On the label’s latest, Boyanza welcomes back global cosmonaut Leo Leonski into the fold, who brings his signature blend of charming melodies, late-night driving progressions, and overall effervescence with full effect….

Leonski has always prided himself on curating a sound that skips to the beat of his travels, and that is very much reflected in the breadth and diversity contained within his discography. Originally hailing from Switzerland but now based in Mexico City, Leonski is a devotee of the iconic fusion between dance music and a myriad of playful music styles, with great emphasis placed upon live instrumentation to convey rhythm and mood - think House paired with Afro-Funk, Latin rhythms, New Wave/proto-disco synths and vocal performances. His music has a real magnetism to it, wrapped up within a fluid array of styles that effortlessly mixes multiple pools of musicality, allowing Leonski to consistently serve up new and exciting perspectives with each of his previous releases.

‘After Dark’ is the newest addition to his captivating body of work, continuing his exploration of bold 80s-style synth and drum work. Inspired heavily by cruising around the city of Los Angeles, the track embodies the city’s incessant hum and captivating ambience, with an intoxicating array of pinks and purples providing the backdrop to a night of adventure. The original mix of the title track is presented first, and this begins with a classic rhythmic outlay that Leonski has made one of his signature motifs. The vocals then slide into view alongside a pounding bass line, with the laid-back nature of the vocal performance helping to convey the mood and emotive atmosphere vividly. A ‘pacific breeze’ warmly greets us as the instrumentation grows in stature, with interwoven synth lines and intricate polyrhythmics playing their part in allowing the track to breathe and grow. The Club mix then provides a flip side view of proceedings, with the rhythm building with more intensity and feel as the dancefloor sways and moves in the euphoric night air.

Hayes Bradley is a composer, producer, and DJ who works across dance music, ambient, and film scoring as well as curating sound for key fashion brands. He has DJed at major events, including Insomniac’s Forever Midnight NYE Festival, as well as in Tokyo, Berlin, and New York. He formerly toured with Kaytranada as part of his American Dance Ghosts group and released his debut EP, ‘These Things Take Time’, back in 2017.

He has since released three albums, including the critically acclaimed ambient debut ‘1-9’ via Secular Sabbath Records, and two ethereal follow-ups, ‘Anywhere For Now’ & ‘Recommence (I/VII)’. Now he joins L.A. label Stratasonic for his latest musical adventure. This first single is a taster of an eclectic and adventurous forthcoming album, which pairs widescreen progressive, melodic broken beats with introspective songwriting and peak-time club euphoria.

Says the artist, "'Total Call' is personal chaos. Chaos, most people try to mask by acting normal. If you're crying or fucked up or panicking in public, you try and cover it up. I think everyone should just lean into whatever they are feeling and care less about the people staring back. The drums and synth pulls are masked by a common guitar riﬀ. But in the end, the guitar sound vanishes and you're just left with who you truly are. Whatever that may be, so probably just be that."

'Total Call' bursts open with gritty, raw guitar riﬀs that drive straight into thunderous breakbeats built for peak-time intensity. This visceral release of inner tension features sinewy synth lines twisting through the chaos, with a potent bassline that keeps the pressure high. It's honest, unfiltered, and sure to electrify any set.

SFRX, the single-track focused sublabel of Secret Fusion, proudly presents its fifth release — and this time, the heads of the label themselves step into the spotlight.
Aura Euphoria is a slowly unfolding journey of epic beauty. In our vision, this is trance — not the genre, but the state of mind. Anchored by a hypnotic acid bassline, layered with dubby textures and shimmering, emotive tones, it captures that elusive moment when the dancefloor dissolves into pure euphoria.
As Secret Factory’s first appearance on their own sublabel, Aura Euphoria is a statement piece: deep, cinematic, and made for those who crave immersion over instant gratification.
Lose yourself in the Aura.

Berlin’s ZentaSkai continues his slew of limited-run 200-copy vinyl releases via his Mask Records this July, presenting the ‘JIMMY’ EP, and following up last year’s ‘Bob’ EP and two instalments from his Cuddling Monsters project with Laura Merino Allue.

With ‘JIMMY’, ZentaSkai once again offers a journey through sound already supported by Luke Slater, Blasha & Allatt, Truncate, Elisa Bee, and many more. ZentaSkai (aka No Mad Ronin, Matt Nowak, and MASK) is a German DJ and producer active since 1997. Based out of his studio in Berlin, ZentaSkai runs the Zaijenroots label and, since 2017, the Mask sub-label, which houses his stunning 2023 ‘Architecture of the Mind’ LP as well as his Cuddling Monsters alias - with other credits including a release on Jerome Sydenham’s Ibadan Records and support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, Marcel Dettmann, Luke Slater, Laurent Garnier, DVS1, Ben Sims and Radio Slave.

"Ah si si" is a blend of EBM and italo disco, where taut grooves flirt with a bittersweet melancholy tinged with 80s hues. At once an invitation to dance and an introspective dive, the track plays with contrasts — between rhythmic tension and nostalgia.

The voice, sensual and slightly enigmatic, acts as a guiding thread: it ties the influences together, blurs the lines, and gives the whole piece a cohesion that makes it effortlessly ready for the dancefloor.
The italo disco elements are a deliberate nod to Camilliani’s Italian roots and his deep attachment to that musical culture.


Camilliani is no newcomer. In 2007, he made his debut with Pervert Teen, an electro EP released under the name Chairs on Backs, a duo with Yan Wagner on the Missive label. Two years later, he went solo with Fucking Day, a more radical techno EP under the alias Swaan, on Estrella Rec.

After a long hiatus, he returns under a new identity, Camilliani, and unveils Ah si si, his third project.

PREMIERE : Camiliani - Ah Si Si

This is the first single from the first Johan Agebjörn solo album of new material in 10 years, Southern Forest, to be released on US ambient label Constellation Tatsu. This single is a cover version of The Orb's classic UK top 10 ambient house single from the early ’90s. Featuring synthwave queen NINA on spoken word, the track is transformed into a dreamy, organic, beatless journey.
