Kölsch & Dubfire - Lousiana (Kevin de Vries Remix)

Argentinian producers Øostil & U S H N U present a brand new EP on Hunter/Game’s Just This label. 

‘Safe’ has already been played by select DJs and tastemakers around the world. The track breaks the dancefloor with vanguard metallic flavor. Its characteristic and analog sound brings peculiar harmonies and atmospheric pads, shrouded in mystery. 

Label bosses Hunter/Game offer a dub meditative (dark and dreamy) version of the original, gradually building the tension that reaches its peak on the break. 

Citizen Kain takes a different approach with a mesmerizing dancefloor remake, ideal for peak time moments.

ODTD037 sees the Øddity return of SOEL and Rinzen after featuring individually on Odd Echoes VAs. Now these two exciting producers combine to full effect over an extended release after significant melodic techno works for Afterlife, TAU, Bedrock, NOTTURNA and Last Night On Earth.

Title track ‘Meliora’ grabs your attention straight away with its driving 4/4 beat, dark ringing keys and deep sub bass. Rich stirring synth lines enter giving a sense of warmth, with emotions heightened across an extended breakdown that teases the audience as they wait for that inevitable release of energy. The drop is tasteful and certainly doesn’t disappoint. ‘Meliora’ is perfect for long summer sets on a moonlit terrace or a hot dark club with a big sound system.

‘Beauty in the Midst of Uncertainty’ takes us deeper into the minds of SOEL and Rinzen across an expansive journey that pulls you into its cavernous core. The bass keys throb and pulse, as angular arps take aim from the speakers - before you know it you’re caught up in a maelstrom of sound, blissfully pinned to the dance-floor as the rising sea of arms wave in unison, living in the purity of that moment.

‘Patterned Chaos’ sees the two artists stretch out over a pulsating melodic techno DJ tool. Punchy yet crisp beats and echoed cymbal crashes set an intense groove while the arpeggiated theme seizes your attention. The notes slow down and then gain in tempo - swirling and hypnotizing the listener as the intensity dial is twisted up to 11 before taking you to the finish with a broody dark relentless groove.
Rinzen closes thing off with his solo production ‘A World Too Late’ - textured and poignant, yet upbeat and warm its a great way to finish the EP as the melodies fill the room. One of those tracks that makes you go in for a further play after the beats ride out.

Grigoré makes his SPECTRUM debut with a remake of Push's 'Strange World'

It's a brave artist that sets their sights on remaking a true 'Classic', from any genre. Productions that are steeped in history. A soundtrack to millions of personal moments across a myriad of global dancefloors, headphones and stereos. Music that means so much to so many. Some will actively avoid it, while others have always dreamt of adding their signature to a monument.

Push 'Strange World' is undoubtedly considered a Trance classic. Originally released on Bonzai back in 2000, it was immediately overshadowed by M.I.K.E. Push's own '2000' Remake from the same package. The golden era (arguably) for the genre was coming to a close and whilst previous years had seen a slew of historic hits there was still room for more. 'Strange World' with its spine-tingling and unforgettable melody, breakbeat-driven breakdown and the epic finale is still considered one of the very best.

Diynamic and This Never Happened artist, Grigoré, showed no fear when he set out to recreate 'Strange World' in his own vision. 'I remember hearing the track for the first time and having my mind completely blown. That feeling has stuck with me and each time I hear the original I still feel it, physically. When I set out to recreate the track, I wanted to try and maintain that original vibe and energy, but with a new sound and feeling.'

Grigoré's 'Strange World' is a slow burner. Bubbling away in a cauldron of synth, the original melody still shines bright, be it at a slower pace, and the orchestral feeling still sweeps us along throughout. Drum rolls abound and bassline drives, to create a respectful and supremely effective remake.

Emerging Dutch talent Rose Ringed steps into the spotlight with a remarkable new release on Joris Voorn's Spectrum label. Following a series of self-released gems and the well-received 'Never Stop' single, featured on Solomun's Diynamic label, Rose Ringed's journey continues with a stunning two-track offering that showcases his evolving artistic depth and sonic finesse.

Reconciliation, a track that has been a staple in recent sets of Voorn, stands as a poignant testament to the power of forgiveness and moving forward. Through a harmonious blend of orchestral vocals, sweeping strings, and an expansive synth melody, Rose Ringed crafts an emotionally resonant soundscape that invites listeners to let go of the past and embrace a new chapter.

On the flip side, What If delves into the labyrinth of human uncertainty, fear, and hope regarding the future. A hauntingly evocative synth line and dynamic rhythms guide the track's progression, leading to an entrancing breakdown where soaring organ chords provide a moment of introspection. The relentless return of the main synth line, accompanied by rapid-fire snares, culminates in a cinematic crescendo, making it a compelling addition to any arena-worthy playlist.

Rose Ringed's debut on Spectrum not only underscores his talent as a producer but also reaffirms Voorn and Spectrum's dedication to discovering and highlighting fresh voices within the electronic music landscape. With a robust summer of performances already behind him, Rose Ringed is poised to captivate audiences on an even grander scale with his Spectrum debut.

Township Rebellion - Ramses (Original Mix)

Jerome Isma-ae combines the behind-the-curtain knowledge of a music producer, with the familiarity and deep knowledge of a dance floor you would expect from a DJ. Broad in his influences, and a visionary in his approach, you’ll always catch a hint of progressiveness in his sound. Jerome has been surrounded by music since his early years, with musical education in elementary school, learning the piano and later the guitar. At 12, Jerome was already playing the bass guitar in a heavy metal band, but it wasn’t until 14 that he started making his own beats with a drum machine.
Having dabbled in many dance music subgenres, you will catch glimpses of Techno, Trance, and Progressive House in his productions. A mean and heavy rhythm section is contrasted against haunting harmonies and counter melodies, and complimented by ambient and textural layers that add a new dimension to the final product. This formula is applied with top-notch clarity and a meticulous attention to detail to such an extent that the sound of his drums has become both recognizable and memorable.
