"Ah si si" is a blend of EBM and italo disco, where taut grooves flirt with a bittersweet melancholy tinged with 80s hues. At once an invitation to dance and an introspective dive, the track plays with contrasts — between rhythmic tension and nostalgia.

The voice, sensual and slightly enigmatic, acts as a guiding thread: it ties the influences together, blurs the lines, and gives the whole piece a cohesion that makes it effortlessly ready for the dancefloor.
The italo disco elements are a deliberate nod to Camilliani’s Italian roots and his deep attachment to that musical culture.


Camilliani is no newcomer. In 2007, he made his debut with Pervert Teen, an electro EP released under the name Chairs on Backs, a duo with Yan Wagner on the Missive label. Two years later, he went solo with Fucking Day, a more radical techno EP under the alias Swaan, on Estrella Rec.

After a long hiatus, he returns under a new identity, Camilliani, and unveils Ah si si, his third project.

Systematic Recordings is back with more techno brilliance from main man Marc Romboy in collaboration with Rafael Cerato & Astrid James.

Romboy is a long-standing figure in electronic music who blends deep, melodic techno with analogue warmth and emotional depth. Rafael Cerato also brings a powerful fusion of techno, house, and cinematic soundscapes and Astrid James is one of France's most exciting talents with a darker, rolling sound.

Down For Business is packed with attitude thanks to the vocal - a spoken word monologue on artistry. It rides on chunky and rubbery drums with old school percussion and zippy synths that light it up with future energy

Maktub Recording returns with its third release. This time, it's a collaboration between the label's founder, FUNKE, and the canarian DJ and producer Daniel Rodriguez. The synergy between the two artists is captured in this three-track EP that seeks to escape the commercial chaos plaguing the scene, seeking out sounds and sonic escapes born from the soul, while respecting underground culture. 
"Buenos días" is a track influenced by electro, acid, and early 20th-century tech house, with a strong groove and a certain emotional charge. "Áureo" is a melodic and progressive track with an unexpected twist in the middle that will leave no one indifferent. Finally, "Nur die Musik" is a darker and more mysterious track that achieves a melancholic feeling in the listener.

PREMIERE - Housecall - Liquid (Sapphist Eye Remix) (Love Letters Records)

Subterranean Playhouse taps into Chicago lineage with a two-tracks taken from DJ Slugo's part of the multi-label Dance Mania Legends compilation release. Dropping September 12, 2025, “How We Do” and “Last of The Year (Whip That)” keep things lean: dry, swinging drums, a pushed low end, and vocal stabs that land - this is how it's done correctly. The palette is narrow by design, that is exactly the point. The pressure sits in the groove, the movement in the patterns, the intent in the space between the hits.

Dj Slugo provides classic groove's that can loop for days, the kind of functional roll that holds a room without shouting. Whip-snap accents and a heavier push on the subs that teases the dance-floor. You hear the blueprint of Ghetto House throughout - style, pressure, movement all delivered with the confidence of an originator. It’s music built for sweat-dark rooms and fast transitions, equally at home between Techno, Booty and House.

As part of the Dance Mania Legends release, it underlines how the Dance Mania aesthetic still hits hardest when it stays unadulterated and direct.

PREMIERE : DJ Slugo - How We Do

German producer / DJ Chambray has put his own House twist on Sentimentos huge single "That That".

PREMIERE : Sentimento - That That (Chambray Remix)

Paris-based friends and confidants CLAP42 and WTNS surface with a misty-eyed house track that feels tailor-made for the soft light of dawn. What started as a sampling exercise turned into a slow-burning, smile-inducing groove - equal parts cheeky and tender.

Behind the CLAP42 moniker is a Parisian producer and member of the Skylax crew. His knack for broken beats, soft-saturated synths, and intuitive sequencing gives the track its pulse. At the heart of it is WTNS’ voice - raspy, dreamy, and gently guiding each act. Nearly a decade ago, her first vocal demo “Persian Leaves” appeared quietly on SoundCloud: a raw sketch of a voice still taking shape, already carrying the emotional weight it now commands. 

Light on its feet but heavy with feeling, this is house music with a pulse and a wink - made for the end of the night, or maybe the start of something else.
