Label: Long Vehicle
Cat No: LV10
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A - The Departure Lounge
B1 - The Ballad Of Billy Bob
B2 - The Departure Lounge (Terry Francis Remix)

For the tenth ride on its record-making line, Long Vehicle welcomes Eugene Pascal – the Melbourne producer and Merriware Records driver known for weaving sly, melodic grooves with a carefree twist. The title track, The Departure Lounge, is a harmonized electro-house jam that’s been buzzing in our sets since summer ’24—playful, catchy, and impossible to shake once it lands. On B1, Eugene adds a second original cut, extending the trip with a darker bounce and a touch of acid. And on B2, none other than UK tech house legend Terry Francis flips the title track into a deep, rolling remix—classic London swing with proper late-night stamina. 

Ten releases in, Long Vehicle keeps rolling.

It's that time again, another Somecast!
This time around we have Flavio, also known as Albion Street Music, one of the most passionate diggers I've met, with a deep passion for West Coast House music, but it doesn't stop there.
A digger who eats & dreams vinyl, I got the chance to meet Flavio when I played at a renegade in San Francisco this past May and we connected right away with our love for digging and sharing our discoveries with the world. If you're not familiar yet, you should browse through his Albion Street Music YouTube channel with over 500 uploads of juicy cuts! You can also check his discogs, where he buys and sells and trades records from his vast collection. Happy digging!

Enjoy!

art:cast °188 | Goodtunes97

Some mixes feel like a night out; others feel like paging through someone’s most private record shelf, each pull revealing a new side of the story. The latest art:cast, °188, leans toward the latter - an invitation into a world where groove, subtlety, and deep knowledge converge. Guiding us through that world is Dylan Rutledge, better known as Goodtunes97, one of the West Coast’s most respected diggers and selectors.

Dylan doesn’t just play records, he lives them: running the Goodtunes label, curating two recommendable YouTube channels, and circulating rare finds as both a collector and a seller. That broad perspective is etched into the DNA of his art:cast, which digs as deep as his crates do. It’s housey, minimal, and funky, laced with a laid-back Cali attitude that gradually tightens its grip as the mix evolves - building toward clubbier peaks, break-esque turns, and darker notes that give the ride its shape.

The result is simply what a mix should be: a journey of discovery, a shifting play of moods, and a reminder that the right records, in the right hands, can redraw the map of where we thought the night might go.

Parisian producers Alex T. and Noé B. are Charonne, a duo that have already achieved a lot in just a few years. Since launching on their own Rayka imprint in 2016 they’ve teamed up with labels like Automatic Writing and Lowmoneymusiclove, straddling the worlds of house and techno with playful, inventive productions. 

Their arrival on Partisan kicks off with big hit; “Reflexion Perception Distortion.” The track takes its cues from vintage bleep techno and brings it bang up to date with an infectious bassline, acid tones, and uplifting pad chords. Channeling the best that classic ‘90s techno had to offer and rendering it in a  hyper-modern, high definition finish, a bomb that melts across divides.

The rest of the EP follows suit, drawing on 303 action, cerebral techno expressions and synthwave electro house, their stylistic touch is never static, but full of melodies and parts that are addictive, seductive and seriously sculpted, we are thrilled to share it with you.

Discogs >> https://www.discogs.com/Charonne-Moonstruck-Zine/release/14212838

One year since Rakya’s Liquor Store, one year since our core members Charonne were secretly crafting their comeback in Rakya’s catalogue with the Moonstruck Zine EP.

This release has many faces, crossing styles and tempo: a starry-eyed collection of sounds. And most importantly, it’s designed for both the mind and the club. 

Glamorama (A1) is a synth-lead stomper, dancefloor killer, as steady and powerful as this genre can get. It has founded its fine balance between a rather dark first impression and the overtaking feel-good energy of the organs. A reference to Bret Easton Ellis’ schizophrenic society: Glamorama. Which makes a perfect transition towards the glistening bomb of the EP, an uplifting house-music anthem where Charonne encourages you to MakeUrOwnMusic (A2) 

B-side, on the other hand, is more intimate. Experimentations in tempos and structures, exploring a dystopian future. The Little People is where Charonne manoeuvre a more ravy side, but always with a sense of melancholy – moving us to the EP’s conclusion, B2, an acidic and mysterious high-speed UFO.

[ZORA005] Charonne - Moonstruck Zine [EP]

Artist: Sweely	 
Title: Private Navigation EP
Label: Butter Side Up Records
Cat No: BSU003
Format: 12” Vinyl Only

Tracklist: 
A1. He’s Mine
A2. The Girls Are Watching
B1. Private Navigation
B2. Hotel Corsica

Butter Side Up Records keeps up its early momentum with another standout EP, this time from Parisian beat maker Sweely. Of course, the 12" once again comes with artwork by Sophie Doulala and expertly explores a mix of heady and spaced out grooves. 

William Montana is right at the vanguard of the current French scene. Blurring the lines between minimal, electro and house for the last few years, he has been installed as resident at the cult Parisian club Concrete and has previously impressed with releases on the likes of Lobster Theremin, Negentropy and Automatic Writing. This latest outing marks another tasteful step up. 

Opener He's Mine has a slick and squelchy bassline carrying crisp broken beats off into the cosmos. It's a journeying track that really takes you somewhere. Next up, the Girls Are Watching is a rubbery minimal pumper with buoyant kicks and warped, tripped out synths that bring brilliantly off-kilter feelings. 

The flips side features the hard hitting title track - a driving fusion of electro sound designs, propulsive drum work and a killer baseline that burrows deep. Last of all, Hotel Corsica zones you out with dreamy pad work. Icy and slippery hi hats add to the late night atmosphere while withering chords bring the warmth. 

Private Navigation is an EP prime for plenty of classy dance floor adventures.
