For his second release on the imprint, Panthera combines his cosmic musical power with the incredible singer Go Sonny. 

The collaboration between the charismatic Go Sonny and the daring Panthera is an epic sonic journey, where the astral meets the explosive. Go Sonny's captivating voice blends seamlessly with Panthera's futuristic and hypnotic rhythms.
Together, they create an electrifying and cosmic atmosphere, propelling the listener into an intergalactic dance.
A true whirlwind of energy and depth.
An unforgettable musical odyssey.

Endrik Schroeder once again demonstrates the extent of a perfectly tamed eclecticism, delivering a techno-break remix of rare finesse. Driven by a striking melancholy, this remix infuses the release with an emotional depth that is both poignant and luminous. A future late-night anthem, etched in memories to the rhythm of the first rays of dawn.

BONUS TRACK (ONLY ON BANDCAMP) : As the most beautiful tribute that Panthera could make to Kraftwerk, "Amarea" unfolds a slow and captivating atmosphere, where elements seem to float in a suspended space. Carried by ethereal layers and textured analog synthesis, the track evokes the soundscapes of 70s SCI-FI films, somewhere between cosmic mystery and futuristic melancholy. Perfect music for a contemplative interlude or a gradual build-up at the beginning of the night.

Panthera ft Go Sonny - The Warning (Radio Edit)

Having delivered one of 2024's best debut albums, Nandakke?, Belgium-Japanese duo Aili have spent much of the past 12 months bringing their kaleidoscopic collision of electro-pop, electronica, house music and more to clubs and festivals throughout Europe, Mexico and Japan. Not wanting to leave us hanging though Aili Maruyama and Orson Wouters are back with two new club ready tracks, Damewadame and Shindara, the vibe of which will be very familiar to anyone who's caught the band's live show and experienced the moment their neon hued electronic pop gives way to a calorie burning blast of beats, bass and strobe lights.  

Whilst these new tracks have already made themselves very much at home in Aili's lives sets, their origins lie in the soundtrack to an upcoming Belgium TV series, Drift, that the band were invited to score. The series follows a group of 20-something Brussels friends, navigating the shifting sands of sex and love in the 21st century, and Aili's music provides a perfect backdrop as they explore the increasingly relevant issues such non-monogamous relationships, trust and consent that young people are dealing with today.  

The first track here, Damewadame, was originally created for one of Drift's party scenes. When it came to turning the original 30 second or so snippet into a complete song Aili wanted it to reflect not just some of the themes of the show but the band's own concerns with what's happening in clubs in Belgium, and indeed around the world, today. The result is one of Aili's harder tracks, that veers more towards industrial edged techno and where rattling percussion and overdriven bass underscore the urgency of Maruyama's vocals.  

“Here I’m literally singing 'Yes is yes. No is no,' as the song is about consent in clubs," she explains, a hot button topic in Belgium in the wake of several high-profile incidents of spiking and sexual assaults. "It's an important subject, especially in clubbing environments where people take drugs, or they're intoxicated, and it can become a blur and people use that as an excuse. There's been a few cases in the news recently and it's good it's finally being taken seriously as all my female friends have a bad story, and some of my male friends too. So this is just a simple but clear message, a yes is a yes, a no is a no. Even if you're intoxicated you know what that means.”  

With many of the scenes set in Brussels' vibrant clubland Aili needed to provide an appropriately up-tempo accompaniment and for inspiration looked back to a track written for their very first live show when they needed something explosive to end the gig with. Never properly recorded until now, that intense end of set workout has been vastly overhauled. Now retitled Shindara, the track eases us in with a soaring, almost meditative intro, that sees Maruyama's vocals, glitch, echo and misfire over a bed of numinous ambient textures, before the drums and acidic synths kick in and drag us back to the dark of the dancefloor. Fitting for a song that, as Maruyama explains, ended up entering some fairly philosophical pastures.  

"The lyrics [in Japanese] are essentially about 'when I die, where do I go?' And I just don't know because I don't really have a religion to fall back on, but still it's something I often think about. So Shindara has this very long intro which is very light and uplifting, and you feel it's taking you somewhere peaceful but then it was fun to play with that idea, to have this big existential question and then turn it into a huge club track. It's a fun puzzle."

