March

Hot off the heels of her Panoramabar Berlin premiere and an upcoming Boiler Room Istanbul debut, Zeynep Erbay returns to Exploited, continuing her efflorescence with 'Time Comes': a beautiful and joyous ascent that definitively frames an ecstatic state of being.

Straight from the get go the track exudes a psychedelic warmth as a humid, swirling pad maps out goosebumps along the listeners spine and delayed vocal blobs flicker and gently fizz. Unapologetic piano chords burst in and gallop in lockstep with a chugging Italo bass line as the mood continues to rush.

Palms grow moist and pupils widen as snare fills punctuate progress and eventually a bittersweet vocal pours in carrying the raw emotion of the final moments of a long, transportive rave. This is powerful, confident dance music from an artist well versed in capturing memorable moments - not to be missed!

While some guys will tell you now it’s all computers, at Turbo we know in our hearts that everything in life can be understood as a funhouse mirror. Sascha Funke’s massive 2017 hit “MZ” is one of the most iconic house records ever released on our label, and thus deserving of the ultimate honour: a remix pack reflecting each of the manifold facets of a modern dancefloor classic from the most prestigious and respected angles imaginable.

As studious Turbo watchers have no doubt clocked*, we have paid access to the halls of European power, where you get to make backroom deals with Emmanuel Macron and British Seinfeld as Opus’ “Live is Life” blares over a gigantic bluetooth speaker. And, yeah, you’ll probably run into the most celebrated European producers of our time. Pional, Axel Boman, Mano Le Tough, and Roman Flügel — these are the kinds of names you only see once you’ve reached the highest levels of success, be it in dance music production or purchasing the hottest tickets in town on your favorite mobile device. We called each on these titans to anoint “MZ” into the modern pantheon of club anthems, and you can bet your last eurobond that they delivered. But we also wanted some new blood, so we turned to rising Lithuanian superstar DJ JM. JM is now a deep part of the Turbo family, and he’s made the theoretical space between bad-boy cousin and beloved nephew fully his own with what we hope Rolling Stone Magazine will call “a distinctively modern edge."

*Clocking is a cool way of noticing things. Try it sometime!

Sascha Funke - MZ (Roman Flügel Remix)

https://getphysicalmusic.lnk.to/GPM874

Get Physical Music taps Berlin veteran Dave DK for a sleek, string-laced rework of Niconé’s “What Do U Know” — a remix that deepens the groove while keeping the original’s disco flair alive.

Out August 8, 2025, the remix sees Dave DK apply his signature touch: smooth, atmospheric, and effortlessly sophisticated. Known for his refined minimal house and emotive textures, the Kompakt and Pampa alum extends the track’s lush string sections, adds subtle layers of depth, and tightens the rhythm into a more club-focused pulse.

While the original leaned into carefree summer vibes, this version brings a twilight mood — warm enough for sunset, but built to carry you into the night. The vocal snippets stay intact, dancing playfully over hypnotic percussion and sweeping pads, inviting both movement and introspection.

With decades behind the decks and a legacy stretching from Tresor to global dancefloors, Dave DK brings finesse to every remix. His take on “What Do U Know” is no exception: a respectful reinterpretation that bridges nostalgia and modernity, melody and momentum.

Out August 8 on Get Physical Music — “What Do U Know (Dave DK Remix)” is a silky, slow-burning groove tailor-made for late-night sets and deep listening alike.

What Do U Know (Dave DK Remix)

Only A Dance is a stripped-down homage to the floor. Layers of CS70M pads and Oberheim textures merge with dusty MPC grooves, shaped by saturated analog processing.

Floating above the rhythm, a hypnotic jazz vocal drifts in and out, adding depth, tension, and a sense of intimacy. Built for the twilight hours, when language disappears and movement takes over.

Cosmosolar - El Rarito [Espacio Cielo]

We're delighted to welcome back Amount, aka Nayan Soukie, to Darkroom Dubs as he returns with four subterranean throbbers that effervesce with trance-inducing lawlessness.

A Darkroom Dubs favourite who first debuted in 2013 as one-half of house-combo Soukie & Windish. Since then, he's flourished as a renowned producer, DJ, and seasoned live performer, developing a penchant for sleazy burners primed for the darkest of rooms and those hazy, sunrise-lit, after-hours moments.

This latest offering from the Berlin native, entitled Zeroton, is an essential addition to an already impressive back catalogue, with appearances on imprints such as Feines Tier, Running Back, Frank Music and his own URSL label.

Play 'em loud & play 'em proud!

