Astro returns with a high-octane collection of tracks, peaking at the dizzy heights of 138 BPM, engineered for late night club moments and steeped in early 00s/90s influences.  We were fortunate to have Cape Town's own Biodive for a remix, bringing a driving yet minimal sound, effortlessly captivating listeners.

A1, Subatomic, seizes the spotlight with its relentless, driving energy. It immerses us in a 2001 trance soundscape, featuring sharp synth lines and dynamic vocal chops, while echoing, panned stabs enhance the track's deep, otherworldly ambiance.

River Torque, panning UFO pads from a different dimension, shifting gears with precision. A tunnelling groove locks in, firing us straight into peak-time. Direct, relentless, and built for the highest intensity—this one drives everything forward. No escape, just pure momentum.

A3 sees Astro reconnect with his dub-techno origins, pulling in the deep, atmospheric vibes of his early work. Basic Channel-inspired textures are unmistakable, but here they surge. Reverb-soaked layers cascade over a pumping 909, while razor-sharp hats slice through the fog, propelling the track into a hypnotic, futuristic drive.

Wormhole is your go-to for testing low-end limits—bass-heavy, deep, and undeniable. This might be the most floor-shaking, post-pumping Astro track yet. The rich, undying textures crafted from the Blofeld Waldorf deliver sweeping alien FX, creating a soundscape that feels both immersive and extraterrestrial.

Biodive is one of those rare artists who can take a track to another level, almost transcending into another dimension. This remix embodies a minimal yet fierce Detroit sound—stripped down but powerful, hitting with precision and intensity. It’s the perfect choice to close out the EP, leaving a lasting impression with its raw energy and driving beat.

Usually inhabiting the large crossing between progressive trance and 90's tech house, Von GDK is coming through with a mean streak of sci-fi propulsion and smooth dancefloor pressure, pushed into heads-down interzones of tunnelling throb and gloomy melodic flourish.
Curve spirit is a condensate of the French producer’s psychedelic scope in its rawest form. The EP takes shape in a three tracker oozing with his sound signature, complete with a remix of Berlin's cutie troublemaker 131bpm.

'Liquid Pharaoh' comes as contemplative scape of deep trance and proggy rhythms with ethereal atmospheres and notions of introspection for a definite meditative club use.

Mirage Sud is proud to present its third release, The Curvature, the debut EP by Bouh, a young and talented Parisian producer.

Every experience is a lesson, whether born from an accumulation of knowledge or by chance. Music, like a tale, takes us from the known to the unknown, an endless quest in the art of storytelling. It guides us through sonic landscapes that unfold, creating parallel worlds in constant evolution.

Bouh’s compositions are just this kind of story, an initiatory path resembling the monomyth of the hero. Each sound pushes us to explore further without merely being another variation. It’s a journey towards new places of transformation. Through a progressive and refined trance, he immerses us in an epic, textured, and psychedelic sonic adventure. His tracks twist, expand, and contract like a breath, leading us beyond the simple cycle.

Like a melody that takes time to reveal itself, his work invites us to appreciate the detours and deviations. When we subtly dance with uncertainty, irregularity ceases to be a flaw and becomes a form of beauty that can be found in every variation. The Curvature is the story of a line that wanted to be a curve. It’s the beginning of a spiral, a path to infinity.

PREMIERE: Bouh - Volta

Usually inhabiting the large crossing between progressive trance and 90's tech house, Von GDK is coming through with a mean streak of sci-fi propulsion and smooth dancefloor pressure, pushed into heads-down interzones of tunnelling throb and gloomy melodic flourish.
Curve spirit is a condensate of the French producer’s psychedelic scope in its rawest form. The EP takes shape in a three tracker oozing with his sound signature, complete with a remix of Berlin's cutie troublemaker 131bpm.  While 'Liquid Pharaoh' comes as contemplative scape of deep trance and proggy rhythms with ethereal atmospheres and notions of introspection for a definite meditative club use, 'Curve Spirit' is channelled through the same explorative prism maintaining a balance between rich textures, fullbody drums and stargazing melodic parts.
 'Square Magnitude' takes turn to a ravey direction with its robust bassline and sharp, staccato stabs pulling the listener from cosmic depth to full-throttle intensity. Pulsing with hypnotic pressure and industrial edge, it provides a soundtrack of choice to euphoric, high-octane moments.
The remix of this last one by 131bpm takes things in a sexier, more club-oriented direction. This rework keeps the track's driving energy but adds a smooth, hypnotic progression with a groove that feels tailored for peak-hour moments-slinky, seductive, and absolutely built to move bodies.

So happy to share the next vinyl release on Neptune Discs; this time with four heaters that take the sound even further. After the huge response to last summer’s debut vinyl, we return the va series with more prog 90s/00s flavours from rising talents around planet earth: Jeku, Tifra, DJ Life, B From E. 🧚‍♂️👽

———

Jeku’s opener sets the tone with its downtempo allure, featuring alien vocal chops and twisting acid lines that feel like transmissions from another world. A slow descent into the unknown, where rich textures and drifting melodies blur past and future. Following his standout release on Harmony Rec, Jeku continues to push boundaries with his unique, hypnotic sound.

Tifra’s track on B2 catapults us into a high-energy, club-driven reality. The relentless bassline powers forward, while otherworldly synths inject a sense of urgency that sharply contrasts with the opener’s reflective mood. Quickly becoming one of the staple names of the progressive scene, Tifra’s sound continues to evolve with undeniable force.

DJ Life kicks off the B-side with his signature blend of playful, club-ready cuts that effortlessly command the dance floor. Trance elements weave through the mix like echoes from another dimension. With releases on respected labels like Craigie Knowes, Dansu Discs, and Gestalt Records, DJ Life brings a fresh energy that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

B From E closes the EP with a progressive acid track that feels like the culmination of everything before it. The 303s twist and spiral, while the bassline pushes forward with intensity, pulling us toward an unknown destination. Known for his versatility, B From E brings a unique energy to every track, his second outing on Neptune Discs.
