An intoxicating sound full of pulsating rhythms and enchanting melodies lands at the doors of Ben Jones 'Parallel Circuit' label, as DJ and producer extraordinaire t.na sees in the latest chapter in his upwardly mobile musical journey…

t.na, has been working his magic within the dance music scene for over 20 years. Originally from Manchester but now based in London, his stellar career began behind the decks, where his ability to join the dots between House, techno, electro, minimal, and breaks saw him play in some of the world’s most celebrated dancefloors. His curiosity with music production eventually developed into the founding of Pickled Music, along with affiliated labels Into the Woods, Afterwoods, Occult Vision, and Taste the Rainbow Records, which have all put out some top-quality dance records in the past few years. The curiosity wouldn’t end there, as t.na ventured into music production himself. Heavily inspired by the early 2000s tech house sound, t.na’s sound is one of sublime, progressive rhythms; thought provoking and considered melodies; and an overall atmosphere of joyous momentum, perfectly blending minimalist sensibilities with multi-faceted, layered features - all of which provide his music with lasting intrigue and with a profound sense of depth and meaning.

The ‘Ivan’ EP is yet another step onward, and as an experience, it is tailored perfectly for late-night dancefloor excursions and early sunrises. As soon as the title track begins, the anticipation goes sky high, with a rock solid beat interspersed with a bass note that bellows from the deep. Cosmic, technological sound effects add a certain complexion and feel up top, with a sprinkling of melodic features placed atop the mix with grace and feeling. The earworm of a mid-range key line is the winner here, perfectly finding its way into the heart of the track and propelling things forward. ‘Reeves’ comes next, and this number follows a similar trajectory to the opener. A pulsating beat provides the foundation for a hypnotic bass line to weave in between the grooves, as airy pads shift in the background. This number is all about the little things, with the softest of changes opening up the most exciting of new horizons.

PREMIERE : t.na - Cezza

Mumbai-based musician, DJ and producer NATE08 returns with his sophomore album ‘Twenty Seven’ - a luminous fusion of R&B, deep house, and funk-leaning grooves, pressed to a single 140g LP in black vinyl. 
Three years on from his acclaimed debut Furaha, NATE08 expands his sonic palette with a radiant collection of tracks that balance soul-soaked vocals, late-night basslines, and warm, sun-drenched production. 

NATE08, aka Nathan Thomas, has become a central figure in Mumbai’s thriving underground, working as a session bass player, live performer, and genre-spanning DJ, while making an international impact through releases on label Needwant. ‘Twenty Seven’ captures his full range: Organic, synthetic, smooth yet floor-ready, always driven by heartfelt groove. 
From the dreamy opener ‘You’re The Reason’ featuring Mary Ann Alexander’s velvety tones, to the nostalgic glow of lead single ‘Where Are You Tonight’ (feat. Dishaan & Mallika), the album unfolds like a love letter to house music’s emotional core. Highlights include the syrupy R&B/house hybrid ‘Afterlife’ (feat. Dappest) and the golden-hour deep house shimmer of ‘Call Me Back’ (feat. Sahirah). 'Waiting' (feat. Benni Ola) slows the pace and smoulders with whispered lyrics over languid stretched-out bass lines, and closing track ‘Stay’ wraps it all up with soft-focus chords and a bumpy, irresistible groove.‘Twenty Seven’ is a sophisticated and inviting journey across mood, tempo, and texture, showcasing NATE08’s gift for weaving melody, rhythm, and soul into music that speaks equally to the dance floor and to the heart.

PREMIERE : Nate08 - Waiting (Feat. Benni Ola)

Peruvian artist Alejandro Cuestas returns to his Cavilar imprint with a standout four-tracker, delivering a run of fiery, techno-leaning jams that carry both character and clarity. Cavilar has long operated in its own space, favouring deep, trippy, machine-minded club tools with strong South American fingerprints, and 'Noches de Olivar' continues that trajectory with confidence.

