Lost in Trance

Saunter (Original Mix)

Dryland is an album born during an unexpected return to the artist’s roots, in the Friulian countryside: the tracks took shape while alternating with long walks along the grava—the vast stretches of pebbles typical of the North-Eastern plains. In this landscape, only seemingly arid and dry, water flows invisibly underground, only to resurface with power in spring. The pieces of Dryland mirror the nature of those places: solid rhythmic structures, drawing on dembow and reggaeton beats, yet crossed by currents of ambient atmospheres, distant and liquid melodies flowing between kick and snare. The result is a suspended balance between danceability and dreamlike suggestions, between bursts of enthusiasm and shades of melancholy.

Sonambient is the alias of Andrea Buzzi, a producer originally from Friuli and now based in Turin. His sound blends UK Bass, distant dub echoes, and shifting ambient noises. The project was born in 2012, and since then he has performed across Italy with live sets and DJ sets, released music, and collaborated on installations, performances, and sound projects. With the Stasis collective, he curates events that merge club culture and audiovisual experimentation. In 2024 he launched MAREINTERNO, a live series dedicated to intimate forms of ambient music. Over the years, he has brought his sound to various festivals and contexts, including C2C, SYS Palermo, TUM, Kernel Festival, Vorspiel/CTM Festival – Berlin.

PREMIERE: Sonambient - Calima [Salgari Records]

Whole is a deep, melodic house journey that maps the path from isolation to connection. Driven by a hypnotic hand pan pattern and a warm, driving bassline, it builds with sophisticated restraint into a powerful, peak-time groove. Minimal, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant.

Nocturnal Wax Presents: Studio 96 #100 feat. Hot Coffee (July 17, 2020)

Recorded live exclusively for Aurora Home Festival
https://aurorafestival.art

Yair @ Aurora Home Festival July 20th, 2020

For better and worse, 2020 has been an emotional rollercoaster for most of us and so I set out to create a mix that could capture the range of emotions we've been through. The first half of the mix is all about the beautiful, lush deep house that has been a vital source of comfort and peace in an alarming time. It's like a hug from someone who understands you when you really need it, a kind of music therapy if you will. Toward the end of that initial movement you start to hear some bittersweet and darker tones mixed into the progression; the mood inevitably changes in order to take things to a darker place. The Damian Lazarus track "Holy" serves as a portal between the emotionally tender, melodic first half and the darker feelings of the second half of the mix. 

I like to think of the second half as a sort of ode to Halloween, an embrace of the darkness if you will. This part of the ride takes the energy up a notch in order to deliver some pulsing, hardened techno like a rocket sending you into the darkest parts of space. The last few tracks, especially "Vampire Nightclub," are a great reminder of the fun you can have in darkness too. It was also necessary to remind everyone that I'm "straight gangsta" after all that emotional stuff. Muahahahah Don't get it twisted!

Hope you enjoy the journey and can appreciate the dynamic nature of this set. I hope it accurately reflects the duality of life and that you might be able to see the beauty in all of it - light and darkness. Much love! <3

The electronic musician and Poker Flat founder’s contemplative new stu-dio album takes in minimal house music, moody techno and effervescent breaks across 11 unique tracks. 

Acclaimed producer, DJ, label owner and musical pioneer Steve Bug’s influence on the musical landscape is, at this stage in his career, well documented. With roots in Germany’s legendary club scene and fans around the world thanks to his enviable catalogue of releases, the influence of his label Poker Flat, and his famously exemplary DJ sets, Steve is a singular artist with a lucid and passionate approach to his craft. 

His previous LP Paradise Sold alongside Langenberg was released in 2018 to critical acclaim, and described as “elegantly euphoric” by Mixmag. Never Ending Winding Roads is an entirely solo release however, with much of it produced during the months of enforced isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many of the track titles reflect Steve’s headspace during this time, with themes of solitude, contemplation and reflection brought to the fore perhaps more than with any of his previous work. 

Steve’s formative musical years were spent during Germany’s techno and acid house heyday, with his love for a perfect groove as apparent now as it was back then. His DJ skills and a keen, innovative ear led him not down the typical path of the early nineties trance and harder dance scene, but instead towards a fresher, hybrid sound–merging stripped deep house, tweaked out acid and more minimal forms of techno and electronic music: a strand of music he fiercely champions to this day. 

Steve Bug: “My mindset when making Never Ending Winding Roads was completely different to any other project I have embarked on. I didn’t have to tour, and instead could focus 100% on writing music without having the dancefloor as a constant influence. This allowed me creative freedom to explore a range of styles and emotions, and as a result, it is the album I feel most satisfied with to date”.
With 11 brand new tracks, Never Ending Winding Roads is a meticulously produced and deeply engaging electronic album; one that explores various shades of house, techno and broken beat with Steve’s celebrated attention to detail and consummate originality. 
Album opener Lucid Loops perfectly sets the tone, immediately ensnaring you with a hypnotic, undulating synth line and a faintly menacing undertone thanks to hushed, discordant strings and unnerving vocal stabs. This atmosphere of quiet paranoia permeates many of the tracks on Never Ending Winding Roads, most explicitly in the sinewy groove and sketchy, panic-inducing synth line of Locked Away In My Head. 

This album more than perhaps any other in his career sees Steve experi- menting with broken beats, to incredible effect. Tracks like A Conscious Machine and Electro Harmonix are melodic, emotionally rich cuts: burst of radiant optimism that juxtapose beautifully with the album’s darker moments. 
Elsewhere tracks like Yellow Snake find Steve exploring deep, dubby territory, while album closer Upon Mountains is a cosmic, arpeggiated masterpiece: an 8bit computer game soundtrack reimagined as a poignant electro ballad.
