Belfast brothers Cocktail Cool are a dynamic DJ & Producer duo composed of Timmy & Scott. With a shared passion for music, Cocktail Cool have started to make waves in the electronic music scene over the past few years.

From a young age, music was more than just a hobby for these brothers - it was a dream they aspired to fulfill together. Cocktail Cool’s sound is a seamless blend of genres, drawing inspiration from Chicago House, early 2000s UK Tech House, and Rominimal techno. Their music is deeply influenced by renowned DJs and producers such as Daft Punk, Kerri Chandler, Apollonia, Terry Francis, Raresh, Layo & Bushwacka, Ricardo Villalobos, J Dilla, Pete Rock, and A Tribe Called Quest, among many others.

Cocktail Cool has an impressive portfolio of releases on several esteemed labels, including Whoyostro, Conceptual, Hustler Trax, Purism, Street Tracks, CHIWAX, and Snake Beat. Each release has garnered significant attention from the previous, further establishing their presence in the industry.

Their energetic DJ performances and unique sound have quickly gained them a following, culminating in a strings of high profile gigs across their hometown of Belfast. With a promising trajectory ahead, Cocktail Cool continues to push their own boundaries and share their passion for music with audiences far and wide.

PREMIERE: Cocktail Cool - Chet's Rainbow [The Disco Express]

Dreams wander through the quantum corridors of memory, fragments of light suspended between what was and what could be. The universe remembers through us: echoes of intention folded in harmonic space. Every movement is a reflection of undone symmetry, every silence follows thought. Beyond the horizon of time, we leave traces of ourselves in frequencies that never fade. The heart becomes an orbit of invisible geometry, where consciousness and absence merge into the same eternal vibration.

Abstract Orbit

“Refraction Flow” bends sound like light through glass — one melody, three perspectives. Chill Fader merges progressive and deep house energy with cinematic motion, flowing from immersive depth to uplifting euphoria.

After coming out with his record Ohana on Neovinyl Recordings earlier this year, Bolting Bits favorite Carlo returns with yet another release set to come out later this month. Titled Tres, the Malaga born producer has teamed up with his Berlin-based brethren at Suol records to deliver something for the hot summer months ahead. I do not know how the EP got its name, but as you'd most likely guess, the record consists of a total of 3 tracks. Each track is quite mellow in nature and showcases the producer's ability to pair the right amount of reverb to make listeners feel as if they're floating on thin air.

Take Carlo's original called B-162. What the song lacks in tempo is quickly compensated for by a multi-layered assortment of lush sounding vocals, spliced melodies, and inviting notes from a Rhodes piano. All of these elements give the track a light-hearted feel and make it the perfect candidate to soundtrack the start of any night or even upcoming rooftop soiree.

Ben Gomori, label head of Monologues Records and Stern Edits, might be one of the busiest men in the industry today. When he's not providing us with the freshest dance music through his two labels, Ben can be seen spending his "leisurely" time hosting podcasts, radio shows, and video series like Turned On, Monologues and RecordReplay. If that wasn't enough, Ben puts on club night fundraisers for Help Refugees and the highly esteemed album listening sessions Pitchblack Playback. We honestly do not know where the man finds the time, but he does.

Given his absurd work rate, we were not surprised to learn back in July that Ben Gomori also produces under the previously anonymous moniker G. Markus. Mr. Gomori's reasoning for starting the project was "[...] to make deeper, freakier, trackier stuff than I was known for under my own name. It was a breath of fresh air starting from a blank canvas and sending music to labels anonymously with no preconceptions, having no social media and so on."

Whether he's releasing music under his own name or G. Markus, one can argue that Ben has a knack for making edits that rivals any of his contemporaries today. And this unique skill is on full display throughout his latest track titled "Red E," in which he takes on an 80's classic. Using the infectious vocal sample as a centerpiece, Ben chooses to pair it with an equally catchy assortment of lively piano house melodies and cheeky synths that are reminiscent of greats like Kerri Chandler.

A surefire way to start any party, DJs and producers alike would be negligent by not adding this chune to their collection. "Red E" along with "Cum Thru" are out today! Get your copy now!

As the decade has rolled to a close, the ways in which fans discover music is more fractured and algorithmic than ever. Massive platforms use technology and playlists that many listeners have become reliant on to surface new and engaging tracks, and while there are still a handful of independent press outlets pushing releases from underserved artists, they are dwindling by the year. Yet in the face of a rapidly changing industry, there are still a number of even smaller collectives bucking the trend of computerized gatekeeping, thanks in no small part to the hard work and passion of like-minded individuals who care deeply and are driven to support and spread the music they love.

One such faction is the unrelenting and ever-evolving Bolting Bits, co-founded as a French language publication in 2014 by Florent Tarroux (who produces and DJs as Numea Daze) and his partner Sarah-Marie. Bringing Igor Bezuglov onboard in early 2016, together they helped Bolting Bits reach a more universal audience by transitioning their writing to the English language. Alongside a small team of rotating contributors, they've worked tirelessly to not only upload music from artists they admire, but also raise the profile of talented newcomers who are eager to share their efforts---many of whom have gone on to release on labels such as Shall Not Fade, Lobster Theremin, Feel My Bicep, and a myriad of high-profile outlets. With over 650 premieres under their belt, as well as over 100 original mixes and over 6 million plays on Soundcloud, Bolting Bits remains a beacon for the outer rims of traditional dance music, covering everything from jazz to acid to broken beat and beyond. They have thrown dozens upon dozens of parties in their local Montreal and have reached audiences across the globe (except Greenland…hurry up Greenland).

Now, Bolting Bits are extremely excited to announce their first official compilation, in partnership with renowned producers and artists who’ve been supporting and supported by the crew since the very beginning. With tracks from the likes of Jad & The, Aleksandir, Homage label owner Ryan Clover, and many others, this compilation stands as a testament to the amazing work and ethos of Bolting Bits. It will be available on both Bandcamp and the main Bolting Bits website, and will cost a minimum of 8 USD (though fans can pay-what-they-want to help further support the site)---the ultimate goal is to continue sharing amazing tunes from incredible artists to the people who care.

Nebraska comes in with a bang for his third release on Heist after 'Soften the Wireless' EP in 2016 and 'Metaphor to the floor' in 2017. It's hard to believe it has been 3 years since his last appearance on Heist, but with 'Y'miss me baby?', Nebraska takes back center stage with another release full of disco flavored electronics. Italian disco man-of-the-moment Giovanni Damico comes along for the ride and delivers a stunning 80's flavored remix.

Premiere: Danvers 'Desire' (Harry Wolfman Remix)
