Top Tracks (April 2021)

Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint welcomes Jean Caillou back to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Zurich, the Swiss artist has established himself in the world of organic house with releases on Magician On Duty, RYNTH, Sag and Tre and Underyourskin Records. Having made his Sound Avenue debut in 2019 with a remix of Joe Miller’s ‘The Last Of The Great Days’, Jean further established a bond with the label in 2020, reworking Bigasti & Balad’s ‘The Days’. Now returning to Sound Avenue for his first original project, Jean presents his ‘Departure Unknown’ EP, alongside a remix from Daniel Van Der Zwaag.

Spread across four tracks, Jean Caillou’s ‘Deeparture Unknown’ is an eclectic blend of electronica, organic and melodic house. Emotionally compelling throughout, the journey begins with the dulcet beats and dusty percussion of 'There'. It's romantic overtones and intriguing vocal stylings make for an irresistible first act, before emerging atmospheres blanket the proceedings for a chilling finale.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.

Premiere: Jean Caillou - There (Original Mix) [Sound Avenue]

A new name on Manual Deep as we introduce Paul Losev from Miami, Florida. He isn't a complete newcomer to the scene though, as some of you might know him under his Paul2Paul moniker with which he had releases on Ready Mix Records and Lowplay Sound to name a few.

'Last Seconds' is a deep and moody piece of house music, full of emotion and melancholy. Warm, dreamy and mysterious - the perfect match for Manual Deep.

4) Natascha Polké - Neverland (Aparde Remix)

The Definition:Music crew is more than happy to introduce a new member to their artist family and therefore we're sending a warm welcome to Natascha Polké! Backed by extensive studies in the UK metropolis of London, inspired by artists like Christian Löffler or Jan Blomqvist and drawing from her ever growing DJ & nightlife experience, which already saw Natascha Polké taking over slots at the famed Hive Club and other places, the Zurich-based artist developed a unique approach to what she describes as dreamy, melody-driven Electronica.

The title track and opener "Stars Wrapped In Skin" starts on a complex, melodically intricate level, combining warm, analogue basslines and crystalline motifs for the dancefloor whilst Natascha Polké's tender and fragile vocals add a certain element of beauty, melancholia and masterly sculpted sonic poetry, no matter if this tune is hammered through a big club P.A. or played on late night radio.

"I Don't Mind" indulges in deeply felt, most beauteous dancefloor melancholia and turns out to be one perfect closing tune for a long and ecstatic night out that's about to end way after the wee hours have passed.

With "Neverland" we see Natascha Polké's love for the dancefloor and huge basslines manifest once again, this time fusing with cascading synth lines and hyper-harmonic arrangements whilst her distinct vocal style harks back to a history of well beloved big time bangers, which left a mark and carved out their niche within the global musical consciousness and extended beyond the realm of club culture over the course of the past 25 years.

Last but not least: The subsequent "Neverland Aparde Remix" alters the original cut only slightly and takes the vibe to an even dreamier, more harmonic level perfectly suitable for daytime or early morning sets fully dedicated to a style oftentimes referred to as Melodic House - garnished with a bit of Natascha Polké's unique Indietronica twist, ofc.

I don't mind

I Don't Mind

Artist: Natascha Polké
Title: Burning Out
Release Catalogue: DMU089s
Releasedate: 02. April 2021
Genre: Electronica

Artwork: Lena Waldispühl
Lyrics: Natascha Polké & Ladina Sasha

Burning Out is Natascha Polké’s most delicate yet confronting tune. Starting off sparsely, her voice finds its way under your skin instantly. Warm chimes effortlessly lead the way and tie in simmering synth pads that keep building steadily. Spinning in melancholy this production has its own mind, grows at its own pace and takes just the right amount of time to do so. Come the second verse, lush and subtle vocal harmonies find their way in naturally, producing a purposeful momentum before the first chorus kicks in, with a beat that starts to drive things forward. But even when the track is lead by the refreshingly decisive groove, an air of melancholy underpins every move and motion. Wonderful organic samples give this track a strong sense of identity, the balance between a fleeting chilling atmosphere and intimate honesty makes it a roll out to which you’ll want to surrender.

