<p>Northern Irish heroes Loco &amp; Jam are back on Deeperfect, showcasing the evolution and technical mastery of their sound. The aptly titled &#8220;Intro To A Darker Place!&#8221; sets the tone for the rest of the EP with streamlined electronics, serving as a great tool. The title track kicks things off with crackling snares over a rocksteady rhythm section while commanding stabs and hypnotic loops immerse us in technological warfare. &#8220;Pummel&#8221; picks right up with distant vocals echoing throughout and menacing synths maintaining the bleak vibe, all leading to an apocalyptic breakdown which only the boys know how to orchestrate.</p>

Material head honcho and purveyor of versatile, percussive dancefloor shakers for the likes of Get Physical, Saved, Snatch! Toolroom, Suara, Nurvous, and Lapsus Music - Mihalis Safras (@mihalissafras) is one of the most charted artists on Resident Advisor and deservedly so.

‘Acido EP’ sees Mihalis showing his chops with two original tracks, ‘Acido’ and ‘JFK’. First up on remix duty we have North-Eastern up-and-comer Cristoph (Noir Music, DFTD (Defected), Suara, Materialism and Underground Audio), who delivers a pulsing and hypnotic remix of ‘Acido’.

Stepping to the plate to provide a tough, no-nonsense remix of ‘JFK’ we have Tom Flynn, whose releases in 2014 on labels including Hot Creations, Dirtybird, and Circus Recordings amassed a wealth of support from the likes of Steve Lawler, Guy Gerber, Jamie Jones, Carl Cox, and Richie Hawtin.

Previous releases from Mihalis Safras have received support from Sven Vath, Nicole Moudaber, Kaiserdisco, Nic Fanciulli, Alan Fitzpatrick, Ida Engberg, Nick Warren, Mendo, and Edu Imbernon.

Excited about this one! Out in 10 days. <3 

"Dirtybird artists meet Toy Tonics for the second time. First Ardalan and now Sacha Robotti and ZDS join the German label for a collaborative EP of two tracks of quirky bass influenced techno.

Sacha has a rich musical history. He studied music with none other than KARL BARTOS from Kraftwerk. He has many solo works out under his own name (including a recent collaboration with Claude VonStroke and the massive 'The Major' feat DJ Rush). He has also found time to be half of the Berlin based duo Robosonic.

Nat Self aka ZDS is a London based producer who has been fortunate enough to have played many of the worlds best clubs (including a residency at Panorama Bar) and to have had out a long string of music on a multitude of great labels including : Dirtybird, This and That, and Classic to name a few.

This EP should surprise many of their old fans and make them a lot of new friends for sure. Check the EP out!"

Frontliner - Beatdown | TSOF2 #02

Storming his way back onto Drumcode Luigi Madonna closes off the Summer with a four track smasher that will see him welcome in Autumn with a bang. Each track contains the solid, raw drums that are the backbone to each track Luigi has conjured up. With a brooding undertone, the simplicity found in each track gives the lead lines and ideas more space to breath, which overall creates a unique and charismatic submission that can only be found from the Italian.

Neverdogs & Franz Costa - Upper Side EP
If there was ever a need to define Techno from Tech House, Neverdogs and Franz Costa display it in their powerful Upper Side EP. According to these three fantastic producers, one can be on the right side of Techno with an dance floor destroyer, backed by the perfect mood accelerating remix by Outlaw. Alternatively, one can also climb onto the upper side, perhaps into an epic, unforgettable afterhour transcending that magical bridge between the genres. One intensive, percussion-loaded piece, empowered by a groovy interpretation of Russ Yallop.

Mark Reeve presents his second release on Drumcode, ‘Run Back’, a four track EP crammed with heavy hitting kick drums and his signature big basslines. The dark sounds and heavy textures are typical of Reeve and he’s showing no sign of slowing down yet. Four tracks of brooding techno, this EP is one not to be missed.

Be it for a never-ending string of his chart-topping productions and remixes, his electrifying DJ-sets or his warm personality, Mike Vale does indeed stand out from the myriad of generic-sounding peers. Mike's story began in the vibrant music scenes of the early 2000s, where he immersed himself in the raw energy of underground house and techno. Inspired by British and American house culture, he crafted a distinctive sound that blends driving beats, infectious melodies, and a touch of nostalgia. His breakout track, "Pretty Woman," became a tech-house classic, launching him onto the global stage and solidifying his place among the genre's elite.

Mike has graced iconic stages like Ministry of Sound, Ultra Music Festival, Ultra Europe, and Carl Cox's Revolution at Space Ibiza, captivating audiences worldwide. A regular on Beatport's Top 10 charts and recognized as one of the "Hottest Tech-House Artists" and "Ones To Watch," Mike has become a revered name in the dance music community. From Ibiza to Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, and beyond, his music continues to move global crowds and dominate charts.

Growing up surrounded by music, Mike drew inspiration from his father's extensive vinyl collection. This early exposure sparked a lifelong passion and shaped his signature style, rooted in rhythm and groove. Starting as a DJ at a young age, he honed his craft through club residencies, learning the art of reading crowds and developing a sound that expertly balances energy and soul.

Known for his genre-defying approach, Mike seamlessly fuses groovy, tech-driven beats with the soulful roots of house music. His productions have become staples in the playlists of emerging DJs and industry legends alike, bridging generations of house music lovers.

Mike's impressive catalog includes releases on world-renowned labels like Armada, Toolroom, Strictly Rhythm, Cr2, Ultra, Relief, Glasgow Underground, and Nervous Records. His rework of Danny Tenaglia ft. Celeda's iconic "Music Is The Answer" for Glasgow Underground soared to #1 on the Beatport House chart, becoming a festival anthem supported by heavyweights like Fisher, Chris Lake, Fatboy Slim, Claptone and receiving regular airplay on BBC Radio 1. His remix of "Exceeder" with Umek reached #1 on the Beatport overall chart, while his remix of Prok & Fitch's "Simphony" also hit #1 on the Beatport House chart, further cementing his reputation for creating chart-dominating tracks.

Always pushing boundaries, Mike has collaborated with house legend Roger Sanchez to produce tracks that honor the genre's legacy while offering a fresh perspective on its future. His rework of "Just A Friend," sampling Angie Stone's classic "I Wish I Didn't Miss You," marked yet another Beatport Tech House Top 10, showcasing his ability to reimagine nostalgic sounds with a modern edge. His collaboration with Lee Cabrera on "Shake It" for Cr2 Records demonstrates his versatility in working with established artists across different electronic music genres.

Recent releases include "Get Back" on Strictly Rhythm, along with tracks like "Sanctuary," "To Move" on Armada's Undr The Radr imprint and other cutting-edge productions that continue to define the contemporary tech-house landscape.

Mike's DJ sets are an experience in themselves, blending his own tracks with fresh sounds and creating a dynamic, electric atmosphere wherever he plays. His connection to the dancefloor is undeniable, and his performances are a testament to his ability to read the crowd and create unforgettable moments.

Whether in the studio, behind the decks, or collaborating with like-minded artists, Mike Vale continues to shape the future of electronic music with his innovative sound and global impact. His distinctive style and consistent chart success have firmly established him as a driving force in the underground house music scene, with a legacy that continues to influence both emerging talents and established industry veterans.
