Smallville 71 - Lb Honne

This is a special one, a family one.

Rosie Ama (Cain), as I’m sure you all already know, is a London-based DJ, radio host, and founder of Human Endeavour Records. She’s been in the fam a while now, operating on the outer fringes of dance music… which is exactly where you want to be if you're trying to avoid mainstream success and financial stability.

Having cut her teeth as a writer and editor for online music platforms Stamp The Wax and this here Ransom Note, Rosie demonstrated such exemplary dedication to underground culture that we eventually had to take disciplinary action against her. The subsequent court settlement led to the founding of Human Endeavour; sometimes the best label launches emerge from legal disputes, rather than business plans.

Officially launching in 2022 (once the legal paperwork was finalised), it serves as a platform for artists operating in the deep, dark and hypnotic corners of electronic music and has welcomed artists like Anastasia Zems, Justine Forever, Nandele, Medicine 8 and Thomass Jackson over the years.

Before doing her own thing, Rosie made up one half of Kiara Scuro alongside friend Nadia, a DJ and production partnership that released music on Fabric Originals, Ritmo Fatale and Faux Poly, as well as long-standing radio residencies on Rinse FM and Balamii Radio. After a decade together, she’s gone solo turning her full attention to the label and her monthly Noods radio show, Melodic Odds, that showcases her love for sleazy low-slung chuggers, leftfield acid house and synth-driven 3am groovers. 

Whilst I’d never tell her this to her face, it’s actually a delight to welcome her back to the fold - this time without the need for lawyers - for a mix that captures her hypnotic, trippy vision of what dance music can be when nobody's watching the figures…

Let’s get going then, shall we…

Legendary figures in the South American underground dance scene, Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret debut together on Clubsonica Records with a twin-tracker of outstanding quality. A single remix from a production duo who have shaped the progressive scene sees D-Nox & Becker complete the package.

Requiring little in the way of introduction, Kamilo Sanclemente has been at the vanguard of South American dance music for over a decade. Responsible for some 1200 production credits stretching back to 2013, the Colombian has seen his work wedded to a suite of high-profile labels that include Darin Epsilon’s Perspectives Digital, Paul Hazendonk’s Manual and Paul Thomas’ UV. Colombian imprint, Clubsonica, has also played no small part in that success with a clutch of remixes and original material, including several with fellow countryman and label head honcho, Juan Pablo Torrez. Andre Moret has also been a staple of the South American progressive fraternity with a glorious selection of releases on Kasey Taylor’s Vapour Recordings, D-Nox’s Sprout and the legendary, Transensations Records. Born in Campinas, the Brazilian’s accomplished piano-playing has stood him in good stead during a celebrated and much-lauded career. As a production pairing, the duo’s work for Balkan Connection, The Purr and Plattenbank, have witnessed a stellar music collection as Kamilo Sanclemente and Andre Moret join together for their Clubsonica debut.

Opener, “Spectre”, is a chunky rhythmic affair with familiar percussive shakers and copious amounts of rich effects littering the stereo spectrum. A thumping bassline progression and counterpoint melodic layers provide intrigue aplenty and arpeggiated urgency. An intelligent breakdown that subtly slows the arpeggiation before building to a rising and dramatic crescendo, the track then drops back into familiar groove-laden territory with delicate leads adding depth, atmosphere and emotion.

Partner track, “Paradox”, brings in Yudi Watanabe, a rising force within Brazil’s progressive and melodic underground. Based in Campinas, Yudi has steadily built a reputation for his emotionally rich sound design and deep, flowing grooves, showcased across a growing catalogue on labels such as Sprout, Plaisirs Sonores, NightColours, and Clubsonica, to name a few, consistently charting for its warm harmonics and evocative atmospheres. “Paradox” hits the ground running with its deliciously emotive running bassline. A syncopated arpeggio captures attention with its melodic vibrancy while ethereal vocal layers add a hands-in-the-air moment. Rising to its zenith, the second half oozes quality with a new complementary lead line that adds real purpose and dancefloor vibrancy.

D-Nox & Beckers have been key figures in the Progressive House and Melodic Techno genres for over 20 years. Gracing the world’s finest clubs and festivals in more than 70 countries and 5 continents, the pair’s production work has shone a bright light on their joint credentials, seeing some 400 credits on such elite imprints as Christian Smith’s Tronic, Dave Seaman’s Selador and John Digweed’s Bedrock Records. Throw in a century of credits on D-Nox’s own #1 ranked Progressive House label and it is not hard to see the appeal generated by the D-Nox & Beckers marque. Another debutant pairing on Clubsonica, their remix of “Spectre” is driven by chest-thumping kick and meticulously crafted bassline groove. Redolent in trademark retro synth sounds, a delightful lead line cleverly mirrors the bass progression while counterpoint phrases add dynamism and club-friendly energy. Cleverly taking the themes inherent in the original, D-Nox & Beckers’ skill is take that sound and extend it into new and intriguing directions, serving to showcase their effervescent and polished sound in a magnificent EP.

Malmö-based producer Martinou returns to his roots with a debut on hometown label Kontra-Musik. Since crafting his first album for Nous’Klaer Records (NL) at Inkonst’s studio, Martinou has steadily built an international presence through acclaimed releases on Mule Musiq (JP) and Turbo Recordings (CA). This three-track EP is the result of a long-running dialogue with label head Ulf Eriksson—blending Detroit-inspired techno, hypnotic depths and broken lush, all produced with subtle precision and emotional weight.
A homecoming of sorts, but also a new departure.

KM061 Martinou - Kontentan PREVIEW

Subharmonic Tension is a sonic journey through the darker, deeper corners of the electronic underground. Blending the hypnotic pulse of deep house with the driving grooves of tech house and the warmth of classic house music, the album creates a textured atmosphere built for late-night spaces and intimate club floors.

Each track balances subtle tension with evolving rhythm, weaving in club-ready energy without losing its refined, melodic core. Deep basslines glide beneath crisp percussion, while atmospheric pads and analogue synths create a sense of space and movement. Throughout the album, vocals add a human touch—ranging from whispered phrases to soulful hooks—enhancing the emotional depth without overshadowing the groove.

Subharmonic Tension captures the duality of modern electronic music: introspective yet energetic, minimalist yet rich, underground yet accessible. Designed for dancers and listeners alike, it’s an immersive experience that pulls you into its low-frequency world and holds you there until the final beat.

Neon Reverie

We asked friends of Stólar: What kind of music lives inside the Alta Chair by Oscar and Anna Maria Niemeyer?

It bends like a line drawn in air.
The Alta Chair carries stainless steel as if it were smoke, held in one continuous gesture.
A quiet curve shaped by Brasília’s flowing rhythm, where architecture softens into furniture and motion settles into form.