From today onwards, Toby Ginkgo takes us into late summer with his atmospheric track „Mellow“.

The melancholic and dreamy main chords of "Mellow" were born during an emotional phase in his life. This phase was characterized by the interplay of moments where thoughts tumbled over each other, and by tranquil moments where his thoughts carried him into the distance. „It was precisely these moments that shape the sound of Mellow.“

We're absolutely thrilled to celebrate Toby's debut release with him.

Kaleidoscope Colours

Kaleidoscope Colours (Fejká Remix) [feat. Maybemahri]

Intro]
Sun melts into the sea  
Your voice is the breeze to me  
Iris lights the evening bay  
We dance the words away  

[Verse 1]
Sky turns to wine  
Moments divine  
Every beat a lover’s vow  
We are endless now  

[Chorus]
Iris Abu Dhabi – golden sky  
Every heart learns how to fly  
Music whispers soft and wide  
Love and rhythm coincide  

[Verse 2]
Waves applaud our secret song  
Time forgets to move along  
Every color feels alive  
At this hour we revive  

[Chorus]
Iris Abu Dhabi – golden sky  
Every heart learns how to fly  
Music whispers soft and wide  
Love and rhythm coincide  

[Outro]
Night speaks your name again  
Wind sings like a friend  
Iris Abu Dhabi – endless tune  
Dancing under velvet moon

Lyrics: Natascha Polké

1) Natascha Polké - Neverland (Original Mix)

"Neverland"'s unpredictable synth line catches you straight away. Percussive elements and organic textures, yielding a hint of reminiscent nostalgia, grow more and more prominent before launching into a satisfying and wistful soundscape that carries you away with ease. The pad work is sublime, the vocals are mesmerising, the melody lines tender yet wilful. Drifting echoes and warped elements tell the story of getting lost and submerging deep in something unreachable. Shifting between moments of contemplation and pureness, delight and hesitation get to play equal parts in this ravishing musical tale.
The single comes alongside a remarkable video, realised by Anique Wild and her crew, recently nominated for "Best Emerging Artist" and "Best Cinematography" category of the London Fashion film festival, as well as shortlisted for the Berlin Commercial 2020. In her music video Natascha Polké takes us by the hand effortlessly, soaring through darkness and skin-diving into the unknown. An undistllled, grasping representation of a feeling we all know too well and seek so often. The visual creation defies traditional boundaries on all levels. The collaboration brought together three artists from different disciplines; director Anique Wild, director of photography Nino Michel and production designer Jimena Cugat. The three creatives skilfully and naturally weaved their influences into one, creating a truly stunning dreamscape. A perfect synergy between music, fashion and art.

Natascha Polké is a Swiss musician and producer known for blending indie songwriting with emotional, melodic house. Based in Zurich, she has built an international presence with releases on labels like Anjunadeep, PIAS, and Universal Music. Her live shows have taken her across Europe, North America, and Asia — from supporting Kiasmos and Christian Löffler on tour to playing festivals like Fusion, Zürich Openair, ADE, and a standout Cercle show in LA. 2025 will ultimately see Natascha embarking on her very first headline tour across European metropolitan cities.


She lived in London from 2013 to 2017, where she studied songwriting, worked in a studio, and held a residency at the iconic Roundhouse. After returning to Zurich, she immersed herself in the city’s club scene — organizing events at Hive and DJing extensively. During this phase, her current artist project began to take shape. After completing her Master’s in music, she transitioned from DJing to performing fully live — and the project really took off. Her live show merges raw, intimate songwriting with atmospheric, melodic house.


Her upcoming EP - aimed to be released in November - with the third single 'Dawn' releasing September 12th via Universal Music CH and capping the year off in December with a release for Cercle Records, will certainly open a new chapter. With her mix of emotion and groove, she gets people dancing — and maybe even crying a little.
