Ilario Alicante’s label presents a ten-track compilation with familiar names and debutants.

Since its launch in 2024, Ilario Alicante’s Sound D’Elite has fast earned recognition as a hub for both established and rising voices in the underground scene. As part of Sound D’Elite’s mission to celebrate global dance music culture, the label now unveils its first Various Artists compilation, ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’ — the inaugural chapter of a brand-new VA series, timed to coincide with Sonar 2025 festival.
Bringing together a selection of trusted contributors and fresh arrivals, the ten-track compilation captures the essence of Sound D’Elite’s forward-thinking approach, with London’s Antss kicks things oﬀ with ‘Can’t Right Now’, delivering a relentless groove packed with energy and bounce. Spanish duo The BeatBoy’s take a darker turn on ‘Closer’, blending moody atmospheres and rolling percussion. Italy’s White Oﬀ brings a rumbling low-end pressure on ‘All Ma Ladies’,
primed for late-night floors.
Making his debut appearance on Sound D’Elite, Justin Rabin experiments with glitchy textures and playful vocal chops in ‘Handle This’, while returning favourites BizZa, GruuvElement’s, and Artslaves, deliver their trademark punch and precision. Vanny Granata, and Piero Acinapura, bring their own distinct flavours, ranging from crisp, techy rhythms to stripped-back funk. Closing out the compilation, Antonello Camboni and Stefano Crabuzza join forces on ‘About Music’, merging their individual styles into a deeply grooving dancefloor tool.
With ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’, the label sets the tone for what promises to be a forward-thinking series—one that captures the energy of the scene’s landmark events while continuing to champion innovative artists from across the globe

Fleur Shore delivers the next record on her newly formed label UNDERGROWTH as part of a myriad of new music from the UK based DJ and producer. 

‘Move Those Feet’ marks Fleur Shore’s third release on UNDERGROWTH in quick succession. Following on from the first two releases ‘Higher’ and 'Bless The House' feat Émilie Rachel each track showcases its own distinctive qualities. ‘Move Those Feet’ leans into a grittier, more playful tech house vibe—rough around the edges but unpretentious and full of care-free energy. 

UNDERGROWTH is a record label, a party series, and more importantly, a community of art lovers who want to break free from mundanity and embrace the unknown. No rules, no expectations, and no concessions to the market. 

The mantra is simple: we are connected, we are one, we are undergrowth. UNDERGROWTH is a safe space where artists - new, legendary, forgotten or under the radar - can express themselves however they want.

Hottrax continues to spotlight tomorrow’s talent with the arrival of Manchester-based duo MINDLESS., who make their label debut with the bold and club-focused ‘Turn It Up’ EP. Formed by Harry Carvell and Kieran Dearden, MINDLESS. is a new name emerging from the UK’s house landscape. Having only launched the project earlier this year, the pair have quickly found traction, catching the attention of tastemakers and DJs alike. Now, just months after their first release, they step onto Jamie Jones’ influential imprint, joining a catalogue renowned for championing fresh artists and future sounds. 

“Honestly, we can’t believe that in the space of six months we have gone from making our first track together for fun after work, to getting a Hottrax EP - a label that was only considered a dream to release on back in February. We thought it might be a joke because we really didn't expect this so soon! It is an honour to release on the same label as household names within the scene who inspired us to begin this journey originally. Jamie, being a key driver to our love for music, makes this release so special to us. Anyone who knows us, recognises the importance of Jamie's event Paradise as a huge inspiration to steer our passion for music. We are so proud to share with you our ‘Turn It Up’ EP on Hottrax and hope you connect with it the same way we do” - MINDLESS. 

The title track ‘Turn It Up’ kicks things off with crisp drums, snaking bass, and a tight, looping groove that keeps momentum at its core. Meanwhile, ‘Taste It’ turns the energy up a notch, blending darker textures with subtle low-end pressure. It’s a confident label debut, signalling an exciting start for the Manchester pair as they join a growing wave of new artists pushing things forward. 

MINDLESS. ‘Turn It Up’ drops via Hottrax on 22nd August 2025.

João Guilherme is the mind behind JAOA, an alter ego who gives him space to express unique feelings through psychedelic electronic music. Travelling between genres like minimal/deep tech/techno/breakbeat, JAOA can bend your mind with hypnotic atmospheres, super groovy drums, rumbling basslines and lots of crazy effects that will make you euphoric on the dance floor, 'BeingnesS. EP'' is such a good example of that! With 3 super energetic tracks that the dj's and ravers should pay close attention: .PlaNeTaRia. has that super cool digital vibe that will make you groove! Loverz.bacK has that minimalistic tech house vibes, fat groover with lots of crazy sounds blended together. And lost but not least, SouR. being the ''deepest'' one, but also super minimalistic and pacy, giving the dance floor a good reason to MOVE!
