SUBDUE - HORIZON (Original Mix)

Singapore-based producer mermaids announces the release of "Thought Shuffle," a mesmerizing deep lofi house track that marks the project's triumphant return for 2025. The single, set for release on August 15th under SEAlectors, features the evocative saxophone work of Roxy Modesto, a staple of both jazz and rock landscapes in The Philippines and Indonesia.

"Thought Shuffle" serves as a bookend to mermaids' pandemic-era "Flat Curver" series, continuing the project's exploration of intimate, home-listening experiences while maintaining dancefloor sensibilities. The track represents a natural evolution in the mermaids sound, weaving together tinges of improvised jazz elements with the project's signature blend of warm chords and subtly energetic percussion.

"I wanted to make a track that bridges my previous work with the current sound I’m dropping at my DJ sets across Southeast Asia," explains the artist. "The improvised nature of Roxy’s sax adds this organic human element on top of the music I produced in a DAW. It's like finding clarity in the noise we all experience more and more of.”

“This was also the first mermaids track that I mixed through our large format analog console. The nature of analog mixing is quite different compared to working in a DAW, and there are a lot of factors and inconsistencies that can affect the sound in a pleasant way. Our Soundcraft TS12 has been in use since the 80s when it was part of legendary TRACKS Studios in Manila, and mixing with it in the analog domain imparted a lot of its charm and vibe.”

True to the mermaids aesthetic, "Thought Shuffle" creates an atmosphere perfectly suited for quiet morning coffee rituals or providing gentle motivation during long workdays. The track's sophisticated production showcases his influences from Chicago and Detroit house legends while maintaining the lo-fi textures that have become synonymous with the project's sound.

Roxy Modesto's saxophone performance adds layers of emotional depth, creating melodic conversations between acoustic warmth and digital precision. The collaboration represents mermaids' continued commitment to featuring diverse artists across Southeast Asia, building bridges between regional music scenes.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by DJ Joey Santos at Love One Another Sound Production.
Released under SEAlectors

We are now in the middle of June and it’s time to celebrate big time, as Barcelona’s biggest week of the year has arrived again. Off Week is the most important electronic event during summer – with Sonar Festival as background – and elrow Music is ready to deliver its traditional Off Week compilation. However, this time ERM is happily joining forces with one of the biggest platforms of the industry: Kaluki. elrow & Kaluki present Off Week BCN V/A is a two-part instalment presented by the two most dynamic platforms in the tech-house scene right now. The first part of the compilation is ERM106th reference, compiled again by the label’s big man, De La Swing, and is an astonishing five-tracker of dancefloor bangers, with tunes by some of the most prolific artists of the genre. The second part will be released shortly, on Kaluki Music and promises to be just as big as this one. Opening this comp we have Hauswerks with their ‘Way Back When (Original Mix)’, a track that starts with a soft progression, a light vocal line that slowly becomes a true madness on its own, joined by some serious FX treatment, with a truly outstanding atmospheric vibe. Then, we have Ki Creighton’s ‘The Boogie Monster (Original Mix)’, a track that starts with a higher energy and continues with a kind of robotische and dark vocal line, along with some amazing synth treatment, giving the track life of its own, perfect for any moment on the dancefloor. After, we find ‘Amelia (Original Mix)’, by another great producer and DJ, Max Chapman. ‘Amelia’ has that perfect elrow’s vibe, strong and playful, with soft percussion, great FX and a steady vocal line. Continuing the line of the record, Italian duo Supernova tears us apart with ‘2 Get Her’, a groovier track with tight and strong technoid percussion, an epic vocal line that grows along

Sante Sansone - Open Space (Original Mix)

Croatian duo PEZNT, aka Blacksoul and Mark De Line, make their debut on DFTD with their sunshiny ‘Down Under EP’ after the production duo appeared on the Defected Croatia 2017 compilation with their bongo-heavy ‘Burek’. Making a very strong start, lead track ‘Toxic Love’ received the Most Rated stamp of approval on the Defected Radio Show long before release. It features infectious vocals from Gregers laden with a deep bassline and piano riffs delivering pure summertime vibes. ‘Down Under’ boasts the same positivity with its down-tempo beat, dreamlike keys and filtered vocal stabs. An upbeat debut release by the duo, promising nothing short of feel-good records.
