Info:
A warm welcome to Sonson, who’s delivering the goods with the fantastic “My Blues EP”. 
The original took our hearts by storm with its silky-smooth live piano, effortlessly floating over a constantly driving, simple yet effective and uplifting groove work. So we immediately made plans for a full release with the talented Munich DJ and producer with whom we have been friends for years. It didn’t take long until Michael, Sonson’s real name, came up with the great idea of asking his old pal and French house don Franck Roger to remix the tune - an artist all of us deeply admire for his unique body of work and ongoing contribution to our scene (Real Tone, Earthrumental, countless nights at Paris’ Djoon club you name it). Luckily he’s been digging the tune and made two utterly great versions by adding his magic - the uplifting Earthrumental Mix that sticks with the piano and a Dubthrumental that fully lives up to its name. The package is rounded off by Sonson’s “My Dub” and “My Beat” versions and whereas the dub is a bit more stripped back, dropping off the piano while adding some trippy synth textures, the beat is just a perfect tool for the working DJ. Voila!
Sonson is the latest project by Michael Heumann, an experienced DJ and producer from Munich. Born and raised in the city that serves as both his home and source of inspiration, he began his DJ career in the 2000s with sets initially heavily influenced by US house music. Over time, he explored various genres within electronic music, developing his own distinctive style that consistently takes his audience on a musical journey. 

In addition to numerous performances in national and international clubs, Michael has been a resident DJ at the legendary Munich club Pimpernel since 2017, and has also been responsible for DJ bookings there since 2024. He places a strong emphasis on collaborating with local DJs and producers to enrich the Munich scene and present fresh, exciting line-ups. 

As a producer, Sonson has already celebrated several successes: his tracks have been released on labels such as Diynamic, Aprapta and Barré Music and in early 2025, an EP will be released on the renowned Munich label Compost Records. Sonson is also known for his edits of artists like Depeche Mode, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Everything But the Girl, which have since become staples in the sets of DJ icons like Solomun, Dixon and Trikk.

Sascha Funke is creating a long overdue monument to an almost forgotten cultural artefact of the GDR: the ‘Germina Speeder’ was the only skateboard made in East Germany before reunification and was launched in 1986. It was produced by VEB Schokoladen-Verarbeitungsmaschinen (a state-owned chocolate processing machine factory) in Wernigerode and was therefore affectionately known as the ‘chocolate board’. However, it was hardly suitable for actual skateboarding due to technical inadequacies. It is not known whether Sascha himself owned such a board, but the tracks on the ‘Germina Speeder’ EP definitely roll better than the original. The opener ‘Blaupunkt’ breathes the euphoric spirit of the legendary Berlin club ‘E-Werk’, while the title track would have been more at home at the ‘Dubmission’ parties in the Turbine. Sascha leaves the 90s behind with radiant positivism; ‘Bo Knows’ sounds more like a 2000s open air at Café Schönbrunn. The EP closes with ‘Mastermind’, a high-octane psy-proghouse banger that, like all four tracks, quotes the past but still has both feet on today’s dance floors. Or rather, is dancing. 4:1 for love!

Zurich-born, New York-based DJ Tony y Not is best known for her free-spirited sets, seamlessly weaving together techy acid, progressive, dark disco, and heart-opening indie. She brings that signature energy to her Kompakt debut with striking precision. Have You Lost Your Mind channels a touch of Swan Lake-era Todd Terry – one of NYC house’s legendary figures – delivering a razor-sharp acid line, a rock-solid groove, and one of the most flawlessly executed breakdown/drop combos in recent memory. Deep Don’t Stop follows suit, skillfully reviving the essence of ’90s New York club culture in a way that would have set Junior Vasquez’s Sound Factory ablaze. True to her mission, Tony y Not continues to spread joy and uplift others, both on and off the dance floor.

TEE MANGO’s first release on Kompakt has been a long time coming. Ever since Michael Mayer heard his sunkissed remix of The Invisible’s ‘K Town Sunset’ back in 2017, he’s been obsessed with his music. The two tracks here, ‘Moonshots’ and ‘My Mind Is Making Up Monsters’, are prime examples of TEE’s ability to create heartfelt, uplifting modern house music. There’s a sense of bacchanal liberation, a potent transcendental element that opens the mind to joyful bliss.

Les presento "Storm", mi nuevo track que sale por Mango Alley! Lo creé todo desde la tormenta misma. En un momento donde mi mundo exterior era un verdadero caos, pude canalizar toda esa energía en esta pieza seria y pistera. Para mí, este tema es un viaje profundo, una tormenta interna que se desata en el sonido y te envuelve por completo, buscando una inmersión total que te atraviese y te lleve por distintas emociones. Espero que lo disfruten tanto como yo al hacerlo.

Este lanzamiento incluye además un increíble remix de un gran artista, Joaquín Salmain, que aporta una visión fresca y potente a "Storm". Espero que disfruten ambos tracks tanto como yo al hacerlos.

With great excitement, I'm thrilled to present "Storm," my new track coming out on Mango Alley! I created everything for this track from the storm itself. During a time when my external world was absolute chaos, I managed to channel all that energy into this serious yet driving club track. For me, this piece is a deep journey, an internal storm that unleashes itself in sound and completely envelops you, designed for total immersion that cuts through you and carries you through different emotions. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

This release also features an incredible remix by talented artist, Joaquín Salmain, bringing a fresh and powerful vision to "Storm." I hope you enjoy both tracks as much as I enjoyed making them.

Thanks for listening

Reaching the halfway point of Riythmica Travels 2025 with Track 8 is “Mordant” by @djleandrosilva

With a career spanning over two decades, Leandro Silva has become a key figure in the global electronic scene, known for his magnetic sets and deep musical roots in African and Latin sounds. From his early days in Luanda to stages across Europe and beyond, his style blends tradition with forward-thinking energy.

“Mordant” is a deep, abstract journey, where organic textures meet techy tension. Subtle, hypnotic, and full of character, it’s a slow-burning track that invites you to lean in, get lost, and let go.
