Bursting into 2021 with the hope and positive energy we all need, Spectrum present an absolute juggernaut of a track...

Blinding by name. Blinding by nature. Fresh from major missives on the likes of Crosstown Rebels, Circus, Saved and Relief and heavyweight collaborations with the likes of Pete Tong, Alex Kennon makes his debut on Joris Voorn's Spectrum with this rolling juggernaut anthem that joins the dots between the 2000s and 2020s, house and techno, clubs and festivals and all shades of lockdown jadedness in between. It's his most personal release to date, and one that has already found favour with Kolsch, who made an early version a regular set favourite.

''Blinding Lights' is for me not just a record, it's a melting pot of emotions through music, a kind of time machine taking me from the early 2000's to today. I was overjoyed when Joris said he wanted the track for his own label Spectrum. His remix and take on the track will make this project very special, an intimate perspective from a great artist and musician like himself combined with a track I am very proud of.'

An inspired slab of emotional electronic music that nods in all directions and comes with that great sense of momentum and surprise, both Alex's original and Joris's remix hit spots we forgot existed. Lighter times are coming and music like this will be our soundtrack.

Alex Kennon - Blinding Lights (Joris Voorn Remix)

Hot on the heels of Helsloot's superb 'Let's Pretend' single in April come two new remixes of it by Tube & Berger and Saint Evo.

Helsloot's original was quickly picked up by an array of DJs and dropped in a number of great sets. It was the latest in a string of fresh singles from the Dutch DJ and the extended mix is included again here. It is a hypnotic and rolling house tune with lush chords that bring plenty of cosmic vibes.

First to remix it are German mainstays and Kittball Records founders Tube & Berger. This pair has amassed over 100 million streams to their name, have scored a number of Beatport Top 5 hits and are regulars at leading parties like ANTS in Ibiza and the legendary Tomorrowland. Their take on 'Let's Pretend' is a light and airy, disco-tinged and bouncy house cut. The scintillating chords bring light, a steamy vocal layers in the soul and the whole thing takes you into another dime nsion.

Saint Evo is the founder of Celsius Degree Records and hails from the savannah plains of Kajiado County, the home of the famed Maasai people. He is a pioneer of the Afro house sound in East Africa and has collaborated with a multitude of producers and vocalists from across the globe. Here he remixes 'Let's Pretend' into a chunky groove with delicate synths and starry-eyed melodies. The percussion brings rich Afro house vibes and the vocals become spiritual chants that cast a majestic spell.

This is a vital package that brings some fresh new influences to the great original from Helsoot.

E/ THERE'S NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN A MONABERRY WHOSE TIME HAS COME.
A few years ago there weren't very many Monaberry enthusiasts.
Today that's ancient history. Today Monaberry is all over the country. Day in and day out. The idea of the perfect track has come. That's why we're now building a whole new line of Releases. The release up there in the picture is our new Super Flu x Dancing On Lego. It's inspired by our world
famous releases, but the guys built it on a new narrow last, especially suited to the bone structure in most human's feet.
It has the same great bass design that's made our other releases famous for traction. The same tough, lightweight, long-wearing nylon uppers. Same tapered heel and flared sole.
One of a long line of powerful new ideas whose time has come at Monaberry.
It's about time, right?

D/ ES GIBT NICHTS STÄRKERES ALS EINE MONABERRY, DEREN ZEIT GEKOMMEN IST.
Vor ein paar Jahren gab es noch nicht sehr viele Monaberry-Liebhaber.
Heute ist das längst Geschichte. Heute ist Monaberry überall im Land zu finden. Tag ein, Tag aus. Die Idee der perfekten Veröffentlichung ist da. Deshalb bauen wir jetzt eine ganz neue Reihe von Releases. Das Release da oben im Bild ist unser neues Super Flu x Dancing On Lego. Es ist inspiriert von unseren weltberühmten berühmten Releases, aber die Jungs haben ihn auf einem neuen schmalen Leisten gebaut, der speziell auf die Knochenstruktur der meisten menschlichen Füße abgestimmt ist.
Er hat das gleiche großartige Bass-Design, das unsere anderen Veröffentlichungen für ihre Traktion berühmt gemacht hat. Dasselbe robuste, leichte und strapazierfähige Obermaterial aus Nylon. Dieselbe spitz zulaufende Ferse und ausgestellte Sohle.
Eine von vielen starken neuen Ideen, deren Zeit bei Monaberry gekommen ist.
Das wurde auch Zeit, oder?
