'Eklektisch’s 60th release features one of the most promising talents in the scene at the moment: Mozaik (FR).

This EP announces the beginning of a new imprint, more melodic techno orientated than their previous tracks. “We allow ourselves to be guided by our emotions and inspirations without limiting ourselves. As all our tracks, this EP tells a story and we tried more than ever to have the perfect balance between introspective, dreamlike emotions side and strong, punchy, club side”.

There is a real signature sound in this EP by the usage of airy synths/pads around  big synth lead/arp for each track. For the percussions, Mathieu and Alexandre Verrier add some field rec and foley sounds which give the originality to the drums. Finally, powerful breakdowns with broken beats in each track; “the breakdown is really important for us, this is where all the beauty of the track appears."

Isolate’s owner Alican delivers a groovy and more melodic version for the finest ears.'

'Madman is the new musical travel by the young duo Depart, from Istanbul. This track has been made during a night walk along the beach of Izmir in Turkey, a walk toward balance and inner readjustment. At that time the singer of the duo had reached a point where he was feeling stuck in his life to the extent of madness: « scraping his scars just to feel alive ».

The best remedy to this situation was to put it into words. He, thus, decided to impersonate his own role in the song and call himself a Madman as a representation of all the frustration and weight he was carrying away on his shoulders.

This record is for everyone feeling stranded in their life, it’s about accepting vulnerability instead of stiffness, it’s about embracing your inner self, in the ups as in the lows, instead of fighting it. This record means a lot to the duo as it helped them going through that rough time, they hope this will now help many more people who are facing the same obstacles in their reality.

The EP comes with a hypnotic and high percussive reinterpretation from dOP, a mesmerizing down tempo remix from Moon’s Voyager and a stellar deep house remix from the Birds of Mind.

A beautiful and long awaited journey from MINDGAME Records.'

'Italy's Nihil Young returns to Poesie Musik to stir tensions and set up trip wires around every corner, with a deep melodic and tech house double set to stretch his international reputation and multi-million streaming numbers further and wider.  'Truth Tribe' hires the charismatic, enigmatic vocal of Beacon Bloom to think of Dirty Vegas' 

'Days Goes By'; watching the dancefloor unfold, Young creates an enhanced drama to get caught up in, moodiness and at times ghostliness illuminated by a smooth network of synth codes.  

'Wormwood' maintains the pressure of tech house working undercover, staying melodic with synth sequences skimming across Young's state of anticipation. Subtle vocal hallucinations brush the surface, dented by bass patterns in no mood for games. 

"Poesie Musik is a label I've loved for so many years, so I'm extremely happy to be back as well as working with Beacon Bloom", says Young.

'Fiona Kraft offers up her most sincere sounds to date with the Deeper Feelings EP on connected featuring remixes from MAGA and Manoo.

Fiona Kraft has spent much time condensing the different elements and ideas in her head together in the perfect sound. She says this new EP is the best representation yet of who she is and what she feels. It comes after years of developing her distinctive sounds and playing everywhere from Hi Ibiza to Watergate in Berlin, mixing up rhythmic and progressive sounds with euphoric breaks.

The gorgeous 'Deeper Feelings' has dancing Afro drums overlaid with nimble piano chords. The pressure builds and the groove is in constant evolution as the jazzy keys hypnotize and the spiritual pads bring the warmth. It is a majestic and epic track that oozes future soul.

Legendary Lyon producer Manoo adds two remixes. The first is a smooth and quietly intense rework with aching vocals swirling out of the mix to take you higher. The second is a deeper dub with a darker heart as the kesy speak to a broken heart.

Last of all, Nice-born Scenarios and Flying Circus associate MAGA brings his melodic, organic and minimalistic patterns to a sublime remix. It's seven steamy minutes of piano-laced deep house joy with rolling drums that are peppered with percussion and hypnotic wooden hits.

This is a deeply moving package of afro / organic house music from connected and Fiona Kraft.'

'Valexx is back with an Afro house release on My Other Side of The Moon which features an unparalleled voice you can’t fail to recognize: Tabia. Top South African artist, Tabia gives the character of the track, with an intense vocal which stands out over the convincing synth and the powerful bass.

The package includes three remixes, by Aaron Sevilla, Moish & Vasilis, and Da Africa Deep, all first class afro house producers.

Aaron Sevilla starts with a different rhythm, a softer piano and a dynamic bass. As the piano chords evolve, the drums also introduce new elements, and the enchanting voice leads to the end with increased energy. This is a nice one for the dance floor!

