Florian Herzberg is the man behind My Secret Playground. When giving his 3-tracker-debut on JEAHMON! Records a headline we would choose this: "A Berlin Melange". Again and again Florian is drawn to his hometown Vienna. A city full of old glory and vanity, a spirit of optimism and standstill in the same way. On his new EP "NOSTALGIA", the now Berlin-based producer combines these opposites in three Electro and typical 1980s tracks. Rolling aggressive beats are replaced by broad synths and strings. Pounding kick drums paired with nostalgic vocal lines make the leap into the 21st century and give My Secret Playgrounds EP its own contemporary Indie Dance sound. A coloured mix of amazing fish food that will now be put into our aquarium. A warm welcome to My Secret Playground and Joy Tyson. You are here in good company!

A slow-burning dance track for the quiet confident. Sexy but introverted, it’s about loving your body without needing a spotlight. Made for late nights, solo moves, and the moment you start dancing just for yourself. Somewhere between headphones and the dancefloor—this is self-love, with a beat. Rise in Silence is part of EMO Dance Vol.1, the first compilation from Es Mi Momento. 

EMO Dance Vol.1 is the first compilation from the Es Mi Momento label: five tracks that lay the foundation of our sonic identity: from slow, dark indie dance to fast, radiant trance, with vocal-driven melodies tinged with 80s influences. It’s more than a compilation. It’s our manifesto. The project includes the eponymous track “Es Mi Momento” by Zimmer & Los Eclipses, capturing that tension between melancholy and ecstasy.

Zaatar - Rise In Silence [Es Mi Momento]

Melpoee is delighted to announce the arrival of Dutch trio Tending Tropic on their label. This bold and magnetic sonic incursion unveils a truly dreamlike musical language.

Driven by meticulously crafted and hypnotic arpeggios, the three original tracks merge the raw power of club music with a refined harmonic elegance. On each piece, the kick/bass duo unleashes an energy that sculpts the sonic space with razor-sharp precision, while futuristic melodic textures lend the whole a sense of timelessness.

Doctr’s remix is an incisive reinterpretation, resolutely crafted for the dancefloor. Driven by an unyielding groove, the track unleashes a raw, irresistible energy, distinguished by its surgical vocal deconstruction. The result is a true sonic uppercut — a bold, no-holds-barred banger, meticulously engineered to plunge the club into collective trance.

This release already stands out as a cornerstone offering, meticulously designed for peak-time moments and destined to become a staple of your most essential electronic nights.

Tending Tropic - Post Disco Italo Rave (Doctr Remix) [Mélopée Records]

Buckle up for a ride through neon-lit streets with 'Neon Drift'. Stahler delivers a powerful slice of retrofuturistic magic, driven by a pulsating bassline that keeps your heartbeat in sync with the groove. The shimmering, retro-inspired keyboards weave hypnotic melodies, painting a cinematic atmosphere that feels straight out of an 80s night drive.

The release also features a remix by Italo Brutalo, who stays true to his signature style, infusing the track with the warm romanticism of his beloved analog gear. His version brings out the nostalgic heart of a classic synth-driven sound, turning Neon Drift into a tender yet powerful homage to vintage synth culture.

Stahler - Neon Drift (Italo Brutalo Remix)

Feinstoff’s Free DL series welcomes Nackley, who reimagines Roxette’s “The Look” as a proper chugger with a sly club-ready twist. Originally a 1989 chart-topper that rocketed the Swedish duo to global fame, the song’s unmistakable hook still lingers with seductive pull. Nackley channels that energy into something darker, heavier, and built for long, late-night floors.

And in case you’re wondering, the shirt says it all: stop asking, he doesn’t make porn, but he does make tracks.

TRACK ich mags verkopft (not mastered, not released)


With his track “Time Is Not Real,” Dutch producer Doctr resurrects the break fever of the 1980s. Driven by syncopated beats and an irresistible slapped bassline, the track clearly draws inspiration from “Street Dance,” while injecting a modern dynamic and a vocal by Belle Doron. 

Percussive breaks, subtle vocoders, and an uptempo groove give the piece an energy crafted for the dancefloor. A retro-futuristic gem that belongs on every nu-funk and electro-boogie playlist.
With "Echoes," Doctr delivers a delicate Italo disco ballad. The catchy, melodic, and luminous leads rise like memories that refuse to fade away. In the background, airy pads weave a sensitive, almost cinematic atmosphere. The refined and nuanced production plays on contrasts between danceable pulse and introspection. A track that touches both the heart and the body, standing at the crossroads of the club and pure emotion.

To close the release, “The Calling” is an irresistible groove set to ignite dancefloors. At the heart of the track, a powerful and hypnotic 30-second percussive break grabs attention before giving way to a perfectly crafted Italo disco melody. This contrast between raw rhythmic energy and melodic finesse makes the track an essential club anthem, embodying the perfect fusion of power and sonic elegance.

For the Geeks & the Nerds: Bounce out the SID6581, turn on the synth (Minibrute s2, Oberheim SEM) and add a pinch of reverb in Ableton.
