Celebrated French DJ and electronic music pioneer OXIA continues the journey toward his new album with the release of "Colors of Life", landing June 27 on Diversions – the boutique record label he runs alongside long-time collaborator and friend Nicolas Masseyeff.
Following May’s warmly received single “Presence”, this latest offering serves as the second glimpse into OXIA’s forthcoming studio album "Aelle", slated for release later this year.

Colors of Life showcases OXIA’s refined ability to blend uplifting musicality with an infectious groove. Vibrant melodies, shimmering textures and subtly layered percussive detail paint a euphoric soundscape that feels both cinematic and dancefloor-ready. It’s a track that resonates with optimism – an expansive follow up to the introspective tones of its predecessor – yet retains the artist’s signature emotional depth and melodic finesse.

Where Presence introduced the intimate nuances of Aelle, Colors of Life opens up the sonic palette further, reflecting the evolving dynamism of the album’s vision. It’s a celebration of musical color, rhythm and feeling; a testament to OXIA’s versatility as a producer with over two decades of international acclaim.

As anticipation builds for the full release of "Aelle" OXIA continues to affirm his place among the genre’s most forward-thinking artists. From landmark releases on labels like All Day Dream, Knee Deep In Sound or Bedrock, to iconic remixes for artists such as Moby, John Digweed or Agoria, his influence remains both broad and enduring.
With "Colors of Life", OXIA delivers another compelling chapter in the story of "Aelle" – an album poised to be one of the year’s most affecting and elegant electronic works.

Get Physical Music welcomes back longtime favorite Niconé with “What Do U Know” — a vibrant, genre-blurring single that leans into disco-inspired euphoria while keeping one foot firmly on the dancefloor.

Out July 11, 2025, this release sees the Berlin-based maverick at his most playful and melodic, fusing rich strings, warm synth textures, crisp disco drums, and catchy vocal snippets into a feel-good groove that’s as much for listening as it is for dancing.

Known for constantly reshaping the boundaries of electronic music, Niconé brings his signature edge to a sound that’s brighter and more carefree — but no less bold. “What Do U Know” pulses with charisma and charm, offering a moment of levity that still hits with club precision.

Niconé has long walked the tightrope between outsider and icon, never following the rules but always setting a vibe. With appearances at clubs and festivals across the globe, he’s built a reputation for unpredictability and pure musical energy. Whether you’re grooving at home or under open skies, this one brings the bounce.

Out July 11 on Get Physical Music — “What Do U Know” is the disco-tinged, string-laced summer jam you didn’t know you needed.

Following the announcement of Backtrack Blow Up as his Essential New Tune, I was invited by Pete Tong to record a 30 minute Hot Mix. Part of the brief was to choose a theme, so I came up with “Tested Across Time Zones”: a snapshot selection of unreleased tracks I played on tour that either sparked the biggest crowd reactions or brought in the most ID requests.

1. Samantha Loveridge - Backtrack Blow Up (Max Styler Remix)
2. Meloko, Utli - End Of Time
3. Selim Sivade & Barbara - Savage (Radio Edit)
4. HeAndMe - Retire From A 9 To 5
5. Meloko - Brazil Mania
6. Josh Gregg - Do More
7. Pippi Ciez, ASKAR - Metropolis
8. HaZa - Nothing Left To Prove

Designing is Ben's métier. He plans houses full-time, at heart he is an architect of sounds. Driven and inspired by music of all kinds, it is his faithful companion. A constant with changes of direction, but lasting importance.

Since he was 15, Ben has put passion and musicality into productions and his own projects. Back then at the basement with rough guitar riffs, he played and sang in various bands, lived punk and metal performed as a singer or bassist, screamed his lungs out, listened to hip hop beats at the same time and wrote his own notes and lines. A musical chameleon with a preference for the minor key. Ben loves and quotes a singer-songwriter just as electronic arrangements, which are in focus for him today as a DJ and producer.

In his melodically composed sound, Ben's diversity plays a prominent role.
“Due to my broad spectrum, I fall back on different elements of individual genres. The focus is on dark, melancholic sounds, mixed with brute bass lines, supported by driving rhythms”.
Still at home in Aschaffenburg, a cousin already played tracks as DJ in clubs, leading Ben from the analogue to the digital playground. Ben changed his hairstyle and from the stage to the DJ booth. Apart from stage diving he now plays deep DJ sets and produces his own unique sound.

Starting at the Club Dornheim, where he performed as a resident DJ, he set up his own events in cooperation with his former collective (Hucklelarry, Phil & Ben Sawyer). A turn of tides on his new course, as he entered a completely different scene here and at the same time discovered an unobtrusive, relaxed atmosphere that moves him in the long term. Here he played alongside acts such as Mimi Love, Tereza, Guzy, Yuven, Foolik, Ströme, Sokool …
“I love this club - it's full of passion and attention to detail. There you will find yourself as part of an uniquely magical atmosphere. Everyone should spent at least one night here.”

The musician soon headed to other places with various side projects, was hired for locations such as Mensch Maier in Berlin or Tante Pinte in Sissach and played at open airs alongside Felix Kröcher and Karotte.
For professional reasons, Ben finally set sail and moved to Hamburg in 2018, where he worked for the record label Katz & Kauz and was an important part of the combo Cosmokat. Not insignificantly, the influences of Ben determine the color of Hamburg's underground techno sound, which is evident at performances in established clubs and captivates the dancing crowd.
