Duality Trax first opened its books in 2020 with an EP featuring Radiant Love regular Fio Fa and a remix of the year contender coming from Lisbon’s Violet. Since then the label has become known for its acute attention to detail, giving each release the shine it deserves while avoiding disposable practices and challenging the industry through its dedication to duality and balance, whether that be sonically or surrounding gender identity.

It’s really no surprise that one of house music's leading label figures Tywi was destined to make an appearance. Having started the Haŵs imprint in his home city of Cardiff, the label’s wide-spread popularity began to gain the attention from some of the industry’s most respected heads and became a breeding ground for new artists to emerge. A shared love of music resulted in tracks being shared over time and eventually DUALITY6 was born. In what will be his first full length EP, Tywi continues to join the dots between 90’s house, prog, breaks and trance, with a huge remix coming from Frankfurt-based artist Maruwa.

Title track ‘Reality Checkpoint’ connects various styles with a modern take on progressive trance. Sonics feel as if they’ve been projected from space in a kaleidoscopic mind-warping ride, coupled with the producer's impressive ear for world building soundscapes. A child of the ‘90s, Maruwa combines her classically trained ear with the nostalgia of her upbringing in the remix; channeling early trance records and deep, chugging rhythms into a wave of euphoria fit for peak-time. It’s the first time the label has also delved head first into full trance territory, turning the intensity levels up while paying homage to both label owner and artist’s early musical influences.

The B side opens up with ‘Spellbound’ which feels like a guided tour around the cosmos, sat beside trusted travelers and embraced by everything-will-be-alright energy . The track’s interior is built around synths that feel both effortless and light as our tour guide brings us towards our final destination. The EP comes to a close with ‘Laws Of Motion’, building slowly with shades of leafy greens and deep oceanic blues as it gently brings us back down to earth.

Light Blue File (LBF Records/Distrikt Paris/BinarySound)

Light Blue File (Santiago Parodi) is part of a new generation of Argentinian artists who are steadily carving out an international reputation through their personal interpretation of underground electronic music. Born in Patagonia and now based in Buenos Aires, his sound is defined by hypnotic grooves, deep atmospheres and striking vocal edits that carry a distinctive sense of storytelling. Versatile and refined, Light Blue File feels equally at home warming up, driving peak hours, or closing after-hours sessions, always balancing precision with raw energy.

His musical journey began as a teenager experimenting with production and releasing on SoundCloud, Beatport and independent labels. By 2022, he closed a chapter under his former alias Santierri and embraced a more mature identity as Light Blue File, a project that rapidly gained recognition both locally and abroad. In 2024, he embarked on his first Europe Tour with dates in Paris, Ukraine, Marseille and Barcelona, setting the foundation for what was to come.

2025 marked a major breakthrough: an extensive tour across France, Spain, the UK, Morocco and Tunisia, with standout appearances alongside HearThuG and Voigtmann, and performances at iconic venues and festivals including Lion & Lamb (London), Cocoon (Tunisia), L’Envers (Marrakech) and Essaouira Supervibe (Morocco), plus an infiltration on Olympiad Festival line up, being invited to play by both HearThuG and the BinarySound Crew. During this period, he also collaborated with Occibel on an EP (PlayFool, 2025) and secured forthcoming vinyl releases on Are You Alien (HearThuG) and Subsequent (Voigtmann). His sets and productions have become regular fixtures across the global underground circuit, with HearThuG describing their B2B as one of his best in recent years, and Voigtmann naming him in a Houghton Festival interview as “a producer to watch.”

Currently, Light Blue File is preparing the launch of his own imprint, LBF Records, consolidating his vision as both an artist and curator. Standing at the forefront of a new Argentinian wave, he continues to bring local culture into dialogue with a wider international ecosystem — open, diverse, and collaborative.
