Zakmina presents a commanding dark disco release for Minimood with two spellbinding originals filled with unique and captivating sounds. The EP is complemented by compelling remixes from Curses and Rude 66. “Makam” comprises of an alluring array of instruments that create a mesmerizing atmosphere with an oriential mood to it. Curses retains this atmosphere in his remix, albeit with a deeper and darker tone. Unfolding a massive EBM vibe, “Mental Syndicate” forms a dancefloor destroyer that is driven by a vigorous kick and snare. The reimagining from Rude 66 features intergalactic vocals, raw electro sounds, as well as a truly addictive hookline.

Laima Adelaide - Far

V/A - Approaching The Illusion
[ABT-VA001 | Art Bei Ton]

Produced by Laima Adelaide
Mastered by Giovanni Conti at Artefacts Mastering
Artwork by Elcid VS

Released by Art Bei Ton from Berlin, Germany
Release Date: January 16, 2024

Following their 5th anniversary, the Berlin-based event series Art Bei Ton is kicking off its label with a first VA release ‘Approaching The Illusion’ featuring 7 tracks from Ambient to Hypnotic and Deep Techno.

The goal is to promote diverse international artists involved with our community and curate a sound reflecting different sides of our scene.

Opening the VA with a dark and ritualistic Ambient track composed by the Sardinian artist TVS, the journey follows a shamanic path by touching some euclidean rhythmics with the downtempo beat from our Art Bei Ton resident Mown.

Approaching a hypnotic dimension with Laima Adelaide’s unique atmospheric production, the VA follows up with a psychedelic tune from the Leipzig-based artist Vanta.

The collaboration between Feph and Mr. Tron offers another aspect of the hypnotic sound, with some more driving and uplifting vibes.

Wrapping up this first release, the Berlin-based artist Andrea Cossu brings us to an unusually long and trippy journey through some mental whispering voices. The Indian producer Synister (IN) takes the listener into a dark and dystopian momentum through a powerful Deep Techno groove.

Artist: Tommaso Nudo [Frigento, Italy]
Format: Digital
Release Date: January 8th 2024
Cat: ST068

In the words of the artist the album Go Through is a mental walk and soundtrack in the middle of a mysterious and densely wooded forest. He intends the viewer to enter into the resonance of objects that come to life at every step. Here, plants and animals blend seamlessly with the landscape, transforming everything into a melodic symphony, a musical tapestry without limits where the line between dream and reality dissolves into the invisible.

For today’s premiere, we look to the Italians and precisely in the form of Marco Shuttle. He’s been releasing quite a few tracks via his own imprints, and this release marks his first under the MSP banner. One with a dance floor centered focus. 

Bella Di Giorno is a tribal mover that undulates and grows, the drums providing that all important foundation for the melody to weave through. One that is intentionally muted and restrained, adding an air of mystery and introspection to the track. These muted tones provide a delicate counterpoint to the robust tribal drums, creating a balance between the primal and the contemplative.

Bella Di Giorno and the rest of Marco Shuttle’s MSP01 release will be out on January 16th.

PREMIERE: Marco Shuttle - Bella Di Giorno [MSP]

From the subterranean depths of Barcelona's NODE imprint, a sonic storm emerges in the form of "Anthracite Perception," a five-track compilation pulsating with the darkest shades of techno. Ancestral Landscapes, Biocym, Fernie, NoSignal, and Vanoni weave a spell of deep, hypnotic grooves tailor-made for the most ardent dancefloor disciples.

Today, we premiere "Arwen," the closing opus by Argentinian techno producer Vanoni, a name etched on labels like Oslated, Danza Nativa, and Ritualism Records. "Arwen" is a driving, deep techno voyage. Its rumbling groove and immersive bassline build a tension that never relents. The track's infectious swagger is a pure late-night heady burner, guaranteed to ignite the darkest corners of the club.