Moish & Vasilis push strongly on the rhythm and the drums as well. This is yet another interpretation of the hypnotizing synths and melodies the track intrinsically offers. In a crescendo of intensity the instruments and melodies layer upon each other and end in an explosion of energy.

Last but not least, Da Africa Deep offers yet another energetic version, with forceful drums and a bass that creates new jazzy vibes. Thumbs up to Valexx and Tabia for an excellent afro house piece ready to be played in all these different sauces!'

Jittering layers of bass, intricately intertwined endless loops of harmony, monumental drum rolls and drops that sent compelling power strikes across the dancefloor as if some kind of sonic lightning strikes. 

Add-us do their thing - that thing that made the duo from Stuttgart a sure-fire success: Melodic Techno of the highest order. The trancy synthesisers of 'Escape' provide exactly what this title stands for, namely an instant escape from the grey gravity of everyday life. The twilight atmosphere of this tune clearly aims at the most active hours of a party. So does 'Hurricane', yet another aptly named track. Or, rather: An aptly named sound vortex.

Danny Bonnici and Luke Chable are very familiar with each other's studios. In 2003, they collaborated to produce the ebullient classic ‘Ride,’ arguably the standout release in underground dance that year. Almost a decade passed before they rekindled their partnership, resulting in ‘Colours,’ a delightful 2010 release that wears its whimsical heart on its charming sleeve. Fast forward to 2024, and Balance is proud to re-release this gem with a fresh round of remixes, featuring Dutch star Alex O’Rion and a breakbeat re-rub by Danny Bonnici.

If ‘Ride’ epitomized care-free mid-00’s prog, ‘Colours’ is imbued with the spirit of 2010. It’s a radiant drive atop a sunlit melody and kaleidoscopic tones that will embed itself deep into your psyche. Drawing inspiration from the more vogue-ish releases of that year, the brilliance of ’Colours’ lies in its light-hearted clarity: a stonking drum section and a melodic motif that lingers in you like a pleasant memory. Today, ‘Colours’ feels as nostalgic as it's vital; a love letter to a time we never knew would pass us by, or at worst, an invocation of a pre-Covid era that seems a million miles away.

Danny Bonnici revisits his breakbeat roots with a delightful re-rub, paying homage to an era when progressive breaks reigned king. Skittering snares and shuffling hats play off each other; the percussion contrasting sharply against the consistently moving bellow of the Hoover-like bass. Keeping the original melody front centre, it eventually explodes post-breakdown into a dizzying arpeggiated variation. If you want to know why Danny Bonnici is considered a breakbeat don, look no further.

Dutchman Alex O’Rion extends his streak of platinum productions with a refined update. By using warmer tones to soften the edges, the energy is burnished with more tranquil textures. The melody is framed by warm risers and smart fx that engage in playful interaction, whilst a casual bass line dances in complete flow with the melody. All the parts add up to a joyous progressive union - a beautiful organic dance that never feels contrived.

The second original ‘No Te He Podido Olvidar’ is built around a playful and active lead. Later accompanied by Martín his self-recorded vocals, which come out really well during the break and merge seamlessly into to full composition at the final part of the track.

The latest release from Ruben Karapetyan’s RKP welcomes Matt Oliver to the label for his debut EP. On the strength of early tracks such as 2021’s ‘Spirit’ and ‘Missing’, the Brazilian artist quickly caught the interest of progressive music fans. Having success marrying the nostalgic grooves of the genre with emotional melodies and club-effective rhythms, Matt became a newcomer to watch. The next two calendar years would see Matt continue to perfect his craft, and in turn land standout projects via long-standing imprints such as BCSA, Mango Alley, The Purr and Transensations. Now, as one Brazil’s top progressive house prospects, Matt adds RKP to his resume with ‘Collison’, alongside remixes from The Wash and Anton MAKe.

The first interpretation of ‘Collision’ is provided by The Wash who makes his label debut. As a DJ first, Austrian artist The Wash has spent nearly two decades in the electronic music underground. A ten-year stretch as a DJ would find the Vienna resident programming music for some of his country’s trendiest venues, before eventually embarking on a career as a producer in 2016. The next seven years would see The Wash build an enviable portfolio, highlighted by releases via Forensic , UV and Mango Alley, the latter of which operates as his primary home. With a contribution to Global Underground’s ‘Select’ series to begin the year, The Wash now adds RKP to his resume with a huge interpretation of ‘Collision’. Opting for a dubbier, more groove-centric approach, The Wash aims squarely at the dancefloor, taking the track into subversive territory, as haunting overlays and deconstructed sonics converge for an otherworldly experience, while an acid-tinged break fully saturates your senses onwards to a trippy finale.

