Matt' Radio Slave' Edwards and Joel Martin's critically acclaimed Quiet Village project follow-up, 2024's 'Reunion' with the Vanessa Daou collaboration, 'Naked Hunger' on September 5th, '25.

'Naked Hunger', which comes in 'Vocal Mix' and 'Spoken Word Mix' versions, sees Quiet Village employ their hypnotic sensibilities to one of house music's most tantalising vocal talents in Daou, resulting in a mid-tempo house cut that completely envelops.

While the vocal mix of 'Naked Hunger' leans into the interplay between Vanessa Daou's cosseting song voice and spoken vocals, with the rest of the track embracing a subtly dubby ethereal musicality, Quiet Village ramp up the instrumentation on the 'Spoken Vocal' version with bass guitar and piano flourishes accompanying her sultry poetic delivery.

'Naked Hunger', Daou's first collaboration with Quiet Village, marks her first release since 2019's 'Little Black Dress'.

Throughout her illustrious career, the acclaimed three-time #1 Billboard Dance Chart topper has collaborated with Danny Tenaglia, David Morales, Mood II Swing, Ralphi Rosario, Terry Farley (Farley & Heller), Charles Webster, Horse Meat Disco's Severino Panzetta, Hifi Sean, and Eli Escobar.

Friends since meeting at Goldie's legendary MetalHeadz sessions at London's Blue Note in the '90s, Quiet Village, aka Matt Edwards and Joel Martin, began releasing their brand of dubbed-out, balearic-and-beyond tracks in 2005 via NYC's Whatever We Want Records. The duo's 2008 'Silent Movie' LP was a critical smash hit that resulted in remix commissions for the likes of Bryan Ferry, The Gorillas, Leftfield, Francois K, Massive Attack and many more.

After a few years in the wilderness, unable to use their nom de plume due to contractual restrictions, the pair launched The Quiet Village label in 2024 with 'Reunion', a stunning 6/8 time urban jazz odyssey, a favourite of the likes of Luke Una, Gilles Peterson and Ryan Elliott.

Michael Mayer, aka Mr. Lava Lava asked a bunch of his absolute favourite artists to have a go at some of the tracks from his recent album 'The Floor Is Lava'. First up is Barcelona's brightest flame, RAXON, who is melting 'Brainwave 2.0' into a stompin fun-filled primetime banger. Longtime collaborator DAVE DK is a masterful producer and remixer that appears regularly on Pampa and Kompakt. His take on 'The Solution' feels like a road trip to paradise and back. Montreal's PRIORI is one of the hottest names in showbiz right now. His ability to bridge genres and create pristine sound designs is fully on display in his remix for 'The Solution'. Last but not least, the legend that is SEBASTIAN MULLAERT took a moment off from his revered Circle Of Live jams to transform the albums deepest cut 'Ardor' into an extraordinary musical journey. Oldschool Border Community vibes in the rebound!

The steely, almost industrial sounding percussions in the intro to HARDT ANTOINE’s new single “Let Me Go” are truly amongst the most unusual and yet highly effective grooves we’ve heard this summer. With every added layer Antoine manages to stir up new emotions and intensifies the levels of deepness and soulfulness. “Let Me Go” ticks all the boxes to become one of the most recognizable and cherished tunes of the season and is already getting heavy support from all the usual suspects.

Let Me Go (Extended Version)

Hardt Antoine - Let Me Go (Extended Version)

Originally released in 1993 Love Stimulation stands among the most influential works by Humate, the Hamburg-based project. This release gathers all official versions and remixes, including the celebrated Paul van Dyk “Love Mix”, co-produced with Frerichs, a version that became a defining club moment of the decade and reached #18 in the UK Singles Chart in 1999.

Through the mid 90s, Humate enhanced the sound of Superstition Records with forward looking releases like 3.1, The Sound, Choose Life and Vivid. Love Stimulation marks the peak of that creative run, a track that continues to appear in “all time classic” lists and still moves dancefloors over 30 years later.

This one first appeared on Flying Circus, a short-lived Superstition offshoot from back in the day. Now it returns home under the Superstition Records banner.

There’s a certain grace in consistency - and few embody it quite like Phil Evans. As the founder of Pager Records, he’s quietly shaped the sound of contemporary House with a signature blend of warmth, precision, and forward-thinking groove. Over the years, Evans has turned Pager into a breeding ground for refined producers such as Vitess, Christian Sarde, and Tiago Walter, but "E-Motions" feels like his defining statement: a double LP that doesn’t just compile tracks, but unfolds as a full-scale listening experience - equal parts club weaponry and emotional introspection.

“Vibe” rounds out the C-side in slightly leftfield territory. Warped textures and curious sound fragments interact with a steady, grounded groove. It’s weird in the best way - a gentle reminder that experimentation and functionality can still dance together without friction.
