It's a pleasure to begin our new week with Egypt-born Barcelona-based Raxon as he returns to Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio with another cosmically minded techno EP from which we feature today's edgy broken beat bomb, Input Robot.

Raxon is at the forefront of the melodic techno scene thanks to always well-designed sounds on Diynamic, Kompakt, Cocoon and more. As a DJ, too, he explores an interplanetary sound that has seen him on the billing at influential festivals and clubs worldwide, from DGTL to Resistance Ibiza at Privilege.

He opens this one with the superb 'Input Robot,' a jostling broken techno groove laced up with sleek cosmic chords. Alien life forms live between the beats, and the elastic bass keeps you moving as the track rolls on through a turbulent night sky.

Then comes 'Mantis,' a terrifically twitchy and astral track. Robot vocals are stitched into the mix with turbo-charged synths and a looping bassline over heavy drums. It's the sound of intergalactic warfare with a real sense of electronic funk and cinematic design.

The ‘Input Robot EP’ is another innovative techno exploration from Raxon.

We’re kicking off the new year in style with a fantastic new double header by RAXON. This Egypt-born, barcelonese powerhouse has left his scent marks all over the place in recent years. He has developed an instantly recognizable sound and that’s no small feat in these times shaped by so much formulaic dullness. “Your Fault” sees our Catalan hot shot in an exuberant disco mood. Mind bending chord progressions foiled with Raxon’s trademark vocal stutters guarantee for wonderfully twisted hands in the air moments. With “Beskar” we’re entering Star Wars nerd territory. Jedipedia says, Beskar is a uniquely resistant iron that develops a wide range of properties - and colors - in the hands of skilled metalsmiths. Alright. Musically speaking, we’re dealing with a stealthy, funky as hell trance-not-trance juggernaut. 2024 is off to a good start!

Your Fault

Raxon - Your Fault

The Solution (Priori Mix)

Un souffle qui traverse l’invisible. Pads aériens, textures fines et lumière diffuse créent une sensation de suspension entre deux mondes. Le groove avance doucement, comme un vent sacré qui chuchote des vérités intérieures. Un voyage intime, à la fois léger, hypnotique et profondément émotionnel.

🌬️✨ SACRED AIR / ALBUM

SACRED AIR est un voyage intérieur dédié aux éléments invisibles : le souffle, la lumière, les rêves, la nuit, la terre et le ciel. Chaque track explore une forme différente d’aération spirituelle — du vent qui murmure aux lueurs de l’aube, de la profondeur terrestre à l’ascension céleste.

L’album se déploie comme un rituel moderne :

des basslines chaleureuses,

des percussions organiques,

des pads expansifs,

des textures sacrées,

et une progression émotionnelle lente, cinématique, méditative.

Dans SACRED AIR, chaque morceau est un souffle, un espace, un passage.
Un équilibre entre le terre et l’air, le corps et l’âme, le visible et l’intangible.

C’est une ode à ce qui nous traverse sans que nous puissions le retenir — un hommage à la beauté de ce qui ne se voit pas mais se ressent profondément.

DJ Dozia - Pop Culture (KiNK Mix)

Mark Henning - Exit Acid (feat. Dejan) (Original Mix)

The Soulful Techno king Gabriel Ananda makes his Truesoul debut with a re-master of his 2006 classic ‘Doppelwhipper’. The package also comes with two brand new remixes from Drumcode favourite Marco Faraone and the hotly tipped Layton Giordani. 

The EP opens with Marco Faraone’s remix, which samples Kings of Tomorrow’s ‘KOT Anthem (Soul Vision Remix)’. This takes ‘Doppelwhipper’ to dizzy new heights, keeping the obscure roots of the track and adding a rolling bass line that will bring any dancefloor to sheer hysteria. Next up is a re-master of Ananda’s seminal ‘Doppelwhipper’, a track which has well and truly stood the test of time. A connoisseur of the uncommon, his curious sounds float through almost 10 minutes of pure hedonism. Closing out the package is Layton Giordani’s interpretation of the track that is set to be a firm club favourite. Pounding through the gears, this one will do some real damage.

La Fleur, 'Tears' released as part of Kompakt's SPEICHER series.
Out now on Kompakt: KompaktRecords.lnk.to/Speicher108FA

We open the SPEICHER gates to Swedish export La Fleur. She’s been on a roll with consistent releases for Truesoul, her own Power Plant imprint plus last year’s collaboration with Sasha and an Essential Mix. La Fleur fulfils the difficult matrimony of bridging minimal-house percussion with deep emotive groove on “Tears”. In her own words "I wanted to create a feeling of melancholy, the dreamer wanted this dream to be true and then on waking up realized that it was all just a dream. Hence the vocal, washing my dreams away with tears."