We’re kicking off the new year with the debut self-release from Melbourne-based artist Fefe, whose seven-track mini-LP, Sketches from Memories, drops in just a few days. This release is a reflection of Fefe’s creative journey over the past five years, capturing the evolution of his sound through a thoughtful collection of tracks.
Our premiere today, Ghost Gum, is an evocative piece that blends gentle, textured percussion with earthy synth tones and a haunting saxophone melody. The track conjures the imagery of a ritualistic dance deep within a forest, brimming with otherworldly energy.
Sketches from Memories will be available on Bandcamp starting January 15th.

PREMIERE: Fefe - Ghost Gum

Spiraling melodies and half time tempos spring to the forefront for our premiere today, titled Ravina. Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte have combined talents for a contribution to the Berlin and Lisbon based event series and label, Art Bei Ton. The fifth edition of their VA series, ‘Seeing Cursed Spirits’ will soon be released that showcases a variety of sounds. All nestled within the folds of deep and hypnotic techno.

Ravina evolves, slowly but surely. Each pulse of the percussion brings new life and energy into the air. A soft pad floats in the background, ethereal and ever-shifting, creating a sense of vast space that’s peppered with bright auditory textures giving movement and spontaneity as they jump around the listener. Gradually, voices become more pronounced, their distant melodies forming a loop that seems to repeat and evolve in subtle variations, like a mantra or chant. The panning continues to play with perception, shifting focus gently from one side to the other until the ending moments as each element slowly falls away.

Art Bei Ton’s latest VA will be released on the 16th of January and includes offerings from a diverse set of artists including Viels, PEIX, and Nao Nhil.

Seeing Cursed Spirits

PREMIERE: Floating Machine & Inerte - Ravina [Art Bei Ton]

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.

The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.

Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

Everything

PREMIERE: DJ Balduin - Somar [Small Steps]

Through overwhelming days and times of strife, an emphasis to look inwards and reflect seems appropriate. Outside stressors abound, almost at every turn it seems as the world claws at your mental stability. Italian producer, dj and more, Simone Gatto’s forthcoming Invisible Love album on his own Pregnant Void imprint marks a response to these negative forces. Giving space, soft moments of introspection and smooth melodies that all lend well to its healing nature.

Like a deep breath, The Secret of Quantum Life slowly begins. In and out, in and out. The meditative nature can’t be ignored, Simone’s background influences coming through in spades as warm tones envelop the listener, accentuated by generative warbles providing movement and spontaneity. As the track progresses, varying swirls and melodic eddies appear, like changes in the wind.

Gatto’s Invisible Love album will be released on the 7th of February.

Invisible Love

PREMIERE: Simone Gatto - The Secret Of Quantum Life [Pregnant Void]

Time flies—what started as a platform to spotlight music we love has reached an incredible milestone: our 500th premiere. Over the years, we've witnessed trends emerge, evolve, and transform into something entirely new. Within these 500 premieres, we've featured a kaleidoscope of styles and genres, but at the heart of it all, the music has always been deep, introspective, and original—an authentic reflection of the artists who create it.
We're thrilled to present Ojalá by Dutch artist Love Over Entropy for this special occasion. Taken from the long-awaited album "To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast," set to be released via Something Happening Somewhere, this track radiates optimism and quiet determination—qualities that feel perfectly encapsulated in its title.
Ojalá unfolds with gentle confidence, its uplifting keys and delicate arpeggiator lines moving together like a conversation that flows without effort. There's an understated elegance here—a lightness that never veers into excess. Each element breathes in unison, giving the track a natural, organic momentum.
The word ojalá, with its roots in hope and possibility, feels like a guiding principle for the music. It's as if Love Over Entropy has captured that sentiment and translated it into sound: a wish carried forward, subtle but powerful.
With this milestone premiere, we're reminded of why we started this platform: to share moments like this, where music connects us not just to each other but to something more profound.
Here's to the next 500 premieres—and to Ojalá, a track that reminds us of the beauty in looking forward.