Panthera is back at the Bordello with his most energy-packed release to date. Synthsizer Hits III is forged in the heat of Hi-NRG, the romance of italo and the daring synthesizer hooks of 1980s Europe. A thick rasping beat pounds above a juddering arpeggiator line before hedonistic surges ignite “Fumare”, an achingly addictive opener. Vocals are toyed with, used to increase the potency of the chosen machines and sounds. 

A circling chant infects “Lucifera” as a joyous melody takes hold of this modern Summer anthem, euphoric notes ushering in the dawn while speakers and strobe throb. There is a palpable power that permeates the 12”. 

“The Magic Touch” sends strings sailing skyward as rich percussive textures take root below. 
From this fertile ground, a sensational ode to the synthesizer flowers. Vocoder lyrics, pulsating rhythms and keys that are truly fantastical. “Toccata” finishes this analogue celebration. 

Slow burning with disco inflections, this finale soon shows its true colours. Daring counter melodies frolic, from the elegant and refined to the brash and broad, in this mirrorball inspired last dance.

A highlight of their recent debut EP for Eskimo Recordings, Kate Stein & Lord Fascinator's Asteroid saw the psychotropic duo take us on a joyful joyride through the cosmos, its melodic synth-pop and trance inducing disco finding a hitherto unguessed at sweet spot somewhere between Spiritualized and Lipps Inc. Too much fun to keep to themselves our LA based duo have invited the likes of Aeroplane, Eli Escobar and BĘÃTFÓØT to join them on the trip and add their own touch to the track before it burns up on re-entry.

First up is high flying Belgian producer and DJ Aeroplane, who returns to Eskimo 15 years after the label released his acclaimed debut LP.  Responsible for some of the most iconic remixes around, you know you're in for a good time with Vito at the controls and he once again delivers a masterclass in pairing indie vocals and pop melodies with chrome plated disco beats and sky high synths. The result, a joyous celebration of love, chemicals and chemical induced love, sure to echo out over festival fields this summer.It's always a good sign when you see Eli Escobar's name on a track's credits and the NY producer has been delivering killer remixes for the likes of Lana Del Rey, M.I.A. and Honey Dijon for well over two decades now. Stripping Asteroid back to just the vocals and slowly but surely building it back up from there, Escobar delivers a killer synth-heavy house track for when you want to reset the vibe in the club and take things to the next level. It's set to a slow burning fuse but when it all kicks in this Asteroid explodes like a firework.Finally, taking time out from drumming duties with Red Axes Udi Naor slips into his BĘÃTFÓØT alias to deliver a frenetic, peak time remix of Asteroid. Throwing everything from pummelling martial drums, rave stabs, urgent synths and pitched up vocals into the mix, Naor's remix burns through the sky like a particularly wildly piloted UFO, a sci-fi synth stunner with all strobes set to stun.

French-born and Barcelona-based, Jo Kazan lands on Espacio Cielo with Ride of the Bat, a double A-side that moves between shadowy club euphoria and cinematic nostalgia. The title track is a proper dancefloor weapon - brooding, driving, and tailor-made for late-night indie dance rituals. JG Outsider dials up the EBM intensity, turning it into a full-blown sonic missile that leaves no survivors.

On the flip, Whispers of the Southlands trades brute force for emotion, unfolding like a melancholic daydream powered by shimmering arpeggios. Label regulars Silicodisco and Mao Fonnegra team up again to remix it, adding muscle and mystery while keeping the cape firmly on your shoulders - yes, it's giving synthwave Superman.

Four cuts, one vision: emotional power meets club precision.

Roam Recordings label head Jason Peters returns with his latest single, We Used to Watch the Sunrise — a nostalgic and emotionally charged track blending warm electronic melodies, acid-tinged rhythms, and an arpeggiated bassline. Anchored by Jason Peters’ own vocals, the song plays like a modern rave ballad, echoing the sentiment: "I remember when we used to watch the sunrise."

The release is rounded out by two standout remixes that complement the original while offering distinct perspectives. Longtime Roam collaborator Fabrizio Mammarella delivers a high-energy rework, amplifying the track with vibrant synth work and reshaping it into a focused, dancefloor-ready jam. On the flip side, Neu-Romancer & Radondo slow things down with a lush, mid-tempo interpretation. Their remix leans into moody 80s nostalgia, infusing the track with a goth-tinged, neo-new wave aesthetic.

