Scala Muziek presents its second vinyl EP, Next Horizon, building on the success of the debut release. After a remarkable year of music and events, this EP embodies the spirit of exploration that defines Scala. Produced by label head Pascal Benjamin, the four tracks blend hypnotic grooves with forward-thinking soundscapes—each crafted to leave a lasting impression.

A1: Personallity opens the EP with minimalist, richly textured rhythms. Its bouncy, infectious groove and subtle shifts in bass and melody create a dynamic flow, making it perfect for both dancefloor energy and introspective moments. Pascal’s attention to detail shines through, balancing personal and expansive sounds. A2: Progress delves deeper into rolling rhythms and uplifting sonic layers, with ethereal synths floating above a driving beat. The track unfolds gradually, building momentum with a continuous, evolving motion. B1: On the flip: Shifting Grounds brings a sense of exploration, with gurgling synths and subtle modulations creating a cerebral yet physical experience. It's an atmospheric, groove-laden track perfect for late-night sessions. B2: Far From Clear closes the EP with a moody, introspective energy. Eerie vocal snippets and sharp minimalism weave together to create a haunting, mysterious atmosphere, rounding off the release with a deep dive into uncharted sonic territory. With Next Horizon, Scala Muziek offers a refined selection that showcases Pascal’s artistic growth and the label’s commitment to immersive, forward-thinking music.

Burnski's high-quality Constant Black is back with more essential club-ready sounds. Donnie Cosmo and Pascal Benjamin step up for one side of action each. Cosmo's 'Holo Glitch' is first and pairs balmy synth work that is colourful and silky with some punchy tech drums and rolling bass that pulls you in deep. 'Echo Drift' is another lithe and lively one to get you on your toes while the groove flows and 'Airplane Mode' is another stylish mix of lush synth design and great rhythm. Benjamin's trio on the flip is a little more gritty with industrial-space-tech many the most fitting way to describe these curious cosmic cuts.

​Romanian duo Livio & Roby supply their standout track ‘Tidal Reshape’ to Vakant’s ‘Tenacity’ compilation.

Showcasing the somewhat minimal, yet driving sound that’s been coming strong out of their native country’s underground scene, Livio & Roby fire off a mesmerizing display of rhythm and sophistication.

Purchase here: https://vakant.bandcamp.com/album/tenacity-2017

Ahead of the compilation’s release, Livio & Roby touched on what inspires them in the studio: “We find influence and inspiration in many forms, sometimes it can be the consequence of a freshly read book, a new movie or classical/jazz concert, new experiences, our friends and family also inspire us in many ways… One time we moved our studio gear to a mountainside in Romania and we started to create. We find sometimes it's necessary to move from your main space to have some fresh air and ideas. That's how we made ‘Tidal Reshape’”.

Composed of ten tracks, the ‘Tenacity’ compilation also features music from Alex Smoke, Sons Of Tiki, Anonym, Tolga Fidan, Nico Purman and Non-Operational People.

The ‘Tenacity’​ compilation is released on April 3.

PLZ006S - BMW - LIKE CHILDREN EP

Romanian artists Livio & Roby are one of the most consistent DJ duos in minimal. As two-thirds of live act Premiesku, they are they are known as 'proper heads', who masterfully work tribal, twisted house music out of hardware for a living.

Thanks to the consistently high quality of their output, Livio & Roby have been in constant demand around the globe, sharing the spirit of Romania with the clientele of clubs and festivals across North and South America, Europe and further afield. Their endless travels continue, as does their endless work in the studio.

The Romanian duos latest EP is another 9-minute masterclass. Released on KUSI Records, Livio & Roby deliver two high-quality cuts. A-side 'Ta Katana' meanders and weaves into life. Dreamy soundscapes combine with hazy synths, making it perfect for the early morning after-hours. B-side 'Roslis' has much more of a main-room club feel to it, bubbly synths combine with a naughty grinding bassline.

After a much-needed break, we're back with an EP from one of the most under-appreciated producers in the scene! Hailing from Spain and currently residing in Barcelona, Dactilar has released a wealth of productions that really get the dance floor going; including a remix he did for us last year.

This EP really shows off the talents of multi-faceted Spanish producer. Filled with warm, lush and balanced sounds, with sparkly melodies and deep basslines, it will surely conquer even the most discriminating listener! A remix by fellow Barcelonian Pablo Bolivar takes an interesting, head-bobbing twist, while the Russian duo Gorje Hewek & Izhevski churn out a fairy-tale like atmosphere-laden tune, showing off the magic that has earned them huge support by everyone from Luciano to Guy J, Oxia and Gorge!

Embarking on a new direction, this is the first in a series of releases that explore the subtler side of dance music. Not content with run of the mill material that seems to be all the rage these days, we seek out the rare and the magical, resulting in our sporadic release schedule. Look for more genre-defying music from us later in the year!

Tracklisting:

01. Dactilar - Day One (Original Mix)
02. Dactilar - Aerophohic (Original Mix)
03. Dactilar - Digitial Cortex (Original Mix)
04. Dactilar - Digital Cortex (Pablo Bolivar Recut)
05. Dactilar - Aerophonic (Gorje Hewek & Izhevski Remix)

Dactilar - Aerophonic (Gorje Hewek & Izhevski Remix)

Multi-faceted Canadian artist James Teej drops his second LP, ‘Eight Bit Ocean’, late-April on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth imprint.

Releasing his first James Teej singles in 2008, Teej has since become a firm fixture on the electronic music circuit with releases for We Play House, Rebirth, Supernature and No.19 Music as well as a debut LP on Radio Slave’s Rekids in 2010 entitled ‘Evening Harvest’. Since then, Teej has joined old friends Jared Simms and Voytek Korab to become one third of My Favorite Robot, an act which is steadily becoming another of Toronto’s break-outs via tracks and remixes for Visionquest and Crosstown Rebels as well as their own highly regarded My Favorite Robot Records.

Vocalist, producer, DJ, live act, A&R and collaborator - Teej is a genuine electronic music polymath and, as such, his material is imbued with a real sense of craftsmanship where every detail has its true place and meaning. It’s this meticulous DIY attitude to every aspect of his art that bleeds through ‘Eight Bit Ocean’ – nine tracks which see Teej focused on delivering a wide range of moods, tones and textures that while all centered around dancefloor rhythms, deliver much more than ‘tracky’ club tunes.

From the brooding opener, ‘A Civil Duty’, dense shifting melodies are one of the reoccurring themes of ‘Eight Bit Ocean’. Never intent on staying with one mood within one track or throughout the whole LP, Teej lets tones fall and rise throughout with melancholic aspects giving way to rousing keys (‘The Last Request’) and fluttering leads offsetting ponderous basslines (‘Liking Your Disorder’).

Sometimes it’s what is left out that really hits home on ‘Eight Bit Ocean’ – tracks like ‘Right At Home’ and ‘Stand’ use just enough vocals to humanise them without taking away the instrumental punch while the arp-driven, robust electro of ‘Reunion’ employs only as much kick as it needs. This less is more attitude is only applied to arrangements and sound choices as musically Teej runs riot, walking the line between old and new perfectly by imbibing each track with genuine subtle, emotive transitions and contrasts.

Like many classic house albums, ‘Eight Bit Ocean’ is the sound of an artist, a handful of synths, drum machines and a mic exploring musical possibilities and, as a result, makes for an enthralling listen as well as a hefty cache of dancefloor material. Timeless sounding stuff…
