Switching seaside ambience for a sound shaped by inner-city living, Atelier’s second full-length studio album, Lights Towards The Exit, channels the mood of a sleepless cityscape.

Lights Towards The Exit is Atelier’s second full-length studio album. After the release of Varsam Court at the end of 2019 on Lossless, run by mentors and friends Mathias Schober and Thomas Herb, the duo experimented with different ideas in the studio, and at the start of 2020 a common thread began to appear between a few of the tracks which laid the foundation for the sound of their second album.

Both Alexander and Jaś moved to Berlin in the period before the release of Varsam Court from their hometown of Cape Town, South Africa, where their first album was written and recorded. Moving provided some challenges, particularly with what was the most essential equipment to bring from their previous studio set-up, but those limitations proved to be useful in incorporating new instruments and techniques to the recording process.
Lights Towards The Exit was written and recorded in different spaces in Berlin – from bedrooms in apartment blocks to three different studios across the city. The different locations all had a specific ambience – such as 4th- and 5th-floor bedrooms with busy street views; a studio with no windows in a typical old Berlin backyard complex forever under threat of being sold and gentrified; and a bigger studio with windows on the opposite side of the corridor overlooking the backyard of a mechanic workshop. The final details and edits were completed in Atelier’s current studio, in a contrasting area surrounded by office blocks, plazas, 9-5ers and, most importantly, their friends and colleagues.
Swapping the mountains, sea and seclusion for tall buildings, backyards and a new community, Lights Towards The Exit channels the sensation of being surrounded by people, but still feeling like you're on your own. The album was written through three years of cold winters, sweaty summers and a period where the world stood still during the pandemic. Frustrated with the cease of momentum, but still optimistic, Atelier disappeared from public view, abandoning social media to focus on recording, songwriting and experimentation. It was a difficult time: the duo longed to perform and continue producing music, and the imposed limitations sometimes felt like an impossible obstacle. Ultimately, though, this would provide unexpected inspiration and influence the sound and direction of the new album.

The sound of Lights Towards The Exit is not a departure from their first album, but a progression: influenced by the new surroundings in the duo’s adoptive city, Atelier’s second album is an ode to first-time experiences, new languages, challenges, club culture and the shift from youth to maturity, as well as a balm to those stuck somewhere in between. The overall sound is a lift not in tempo, but in energy, matching the openness needed to make a new start in a new place.

Back 2 Back Vol. 5 delivers four standout tracks, each diving into distinct moods and sonic landscapes. From the modern piano house banger Feel by Kotelett & Berny to Derderwenderts nu-disco hybrid I Told You; from the melodic fire of Modelers Gozo to the slow-burning, epic ride of Martino Stefanos Umbungo — this ones for the selectors who love crafting deep journeys on the dancefloor.

After time spent behind the curtain, Murat returns to Isolate with „Making Things With No Stakes“, his first solo release since 2022. This is a record shaped by trust in the process, where each element feels deliberate without being overthought.

There’s a sense of clarity in the production, a balance between sharp, laser-like details and warm, evolving textures. Saw waves stretch across rhythmic foundations, while stabs and shifting LFOs bring motion and contrast. Euphoria rises in subtle waves.

Murat sounds connected, grounded, and curious. Making Things With No Stakes isn’t about stepping back; it’s about moving forward with lightness, guided by instinct and experience.

A thoughtful return and a reminder that when the pressure lifts, expression often becomes more honest.

Summer continues, bringing us the hottest days and shortest nights. To make the most of this solar energy and extend the fun, we have decided to release a new episode of our Texture Mixture series.

To launch this collaborative EP, we are pleased to welcome Alicia Hahn to the label with a track full of radiance and electricity. 'Broken Synths' fits perfectly with the label's DNA and opens this new collection with all the ingredients needed to get us moving on the dance floor till the end of the night.

To see us through to the early hours, your host shares a track with an old friend. 'Mc Mateo', a heady tune that blends swaying rhythms and satisfying sound waves. Here, Remcord and Roze explore the depths of their solid friendship through music. They dedicate this track to their fellow jammer, the non famous Mc Mateo. 
ps : no vocal on this track , the Mc was just standing on the sofa, chilling and rolling. 

What could be more fitting to close this new chapter than the delicate touch of Raphael Piacentino? Having previously appeared with his brother on Texture Mixture 02, he now returns solo with another melodic, bewitching and personal dub track. In short 'ammE' brings this 23rd opus to a close in the most beautiful way.

As usual, all tracks was processed with a lot of love and some of those with a bit of grass.

Meca returns to Watergate Records with a fresh take on his standout two-track "Corre" EP, released earlier this year, now accompanied by two special remixes.

"Corre", Meca’s collaboration with fellow Brazilian Nezello and vocalist Jéssica Gaspar, gets a VIP remix treatment from one of the heavyweights of the house world, a name that’s being kept under wraps for now, but whose signature touch elevates the track’s Latin-infused grooves to new heights.

On the flip, "Opendoors" receives a warm, deep, yet driving reinterpretation from Watergate regular Gorje Hewek, who brings his trademark melodic finesse to the jacking house original.

Both remixes add fresh perspectives while keeping the club-ready spirit of the originals intact, further cementing Meca’s position as one of Brazil’s most exciting exports in the global house scene.
