French composer and musician Sofian Rouge captures a series of glorious musical moments on his expressive new Amalthée EP for Moon Beam Records.

Frédéric Faupin is an artist who thinks deeply about the music he makes, always looking to imbue it with a sense of his personality. He has put out well-received concept albums - ‘Surface’ in 2019 and ‘Between Time & Earth’ in 2013 - and has collaborated with Ben Watt, Doc Brown, and Fabrizio Mammarella. The Frenchman makes heady, dreamy techno as inspired by Jean-Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream and shows that in style here.

The superb opener 'Amalthée' is an eight-minute deep electronic excursion. Dreamy pads drift through a cavernous space with soft drums and delicate pianos, bringing an emotional weight that keeps you locked. The heart-aching 'Les Louves' opens with more brilliantly delicate piano notes before a supple groove eventually rolls in from underneath. Synths are wispy as they drift by like clouds, and a melancholy feeling of longing permeates the whole track.

'Saturn Pills' picks up the pace with more upbeat drums, but the mood is still delicate, with modulated synths unfolding with elegance and grace above another rolling, well-designed groove. The cuddly deepness continues on 'South Star,' but this time there is more hope and optimism in the twinkling keys up top and the more airy chords, draped over gentle drums.

Sofian Rouge's Amalthée EP is as honest and vulnerable as techno gets, and as such, makes a truly lasting impression.

Subwax Distribution Podcast 35 - Stefano Andriezzi

@theuropeancanon returns to Dead Trax with “La Pistola” EP, delivering a razor-sharp, erotically charged suite of four tracks that oscillate between sensuality and aggression, club hedonism and introspective psychodrama. DDTX004 is not just another techno-adjacent oddity—it’s a meticulously sculpted sonic object, balancing Gothic maximalism with the glitched-out intimacy of post-PC music, spread across three original cuts and a deconstructed bass remix by Bristol-born artist @solla-sound.

PRE-ORDER: https://deadtraxuk.bandcamp.com/album/la-pistola-ep-ddtx004

The avant-garde duo European Canon, formed by Uvemaster & DJ Troublesome, are a pivotal yet overlooked act in Spain’s electronic scene. Following their production work with Lil B and Denzel Curry, the Ceuta-born brothers transitioned into electronic music, blending punk elements with forward-thinking electronics through a consistent driving groove, establishing their signature sound.

DDTX004 opens with “Quieres Mirar”, slithering in with the humid breath of a nocturnal encounter. Built around whispered ASMR vocals, warped castañuelas, sub-bass pulses and sighing flanger trails, it channels the sultry tension of the early Modern Love catalogue and the percussion qualities of Night Slugs seen through a rose-tinted lens of digital erotica. 

A sunlit curveball that swaps darkness for euphoria, “See U Today” is an ode to Balearic romance and the golden years of 2000s Ibiza. With shimmering organs, sunset breakbeats and a gently elastic bassline, it tells the story of a fleeting beachside affair—both nostalgic and hopeful, with just enough haze to blur the line between memory and fantasy.

The title track “La Pistola” is the EP’s bullet: an industrial, hyper-digital club weapon that oozes menace and dark humor. Vocals are metallic and androgynous, like an AI seductress corrupted by libido. The metaphor behind “la pistola” is delivered with provocative elegance, backed by corrosive acid lines, obliterated 808s, and splashes of noise. 

The remix by solla takes the original’s firepower and dissolves it into a fog of modular glitches, dubbed-out percussions, and disembodied fragments. Imagine Bristol if it had been built in a fever dream, where organic textures warp and decay in a slow-motion implosion, hinting at dystopia but never fully surrendering to it.

Prince De Takicardie - Trancalona EP // MULENV025

Enzo Leep Dj Set Recorded at Gottwood 2025 Ricky's Disco, Hosted by OGE

Diogo and Nástio’s paths crossed more than 15 years ago, long before the former had ventured into music making and the latter had burst into the zeitgeist of the international contemporary art scene with his defiant and corrosive stance. The curiosity they initially felt for one another grew over time, allowing their friendship to spill over and expand into something far deeper. Nástio Mosquito is family.

