Listen to it now...

San Francisco is a typical harbour town.

Nestling amongst its environs are all kinds of different communities, each bringing with them their own Saturday night soundtrack. Hailing from the West Coast, PillowTalk are proud to call San Francisco home.

The three piece chop up electronic music into different shapes, manipulating classic pop, R&B, house and more into their own distinctive blend.

Sammy D, Ryan Williams and Mikey Tello recently completed work on their new album, with 'Je Ne Sais Quoi' finding the trio moving beyond their influences.

Currently on tour, PillowTalk are set to play London's 338 Studios on April 20th. A huge Easter weekend show, it's part of a wider tour (in a double decker bus, no less) which has taken the group across Europe.

To coincide with their capitol visit, PillowTalk have prepared a special mix for Clash readers. Opening with Ella Fitzgerald, it's a diverse selection which touches on French electro before settling into some chopped up dancefloor shapes.

"I Will (Nhar Remix)” by SITARA featuring Pawas is taken from the "I Will EP" co-produced by Pawas, with remixes by Alexander Robotnick, CYRK, and Nhar, set for release on 03 October 2025 on Hot Elephant Music.

SITARA makes her debut on Hot Elephant Music, the label run by Italo disco legend Alexander Robotnick, who also contributes a playful, synth-rich remix full of vintage charm. Berlin-based duo CYRK deliver a disco peak-time anthem of a remix, injecting sharp electro edges and a cosmic club punch, while French producer Nhar offers a lush, dreamy reinterpretation that expands the emotional scope of the original.

► Release Info:

HAFT, the Iranian duo of Sam Nasehi and Amir Subb, are known for fusing hypnotic synths, deep- rooted pads, and intricate percussion into a sound that bridges traditional textures with modern progressive house. Their debut three-track EP on Balance Music delivers a journey filled with psychedelic undercurrents and shimmering atmospheres that is crafted equally for the dance floor and for deep listening.

The brooding ‘Driftor’ is designed to nudge any DJ set in the right direction. An off-beat bass drives the engine, allowing you to comfortably sit in the pocket of its inviting narrative. Steely drums and percussion form a cohesive frame, while a bag of tasteful effects, samples, and stabs fill the remaining spaces. Once the breakdown hits, in all its subtlety, you know you’re in the hands of professionals. This is essential prog, designed for any occasion.

There is an undercurrent of psychedelia running through ‘Myntal’, hypnotic and consuming. Low- end frequencies double as notes, merging with the bass to create a dizzying effect. Its main-room identity, however, is confirmed by drums that strut forward with propulsive energy. It all points towards a seductive breakdown, its layering teasing a drop that confirms it: this is designed for floors ready to ignite.

Filled with depth, ‘Prism’ shimmers and shakes as synths and stabs perpetually morph. The result is a continuous stream of sonic moments to lose yourself in. Thankfully, the dense bassline and drums bring you back from the edge of hypnosis, filling the space with an elastic energy as buoyant as a trampoline. Then comes the breakdown: bells dissolve into minor-key haze, half beautiful, half surreal: an inviting dream-logic that is hard to deny.
