Oscar and the Wolf - Strange Entity (Falco Benz Remix)

Octave One's set for us last year was phenomenal; the energy, setting and metronomic head twists made it a no-brainer for inclusion in our Best of 2014. If you're that way inclined, you can hear the story behind how Boiler Room helped relaunch their career in more depth over here [INSERT LINK TO MICHAIL INTERVIEW HERE], as relayed to Derek Plaslaiko and our very own Michail. Seven tracks from Moscow made it onto their new LP, due May 26th, of which "Afterglow" was arguably the strongest.
Much like the towering behemoth of "Blackwater", it's a synergy of styles; dozens of boxes chattering away to one another in harmony. Somehow the track manages to be both flinty hard and yet shimmering, the lead curdled and yet crystal-clear. It's dancefloor TNT, an emphatic return from the brothers Burden. Burn It Down indeed.

Octave One "Afterglow" - Boiler Room Debuts

We've watched him smash the discotheque and terrace at Space, Ibiza and we're hugely excited about our next guest mix by Jem Haynes.

One of our tips for the top… now mixing it up with the best of ‘em, like the bastard son of Bushwacka and Nic Fanciulii”
Mark Broadbent, We Love… Space, Ibiza promoter.

Jem Haynes is an artist completely at the pinnacle of his powers. Playing weekly for the last 8 years in Ibiza for We Love Space has enabled Jem to consistently rub shoulders with the great and the good of the global dance music community. He played a magical set for Carl Craig and his superlative 20 Years of Planet E showcase, whilst also playing countless closing sets at Space after Derrick May, James Zabiela, Visionquest, The Chemical Brothers and Joris Voorn.

Gigs at the UK’s finest establishments have included Fabric, Glastonbury festival, Manchester’s Warehouse Project and Sankeys, Leeds’ unrivalled house music soiree BacktoBasics and the internationally renowned Ministry of Sound in London, with global turns in China, Croatia, Hungary, Switzerland, Slovenia, the US and many more. Every dancefloor has been ridiculously responsive to the Haynes trademark sound, where house and techno collide in a furious frenzy.

Enjoy!

Wasted Heroes 004 Mix - Jem Haynes

A new chapter of the RONU sound.
Dark, hypnotic techno built on global percussion, sub-heavy drive, and cinematic atmosphere. Each track is a journey — pulsing 4/4 kicks, ancestral log drum echoes, metallic stabs, and haunting drones stretching through infinite warehouse space.

This series fuses Amapiano swing, Durban Gqom weight, and relentless techno pressure — layered with whistles, tribal shakers, and whooshing bass that breathes like an air hangar moving air. Minimal melodies rise and dissolve into haze, while percussion locks bodies into trance.

These aren’t just tracks — they’re rituals. Industrial rhythm fused with ancestral memory. A soundscape made for late-night festivals, underground basements, and movement without end.

RONU signature: cinematic depth, global textures, bass pressure, and percussive grit.

OCTOPUS

This Guy Ben returns with The Five Mile EP, a trio of uplifting progressive house tracks—Le Braye, El Tico, and The Splash—designed for peak-time energy and emotional release.

Rich in detail and groove, the EP delivers soaring melodies, evolving synth textures, and crisp percussive layers that guide listeners through immersive, dancefloor-driven moments. Each track showcases his signature approach—balancing melodic depth with forward momentum—resulting in a sound thats as emotionally resonant as it is club-ready.

Le Braye - (Vocal Mix)

On this week’s Cadenza Music Source to Cycle podcast, we welcome a British DJ who has played a hugely pivotal part in house music’s development since the late 1980s.

Eddie Richards has been described as “Britain’s godfather of house & techno” by the clubbing magazine Mixmag, cutting his teeth on the London DJ circuit at the legendary Camden Palace in the 80s, and at important clubs like Clink Street and Heaven in London, and the Hacienda in Manchester.  One of the first DJs to ever champion house music, Eddie was a firm favourite on the UK rave scene, and over the years has become widely recognized as one of the founders of the often misinterpreted genre of tech-house.  Alongside Terry Francis and Nathan Coles, Eddie has been an integral part of the Wiggle nights for over 20 years now and also plays regularly at Fabric in London, as well as clubs all over the world.