Building at the half-way stage with a wonderful bassline pattern, a light and airy melody then fills the sonic spectrum into a gloriously evocative breakdown of echoing keys and spatial effects, before dropping back into the smooth rolling groove of toms, hats and driving beat.

'The Dutch upcoming artist Colyn (@colynmusic) is the one who puts a stamp on the third EP of Infinite Depth. With two spacey and great mixed originals he laid more than a good foundation for the remixers. The title track ‘Passengers’ got remixed by the French brothers Esoteric Circle (@esotericircle) and the second original ‘Orbital Hypnosis’ got infused by the one and only Erly Tepshi (@erlyofficial).  

With the first track ‘Passengers’ the EP immediately starts off pretty determined. Soon the firm kick gets accompanied by a some pounding drums and well placed spacey synths, sounding like passengers finding their way through our universe chased by those thrilling drum sounds. 

Esoteric Circle managed to take the thrilling part of the original to a higher level with their remix. The spacey synths are making place for an appealing melody which increases the tension. This tension holds on till the very end of the track.

After being in a continuous state of space and tenseness the third track ‘Orbital Hypnosis’ adds some euphory. With its compelling break and hypnotical plucks it keeps you in a higher state of mind.  

Erly Tepshi’s remix takes you even a little bit higher by using this compelling melody as main flow through his remix. Only this flow makes some unexpected changes at the points Erly injected his typical, sometimes even distorted, plucked synths. With a heavy a breakdown almost at the end of the track this remix brings the EP to an end.'

'One year after their first release on Family Piknik Music ('The Ancient One’), French duo ABSTRAAL is back with a massive dancefloor weapon. 'Broken Smiles’ is a team work with famous german pair TEENAGE MUTANTS (Stil vor Talent, Terminal M...) and French songwriter / singer JIM (known for his vocal collaborations with LKF Project released on Bog & Agoria’s labels).

Abstraal has grown a lot these past months through many collaborations, releases and remixes. Building a solid profile, the boys have caught the attention of many playlist diggers, labels and A-list DJs. Hot from their recent remix for Outcome and their strong collaboration with Pontias on Jannowitz Records, Abstraal is now ready to deliver his strongest release to date.

Broken Smiles’s original version is a modern crossover Dance anthem with a minimal approach, sparkling synths and a dark atmosphere turning into an epic odyssey after the break. Vocals are perfectly dived into this moody instrumental, while trancy synths progressively add a bit of tension. Teenage Mutants own rework offer a totally different energy, somewhere between Detroit Techno and Chicago House, with an addictive old-school organ hook as key element. 5 stars remix is delivered by French techno master Popof. Form music label boss and experimented producer-remixer (from Hot Chip & Chemical Brothers to Umek, Julian Jeweil, Robert Babicz and many others) showcases his best Acid influences with a driving techno treatment and a mind-blowing atmosphere during the break. Tension is absolutely mad and these synth notes will have many ravers losing their mind for sure. Here’s an other monster remix from this living legend ! Justin Cholewski is also part of this massive release. After his brillant remix for Patrick Topping & Kevin Saunderson (Armada), Lithuanian producer drops a fat kick before playing with dramatic synths and developing a wild and rolling acid-techno monster.

The EP ends with an alternative version produced by JIM himself. French singer offers an alternative indie- dance rework he has produced as part of Wet Sunset, one of his latest musical projects. Very different from the other remixes, this version takes us on a musical road-trip, full of surprises. An oriental flute answers to some raw synths and post-disco drums, balancing with the vocal elements from the original cut.'

Having recently returned to the label to remix label founders Booka Shade and Eli & Fur’s ‘To The Sea’, and following on from her stand out releases on the label in 2019 which gained support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Above & Beyond and more, mid-July welcomes the arrival of her latest EP ‘Rolling’, featuring close friend and regular collaborator Diana Miro.

Title cut ‘Rolling’ opens the package and introduces scintillating leads atop of blossoming bass patterns and refined percussion shots, whilst ‘Berlin’, named following 8Kays’ appearance at the Blaufield label night in the city, welcomes darker, more menacing approach which is soon contrasted by escalating synths and bright tones. To close, ‘Waiting In The Dark’ combines warped electronics, resonant keys and sweeping strings throughout, whilst Diana Miro’s emotive and hypnotic vocals add take the production to new heights.'