Premiere: 3 - Alejandro Cuestas - Noches de Olivar [CVL046]

A trio of hypnotic, shapeshifting grooves from Thomass Jackson that blur the lines between party and paranormal. Unpredictable yet always danceable.

Transcend into orbit with Uritorco Times. (Probably) an ode to Argentina’s most mystical peak, UFO synthesisers flash and bleep around a wonky bassline. The result is equal parts mystic ritual and late night mischief.

Sly yet crunchy Push Comes To Shove rides a killer bassline over off kilter percussion. Sleazy mechanical funk that teeters, entranced between tension and release.

Sonic Witchcraft ensues in Junk Be Gone as the shadowy yet playful bassline twists like smoke around the acid melody summoning rhythm from strangeness.

Junk Be Gone gets the Felix Dickinson treatment for the EP’s remix delivering an extra long rework that stays respectfully true to the original in all the right ways. Live acid bass envelops the original bassline whilst ever intensifying synth solos build to an epic crescendo.

PREMIERE : Sestrica - Ananda (Not Even Noticed Remix)

The closing set of Ondersteboven (my own event) at Der Hintergarten (my home for the past year) last weekend.

An emotional moment, since Der Hintergarten only has one weekend left before she needs to go. A sudden plottwist after an indescribable year full of warmth, love and memories. Unintentionally, Ondersteboven became a moment to start saying goodbye.

Zac Stanton - You Might Like It EP [DAYP:006]

Manchester's Do As You Please label continue their forward momentum with Zac Stanton's 'You Might Like It' EP, dropping December 5th. The three-track release sees Stanton exploring the tension between UK rave’s signature pull and house music's euphoric release - finding something fresh and gritty in the space between.

'Still Havin'', 'Touch Me', and the title track each take their own route, touching on classic UK bleep, jungle and acid influence. Stanton's production is precise without being clinical and playful without losing impact. These are tracks built for function but with enough personality to stick around after the night ends.

A familiar face in the DAYP family, Stanton has been part of the brand’s growth since its early days, consistently bringing both technical skill and genuine understanding of what actually works. His sets across Manchester have earned respect not through hype, but through delivery.

"Zac's been putting in the work for years," says Niall Roche, label head. "This EP captures where he's at right now – confident, refined, and making exactly the music he wants to make. That's what we're here for."

The 'You Might Like It' EP continues Do As You Please's trajectory of supporting artists who have something to say beyond the obvious. Seven years in, the label remains focused on the essentials: good music, real community, and letting the work speak for itself.

PREMIERE : Zac Stanton - Still Havin' (Original Mix)

Masters of the spectral side of house and techno - Darkroom Dubs have garnered their loyal following through releases from the likes of Dubspeeka, Pedro Aguiar and Extrawelt. Now, in the follow up to the label bosses "Help Will Come" EP comes the next instalment from a new addition to the roster, the Spanish talent Scan Mode who lines up his "Panama Jaxx" EP.

A member of the Madrid Red Bull Music Academy in 2015 and with previous releases on Cadenza Lab, Esperanza and Surface (H-Foundation's Halo Varga Label) - Scan Mode has had a career in music spanning back to 1998. A writer for DJ Mag and a regular contributor to the Cadenza podcast series - Scan Mode specialises in a Detroit and Chicago inspired meld of progressive melodicism, aquatic synthesis and technical drum work that lends him perfectly to a record with Darkroom Dubs.

His latest offering kicks off with 1.1. Gently swung hats are sat aloft a plunging synth bed. An urgent stutter darts in and is contrasted against soft, allaying pads and propulsive resonance control before 1.2 drives frazzled drums through glacial tones and shimmering synth melodies. 1.3 then navigates a tough, persistent bass sequence under granular drums and a wall of interweaving melodies while deft sequencing has synth lines churning throughout as the pressure is kept high until the finale.

Next up on Darkroom Dubs are some eagerly anticipated releases from Id!r, Skinnerbox and Mariano Mellino. Also we can expect the work of Scan Mode to be included on the long-awaited fourth instalment of the Darkroom Dubs compilation series which is due for release at the turn of the new year.