PREMIERE: Kabinett - Media Kids (Original Mix) [Playground Records]

2phonic Recordings returns after a hiatus to present the work of a family member named Masta Soul.
It brings us a succulent track, "Another Dimension," with tense synths intertwined with a powerful beat that touches on the Detroit techno of a few decades ago but without losing that deep, Chicago-inspired flavor.
This time, remixing this project, we have another prominent 2phonic member, Teboho Nkone, who gives us a more abstract version with fat bass lines that will send those pads straight to your nervous system.

Artist: Philipp Stoya
Title: Compost Black Label # 132 - Azra EP
Cat.-No.: CPT 476-1
Format: 12" / Digital
Release: 4. March 2016

Tracklisting:

Side A:
A1 Rula (8:22) 
A2 Ratafka (6:58)

Side B:
B1 Komito (6:49)
B2 Carmonna (7:24)

Philipp Stoya is back on Compost Black with a bunch of fantastic tunes, a hypnotic trip with deep analogue playfulness and elegance.

It's a story of dedication, devotion and a whole lot of craziness.
The debut E.P of Philipp Stoya, who might be recognized from his appearances on some Various Artists – 12“s on Compost Black Label, is a testimonial of love, his love to his wife, whose name is the EP’s title, his love to music in general, giving birth to this record and his love to electric pianos and synths, such as the Fender Rhodes and the Roland Juno 106, which sounds give the tracks on the record an unique flair and atmosphere.

His remix for Madpac’s „Angry Nerds“ is sheer bliss and also part of the „Michael Reinboth Favorites“ on the COMPOST 500 compilation.

Philipp Stoya - Rula

Emorold Anthony Phillip was born on the 7th of July 1941 in a little place called Cherry Hill in Grenada. He came to Trinidad at the age of five, on a Carnival Monday. Philip lived at Long Circular Road, Bel Vue in the capital city of Port of Spain. He attend the Mucurapo Boys RC primary school and later spent one term / semester at a private secondary school before his father died and he was unable to continue paying the tuition.

Phillip would pass through a number of odd jobs before settling on a career as a calypsonian. From a short stint at a Printery on Marine Square, to an electrician, then a mechanic and most telling a tailor, for it is here he was exposed once more to the calypso music his father had weaned him on, the tailors always having their radios on in the background while they worked on their profession. He started his illustrious career in a Calypso tent by the name of the 'Big Bamboo', which was on Park Street in Port of Spain. The Calypso tent was for guys who couldn't get into the big tents The Calypsonians who performed then, were 'Skipper', 'Creator' ,'Lord Inventor', 'Conqueror', and 'Young Creole', some of the top Calypsonians. This was in 1961 and his name then, was not 'Valentino' but 'Robin'.

The Robin would get his new name in December of 1965 when after an audition at Kitchener’s Revue Calypso tent, he announced to the gathering that he had no name, another calypsoninan having appropriated the name Robin earlier that year. Thus it was the great Lord Kitchener who bestowed the name Lord Valentino on Phillip. Later in the 1970’s during the revolutionary days of the Black Power movement, he would change his name to Brother Valentino. It was during this period too that fellow calypso stalwart, five time national monarch, the Black Stalin would give him the title ‘the People’s Calypsonian’.

Though only three times a national monarch finalist (and never winning the coveted crown) he would become the true spokesman for the people , the true opposition, the voice of conscience. His hits over the years include the immortal Life is a stage (1972), Barking Dogs (1974), Dis place Nice (1975), the best selling ‘Stay up Zimbabwe’ (1979), Birds that fly high (1982, Time and Space (1986),) Calypso in Trouble (1992) Time to love again (1996), The Radio (2001) and Where Kaiso went (2004) Valentino, now a veteran among calypso bards, is enjoying his second marriage, this time to former national netball played Peggy Castanada. He continues to be a role model for the new generation of younger singers who see him as the epitome of social consciousness, a direct descendant of the great chantwells of yesteryear – Executor, Atilla, Tiger and the beat goes on & on & on.

Brother Valentino - Stay Up Zimbabwe (Rafael Cancian Re-Edit)

This one features my live band, The County: Quentin Joseph on drums, Topher Mohr on guitar, Quincy McCrary on piano, and Joe Abrams on bass. It was recorded live in a radio station studio somewhere during our Winter 2010 US tour. The tapes recently surfaced, but nobody can remember exactly where we were. The song is originally by The Isley Brothers, and that’s the only version I was familiar with until we started playing it in our live shows and people would come up to us and say “hey, loved your cover of Average White Band!”.
