Summer is flying by and it's time for our next compilation again. This time we have put together a large selection of artists for you whose sound we have been liking lately.

Downtempo is a very diverse music genre with many different styles and directions. As always, we want to address all these influences we like with our compilation and bring them under one roof. So there should be something for everyone on this release, whether to chill out on an open air or inside in the fog of the night.

We are very grateful to have represented so many different and talented musicians on our label and we would like to thank all artists involved. Especially our Mastering Engineer Haunted Water & Kilian Van De Water for the gorgeous Artwork again.

Onix - Intergalactic Horsemen

Release: Dark Hill EP
Artist: Sydka
Label: MŎNɅDɅ
 Cat-No.: MND057
Release Date: 2022-12-16

➟ Beatport: bit.ly/3UlBPez

We are enormously stoked to close this exhilarating year with an equally exhilarating release.

Sydka debuted on MŎNɅDɅ with his massive track "Night Creed" as we closed last year's chapter with PɅRŎUSIɅ IV V/Ʌ. Followed by his equally loved and successful track "Halcyon" which found its place on the label shortly after. His sound is unmistakable and is able to open up new spheres within the versatile downtempo genre. Sydkas productions are to the point, crisp and with a deep groove. Whoever has heard him once, will recognize him again and again.

Dark Hill comes with 3 Originals and has been enhanced with remixes from Nada, Urem, Rubén Coslada and Katabtu, which stylistically underline the release skillfully and are on a par with the originals in the finest way.

We're soul happy to have this talented artist with his groundbreaking sound script back on our side and are equally grateful for the stunning company of remixers on Dark Hill. We can't wait to have that sick sounds swirling us potently through the holidays & new years eve.

Premiere: Sydka - Dark Hill (Nada Remix) [MŎNɅDɅ]

At the beginning of October, we are releasing an EP that we are especially excited about! After dazzling us with several remixes over the past few months, the time has come to introduce you to the debut EP from @laaarmusic on our label, titled "Of Mind and Matter".

The two original tracks from our talented Israeli friend are a playful and dreamy journey, reminiscent of the driving yet mellow sound that first drew us to the world of downtempo. To complete the release, we've added two thrilling remixes from @deisenmusic and @jonasfasching, each bringing their own unique interpretation.

We'd like to express our deepest gratitude to all the amazing artists involved, as well as to our graphic designer Kilian Van de Water and mastering engineer Haunted Water.

Enjoy the EP and safe travels on this sonic adventure!

Laaar - Mind (Jonas Fasching Remix)

💭 Just drive out. Simply head off into the sunset without a plan, with your loved one in the passenger seat. These days, everything and everyone is packed to the top with commitments, deadlines and responsibilities. That's why a road trip into the blue is sometimes the only logical thing to do. The wind blows around your face and all your worries are washed away.

🎵 "Ajnai" by Benoir sounds like a classic downtempo song. Swinging melodies float by, while a rich percussion backdrop captivates the energy for the lead synth. The break allows us to take a deep breath and with the drop, "Ajnai" reveals its full depth. What a great and mystic sound. Thank you 🙏

Faber - Tales of the Future

Hey friends, our next release is just around the corner, and we’ve decided to premiere this one a bit early. We’ve had a lot of fun playing it live at various festivals and club events, refining it along the way after each test run. Now, we’re excited to see where DJs will take it from here.
Thank you all for being part of this journey. We truly appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️

Everything falls apart — structures, meanings, selves. In a world where certainty erodes and ideals wither, Decay is not an end but a movement, a slow unmaking that reveals what was always temporary. Yet within this realization lies a quiet freedom, a radical acceptance in letting go. To embrace decay is to release control, to let sound dissolve into silence, and to find beauty in what fades. 
Decay emerges from the shade, reaching toward the light, only to dissolve once more. A cycle without resistance, a pulse that rises and fades - always shifting, never still.
Full release out Feb. 28 on all platforms @rebelliondertraumer

Next up we see Ruben Coslada solving the unsolved Mysteries Of Tikaran by employing a deep fusion of bass heavy TechHouse and a good portion of ancient mystique alongside beautifully cascading guitar elements, Tribal drumrolls and haunting, warped vocal bits leading up to a dramatic, deeply touching climax.
