Spirit Of The Hawk

You Make Me Feel

art:cast °187 | Ballan

When Ballan lands on a label, it’s rarely by accident. The globe-hopping producer has a knack for weaving together the raw energy of Electro, the swing of UK Garage, and the cheeky irreverence of House into tracks that sound as spontaneous as they are deliberate. With releases on Bliss, Sucre Discs, Non Stop Rhythm, Howl and his own imprint Phlex Recs, Ballan has carved out a corner of the underground where grooves hit heavy but always come with a wink.

His latest adventure finds him on Alec Falconer’s ever-mischievous SUNNY label, following Phill Prince’s “Playground Pleasure” with an equally playful yet razor-edged two-tracker: “Different Shapes / Eurocup Mess.” One track born on a beach in Thailand, another out of admiration for Thierry Henry and a love letter to Electro - together they encapsulate Ballan’s refusal to play by any rulebook except his own.

Fresh off a Euro summer and ahead of his contribution to the art:cast series, Ballan sat down with Torture the Artist to talk about the accidents that make tracks special, guilty pleasures that would shock the underground, and why every morning starts with coffee, a computer, and a burst of creativity.

Yoyaku Instore Session with Danilo Plessow aka MCDE

exclusive | Flash FM - Petit Chateau | Attention Spin!

Attention Spin! returns for its third chapter, “Il était une fois le bien le mal” - a five-track ensemble that feels like a musical fable of contrasts, weaving between light and shadow, pop and underground, sexy nostalgia and modern club heat. The vinyl-imprint run by Dawidu continues to stake its claim as a playground where various sub-genres of electronic music and eccentricity not only coexist but thrive.

Flash FM (P.O & U-Died aka Mare) opens the story with “Petit Château”, a quirky yet sleek House cut that leans on computerised vocals and a buoyant bassline. The synth line flows with just the right dose of ease, making this opener a go-to for DJs who want to set a mood without forcing it – simple, classy, and straight to the floor.

P.O & N2o follow with “Game Over”, a tune that wears its 80s influence with pride. A lush, melodic synth line weaves around an Electro skeleton, delivering something that’s at once sensual and playful. It’s cheeky, it’s danceable, it’s the kind of track that makes you wish for a smoke machine, a strobe, and a crowd that knows how to move their hips.

Closing the A-side, P.O & Yoann TDI bring “Je ne dis jamais rien” - and nothing about this track is silent. Addictive pop-leaning vocals, paired with an Italo-tinted Electro groove, create a late-summer anthem that clings to your head long after the needle lifts. It’s playful but sharp, uplifting yet just twisted enough to work in the depths of a night.

Flip to the B-side and Tibahuult teams up with Ana for “Breath”. The Electro DNA is still there but stripped of overt 80s cues, making space for Ana’s sultry vocals to do the heavy lifting. The result is intoxicating - a track you don’t just hear but feel on your skin, the kind that turns dancefloors into intimate encounters.

To close, Tibahuult and label-head Dawidu deliver “Melody”. It’s a fitting finale - pop-tinged, electro-infused, lighthearted yet driving. It doesn’t aim for drama but for closure, the sweet comedown after the rush, leaving dancers with warmth and a smile.

With “Il était une fois le bien le mal”, Attention Spin! proves itself to be more than a label - it’s a stage for narrative, for character, for sound that isn’t afraid to straddle genres or moods. Five tracks, five personalities, one story that lingers.

exclusive | Papolious Jones -  Answers | tresydos

Papolious Jones - aka Brian Topham - makes his debut on Mari.te’s ever-eclectic tresydos with the release "Answers", a four-tracker that blurs the lines between nostalgia and the now. Across the EP, the Barcelona-based artist sculpts grooves that feel like they’ve been unearthed from a 90s afterhours tape, yet carry a polish and focus that’s distinctly contemporary.

The title track, "Answers", sets the tone: a tightly wound number where elegant synth lines curl into a hypnotic loop, equal parts party-minded and introspective. An acid line bubbles beneath the surface, not snarling but slyly guiding the pulse, while retro flecks creep in like afterimages from old Electro records. Still, this isn’t pastiche - the track maintains a sound very much its own, balancing strut and subtlety, memory and immediacy. It’s the kind of cut that convinces bodies onto the floor without needing to raise its voice, inviting dancers to sink into its understated but undeniable pull.

Papolious Jones makes his statement with restraint: "Answers" doesn’t scream, it suggests. And in that suggestion lies the magic - a groove both retro-tinged and refreshingly current, impossible to pin down and even harder to resist.
