Making their debut on Stress Records, London based trio, EYNKA deliver with dreamy electronica two-tracker, ‘Ascendance / Give It Up'.

The title track boasts beautifully crisp kicks, warm strings, and an enchanting vocal that’s dissected so that it sounds like trancey pads straight from the 90s. It’s emotive, uplifting, and incredibly fresh. ‘Give It Up’ is equally striking and effortlessly pulls you into its otherworldly landscapes of blissful euphoria.

EYNKA's sound that fuses techy grooves and emotive melodies has impressed the likes of Kölsch, Claptone, and Solomun who signed the trio to his Diynamic imprint. Their release on Stress shows EYNKA at their best with a mature and defined electronica sound.

After a short while finely tuning the sample-based house and disco ReGraded sub-label, Midland reopens the doors to his original Graded imprint with a release that's well worth shouting about. Catalogue number #003 comes in the form of three-track Blush EP, with an opening title track that highlighted Midland's own BR set at Dekmantel last summer. A token example of Midland's ability to create authentic, instantly catchy dance music – with a hook that's guaranteed to woo hearts across many dancefloors worldwide.

Marking their debut release on Anjunadeep, esteemed producer and musician Alex Metric teams up with hotly tipped emerging DJ/producer Ten Ven on new groove heavy club weapon ‘Otic’. The British pair individually boast an enviable back catalogue of high profile production credits. Having swiftly become one of the most highly sought after remixers and producers over the past decade, Metric has been called upon by the likes of Depeche Mode, Ellie Goulding and Gorillaz to give his signature spin on their tracks. While Ten Ven has spent recent years making a name for himself in the studio producing for the likes of Dua Lipa and Fenech Solar, he’s also been awarded a steady stream of tastemaker backing for his solo productions from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and Annie Mac along with support from industry heavyweights such as Joris Voorn, Groove Armada and Skream.

Rising talent Tibi Dabo, aka Max Guardans, brings his distinct and eloquent production to Rebellion this Summer with two tracks that will set dance floors alight across the globe. 

Title track La Dorada creates a brooding atmosphere with synths that weave together over industrial drum pads and an intricate, twinkling melody that descends into a crescendo of percussion. No Mantra adds a touch of elegance, with sparkling drum patterns and dreamy keys. Tibi Dabo ​explains that the title track is also the “the name of my childhood home near Barcelona”. By connecting his music and his hometown, or “safe space” as he calls it, he says he “can personally feel a close relationship between the two”. 

Tibi Dabo emerged on the scene with his first release Ende, picked up by Sasha and signed to his renowned imprint, Last Night On Earth. Having made the move from his home of Barcelona to the musical mecca of Berlin, Tibi Dabo creates infectious soundscapes that showcase his ability to conjure up music that plays out an abstract story. Having received a coveted Essential New Tune spot from Radio 1 tastemaker Pete Tong, and now signing to Damian Lazarus’ label, Tibi Dabo’s star is set to rise as he becomes ever-bold in his musical output.

Currently spotted whipping up heat on their own IMPRESSUM imprint, Fideles return to Jennifer Cardini’s label with this beautiful four-track bounty that leads with the epic ‘Brain Machine’. Juiced up with pristine Italo vitality, it’s hooky, addictive and laced with positive charm. It could just be Fideles’ most universal track to date (which is saying something)

‘Brain Machine’ is in good company, too. ‘Conjunction’ is a true cosmic trooper with a breakdown that will turn you to jelly, ‘Glasses’ is a dark and electrode rabbit hole while ‘Blow’ sends us home for the holidays on a flying carpet of blissful synths.

Capturing the current world mood perfectly - the tension, the frustrating pace, the pent-up emotion and that feeling of absolute longing for friends, family, normality to return - 'Safe' is one of the most fitting lockdown soundtracks you'll hear all pandemic.

The latest in a long line of breath-taking emotion-laden hitters (think 'Hi', 'Mantra' and 'Gira' in the last year alone) the unstoppable Monkey Safari roll out an eight minute moment of calm in an otherwise chaotic, uncertain world. Disarming chord progressions, a gradual sense of release and hope and a spoken word sample that will bring many to tears, 'Safe' is one of Monkey Safari's most thoughtful and well-executed tracks to date.

'Just a few months ago, when our lives had not been upside-down yet, we produced 'Safe' as a message of unity, hope, and love. Just a normal day in the studio. But now, in these days of social isolation, it seems 'Safe' represents exactly our feelings when we look at the empty world outside. Sharing emotions is one of our main motivations when producing music and DJing. Getting together, dancing together, smiling together. 'Safe' is full of emotions that we would love to share with everyone.' Monkey Safari.

Sharing is caring: 'Safe' has been subject to so many ID requests since Joris Voorn first started playing it, they've pushed the release forward for us all to enjoy. Stay safe everyone, brighter days will return eventually.

Kobana – not many artists can be quickly recognized after just a few musical notes.

Kobana is definitely one of them thanks to his unique production style. His signature is enclosed in amazing percussion and synth lines, which work together creating synergistic effect. As one of the journalists has put it: “they pop up together so well…”.
 
Kobana’s music journey started around millennium change when he got introduced to basic capabilities of computer recording software and flexibility which only computer workstation can offer.  Since then, he has spent countless hours in his home studio learning production techniques, tweaking and bending the sound, reverse engineering someone else’s music productions, finding out the best use of mastering science and plugins.

The result of his dedication is quickly recognizable in his productions: all sounds create a fantastic harmony that engages the listener and ideally transfers Kobana’s emotions. His skills were quickly recognized and fructified (and still do) in number of collaborations (some of them became an ongoing projects: with Mario Hatchet and Yane3dots, some others were just one off). 

Nowadays Kobana is regarded as one of most talented producers in the progressive house world. 
Top DJs and labels in the industry appreciated his music, his dj sets appeared in the most respectable radio shows.  However, as Kobana used to say: this is only just the beginning. His motto: to deliver quality over quantity remains true.
