XAKK is back with its first collaborative release of the year, courtesy of Swedish producers Bjorn Fogelberg and John Keding. Both artists have been active in the progressive house and electronic music scenes for decades, with recent solo and joint releases on labels such as Dissident, RKP, ICONYC, Freegrant, Krafted, Hexagonal, and more.

Their new EP, Stellar, delivers three versions of the title track, each offering a slightly different take on the deeper side of progressive house.

The Original Mix features a steady, driving groove, rumbling low-end, and spacious pads. Airy stabs and restrained melodic elements help create a hypnotic atmosphere throughout the track.

The Sunset Remix moves into darker territory, adding more weight with deeper pads, dissonant stabs, and menacing yet warm synth swells.

Finally, the Sunrise Remix brings more energy and melodic variation while maintaining the depth and drive of both the original and the Sunset mix.

All tracks mastered by Cid Inc.

Keding vs Fogelberg - Stellar (Original Mix)

I sink comfortably into the couch, eagerly turning on my favorite music playlist. The delicate, undulating sounds instantly fill the room, enveloping me in a soothing, almost hypnotic atmosphere. I close my eyes, allowing the music to guide my thoughts to a different realm.

I gradually relax, breathing in time with the calm, pulsing beats. I feel the tension leaving my body as my mind clears of everyday worries. This time of solitude and contemplation is an oasis of calm, letting me escape the hustle and bustle. I fully surrender to the mood of the music, losing myself in its soothing waves.

Unwind Your Mind August 2025

Dutch veteran producer Namatjira marks a strong return to the 90watts label with a compelling double A-side release featuring 'Cala Conta' and 'Yalanchi'.

Following closely on the heels of his well-received remix of Mike Kohl's 'Home', this release continues to showcase his evolving sound. A fixture in the progressive house scene for nearly two decades, Namatjira has recently embraced a more organic house approach, blending earthy textures with his signature floating melodies and progressive grooves. Cala Conta and Yalanchi capture this renewed direction; elegant, deep, and effortlessly immersive.