Eddie also been producing right from the start of the house explosion, his Jolly Roger moniker released blueprint acid house in 1988/1989, and he’s consistently released records ever since.

'New Life' is the powerful new soulful-techno outing from some of the most prominent brothers in the world of electronic dance music, Octave One. Armed with a pulsating bass line, driving beats and those lush, dramatic signature O1 strings, 'New Life' carries a message of positivity beautifully sung by Atlanta vocalist, Afrika. Also featured on the package are remixes from Unscubscribe (aka Techno legend Dave Clarke & Mr Jones), who flip over to the dark side, weaving an intense techno tapestry of menacing synths and slamming beats. Different World (aka Claude Young & Takasi Nakajima) finish the release on a euphoric note, drizzling the track with sublime piano and a delicate garnish of pretty strings.

The video is directed by Madrid film creatives STEEL5000 and Martín García Blaya of W0RKT34M, whose choice theme for the video was synchronised swimming because of it's sheer beauty and strength. It also includes some fantastic divers who were discovered whilst training at the same venue - Centro de Natación Mundial 86, also known as M-86. The talented stars on the video are young Madrileños from La Federación Madrileña de Natación. These are dedicated athletes that form part of the Centro de Tecnifición, a national Spanish program to create future athletes. 

Afrika (aka Lana Fallon) is a versatile vocalist hailing from Atlanta. She previously worked with the likes of Tupac, OutKast & Curtis Mayfield as an engineer back in the day, but now shines as a singer in her own right!

Techno is a family affair.

Arriving onto the electronic scene with "I Believe", featured on the monumental (10 Records) compilation "Techno 2: The Next Generation" (alongside Carl Craig, Marc Kinchen, and Jay Denham) in 1990, Octave One is the brainchild of the phenomenal native sons of Detroit, MI (USA), the Burden Brothers. The core unit of the band, made up of Lenny and Lawrence Burden (with revolving members of Lynell, Lorne, and Lance Burden), have had the privilege of bringing their high energy live shows to many parts of the world, including Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and the USA, among many other places.

The brothers have released groundbreaking dance anthems on their own Detroit based record label, 430 West Records. Including DJ Rolando's "Jaguar", Random Noise Generation's "Falling in Dub" (the other Burden brother moniker), Aux 88's "My A.U.X. Mind" (on the 430 West sister label Direct Beat), as well as their own Octave One recordings: "Empower", "Nicolette", 'The X-files", "Meridian", “Love and Hate”, “The Greater Good”, and 'Siege". They have remixed tracks for such artists as Massive Attack, Akabu (Joey Negro), DJ Rolando (Jaguar), Steve Bug, John Thomas, Aril Brikha, Vince Watson, The Trampps, Rhythm is Rhythm, and Inner City.

1989 the year my cousin that lived in Amsterdam told me come here and we go to a party with unbelievable music , people, something that’s going to be here forever! And there I was 17 years in an old theatre, beautiful people, love peace happiness and house music! After that I was hooked, started buying house records, and started djing! Mixing is optional, your choice of music is the answer! Being real, not afraid or shy, opening your mind body and soul and all other openings that were closed for to long . Be true to yourself and the world will be one massive place without boundaries borders colors sexes! No LBTQRS( or other letters in the alfabet)rainbows ,unicorns, mobile phones. The energy of music is what’s made me feel me! I met many people shared stories experiences fluids and it formed me to become me and I love being me! 
Markus Enochson Featuring E-Man – Musical Prayer (Accapella) 2. Find this accapella listen to it feel it ! Love the ones that you feel deserve it! And live your life. It’s short but you need to make it worth wilt
