German producer Tilman puts his personal spin on Sharon Redd’s classic Activate, delivering two distinct reworks that both nod to the roots of house music while offering fresh dancefloor appeal.

The Metro Mix channels early proto house energy – raw and driving with a no-frills groove that brings out the track’s underground potential. A tribute to stripped-back club tools with just the right amount of grit.

Meanwhile, the Paradise Mix smooths things out, layering warm pads, flowing piano chords and mellow grooves into a deep house rework that feels timeless and inviting.
Both mixes highlight Tilman’s instinct for balance – between function and feeling, rhythm and harmony – and reimagine Activate with care, character, and club awareness.

Big room techno maestro and melancholic selector "Works Of Intent" joins forces with model and lyricist "Gray" to deliver this scintillating slice of New York House homage.

The original 1988 copy is a dry witted take on the realities of the American dream, and the pursuit for fame and fortune. A working class cabbie with dreams of being a singer, has to take the train from New Jersey just to drive his cab. His passenger, an aspiring model with an unconvincing British accent is in town and headed straight to the Vogue building. “Because, that’s where the money’s at.”

The two artists first met in the corridors of SoundCloud. Works had an appreciation of the Techno / Afro House fusion mixes of Gray and she had reciprocal respect for Works’ arp driven, “Big Room” oddities. After an exchange of emails and a gifting of freshly pressed cuts from the hit factory, Gray surprised Works with a vocal rendition of “Winning Dulls The Pain” that blew his proverbial socks off. Since then they’ve been scheming a global formulated takeover.

The pair rework the digger's classic into a modern dancefloor workout, "Gotta Get That Money (Classic Mix)" offers a fresh coat of paint, lyrically exploring a new backstory while meticulously preserving that quintessential vinyl crackle.

The release is paired with "Gotta Get That Money (Big Money Mix)," a typically huge alternate version designed for the superstar DJs whose hands it will inevitably find itself in. With arena rattling subs and ketamine crisis inducing synth lines that rear their ugly head in the last half.

It's sleek, it's sexy, and it oozes early 90s chic.

PREMIERE: Das Komplex - Stridulate Me

Hi Leute,

Ich hatte so eine RIESEN Gaudi dieses Jahr auf der Blechsonne spielen zu dürfen. Daher habe ich den 2. Teil meines 2h Sets (20:30:22:30) von der Ignaz Stage daheim nochmal re-recorded. Nachdem ich die erste Stunde 70s und 80s Disco- und AfroFunk aufgelegt habe, ging es dann beim Sonnenuntergang in House über. Das Set wandert durch die verschiedenen House Genre die ich gern spiele. Funky House, Deep House, Classic House und als es dann dunkel & Nacht wurde... Minimal House, Acid und Tech House. Viel Spaß <3

Olf @ Blechsonne 25 (Ignaz Stage)

Artist: T Sounds ft Britani Humphries 
Track: Hard to Find 
Release title: 0191 EP
Label: Inhale Exhale
Release date: 07-Nov-25

The dancefloor takes a deep breath with this new EP on Inhale Exhale. Fusing low-slung funk grooves, warm basslines and crisp percussion, its a release that speaks to both heads and hips. Each track blends deep textures with playful energy, balancing hypnotic rhythms and late-night drive with a touch of soulful flair. Built for the club but rich in detail, this is house music that invites you to lose yourself and move.

PREMIERE: T Sounds ft Britani Humphries - Hard to Find [Inhale Exhale]

The ever-reliable TC80 returns with a dose of club-sharpened futurism, this time landing on the Algerian label Duckit for its fourth vinyl instalment. With previous releases featuring RSlane, sEmoa and Franck Roger, the imprint has been quietly carving out its own lane, favouring stripped, groove-tight techno with flashes of colour. TC80 fits naturally into that world, but brings his unmistakable synth craftsmanship to deepen the palette. [continue reading at...

Pre-order: https://worldofworlds.bandcamp.com/album/freak-your-fit

The first release on @eoindj's new imprint @worldofworldsmusic welcomes queen of contemporary club tracks, master DJ and producer @maruwa1 to the imprint with five-track EP 'Freak Your Fit'.

On 'Oh me, Oh my', a lustrous topline is dubbed out over unctuous drums and modulated basslines that subtly build and release tension over the entire track. The mood? An irresistibly poppy and unapologetically sensual club hit.

There’s a rare tenderness to the way Byron The Aquarius makes house music. Across every release, the Alabama-born producer brings a deep sense of humanity - chords that breathe, basslines that sway, and melodies that seem to remember. On 'One of a Kind (Love Affair)', his debut for Hard Times, that emotional clarity shines through once again.

A master of the keys with a discography that spans Eglo, Signature, Apron, Axis, and more recently Skylax and Star Creature, Byron has long blurred the boundaries between jazz, soul, and machine groove. Here, he builds four tracks that each glow with feeling and finesse.

‘A New Life' opens with uplift and propulsion - crisp kicks and fluid sax lines circling around tender vocal refrains. 'The Last Mile of the Way' drifts inward, its spoken-word cadence and pulsing rhythm turning reflection into hypnosis. On the flip, 'I Be Like Dat' pushes forward with a tougher, more percussive edge. A laser-guided club moment that still hums with soul. Finally, '4 Mike Huckaby' closes the record as both elegy and celebration: shakers, muted horns, and shimmering keys floating in quiet reverence for a lost friend and inspiration.

As its title suggests, One of a Kind (Love Affair) is less about romance and more about devotion.
