----------
'The back end of summer will see Italian DJ and producer Christopher Ledger inaugurate his own Hidden Folder label. A new and innovative project that will see Christopher enter uncharted territory embracing the versatility of his sound by releasing various strains of emotive house and progressive, entities which can also be found in his sets in recent times. The 001 release wanders through four distinct cuts from Ledger (one of those digital only), and in addition, there is a classy and uplifting remix from Danish producer C.K, a key member of the famous 2 Bit Crew. 

The opening track “Initialization” is constructed upon tight and punchy drum patterns, conversing perfectly with the elasticated bass line that drives the track. Melt in your mind synths glistening throughout. The aptly named “Lunar Empathy” enters the room next, an enormous energy is created by the Rome-based beatmaker. Dusty nostalgic drums and plucky bass change-ups make this a journey for the moments. 

“A Deeper Thought” leads the way on the B side, an intricately arranged quest, transcending its listener, but yet still moving the dance floor. A beautiful combination of depth and drive, a key component of Ledger’s current sound. C.K remixes “A Deeper Thought” steering it in a new direction, and inspirational house exploration looking to lift the vibe, oozing with feel-good energy. Sitting as a digital-only track is the irresistible groove, “Logical Form”, a playful and animated addition to the EP, which will sit comfortably within collections far and wide this year. 

Landing on wax with a limited press of 40 copies and on digital, Christopher embarks on an exciting new chapter of his career, further cementing himself as a stand-out producer of modern times, never shying away from straining the boundaries of his sound and implementing this all into his craft as a DJ.'

Heimyl ↓
Co-fondateur du collectif BMK et du label Undergroove Records, ce manitou du groove avec sa sacrée collection de vinyles bien aiguisés est également producteur de musique électronique à la recherche d’émotion. Son alter ego <Lazer Man> est une passerelle vers une musique à la fois sombre et deep, influencée par des artistes comme Carl Finlow ou Drexciya, avec une touche plus rock et plus funk.

Locked-In returns with its eighth vinyl release, showcasing the talents of DOTT in a four-track EP.

The A-side opens with "Shock FM", setting the EP's tone.  DOTT's masterful sound design is fully displayed, building tension and release through intricate percussion. The track's progression is sure to captivate dancefloors and headphone listeners alike.

"The Helper Returns" follows, diving deeper into atmospheric territory. Swirling synths intertwine with a driving bassline, evoking vast, subaqueous landscapes. The track's subtle evolution reveals new sonic details with each listen.

Flipping to the B-side, "A Bit of Dis & Dat" presents a more stripped-back approach. Its minimalist structure allows each carefully placed element to shine, from crisp hi-hats to a rumbling low-end. This is DJ material to maintain energy while adding depth to their sets.

The EP closes with "Sine Bass Runs Deep." Here, undulating rhythms and shimmering top-end create a sense of constant motion, perfect for those early morning hours when the dancefloor is locked in a collective trance.

A well-established force in the electronic music scene, the Manchester-based artist—Jake Scott, J6's real name—crafts a sonic experience that is spooky, mysterious, and wonky, reflecting the unique essence of his sound.

The mix features a handful of unreleased gems, giving a taste of his ever-evolving catalog.

With past releases on labels like Crossbreeds, You&me, and Kuusou, J6 has consistently delivered forward-thinking club cuts, gaining support from heavyweights like Cristi Cons, Josh Baker, Voigtmann, Anthea, and B.Ai. His newest release, "I Like It", finds a home on Jooice’s VA EP, standing alongside contributions from Aline Umber & Krol, Christian Sarde, and Otis.

With art:cast °179, J6 invites you into a shadowy labyrinth of sound—a mix that doesn’t just demand your attention, but lures you deeper into its cryptic musical world.
