LUKINS Radio 039 - Fukx

LUKINS returns with a fresh spin on Stil & Bense’s standout track “Strugglin’” — this time featuring two brand-new remixes that reimagine the deep original for the dancefloor.

Out August 1, 2025, Strugglin’ (Remixes) brings together Lucas Aoki and Loutouse, each offering their own unique take on the emotive groove that made the original shine.

First up, Lucas Aoki leans into the Afro House realm with a percussive-heavy version built around rhythmic energy and vibrant piano chords. His remix lifts the track into sun-drenched, tribal territory — tailor-made for daytime parties and warm, outdoor settings.
On the flip side, Loutouse brings a more introspective approach. His remix focuses on melodic depth and atmospheric textures, giving Strugglin’ a dreamy, late-night feel perfect for deeper moments on the dancefloor.
Strugglin’ (Remixes) continues the journey started by Stil & Bense and expanded by Paons. Whether you’re chasing rhythm or reflection, these remixes offer two fresh reasons to keep the original on repeat.

LUKINS proudly presents 7 Layers — the debut collaborative album from Paons & Idaam. Rooted in melodic house and electronica, the album unfolds as a deeply textured journey through seven unique tracks, each one representing a creative layer of emotion, rhythm, and atmosphere.

Both based in Brandenburg, Paons and Idaam are central to the LUKINS collective, known for its community-driven approach to electronic music. Paons is the solo project of Patrick Steppons — DJ, producer, and founder of LUKINS — who brings years of experience and a rich melodic sensibility to the table. Idaam, co-founder of LUKINS and member of the Save Your Culture collective, stands for process over product, drawing on shared studio moments and a sense of ease in creation.

7 Layers reflects the duo’s synergy: a sound shaped by intuition, trust, and curiosity. The album opens with “TKCR & GDBY,” a cinematic, breakbeat-infused track full of tension and tenderness. “A Friend Of Giulia” follows with playful guitar licks and a sunlit groove, while “Low Gravity Moves” takes things to the club — powerful basslines and soaring female vocals define this peak-time moment. On “Shifting Shapes,” a spoken-word passage flows through acid-tinted textures, offering a moodier, cerebral touch. “SYC” brings peace and clarity in the form of warm, melodic electronica, before “Unframed” dives into deeper harmonies with piano-led grooves designed for both dancefloor and introspection. The final track, “Kupferhammer 058,” closes the album on a nostalgic note — with children’s voices, delicate keys, and breakbeat rhythms that leave a lasting emotional impression.

Together, Paons & Idaam have created a debut that’s rich in contrast yet cohesive in tone — a heartfelt, unforced record that invites listeners into an open, emotive space. 7 Layers is out December 5, 2025, on LUKINS
