Belgian artist B1980 returns to Zone with a rugged four tracker designed to rip up the dance floor.
B1980 is respected producer and musician Bert Libeert and is best known as the drummer of
electro-rock band GOOSE. This project sees him focus on his love of EBM and techno with influences
taken from new beat and Belgian legends like Front242. His aim is to bring the spontaneity of live music
back to clubs, armed with just two synths and two drum machines. Says the artist, "music is not all
about technique or knowledge, it’s about expressing your personality and style." He sure backs that up
here.
'Quiet Confidence' opens in blistering style with jacked up drums and a warped bassline. Steely
textures and twitchy synths bring the twisted electro-techno track alive as the tension bubbles and
boils throughout. 'Hooded Figure' is a more straight up banger with lashings of synth peeling off the
groove, eerie pads and brain-frying bass all working the dance floor into a state of chaos. 'Modeling
Minds' slows things down to a predatory and heavyweight crawl, with spangled synth patterns and
supersized hi hats all conveying an epic sense of battle to come. The visceral closer is 'Body Dancer'
with its sheet metal drums, yearning vocal cries and stiff bass loops all making for a macho and moody
sound.
These are brilliantly muscular yet musical tracks that bring real terror to the dance floor.

Tracklist:
01 Quiet Confidence
02 Hooded Figure
03 Modeling Minds
04 Body Dancing

Black Light Smoke fuses techno, EBM and post-punk on his Brain Dead EP, backed with a remix from Alessandro Adriani.

Black Light Smoke combines weighty drums and analog synths on four tracks with a common thread: the use of his own warped vocals. From the cowbell rhythms and suspenseful pads of ‘Brain Dead’ to the hard-hitting bleeps of ‘Nailed to the Ground’, he infuses his tracks with a rare character, quality and flair. The release also comes with a remix from Mannequin Records boss Alessandro Adriani, whose expertise sees him turn ‘Machines Don’t Love’ into a staggering EBM track.

Daytime Emmy-winning producer and songwriter Jordan Lieb aka Black Light Smoke has racked up releases on Scissor & Thread, Voodoo Down, Nein Records and his own Death Decay Magic. Known for his world-renowned sets featuring live vocals and his productions both in- and outside of electronic music, he’s undoubtedly an artist in a class of his own.

02 Earthquake
03 Machines Don’t Love

"Ah si si" is a blend of EBM and italo disco, where taut grooves flirt with a bittersweet melancholy tinged with 80s hues. At once an invitation to dance and an introspective dive, the track plays with contrasts — between rhythmic tension and nostalgia.

The voice, sensual and slightly enigmatic, acts as a guiding thread: it ties the influences together, blurs the lines, and gives the whole piece a cohesion that makes it effortlessly ready for the dancefloor.
The italo disco elements are a deliberate nod to Camilliani’s Italian roots and his deep attachment to that musical culture.


Camilliani is no newcomer. In 2007, he made his debut with Pervert Teen, an electro EP released under the name Chairs on Backs, a duo with Yan Wagner on the Missive label. Two years later, he went solo with Fucking Day, a more radical techno EP under the alias Swaan, on Estrella Rec.

After a long hiatus, he returns under a new identity, Camilliani, and unveils Ah si si, his third project.

INCOMING : Breezy S - Let`s Fly (Vamos A Volar) #LiquidPalms

Under a former alias, The Liquid Dude has long been a fixture in the electronic scene, collaborating with artists such as Emanuel Satie, Leif, and Lehar, among others. He has played all over the world, including at Detroit's legendary TV Lounge, and also scores for film. His work has won international awards such as Best Film at the 22nd Wildlife Vaasa Film Festival in Finland and Best Documentary at the 5th MADRIFF. He has directed independent films, music videos, commercials, and creative fashion and art photoshoot sessions, and blends visual and musical storytelling with a distinct artistic vision

After a 12-year hiatus from the DJ circuit, he's back with fresh energy and perspective for this new album and an immersive event series, Into the Hole. Early bookings at high-profile venues like Eden in Ibiza have started this new chapter with a bang, and this new album is only set to take him to new levels once more. It arrives on the newly launched Liquid Freaks label, which, since 2023, has been an event series run by a highly experienced group keen to revive the raw spirit of the early warehouse scene.

Says the artist, "What you'll hear isn't nostalgia, it's a disassembled memory rebuilt from frequencies and mild paranoia. It's the echo of someone who once lived inside the scene, then slipped out quietly when it stopped making sense. Not a tribute, a confrontation. A cracked mirror held up to a culture that once moved bodies and minds."

