A quarter into the century, Swedish producer-DJ-song writer Johan Blende has found his passion for making music again. With a record out last year on Sweden label Studio Barnhus, forthcoming releases on some of Europe’s leading electronic music record labels and more material in the bag than ever before, 2025 is oﬀ to a bright start. During the 2010s he was enjoying success releasing records mainly on Belgian disco label Eskimo Recordings collaborating with singers Mattie Safer, Gustaph, Kelli-Leigh,

Mickael Karkousse & Rebecca Scheja, along with remixing a variety of acts such as Lana Del Rey, Ms Dynamite & DJ Fresh, Korn, Skrillex, Goose and Klaxons, producing for bands like Fenech Soler & Le Galaxie and playing records in nightclubs across Europe, the US and Asia. To follow, a long overdue break was needed in order to explore things

outside music further and to try and get his inspiration back, a break which is now coming to an end.

Born in Stockholm he currently resides in warmer climates down south in Athens, Greece. The long love for all things disco is still there to be heard but the new material is also expanding on his more eclectic & electronic music roots whilst also slowly getting back into his first love in music craftsmanship that dates back all the way to the mid ‘90s

- DJ-ing.

Johan Blende - Kosmos EP

You might know Ben Evers as one half of Adana Twins – but now he’s stepping out solo again, and stepping up. Fueled by the raw energy of electronic music and a deep connection to the dancefloor, Ben blends house, R&B and hip hop influences into a sound that’s both emotional and powerful. Years on the global circuit as a DJ, plus serious studio chops, have shaped him into a truly versatile artist with his own voice and vision.
This release marks a new chapter – a personal statement wrapped in rhythm, built for big rooms and intimate spaces alike. It’s Ben in full control, letting the vibe unfold with every beat.

Joining the ride is Anna Schreit – a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for her fluid style and deep musical roots.
Raised on her father’s art rock and shaped by both the raw pulse of Berlin’s underground and her formative time in Munich, Anna has carved out a name for herself with genre-bending sets and a fearless approach to house and beyond. A resident at Sisyphos, she brings her own flavour to the release with a killer remix that hits just right – slick, unrelenting, and dripping with intent.
A heavyweight collab from two artists who know exactly where they’re going – and aren’t afraid to take the scenic route.

Ben Evers - One Touch / Pon De Vibe

Anna Schreit is a Berlin-born DJ and producer known for sets that cut across genres with a mix of groove, grit, and edge. Growing up in a musical household – her father the frontman of East Germany’s cult art-rock band Stern Combo Meissen – music was never just background. For Anna, it was a way to make sense of things.

Raised in the middle of Berlin’s techno scene, it wasn’t until a night out in Munich that things really clicked: a chance encounter with house music lit the fuse. The rhythm, the warmth – it stuck. From there, she dove deep into sound.

Since 2012, she’s been building sets that go beyond the obvious. From sunrise slots at Sisyphos, to stripped-back live streams on HÖR or The Lot Radio, to records like her Duck EP on Compost, Anna brings a sound that’s raw, grounded, and unmistakably her.

One highlight: her ARTE Concerts set – a moment that took her sound to a wider audience without losing its edge. As a resident at Sisyphos, she’s become a steady presence in Berlin’s underground – not chasing trends, just playing with intent.

You might know Ben Evers from Adana Twins – but this one's all him. Stepping out solo, he’s dialled in a sound that hits hard and stays with you. His remix? A peak-time weapon. Tight arrangement, proper weight, and a sonic punch that could rattle the mainstage. Every detail locked in – made for the floor, no fillers.

Music flows like a river. It finds its path, connects places, people and stories. This is how Late Night Swim was born, on the banks of the Elbe where Wareika shaped their rhythms. Three alchemists of sound who weave jazz, dub and house into a current that makes the invisible tangible.
The journey flows to the Seine, where dOP joins with voice and words. Two rivers, two cities, five artists creating one sound. Late Night Swim is a dive between dream and reality, music that moves across borders and turns friendship into sound.

Every river has its tributaries, and so three remixes carry the stream into new directions.
Lee Curtiss rises from Detroit with playful and sensual sound. As a founding force of Visionquest he has shaped the electronic landscape with releases on Spectral, Get Physical and Wolf and Lamb. His remixes move with charm and wit, seductive currents that invite and surprise.
Crihan, born in Transylvania and refined in Bucharest, has carved his path since 2004. With more than sixty vinyl releases under names such as Crihan, Discret Popescu and Modest Ionescu, he is known for subtle experimentation and hypnotic precision. His remix unfolds like a river delta, intricate, layered and always in motion.
From Jena come HCHx, four sonic travelers shaped by the Saale as it flows into the Elbe. Their music moves between house and experimental textures, both driving and ethereal, carried by contrasts of pulse and reflection, light and shadow. Their remix is waves that rise and return until they merge into one vast current where time and space dissolve.
And just as every river finally meets the sea, this release finds its way to the North, where all waters join and become one. Late Night Swim is not only a track, it is a journey. A stream to let yourself fall into.

