'Berlin duo Kotelett & Zadak have released a steady stream of kooky tracks on Exploited Ghetto over the last few years amidst other outings for the likes of Poker Flat Recordings. You can always count on them to deliver some potent material for the dancefloor, and this new pack doesnt fail to excite.

"Sam Same" hooks you in with its rapid-fire metallic percussion and a pulsing lead synth which is full of drama and suspense. Ticking hi-hats drive the track along as subtle washes of reverb swell gently beneath. A resonant, bubbling 8-bit style synth rears its head from time to time with cartoon-like charisma. Shrieking, muted organ-like sounds add more colour still in the break. A nagging arpeggio builds the intensity further as sleek hi-hats pick up the energy further. These constituent parts could easily be combined into something overblown and intense, but the subtlety displayed throughout is a far more powerful option.'

'Luka Sambe and Eisenzahn team up once more for their debut on Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden label with a three track EP Iberukan.   Having previously worked together for Darin Epsilon’s Prospectives Digital the team turn in 3 musically rich deep house groovers. 

Lead track ‘Iberukan’ is a smooth ride with great attention to detail. Rounded kicks and crisp percussion lay the foundations for a series of melodic layers to ebb and flow over the course of the track with consummate ease.'

'Based out of Washington D.C, Shades Of Play is a duo comprised of longtime friends & label owners , Felipe Rivera & Derek Tucker.

Having met upon a chance encounter in 2011 they soon began collaborating on various style projects working dilligently to refine their sound. Their most recent notable release 'Hybrid Theories', reaching #1 on Traxsource's Top 100 Techno Charts.

'Seppuku EP' is a natural progression of our sound, we are both deeply introspective people and have dealt with tons of trauma in our lives and we have always struggled to try and encompass that in our music, with 'Seppuku' it was as if all the parts and things we had learned both in life and our craft came together. The tracks themselves are moody, melancholic with a touch of 80's and deep sounds. - Felipe & Derek

The lead track, ‘ Dupont Circle ‘ touches on the subject of inner battles, anxiety, alcoholism and drug use. One of my biggest struggles in life has been the constant feeling of emptiness, and seeking to fit in or being accepted. Throughout different points in my life I turned to alcohol and other substances to help me cope and try to better understand who I thought I needed to be. I still struggle with some of these internal questions but I no longer feel the need to use anything to make up for them. – Felipe'

'Today announces the inaugural release of a new label, Immersed. From the East Coast of the United States, Immersed promotes deep house and deep progressive house. These two sub-genres have become immense in the underground house scene and can be seen on our first release, Clouded.

Original artist David Saffran (Gambitt) was born and raised in Asheville, N.C. where he spent most of his early life learning music. He attended music production school, Tin Pan Alley Studios, in New York City for five years and is classically trained as a pianist and singer. Gambitt has no official releases to his name yet, but his close friendship with Immersed has landed him the role of official A&R. Gambitt’s track Clouded plans to set the standard for the label, presenting driving melodies, rich sound design and moving basslines.

First on remix duty is respected progressive house artist, Antrim. Founder of Or Two Strangers and hailing from the center of the Argentinian progressive scene, Guillermo Cornejo has released on some of the most respected labels, such as Sudbeat and Hope Recordings. Antrim’s sound is widely recognizable with his layered melodies and groovy percussive drums. His signature sound is present on this remix, being amplified to please those looking for a groovier rendition.

On final remix, duty is Argentinian progressive duo, Analog Jungs. Claudio Cornejo and Gustavo Ruarte are teamed up as one of the most recognized aliases in deep progressive house. Their music has been heard all over the world, played out by Hernan Cattaneo, Jody Wisternoff, Nick Warren and many more. Known for their combination of minimalistic melodies and catchy grooves, Analog Jungs delivers captivating creativity.'

'The twelfth batch of fruits from our fruit orchard have been picked, and are ready to taste.

The deep melodic sounds of French producer Quatri have a depth and uniqueness that is hard to quantify or draw comparisons against. His detailed and emotive production style, which made its foundations at imprints like Oleeva Records and Nie Wieder Schlafen, is quickly turning underground heads.

The title track "Vendet" sits firmly in Quatri's signature style. Surrounded by a crisp drum rack, atmospheres weave in and out, through flutes and influences from the World. "Who Are You" is a lot more clubbier of the two. With brass Parisian elements and a hefty kick, the track will pick up the flow in a set in no time.'

'The second edition of 'Terra Incognita' builds an epic union of the amazing producers and their breathtaking music pieces.

Greek producer Ziger and his 'After Midnight' became of the most successful Progressive House tracks of 2018, and now Ziger opens curtains of the release with 'Transparent' - a track, the pulsing energy of which lays the world of colorful melodies onto the right path.

The Lithuanian producer Kastis Torrau signed to Last Night On Earth and Visceral from the small pinch to mention comes up with our Mexican brother Betoko (Diynamic, Einmusika, KATERMUKKE) to deliver 'Raketa' - the bass-density track, which is looping you into the vibe with its crazy electric sounds from its first seconds till the last ones.

Our French friend Acumen, the label owner of Time Has Changed Recordings and the artist with a rich catalog where Selador, Leena Music, Tenampa just some to match, does 'Puppet' - a great melodic tune fitting to roll the mood of the night.

A very promising live act, the professional violinist and the producer from Germany Seth Schwarz puts his music mind together with Stephan Zovsky for 'Ometion' - lyrical and rich on progressions track, that's what we are very big fans of here.

Turkey-based producer Deniz Kabu combines a perfect match of the vocals, the progressions, and the acid sounds into a track which is called 'In A Life'; the track which has already seen another perspective from Diynamic label-boss Solomun during his sets.

That's how the unknown spots from the world illuminate all the spots of our big planet with music, as we set no boundaries. As a 'must'.'

'Acclaimed production duo King & Early combine with Solartrak on the deep and melodic ‘Demons’ released on Champion Records on 28 June.

Featuring Shanaz’s powerful and soulful vocal, ‘Demons’ conjures up balmy Ibiza nights. The emotive and mysterious track has a dark, yet poignant feel with a stunning string arrangement and atmospheric beats which keep on building throughout to become a euphoric dance-floor filler.