Opener 'Skip This' begins with atmospheric synth modulation, textured smears, and curious melodies before 'Nipponacidfunk' delivers a twisted house workout with funky drumming and screwy 303s laced with Japanese spoken words. The singular sounds continue on the pressurised and winky acid madness of 'Shakyshaky', while 'Botox Love' is an oﬀ-grid rhythm with unhinged synths and flaming breakbeats, warped vocals and acid flashes that take you to the heart of a strobe-lit warehouse. 'Freaking Freaks' brings old school piano energy to new school club rhythms and 'Digital Dopamine' is tripped out afterparty electro with aliens controlling the machines. There is a more introverted feel to the plunging bass and melancholic chords of 'Indigestion' before closer 'The Old Days' pairs warm summer synths with spoken word musings and elastic rhythms.

The Liquid Dude's ‘Can I Music?’ debuts on Liquid Freaks on September 5, 2025.

Having established himself as one of the most exciting contemporary dance producers with a string of stellar EPs and LP HENSA, Japanese producer boys be kko returns triumphantly with the Nagasawa EP, four floor cuts bursting with emotion, shimmering in Tokyo technicolor, and perfectly at home on Bliss Point.

Nagasawa kicks off with a bang. “ChuKii” is a peak time heater: breaks, chopped vocals and punchy toms sear over a low end groove that proves body music can funk. Melodic acid explodes like a firework mid-track, taking the dance floor to psychedelic new heights.

The club psychedelia continues with “Mold Mold”, a minimal, subterranean system roller adorned with swells, bells, and deep, guttural growls dubbed to the vanishing point.

“Sant Esteve (kko Edit)” is melancholic and contemplative jazz house, eschewing cliché and twinging with nostalgia for that moment you felt most free.

“Humor is an important part of my music”, boys be kko reflected over lunch as Izakaya smoke billowed past his face. “Oignon”, the fourth and final track on Nagasawa, is an airy and joyful cut of sampledelia that makes good on this promise. An enormous smile of a track sending listeners off with a slice of sonic sunshine and, dare we say, hope.

Bliss Point is proud to welcome boys be kko to the label, and to share with you this incredibly special music.

Nagasawa will be available digitally and on limited edition 12” vinyl Friday, September 5.

New Release Incoming on Riotvan! And it’s someone we already hold close to our hearts. After making serious noise on our last compilation, we’re beyond stoked to finally present a full EP by none other than Mufti.

This time, the Mexican producer dives into darker, more house-infused territory, an unexpected turn that hits just right. Think late-night haze meets early morning bliss: a heady mix of acid, house, dark wave, and a whisper of romantic melancholy, all wrapped in a sound that feels unmistakably now. We’ve been hooked from first listen, and trust us, you will be too. Mufti is in the house.

To top it off: Gallegos leaves his unmistakable signature on the record with a remix of “Lovers Everywhere”. What a remix. Seriously!

Feel Fly, the alias of Perugia-based producer Daniele Tomassini, a visionary force in Italy’s electronic music scene and co-founder of Afro Templum, debuts on Taste Rec. with his new EP.

Titled "Festina Lente", an old Latin saying that means "make haste slowly", this deep work invites listeners to surrender to dance, movement, and the flow of energy in a timeless space, untouched by the idea of an ending. It's sincere and atmospheric, moving through the artist’s musical roots: progressive sounds, cosmic moods and a touch of lightness drawn from Italian dance culture.
The release blends carefully sacred, dreamy visions with raw rhythmic sequences and warm synthesized basslines: magical.

A futuristic soundtrack for an ancient ritual.

The A-side opens with the title track: spacious arpeggios and dreamy textures create a soundscape that invites you to get lost in the music, a tribute to the carefree spirit of the ’90s. "Techla" follows with a more minimal, introspective vibe. Its hypnotic bassline feels like a journey into the unknown.

The B-side starts with "Somo", a bright and catchy track full of sunny melodies and feel-good energy, evoking Italo disco moods. Finally, "Flusso Libero" closes the EP with elegance and depth. It features a unique vocal sample that stands out in Feel Fly’s style, tying everything together with a nod to ’90s nostalgia.

PREMIERE : Feel Fly - Flusso Libero

In a small, aging factory nestled between rusted warehouses, the machines groaned under the weight of decades of labour.

However, there was one machine—an old lathe—who refused to surrender. At first, it creaked and sputtered when the new software was installed, its wheels grinding against the sleek interface. But as the new technology clicked and whirred around it, something extraordinary happened: the lathe began to adapt.

It shimmered beneath the glow of the floodlights.

The adaptation had begun.

JKriv channels deep grooves on a new EP for Rocksteady Disco – a stellar EP reminding us of the good old days of house, funk and disco. This one’s got soul.

🛒 https://oathcreations.lnk.to/FromEarth

London-based DJ duo, producers, and curators Earthly Measures announce their debut EP, ‘FROM EARTH’, landing August 8 via Oath. The six-track release is a vibrant statement of intent: a celebration of rhythm, collaboration, and borderless sound.