Wareika & dOP - Late Night Swim

„Tutto passa, ma nulla si perde.“

Few sentences capture the essence of Italian-Venezuelan artist Ricardo Baez better than this. Born and raised in Florence, he has become one of the most compelling bridges between club culture, emotion, and identity. With his debut album Tutto Passa, Ricardo distilled his musical and personal journey into a work that is at once introspective, universal, and profoundly human.
Baez’s story begins in a family where music was never secondary: his Italian father, a collector of old blues and jazz records, and his Venezuelan mother, who accompanied dance classes with 1980s pop cassettes. This blend of melancholy, rhythm, and nostalgia forms the DNA of his sound. Yet for Baez, music is never an archive – it is movement.

This ethos runs like a red thread through his work. As a DJ, producer, and founder of the legendary Florentine party series Tropical Animals (since 2010), he stands for openness, curiosity, and a sound that blurs boundaries.

Ricardo Baez exemplifies a generation of artists who see music as a mirror of inner motion. He moves between studio and dancefloor, Florence and Berlin, emotion and structure – always searching for what remains when everything changes.

His new release, LTMP / Some Days Are Suspicious, continues this exploration. Staying true to the themes of his musical DNA, Baez fuses influences from breakbeat, house, and deep house into a layered, meticulously arranged work. Nothing is accidental – every sound is deliberate, every layer tells a story. Once again, Ricardo Baez demonstrates that change is not a contradiction, but the driving force behind true creativity.

The visual identity of LTMP / Some Days Are Suspicious was created by Konstantin Fürchtegott Kipfmüller, a visual artist studying at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach under Heiner Blum. His practice centers on subtractive painting—a process in which color is not applied, but removed. By scraping away layers of monochrome pigment, Kipfmüller reveals unexpected spatial dimensions and textures beneath the surface. Deeply influenced by the urban environment, his work transforms traces of decay, weather, and time into abstract visual narratives. The cover thus mirrors Baez’s own musical exploration: both uncover hidden layers, both search for meaning in what remains.

Here we go again! The return of the Greek DJ and production duo Boys' Shorts - this time in remixed form!
»On The High Line« and »Dark Room Rendez-Vous« from their first ever release for LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON get the remix treatment for even more Boys' Shorts dancefloor mayhem.
First up is Romain FX with his »Pressure Remix« of »On The High Line« and the title gives a hint to Romain's approach: He indeed adds a bit more pressure stripping down the former 80ties fueled track by adding a big big bass line thus achieving a more concentrated punch in general. By keeping DJ City's beautiful cool vocals for their remix they manage to keep the same lascivious quality you find in the original version. We say: Mission accomplished.
The next ones are a real "All in"! Jason nocturne doubles his stake straight away! Two versions for you! Keep it rollin' "On The Highline", or do you like it more acidic? The choice is yours!
Former Chicago-raised and socialized DJ and producer Alinka is next with her version of »Dark Room Rendez-Vous«. We're happy the Ukrainian-born and now Berlin resident Alinka is back for LARJ twisting the knobs just the right way transforming the track into a straighter and slightly darker monster the original instrumental already is. It's a winner, thank you Alinka!
We stay with the same track but now it's Mala Ika's turn. The French producer originally from Guadeloupe throws in a deeper bass drum into her remix and holds this extra energy over the whole six minutes. Mala Ika also adds a happy little synth melody that transforms this typical dark tune into a joyous yet still dark track.
All in all these three remixes can be seen as a beautiful supplement to Boys' Shorts original outing and will definitely find their way to the clubs all over the world.

This Is Your Time! Vol.44 - RKJVK & Kat Davids

It’s not easy ploughing a furrow that ain’t already been ploughed in dance music, but Tim Paris makes it look easy.  Nestling somewhere between the sideways slant of a sepia Sunday morning and the electrostatic seduction of a Saturday night, Tim has carved out a cultural niche that is his, and his alone. 

Through his label Marketing Music, Tim has spent years pushing out some of the most distinctive and unconventional house records around. His long-standing collaboration with Ivan Smagghe as It’s a Fine Line is a testament to his ongoing hunt for the unexpected – always a step away from the obvious.

His own productions stretch from the fiercely original (It’s a Fine Line – Woman) to the beautifully restrained (Outback, Stones & Vinyl), and his remixes – for the likes of Metronomy, Polo & Pan, The XX, Silicone Soul, Salif Keita, and Telepopmusik – show a producer who never plays it safe.

Off the dancefloor, he’s made just as much noise: over 50 international performances with Belgian choreographer Nicolas Musin, plus work for France TV, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and the Philharmonie de Paris have all borne his unmistakable sonic fingerprint.

Now, Tim’s back with a new solo release on Live at Robert Johnson – That Boy. A return to the club, yes, but also a reflection of everything he’s soaked up along the way. Rough-edged, refined, and unmistakably Tim Paris.

"Recorded at Robert Johnson on the 8th of November in 2014, this mix is a mix (tautology!) of ambient appetizers, typical starter records, dance floor advances, introspective interludes and a slow approach to debauchery that followed. Or to be intellectually more lowbrow or honest and to prevent a sophomore essay about the art of the warm up: music that sounds good at the start. Thank you for listening." Gerd Janson
