The clouds parted slowly to reveal the hazy blue expanse of sky in the distance beyond - it was what they had all been waiting for as they gathered on the shore. Looking out into the distance as the waves rolled in against the pier it was hard to wonder what might be any better than this. The breeze blew softly and the smell of a grill burnt hot in the distance. Was this paradise? It certainly seemed that way.

He'd never imagined that he might find euphoria here, out here in the middle of nowhere surrounded by strangers whom might one day become friends. It was hard to imagine a life without them now for they too had lived through the cloudy fog to see the sun rise at the beginning of a new morning. They were all in this together.

Wolf Music are back with a new split EP featuring friends and family, this track by Manuel Darquart captures the 'euphoria' of the late ineties Italian house era. These were simpler times, with happy go lucky music and a cocktail on ice to go alongside. This one has us feeling all kinds of summer.

PREMIERE: Manuel Daquart - Euphoria [Wolf Music]

The room was crowded with onlookers who had come to witness what had been described as a beautiful miracle. What could be the harm in that? For it was always a wonder to see somebody healed from hurt - to see somebody rise upwards and face the demons which had been recklessly punishing them for, oh, so very long.

An organ played softly in the background as the pastor began to mutter a magnificent spell from the stage. There were gasps and exclaims as the lights flickered and danced on and off whilst the sound began to echo and refrain between the walls of this old building. There was an eerie, ethereal presence which hung thick in the air as the small, crippled woman rose from her seat on the bench.

This was it, the moment they had all been waiting for, as she began to stand.

Hardmatter are back with more delicately crafted, elegant deep house - this time featuring two producers of determined skill and prowess when it comes to working the dancefloor. Javonntte and Malik Alston feature on this new split EP - the latter of which delivers this track called 'Stand' and guides us towards the dark and murky rooms.

PREMIERE: Malik Alston - Stand [Hardmatter]

Parisian producer Cosmonection delivers four ultra-smooth, dream-like house cuts via his ‘Launch’ EP on stalwart label ‘Oath’…Staying true to his house roots, Cosmonection maintains a blissful and richly textured theme across all four tracks, conjuring memories of sunny mornings and worry-free days at the beach; one for the dreamers and house heads alike.

PREMIERE : Cosmonection - 128 Miles

Exclusive: Matthieu Faubourg - Liquid

Globetrotter Matthieu Faubourg returns with his second studio, Same But Not Really, to the scene delivering his audience an eight tracker that is not necessarily designed for the dance floors of the world, but definitely makes sure it hits people right where they need to be met - in their souls. Maybe it’s the various influences from all the countries and different cultures Matthieu has got to know, maybe it’s diverse personality, maybe it’s a mixture of everything that makes the artist always come up with music, which is so appealing and attractive. However, shortly before the release of Same But Not Really, Matthieu greets us from Prague, giving us the reasons for his permanent moves, speaking of how the album came about and freedoms he enjoys while working on music as well as he explains the difference between the album and his EP on Shall Not Fade.