Leading the EP is the electrifying first single ‘QUE?’, featuring Colombian artist OKRAA. It’s a kinetic fusion of Afro-Latin percussion, live textures, and UK breakbeat energy, anchored by a looping Fela Kuti sample that pulses like a heartbeat through the track. A psychedelic, bass-heavy trip built for movement.

Across ‘FROM EARTH’, Earthly Measures chart a path through deep grooves, organic instrumentation, and global club culture. Each track is shaped by cross-continental collaboration:

‘THIRD TRY’, created with Chile’s DJ Raff, is a hypnotic, slow-burning roller that blends warped synths, sub-heavy basslines, and Latin rhythmic sensibilities with mystical restraint.

“EARTH GROOVE”, made with Argentinian producer Balam, hums with ancestral echoes and future-facing energy: a ritualistic low-end meditation finally emerging from their archives.

The EP also includes three powerful remixes that reimagine the originals through fresh lenses:

Berlin-based Olsvangèr brings a dubbed-out, textural warmth to ‘QUE?’ with his Wildwood Dub.

Sun Sone’s remix of ‘THIRD TRY’ leans into bright percussion and open-air energy.

Jinje closes the journey with a kaleidoscopic, peak-time rework of ‘EARTH GROOVE’, lifting it into euphoric new terrain.

As longtime champions of globally inspired dance music, Earthly Measures have spent years cultivating a platform where sounds from across the planet collide — whether through their label, DJ sets, or live showcases. Now, with ‘FROM EARTH’, they step into the spotlight as artists, weaving together the rhythms and textures they’ve championed into a cohesive, forward-facing release.

FROM EARTH is an offering to the dancefloor and beyond, a reflection of connection, community, and deep respect for sound rooted in nature. It marks a milestone moment for Earthly Measures and a powerful new chapter in their journey. 

Tracklist:

Earthly Measures & OKRAA – Que?

THE HACKER- Mind Games

DynArec channels Detroit musical history through his own French perspective on a superb new EP for Zone.
Despite making music since 1994, DynArec didn’t release any of it until a decade later. It landed on cult techno label Delsin and since then he has honed in on his own brand of Drexcyian electro over the course of EPs and LPs that have been supported by giants such as Laurent Garnier and Dave Clarke. Here his tough beats but heartfelt harmonies shine through once more.
First out of the blocks is ‘Toi_Moi’ with well swung drums run through by frazzled bass. Tinny metal hits and a dehumanised vocal bring the heat as the whole thing builds to a tense and frantic peak that will blow up the club. The excellent ’Archeologist Assassin’ is a much more twisted and freeform track with hard hitting drums and prickly synths making for a turbulent trip.
It is next cut ‘Target De Down’ that is the most frenetic, with its whirring stabs and machine gun lasers whipping up a real storm on the floor. Bringing a tripped out and off-kilter vibe is ‘Focussed’ with its crashing hits, incessant bass and popping keys all jerking you into action.
This is tense, industrial tinged electro that is perfect for strobe lit club settings.

Zone welcomes CT Kidobó to the label this February, as he prepares to release the first instalment of
‘Impulse & Inhibition’.
Budapest-based DJ and producer CT Kidobó has been experimenting with electronic music for the last
decade, releasing early material on Molecule’s Mille Feuilles imprint under his Das Model moniker and
gaining support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jimmy Edgar and Arnaud Rebotini. The last few years
have seen his CT Kidobo project appear on the likes of Earth Plates and Dalmata Daniel with an obviously
growing appetite for his uniquely evocative productions. As a DJ his reputation is ever expanding and in his
native Hungary he has shared the stage with the like of Kevin Saunderson, Cardopusher, Textasy and
Gnork.
Now CT Kidobo joins forces with the ever-excellent Zone label from Paris for a four track Ep orientated
around a laidback, daytime sound, with plans for a darker, ‘sounds of the night’ chapter planned for the
months ahead. The electrifying opener ‘Bipolar’ is a deep and alluring affair, fueled by bright synth lines,
warm bass sequences and enchanting vocals, which all come together for this uplifting gem. Next up, ‘Death
of Postmodernism’ lowers the tempo and pairs distorted frequencies with sparkling effects and hypnotic
percussion. ‘Paris’ unveils a nostalgic driven slice of electronic music, as we see CT Kidobó work euphoric
chords against brooding electro rhythms and blissful sonics. To close, the cutting edge ‘Vertigo’ is an
infectious and exhilarating cut which showcases yet another side to his diverse and extensive sound.
CT Kidobo’s ‘Impulse & Inhibitions - Part 1’ drops on Zone on 18th February.
