JANE.KI - SOLOVEY

HIGGINS

WHATCLASS, the trailblazing platform redefining music learning through artist-led Classes, mentorship, and structured curriculums, has joined forces with iconic DJ and producer Joris Voorn and his label, Spectrum, to offer a select group of emerging, and established, producers the opportunity to release their music on Spectrum.

Voorn, who has collaborated with WHATCLASS to create an exclusive tutorial, curated submissions from the platform's students, ultimately selecting five standout tracks for this debut WHATCLASS compilation. The resulting collection highlights innovative sounds and fresh perspectives from aspiring international artists.

Opening the compilation is Slovenian producer Eskape with 'Lost Desert,' a track that sets the mood with warm pads, wistful melodies, and ethereal vocals - a perfect introduction to our new Spectrum journey. Following is Brazilian duo Fernandez & Silvera with 'Parallel Life,' building on the momentum of their recent Purified signing 'Emptiness.' The duo's track combines delicate synths, flutes, and minimal percussion to create an uplifting, melodic soundscape.

Representing the UK, Jay Lapse raises the energy with 'CB1,' marked by relentless hi-hats, a pounding kick drum, and haunting keys that form a stark, desolate techno soundscape, softened by its eerie strings.

From there, the compilation shifts to a housier vibe with Swedish producer Magnuss and his groovy, deep houser 'I Can Feel It,' followed by the hypnotic, percussive beats of Shombo's 'Feel Ya' - two standout house cuts guaranteed to energise any dance floor and a fitting finale for this debut showcase of exciting talent.

‘’Andrea Ljekaj returns to New Violence armed with three new weapons. The Croatian producer has landed his work on such esteemed labels as Get Physical and Save Us, and being a firm label favourite here, is welcomed back with open arms. The title track 'Hills Have Ears' is a groovy techie affair, with shuffling beats, nasty bass hits and dubby overtones. The track develops as warm and infectious pads glide effortlessly across the groove, generating a blanket of happiness to wrap around you, as amile will certainly ensue. An uber cool track thats very versatile, and of course damn hot. 'Never Too Early' is next up, and if its a bit of a swagger you desire, then check this little number out. Its all about the vibe here, as you sway along to its hypnotic overtones, laced with dirty touches, and brought to light by cool vocal samples. Simple and effective. Rounding things off nicely we have 'Road Of Desires'. Melancholic tech house is order of the day here, as the melodies have warmth yet a tone of darkness flowing through. The big distorted pads enhance the emotional content further, as a bit of a dance floor moment lands, before we slam back in to action.’’

01. Andrea Ljekaj - Hills Have Ears

Labelinfo Otherside
Butch and Sebastian Hohberg have created music for you to fly to. Free of conventional air travel, this is for a soaring heart and a flying mind, it is the other way of flying, the type which is different and unique in its effect it has on you. Otherside is a label for this psychoacustic music, the music which tickles your brain with its love for detail and rinses your ears from the sticky stench they are exposed to in the streets and clubs every day. According to William Blake “if the doors of perception were cleansed, life would appear as it is: Infinite.” Welcome to the Otherside.
