Acid James's genre-blending album Global Groovers keeps listeners on their toes while they groove on the dance floor. The album combines euphoric moments, old-school beats, uplifting chords, and Acid James's signature 303 magic.

Global Groovers' concept is to unite ravers all over the world and keep fighting for their right to party and create bliss on the d-floor. Rave culture needs to stay alive, and together, we shall stand for what we love—great music, community, and dancing!

The album takes inspiration from early 90s rave music, incorporating genres such as acid house, rave, jungle, UKG, electronica, and uplifting trance records. It is filled with high-energy moments, snare rolls, acid bass line squelches, euphoric original samples, and much more!

Parkway Breeze is a vibrant and colorful 3-track EP releasing May 2024. This collection of house-adjacent instrumental chillout beats is inspired by (and hopes to invoke in the listener) feelings of warm sunshine and cool breezes. One of the goals of this project was to incorporate field recordings to complement and add more of an organic touch to the otherwise synthesized arrangements. The project features Tascam recorded samples of wind chimes, busy streets, movies, and vinyl and cassette crackle.

PREMIERE: Vyblossom - Parkway Breeze [Massive Music Collective]

Everywhere you looked there was something, a slogan, a catchphrase, a jingle, a line. Each and every one fighting harder than the last for your precious attention. This was the nature of things in the city, you might as well ignore it.

There was only one way to tune it out, a simple saying which had done him well thus far.

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."

That was all there was to it, the resistance was futile. For if every answer was yes, there was nothing less to persuade upon.

The second in a heavy hitting EP series from K-Lone on Will Saul's record label AUS Music. This one is a weighty, techy assortment of house music built strictly for the dancefloor and will become tools of the trade for many this summer.

PREMIERE: K-Lone - Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah [AUS Music]

The Concealed Club Manifesto project pays homage to the mid 2000s underground UK club music scene, an era of music which acts as well of inspiration and creativity for the Nouveau Monica, and has no doubt helped shaped his sound. For the French producer, the UK club scene holds a special allure and mystique, especially since he observed this phenomenon from afar, and was idealized as one of the most “pivotal” moments in underground club culture, making it seem intangible, hence concealed. Nouveau Monica’s sound palette is deeply rooted in the UK scene, which he combines with his own personal musical background. This mid 2000s UK club sound is what the producer defines as his “Golden Era” and the genres created during that time are the building blocks of the Concealed Club Manifesto EP.

Tilman offers up his new album ‘The Spirit Continues’ via his own Pleasant Systems this June, comprised of ten original compositions. 
Since 2008, the German producer Tilman has been honing his craft in House music through numerous EP’s on various respected labels and here we see him deliver his fourth long player. Taking influence from 80s NYC proto-garage and Nu Groove’s era of deep house Tilman creates a collection of works which encapsulate the essence of his sound and history with House music over the past two decades, embracing a raw yet dreamy aesthetic throughout. 
Across the ten tracks Tilman employs sturdy, jacking rhythm sections, ethereal atmospherics, bumpy bass lines, shimmering chord sequences, infectious vocals and enchanting top lines culminating in somatic ecstasy.

@pounces is a Caribbean-born Denver-based DJ/Producer and 1/3 of the Haus Catz crew. His new solo EP titled 'Morphing' on @yungdumb comes equipped with 4 tracks of house tinged breaks and floor-ready bass oddities, touting vocal chops, clubby percussion and wobbly synths that borrow from all corners of the dance music realm. While diverse inspiration is clear, 'Morphing' maintains an anomalous and unique originality the whole way through.
