PREMIERE: Lucas Moss - Cumacanga (Vlad Arapasu Remix) [RU001]

When a personal spiritual crisis hits, you feel it. It’s confusing, wavy, sad and bad. But when times are changing the pain can give energy gain. This hurricane energy was used to make the Mid Life Crisis.. a concept. It is a song, a music video, club night series and also a Cider called Mid Life Cider. This is somewhat a way for https://soundcloud.com/sexylazer to deal with it. Make fun of it but yet own it 60/60. How to become happy and rich with just 10 minutes of meditation? Relax between your eyes. Always! Insert Coin. Try Again.

Michael Mayer albums don’t come round too often, which is one of many reasons why his fourth collection, The Floor Is Lava, is a genuine event. It’s been eight years since his last one, the collaborative & released on !K7; its predecessors, Mantasy (2012) and Touch (2004), took their sweet time, too. It’s no real surprise, given the many hats Mayer wears – globetrotting DJ, revered remixer, inveterate collaborator, and boss of both Kompakt and Imara – that his solo productions are relatively sparing. But this also speaks to their quality: Mayer’s name on a record sleeve is a sign of quality, of music that’s both looking to the future and calling back to the past, that balances the imperatives of the dancefloor and the loungeroom, that’s as exploratory as it is functional.

On The Floor Is Lava, Mayer seems to be taking the temperature of both the music that surrounds him (past and present), and the ideas of the industry he works within. There’s that iconic album title, for a start. “The album’s mindset,” he says, reflecting on those four words together. For Mayer, it’s partly a critique of the way the industry boxes in both producer and listener, focuses them on genre, on market, on the next new thing: “Being a free minded spirit that transcends genres has become an uphill battle.” A battle worth fighting, though, and with The Floor Is Lava, the result is an album that’s varied, quixotic, idiosyncratic, charming, and deeply, addictively listenable.

Throughout, Mayer finds thrills in exploration and juxtaposition, allowing unexpected things to blossom and giving them their life, their platform, throwing the listener exciting curveballs: “It’s a DJ album by a DJ that’s easily bored.” Either easily bored, or endlessly curious, The Floor Is Lava is rich with ideas. It opens with “The Problem”, which looks back to look forward, embracing the rickety way early house productions threw samples together with gleeful abandon. Mayer mentions Pal Joey, and the scene around Rockers Hi-Fi and their Different Drummer imprint, as reference points, and you can hear that freewheeling spirit throughout.

That’s The Floor Is Lava: then and now, brainwaves and nerve structures, problems and solutions, genres on fire; the real, the unreal, and the surreal. An album for the easily bored and the endlessly curious. Mayer has the last word, telling us all you need to know about the album’s spirit: “Burning for the cause, being zealous, being addicted to the heat of the night, the exuberant powers of music.”

Andromeda [Superordinate Dub Waves]

Treasure Island - LSD (Tkuz rmx)

✨ Mars Shadow – Nemoris ✨

A deeply emotional trance journey, built around haunting female vocals full of echo and reverb, carrying the listener into a cinematic dreamworld.
The track blends melodic trance elements with a nostalgic, atmospheric vibe – a soundscape both powerful and fragile.

Expect wide pads, layered melodies, and a vocal that feels like it’s whispering through space. 🌌
Perfect for dreamers, for late-night listening, and for anyone who wants to feel goosebumps and pure emotion.