Together, the package offers a rich and cohesive listening experience that spans emotional highs and late-night dancefloor vibes.

Hypnotized

Hypnotized (Etane Remix)

Behind Plaisir de France stands Julien Barthe — producer, arranger, and DJ — spreading musical pleasure across France and the world since 1993. A true craftsman of the French electronic scene, he’s known for his elegant blend of pop, dance, and club culture. In 2023, he celebrated 20 years of creation with a monumental 20-track album featuring 17 iconic French voices, including Barbara Carlotti, Bertrand Belin, Arnold Turboust, Valli, Alex Rossi, and Régina Demina. His music has also inspired remixes by Damon Jee, Tim Paris, Badknife, Polo Corp (Polo & Pan), Rework, and more. Parallel to this, he continues to develop his other project, SLOVE, with Léo Hellden, whose third album, Le Fly, was released in 2024.

With "French Pleasure", Plaisir de France drops a three-track house EP crafted for the dancefloor and DJs alike. These tracks are built as tributes to the timeless 90s club sets — progressive, filtered, and euphoric — yet infused with today’s sonic textures.

Drama: a subtle underground anthem, stripped-down yet powerful, echoing endless nights and secret clubs.

French Frog: peak-time energy, rising tension — a dancefloor weapon built for ecstatic moments.

Whispers of Magic: nostalgic, filtered, and filled with love. A smooth progressive groove that invites intimacy and slow-burning dance.

These tracks are made to lose track of time, to get lost in the movement — with pleasure as the only compass. Familiar on purpose, effective by design: this is old-school house reimagined for now.

The track 'Ghost Lover' by @zimmermusic  & Sébastien Boucher is part of EMO Dance Vol.1,  the first compilation from the @esmimomento label. 

The release is composed by five tracks that lay the foundation of Es Mi Momento's 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 a manifesto.

We’re big fans here at Sprechen of Frederik Hendrik and have been hammering his release on HeSheThey and Pomme Fritte in many sets over the years which is what drive us to drop him a fax and see if he’d be up for gracing us with his presence on Sprechen. After nearly 3 years (in which time he hands built himself a garden studio!) we are please to welcome him to the fold with 2 absolute killer cuts on Andere Landen.

Het Spiraal is a turbo charged, head down stomper which packs bags of funk and dance floor groove into its 6 & half min run time. Deranged synths stab in & out with phased out melodies and enough space disco soundscapes to make Prins Thomas quake in his Norwegian slippers!

Title track Andere Landen is a touch of a deeper affair but still packing the jackin’ along with some wobbly synth sounds & Italo style vibes and an absolute slamming drop with a twisted vocal wrapping itself into your psyche. Not quite a peak time but a tune you’d drop peak time (if that makes sense!?)…another subtle banger that will hook ‘em in. HUGE.

Biography:

Ilya Santana is a name that echoes through the shimmering corridors of electronic music, particularly in the realms of space disco and cosmic funk. Born and raised in the Canary Islands, a place where the Atlantic meets the dust of Africa, Santana found himself drawn to the edges of sound early on—edges where melody could float, and rhythm didn’t have to march. He came up through the analog warmth of the ‘70s and the cold seduction of the ‘80s, and somehow fused both into his own kind of future nostalgia.

His career took root in the early 2000s, not through grand gestures but through consistency—a steady stream of releases that wound their way through labels like Balearic stalwarts Eskimo Recordings and Nang. Each track, a kind of ode to neon dreams and late-night drives, became a testament to Santana’s gift for atmosphere: his music doesn’t just play, it inhabits. There’s a cinematic quality to his work, like he’s scoring the movie of a life that’s never quite real but always feels familiar.

Ilya’s sound is less about chart-topping bravado and more about evocation. It lingers. It hums beneath the surface of memory. Through remix work, original compositions, and DJ sets that feel like journeys, Santana has shaped a career that’s both low-key and influential—an underground luminary lighting the way for those who understand that some of the best music doesn’t demand attention, it earns it.

Ilya is running his own record label "Astrolead recordings" specialized on the most underground side of Disco, Space/Cosmic disco, Retro and Synthwave.
Also started duties as a sound designer crafting sample/loops packages for "Loopmasters"
