri continues her astronomical ascent in 2024 with her latest EP release, ‘Mind Bender,’ on Filth On Acid. The EP kicks off with its title track, featuring an unrelenting, pulsating beat and an aggressive bassline that makes it impossible not to dance, emerging the public in an intense and dark atmosphere. ‘3 AM,’ keeps the energy from the previous track by boasting a driving bassline and enticing vocals adding to that the crushing kick drums and hi hats immersing the listener into what an underground rave should be. ‘Lights Out’ closes this monster of an EP, showcasing Mha Iri’s masterful production skills. Commanding vocals merge with hard-hitting techno, add to that the perfect touch of acidic notes and the progressive build ups during the entire track and Mha Iri finishes her EP in the best possible way.
