Four To The Floor 23 is here, going straight for the dance floor.

Opening track „The Bull“ by Secret Factory gives you its horns made of edgy synths and gleaming pads.

Up next are DJs / producers / brothers Disfreq from Ireland, whose techno stomper „Essa Mina“ just goes full steam ahead. Dark synths, claps & strobe light. 

Ant Healey’s „Billy“ is a vocal Tech House workout and its energy is perfect for the start of the outdoor festival season. 

And closing off is „Kupala“ by Doanro and Lonner, who combine fierce club sound with traditional Ukrainian folklore singing.

The second release on Phonique’s new label Zatar Music comes from Jordanian duo Fairplay: a gorgeous, deep, melodic house cut inspired by their local heritage and featuring vocals from Sahrawi singer Mariem Hassan.

Bringing a modern perspective to nomadic-style music, Jordanian alternative duo Fairplay intricately weave musical textures, with their music characterized by an eclectic, deep, and unpredictable approach. Releasing on labels like Kindisch, Stil Vor Talent and Bar 25 their approach favours organic sounds, often focussing on the trippy and the obscure, to create deeply layered, spellbinding productions.

Formed by Faisal and Fuad who met in their native Jordan before moving to study in the UK and USA, the duo started out promoting their Kollective Music parties, which welcomed electronic stars like Phonique, DJ T., Subb-An and Mihai Popoviciu. Buoyed by the success of these events they formed Fairplay and started Djing and producing together.

From the very start the music they made had always been deep, unpredictable and evocative, with Fairplay often incorporating Middle Eastern and Arabic sounds and instruments into their productions. Now Fairplay enter a new chapter of their sound with the release of Latlal.  

Inspired by their rich cultural heritage, they combine their trademark hypnotic melodies, with an evocative vocal sample, resulting in a track that embodies their message of staying true to ones roots while simultaneously being an entirely modern slice of melodic house. 

On the remix, longtime collaborators Anturage & Alexey Union bring their own unique flavour to Latal. Harnessing the uplifting power of Hassan’s vocal sample, they steadily build layers of percussion and synthlines, creating a crisp, progressive cut that patiently builds the tension. 

Zatar Music is a new label from Berlin-based award-winning producer Phonique, which launched in July 2022 with a brand new remix of Feel What You Want  - one of his best-loved records - from Ukraine’s breakout star Korolova. 

“Zatar Music is going to be my main focus, both for my own productions and artists I believe are making extraordinary music. I will of course continue to release on other labels, but Zatar gives me the opportunity to fully explore the more organi

With Shem, Claudio Iacono delivers a masterclass in groove-driven, deep, and hypnotic club music. Known for his refined and versatile productions, Iacono has outdone himself with this three-track release, showcasing his signature style in full force.

Safran kicks things off with rolling basslines, intricate percussions, and a magnetic energy that locks you in from the first beat. The track’s evolving textures and tension-filled breaks create a captivating late-night atmosphere.

Karagoz takes a more percussive and hypnotic turn, layering organic elements with pulsating rhythms and a dynamic arrangement that keeps the dancefloor in constant motion. A deep and immersive journey through sound.

Closing the EP, the title track Shem is pure Iacono magic. A driving groove, moody synths, and a masterfully crafted progression make this a peak-time weapon, oozing with warmth and character.

Shem is an essential release for those who appreciate deep yet powerful electronic music, proving once again why Claudio Iacono remains a force to be reckoned with.

Russian brothers Sasha and Sergey Lipsky return to Disco Halal for the third time under their famed Simple Symmetry project. Following off the back of Auntie Flo’s ‘Kabsa’, the duo’s ‘Gilgamesh’ EP is the fourth release for the label this year and continues to build upon Disco Halal’s successful trajectory.

The ‘Gilgamesh’ EP draws inspiration from the epic novel of the same name, the oldest story known to man. Leading with the title track, Simple Symmetry teams up with Mexican producer Inigo Vontier for a signature Shamanic chugger whilst one of their solo efforts ‘Fight’ is a string-heavy, psychedelic soundscape. Named after Gilgamesh’s faithful sidekick, ‘Enkidu’ continues this kaleidoscopic theme with Krautrock influences with Adam Port’s ‘Tulum By Night’ contrasting edit turns the record into a big room melody. The remix has already been heavily supported by Moscoman, Keinemusik, Âme and Dixon.

Based in Berlin, but firmly rooted in the diverse and forward-facing musical scene of Tel Aviv, Moscoman’s Disco Halal label hails from beneath the minarets of the Holy Land. The imprint exists to present a tight-knit and growing community of musicians and producers, each transmitting their unique musical identity, yet each united by a unique sensibility, as well as a harmonious balance of rhythm and experimentation.

Encompassing elements of downtempo, new-wave and alternative pop, stitched together with a leftfield dancefloor throb, Disco Halal’s back-catalogue, filled with efforts from the likes of Simple Symmetry, The Organism and Moscoman himself, has seen the imprint rapidly emerging from the once-overlooked nightlife and club scene of Tel Aviv into the worldwide spectrum.
