For the first-ever Mixmag Lab in Mozambique, Mochakk showcased his soulful side, perfectly blending deep, jazzy house and jacking NYC grooves with nods to the crowd and location.

“I’ve wanted to come to Moçambique for a long time, it was the first place outside of Brasil where people started consuming my music, and finally being here has been an incredible experience. I’ve been in touch with amazing local DJs for a while, and I’ve always heard great things about the scene from fellow Brazilian artists who have played here before me," says Mochakk.

“Coming from Brasil, I know how challenging it can be to build a life in music in developing countries like ours. That’s why this Mixmag cover, shot in Moçambique, is so meaningful to me. It’s not only a milestone in my journey, but also a dedication to all emerging artists from places like Brasil and Moçambique. There’s so much talent and potential in our scenes, and I want the world to recognise that.

“My biggest passion when I play is sharing new music, just like I would with my friends, and I want to be able to help bring that same spirit of discovery to the public. Brasil and Moçambique have a connection through history, culture, and musical synergy, and I’m honoured to have collaborated with Mixmag there, to share my story, and to help shine a light on this beautiful scene. I’m so happy to have had this very, very special time captured. It felt like saying ‘thank you’ and getting hugged back.”

The Cover Mix: Mochakk

Pre-order: melodizemusic.bandcamp.com/album/killing-culture

Bristol-based producer @zobol lands on Brooklyn imprint @melodizemusic with 'Killing Culture', a bold, four-track statement that fuses electro and breaks into something raw, physical, and emotionally-charged.

B-side track 'Weapon of Mass Distraction' unfolds from a looping synth fragment, slowly ramping into a tense, bass-driven groove - relentless, exacting, and distractingly armoured with acidity.

Australian producer @jensen-interceptor is set to release his second studio album, ‘Interception’, via his @internationalchrome label later this month.

“I’ve always made music geared towards use in my DJ sets, but there’s always been an urge to explore the deeper side of electronic music," he says. “I really wanted to challenge and, I guess, prove myself in other spheres, to take my music to a new place."

Premiere: Jensen Interceptor 'Etchasketch'

@dubrunneruk’s label @menace_intl introduces its first new signing, inviting Manchester-based producer @slimyape to the imprint with a four-track EP, 'Onstera'.

'Ultrasonic' blends the warm crackle of dub techno chords with the slippery snatches of sampled vocals, with a beat that nods to both UK funky and techno.

Seoul's Mount XLR (@kwangjaejeon) is a master at sculpting samples and sounds in a way that makes his music feel 3D — a throbbing entity, gritty and alive. On his new EP, 'Phase i', via @sound-supplyservice, he's deeply influenced by UK music - particularly bass, post-dubstep, and garage.

The six-tracker closes with 'Codrington Bounce', a cut partly produced in London that ties together the record’s dual energy and brings the narrative full circle.

The instruction was simple: Bring the heat, whatever way you see fit. New York-by-LA's @annamorgan_dj delivers to the brief, supplying quickfire club energy on 'Entrem 160'.

@maara’s next EP, 'Revenge From The Penthouse', on @very-ancient-records is a ride through the Montreal artist's signature fast and relentless club sounds.

Made for lovers of all things turbo, dark and mental freakiness, this five-track EP is packed full of unrelenting club energy.

Premiere: Maara 'Unstable'

Pre-order: https://earlyreflex.bandcamp.com/album/eyes-iv

@noni-mouse debuts on @earlyreflex with 'Eyes IV', the latest instalment in the label’s 'Eyes' two-tracker series. The London-based producer arrives with her heaviest record yet: a pair of raw, shadowy club cuts that double down on percussive pressure and weighty bassline.

'Model' stretches out the mood with tense pacing and syncopated drum work, where melodic fragments smear across a pulsing low-end and flickering hi-hats, creating a hypnotic pull built for strobe-lit floors.
