Something stirs in the mist and it’s not your average calf: @elfantxsma drops an edit straight from the outer edges of the cosmos. “Nikita Love Song” is a tender disco transmission soaked in nostalgia and laced with 80s sci-fi shimmer. Emotional, otherworldly, and held together by a kick that doesn’t flinch. Barn-ready and free to download: grab it before it vanishes.

Manzo Digital - Nikita Love Song (Fantxsma Edit)

art:cast °184 | Baldov

Some artists make noise. Others listen first - then carve out their own frequency in the quiet spaces between a kick drum and a sunrise. Baldov, real name Théo Bertat, has spent the last decade threading himself through the undercurrents of Europe’s vinyl culture. As a co-founder of Undergroove Records, half of the duo Wave Catchers, and a familiar presence behind the booth and in the bins, the Paris-based DJ and producer carries an energy that’s patient but insistent — always pushing for connection over spectacle.

Whether he’s shaping warm minimal grooves for labels like LEGRAM VG & Rubber Ducky or sketching new sound maps alongside Heimyl the Lazer Man, Baldov’s mission is clear: keep it intimate, keep it human, and above all, keep it honest. He’s the kind of selector who still believes a DJ is there to serve the moment, not steal it - a mindset that naturally flows into his new partnership with Headliner, where design, sound and respect for the craft matter as much as the party itself.

In this conversation, he opens up about the story behind the Baldov name, how a broken arm and a bike crash gave birth to new music, why the art of the long set is sacred, what his dream DJ mixer might look like, and what a perfect night could be when you strip it all back to what really counts: records, connection, and the magic that happens when the needle drops - and nobody wants to leave.

French imprint AWO tee off their release schedule with ‘Akua‘, a new single from Montpellier-based production duo SOM.1...Clocking in at 135 BPM, 'Akua' simmers with dark textures and mutant breaks. Peppered with 90s hip-hop vocals, a tightly-coiled arrangement of terse breaks skitters over an ominous fog. Floating amidst cyber-fuelled ceremony and UK bass futurism, ‘Akua’ is music for the dance.

PREMIERE : Toomy Disco - Rip That Ass (Takuya Matsumoto Remix)

We are back again with another edit from @jabba-2-3 who has been deejaying for over three decades. Holding the residencies at the "moon" indie raves and the Rennes "made.festival". He has chosen to edit the cult classic  from Coldcut feat Yazz and the plastic population "Doctorin' the house"  from 1988 that we could not resist.  

Why is the song important? Coldcut is a British electronic music duo formed by Matt Black and Jonathan More. Pioneers of sample-based music and remix culture in the UK. Coldcut were among the first producers to treat sampling as an art form. They didn’t just loop beats—they layered samples from TV, movies, spoken word, and other records to build complex sonic collages. Founders of Ninja Tune, an influential independent record label that has shaped not only UK underground scene but an entire generation and beyond. 

At a time when house music was still largely underground and centered in Chicago, Doctorin' the House was one of the first UK tracks to fuse house rhythms with British pop and hip-hop sensibilities.

It helped popularize house music in the UK and Europe, setting the stage for the Second Summer of Love (1988-89) and the UK rave scene. 

Doctorin' the House showcased how sampling could be playful, political, and danceable, all at once.

In his own words...
I chose to edit this 1988 track because it was one of the first tracks (which I found so bizarre at the time) that introduced me to house music and later acid house. And I love this sample-driven style.

MOVE TRAX, label forged from Tokyo's event series MOVE ムーブ that since 2022 has consistently showcased in Asia pivotal figures in electronic music scene such as Alex Neri, Fantastic Man, Massimiliano Pagliara, Liquid Earth, Chloé Caillet, Bradley Zero, Secretsundaze, Giammarco Orsini, Gonno, Known Artist, proudly unveils its inaugural release: TOKYO LIPSTICK. This sonic odyssey is crafted by the label's Italian-born, Tokyo-resident founder, Al Jones, who masterfully synthesizes the sun-drenched euphoria of '90s Mediterranean sounds with the kaleidoscopic dynamism of his Japanese sojourn. From the futuristic synthscapes reminiscent of classic video games to the pulsating vocal tapestry of Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the world's most vibrant intersection, Al Jones distills disparate influences into a cohesive and compelling narrative. Supporting this seminal debut are remixes from Berlin-based UK artist Running Hot, renowned for his distinctive contributions to esteemed labels such as Love On The Rocks (LOTR), Certain Music Records, and Permanent Vacation. Complementing this, rising Japanese talent Paperkraft, hailing from Osaka, brings a fresh perspective, building significant momentum from the Land of the Rising Sun with releases on Physical Education and HOMAGE Records with his tracks remixed by Aldonna and Aiden Francis.

PREMIERE: Al Jones - Cosmic Pegasus (Paperkraft Paradise Mix)

Circular Motion

Mexican label Duro Label is preparing for a new sonic journey with the return of one of its most cherished figures, Madrid's Álvaro Cabana. His new EP, "Indian Prototype", is an exploration of rhythms rooted in the wisdom of groove and the most influential sounds of the nineties and two thousands, without yielding an ounce to nostalgia.

Álvaro Cabana, an active figure in the Madrid electronic scene since the late '90s and owner of the Rotten City label (home to artists like Red Axes, Curses, Eden Burns, and DC Salas), delivers an EP that stands as a testament to his fidelity to his roots and his constant evolution.

The journey kicks off with "Proto", a track imbued with an early progressive essence. Deep basslines intertwine with expansive melodies and solid rhythms, creating psychedelic atmospheres that invite you into an introspective, mysterious, and energetic dance.

Following this is "Tipo", a subtle nod to Underworld. Here, acidic and resonant synthesizers take over the dancefloor, propelled by drums and rhythms designed to unleash euphoria. Lysergic vocals add a hypnotic layer, further immersing you in its danceable energy.

Finally, the EP culminates with "India In Us (UK Mix)", a powerful collaboration with his Argentine compadre residing in Bogotá, Julian Sanza (half of legendary projects like Silver City and 2020 Vision Soundsystem). This track is an ode to more "UK" and "two-thousands" sonorities, featuring booming basslines and frenetic melodies that invite total surrender on the dancefloor.

"Indian Prototype" is a statement of intent from Álvaro Cabana, a release crafted for DJs, diggers, and lovers of the rave sound.