The invitation for this record came about naturally. Diogo and Nástio have frequently collaborated on hybrid projects involving performance, photography, music — but, above all, community. So when the original Dun Dun record reached Nástio’s ears, the initiative for this new proposal was his:

- FODASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEE!!!!!!
- BASS UPPERS A DAR SURRA NO OSSO.
- É MESMO ISSO.
- SHIIIIIIIIIIT.
- Diogo CARACOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- this shit is speaking to me boy
- Porra tens que me deixar “remixar” pelo menos 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By that I mean, place some vocal ideas… and you may put it out whenever you see fit after you have followed your initial plan!!!!!!!!! What do you say?

Of course I said “Yes”. The result will be now on plain sight.

/////

Let me be VERY CLEAR, these songs - if I may call them such things - had absolutely no need for my words and voice. I needed them...

When I first heard Diogo's DUN DUN, I had the feeling that that's exactly what pop music should be sounding like right now! There was an intensity, an organized fragmentation of intentions, and a hint of a "fuck it" kind of celebration. I wanted to be part of it...

Both the lyrical content and the delivery of these words and melodies are a gathering of visions within a disturbing scenario. Imagine if you were invited to sing, while a diarrhea outbreak is happening, in real time, all around you. You will shit your own pants today. There's no escaping it... You've got a gun pointed at your face, and you are rudely demanded to sing or die. How do you find and nurture dignity in such a predicament? Pop at its finest, if you ask me...

Nástio Mosquito

"... I judge my friends./ is it because there's a crack in my relationship with a good God? ..."

"... I wish I'd feel the taste/I wish it would not go to waste ... it ain't about love, honey... we are trading love for trust ..."

"... Get them/ ... they've abandoned the muse/ there comes space for abuse ..."

Deep fear (Stefano Andriezzi - Rework) (Bandcamp Exclusive)

As summer's warmth dissolves into twilight, grey clouds gather on the horizon, bearing the whispers of rain and the pine forest's scent yields to the caress of a fresh breeze. We are delighted to unveil Estimulo's latest mix for Deep Breakfast Series, a sonic journey to envelop your senses.

Estimulo is an avid record digger and die-hard music aficionado with extensive vaults of records since the late 80s. In his club DJ sets he’s on the lookout for those special moments of dancefloor salvation, oscillating between Deep House and Techno’s classics and more obscure electronic treasures, with splashes of Electro & Disco / Funk and with an extended broad perspective on genres and epochs not forgetting recent and upcoming gems. It’s not purely a retrofuturistic thing, rather he strives to connect music of different epochs to form a holistic flow. His special passion is to make his own edits / versions of the music he loves. With his label Mixomat Recordings (founded in 2004) he has been putting out early releases by artists such as
Marco Nega, immer.Chic (Workshop), Rezkar (Running Back, Meakusma) and Serendipity/Rai Scott (Inner Shift Music / 2DeepSoul).
His weekly Radio Show (EstimuloShow @ mixomat.org since 2007, also on Cashmere Radio since 2017) is regarded as a mainstay by many in the scene.
The last years have seen Estimulo taking the vibe to places like the US, Chile, Argentina, Australia, UK, France, Canada, Norway, Poland, Ukraine and Jordan on his DJ tours.
Estimulo used to co-run the futura event agency and DJ crew, that has been causing some stir in the Berlin scene with their proceedings in beloved underground spots like ://about blank, Paloma, Horst and Chez Jacki/Maria am Ostbahnhof.

About the mix he said:
"It's like a sequence of childhood memories. You close your eyes and remember science fiction films with the infinite universe and thousands of stars, a summer beach with your parents and siblings, then a spaceship with robots running around excitedly and making beeping noises. A few minutes later, you're beamed back to Earth and standing on the top of a mountain, gazing down into the wide valley, then a long walk through the forest along a mountain river. Or you hear the large church organ. In the end, it's all about aural beauty. I invite this music to give me and all listeners goosebumps. Nostalgia is only part of the equation here; i reckon timelessness is even more important. I hope you enjoy the journey through my memories and moods."
