Ten DJ-ready melodic-techno tools sequenced for harmonic mixing from warm-up to peak and back. FDD1181–FDD1190 move through minor-key grooves, rolling basslines, gated hooks and peak arps, with clean intros/outros for fast, reliable blends. Built as a utility “toolset” for real rooms: functional, emotive, and mix-friendly.“Collective DJ” delivers ten precision-built cuts aimed squarely at the booth. The sequence (FDD1181–FDD1190) climbs from warm-up glide to peak-time lift and settles into an afterglow closer, keeping keys minor and BPMs tight for seamless harmonic mixing. Expect rolling low-end, gated synth lines, tool-grade drum programming and clear 8/16-bar structures that make quick work of transitions. Titles follow the Toolset logic—Warmup Layer, Drive Loop, Peak Arp, Closing Pad—so crate navigation is instant on a dark stage. Human taste leads; machine-scale rigor keeps everything consistent. Free for non-commercial play under the Fixer Creative License; commercial sync/licensing available on request.

Unknown Mobile should change his name to Banger Mobile because I feel like every time one Levi’s tune hits my ears I’m literally fuckin’ reelin’ for the dancefloor. “Tired”, his contribution to a killer various artists compilation on These Things Take Time hits on all the right levels and might be my favorite from his growing discography. Reviews aren’t supposed to be sad, but I’m pretty fucking sad that I can’t get absolutely destroyed by this tune on one of my local rave systems. I know, times are tough right now, but we will persevere and slaps like this will get the dancefloor time they deserve. OR WILL THEY!? I don’t fuckin’ know, okay. All I know is that I’d trade 30 Molson Canadian’s for a chance to take this tune out for a rip at Panorama Bar.

Normally, I’d have the words to describe the tune in finer detail. In the past I’ve given breakdowns of specific instrumentation choices and I’d point out the track’s perceived genre influences. BUT LIKE, THAT IS NOT RELEVANT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY SMASHING THE REPEAT BUTTON WITH MY WHOLE FUCKING FACE. PLEASE GOD SOMEONE MAKE ME A 45-MIN VERSION OF THIS TUNE. It’s really just everything I love about the current flavor of tech house and deep house and labels like Casa Voyager, Coymix, Dance All Day, etc. Floaty yet PUMPY, driving, spacey, punchy, techy, fuck man. Proper grammar goes right out the window when a track hits like “Tired” does.

Anyways, I hope ya’ll enjoy the one review I’ll write this year, and I hope it came across that I really really really love this tune. And for the love of all that is holy please check out the full project. Regularfantasy has assembled a serious cast of characters for this one and there are plenty of other amazing tunes to be heard.
Compilation: Vol. 002 is set for release on October 9th on all your favorite online shops. Cop it from Bandcamp, though. Big love to ya’ll. Stay safe. Stay well. Stay golden.

PREMIERE: Unknown Mobile - Tired

Next up on Bliss Point is "Fp" / "Riza", two expertly crafted house cuts from Ko Yang, a DJ, producer and promoter out of Kyoto, Japan.

A founding member of the long running City Boy Lounge parties in Osaka, Ko Yang and friends have hosted a number of familiar names - Axel Boman, Soichi Terada, Shinichiro Yokota, and Fatima Yamaha, to name a few.

CBL is a homegrown affair. The crew bring their own system to the back of a cafe once a month to heat up the early half of a good night out. “After the party finishes, everyone relaxes outside the cafe,” Ko Yang writes. “Then they miss the last train and head to the nightclub.”

“Our party is the warm up for night. That’s our responsibility for music culture in Osaka.”

I’m excited to welcome Ko Yang into the Bliss Point family with "Fp" / "Riza", two exquisite dance floor constructions from a well seasoned DJ and party person.

Mastered by Helmut Erler at Dubplates & Mastering.

South-Korean DJ JNS, the founder and head of Honey Badger Records in Seoul, is dropping his debut feature-length album, “Miasma,” on October 30th. JNS is steadily rising in the electronic community, having performed a killer set for Boiler Room Seoul in 2019 (his second Boiler Room following his debut in 2016), and having debuted numerous original songs and remixes on famed radio stations like BBC  Radio 1, NTS, Redlight Radio, and Worldwide FM. He has also been at the forefront of showcasing South Korean talent through his record label, which is coming off a productive year with three EP releases, including Closet Yi’s sensational “Ruminate EP” which we covered on the site back in May.

	“Sour Grapes”, the third track off the album, is a deceivingly mellow cut that involves layers of instrumentation to create a steadily escalating groove. Starting off with a jaunty bass-line, skittering percussion quickly settles in giving the track a slightly high-strung energy. This is soon balanced out by spacey synth washes and that recurring bassline. The track ultimately shapes itself into a tight-yet-languid micro-house tune, existing somewhere in the space between restless and chilled-out. 

	JNS seems to languish in this tough balancing act. The tempo increases toward the end of the track, but cuts off just before it feels like it might finally spin out of control. It’s clear from this track along that JNS is a master craftsman of finely-tuned, expressive House that defies easy categorization.

PREMIERE: JNS - Sour Grapes

Lo Fidelity is very proud to present their first vinyl release: Rave Invaders Vol. 1 by @Ground16 including @Nachtbraker remix.

Introducing Swiss producer/dj Ground16 for his first solo ep on vinyl! The first two tracks on A-side are groovy house tracks, with warm chords and sneaky acid bass lines. The third track is a chilled down hip-hop instrumental, with trippy synth melodies accompanied with deep string to carry you along the ride. On the B-side Ground16 finishes with a heavy electro banger, which will surely get the dance floor going. Nachtbraker totally flipped ‘Absurdity’ into a solid trippy remix with influences from breakbeat and liquid dnb.
