Felix Laband’s The Soft White Hand is the masterwork of an artist who expresses himself through musical and artistic collage acting together to reinterpret his sources and to express significant elements of his own personal story.
Released by Munich-based Compost Records, the 14-track album is Laband’s first full-length offering since the critically acclaimed Deaf Safari in 2015.


In The Soft White Hand Laband works with source materials that will be familiar to those who know his previous four records – Thin Shoes in June (2001), 4/4 Down the Stairs (2002), Dark Days Exit (2005) and especially Deaf Safari which reached deep into the South Africa scene and its political culture to inspire its vocal and music sampling. However, the disengagement he felt from his homeland during his latest album’s creation – an abiding sense of untethered-ness to place and space, exquisitely rendered in tracks like “Death of a Migrant” – is perceptible in Laband’s desire to illuminate instead aspects of his own life.
“For this album, my source material became almost autobiographical as opposed to African statements I’ve worked with previously,” says the artist. “I have sampled a lot from documentaries from the 80s crack epidemic in impoverished African American communities and
believe my work speaks unapologetically for the lost and marginalised, for those who are the forgotten casualties of the war on drugs. In the past, I have had my issues with substance abuse, and I know first-hand about the nightmares and fears, what it feels like to be isolated and abandoned.”

Spyashchiye V Polete  (Sleeping In Flight), 120 BPM/WAV

From the heart of London’s club circuit emerges a producer who reimagines disco’s golden glow through a modern house lens. His tracks pulse with the warmth of vinyl-sampled grooves, chopped vocals, and basslines built for late-night dance floors. Funk, French touch, and UK grit collide in his productions, creating an instantly recognizable signature: playful, driving, and irresistibly euphoric.

The sound found its perfect home on his own imprint, Pomme Frite, a label devoted to feel-good house and disco edits that celebrate rhythm and texture over trends. Releases like Let Me Through and Cheap Thrills showcase a confident balance between nostalgia and innovation - music that nods to filter-house pioneers yet feels unmistakably current.

Behind the decks, Alex Virgo channels the same energy that drives his studio work, blending punchy percussion with melodies that shimmer under strobe lights. Each set is a conversation between eras, connecting Chicago’s soul, Paris’s flair, and London’s underground pulse. His vision is simple yet potent: to make people move with joy.

And in a time when dance music often leans on excess, his groove-driven authenticity feels refreshingly pure.
