Calm Down

My first single for my upcoming album “Fauna & Flora” is now out in the world.

„Don’t Forget To Breathe” was born back in 2019, in Berlin, at Âme’s studio with a rough idea from me and Jens Kuross, from that moment on I knew this was gonna be the track that pushed everything forward and set the tone for what “Fauna & Flora” was gonna become. Thanks to everyone involved directly or indirectly helping this track come to life. 

Special mention to Steffen “Dixon” that executive produced all the tracks in the album and worked tirelessly like it was his very own music and in the end it became. In the end it is.
It’s not mine anymore, it’s from everyone.

Thank you Frank for your kindness as always opening your doors to me and giving me an overwhelming source of inspiration.

Thank you Kristian for your endless knowledge and energy.

Innervisions.
Executive Produced by Steffen “Dixon” Berkhan.
Art by Sometimes Always.

Afterlife’s 2023 campaign commences with this collaborative single from Argy and two-man outfit Goom Gum.

The trio get together for the first time on this cut, pouring their respective energies into a powerful composition. ‘Pantheon’ utilises a rousing vocal symphony, with a rolling bassline, an urgent melody and a goosebump-inducing breakdown to devastating effect.

Release Info: 
Renaissance kick-start 2023 with a fresh, new look alongside a returning favourite…

Coming out of the blocks faster than Usain Bolt in his prime, Renaissance begin 2023 with one of their favourite sons - the very talented Sasha Carassi, who presents two AA-side bombs to blow away the winter blues.

Lead track ‘Fotosintetica’ features the vocals of Davide Famularo and finds Sasha exploring new musical pastures, as he confesses, “This is a more visceral, deeper me. The objective remains the same, to take the listener on the emotional journey, but the style is definitely evolving and pushing boundaries.”

The evolution box would not have been so easily ticked were it not for one of his favourite vocalist collaborators - Davide Famularo. “Davide is very creative,” Sasha generously admits, “whilst writing he has this unique process, which is ‘strange’ in the very best sense of the word; he’s a pleasure to collaborate with and his warm voice always adds that extra, magic touch.”

The AA-side welcomes a very different track that swaps 4/4 for a contemporary take on the continued (re)emergence of all things breaks. “‘Ametista’ is quite muscular for an electronica track,” says Carassi, “but this is because it’s inspired by the power of people; their dreams, strength and authenticity, so it probably comes as no surprise to learn it was produced in the middle of the pandemic when everyone was forced to dig deep. It’s a song of hope in many ways.”

With his first solo release since launching the Sideral project earlier this year, Sideral's Trills' EP is now available on HABITAT, the new label from Italian duo Mind Against.

First up is the delightfully melodic '2109' with its sleek beats and cosmic chords. It's a pure and beautiful soundscape for uplifting dancing with great synth craft and plenty of future vibes. Trills then gets more upbeat but is no less rich and melodic - the chords shimmer up top over the stylish beats below. They roll deep and are sure to captivate the club.

Dennis Cruz delivers the landmark 300th release on Damian Lazarus’ iconic Crosstown Rebels imprint with ‘The Snake Charmer’ EP, featuring collaborations with Ian Ludvig and the label boss himself.

An artist at the height of his powers, arriving off the back of his busiest Ibiza season to date, it’s safe to say that Dennis Cruz is a man in extremely high demand within the global electronic landscape. Founder of his own labels MÜSE and CRZ, while featuring as a key member of the Solid Grooves Family, Cruz’s longstanding ties to Crosstown Rebels date back to his debut in 2018, featuring as a regular on the label and at their extensive global events from fabric London to Miami’s renowned Get Lost extravaganza since. Returning to the imprint following his excellent album ‘Roots’ in 2021, plus his recent contribution to the 20th Anniversary compilation with his remix of Pier Bucci’s ‘Hay Consuelo’, Cruz is back in emphatic fashion as he marks the 300th release in the label’s revered catalogue with his latest EP ‘The Snake Charmer’ - featuring two solo tracks alongside collaborations with fellow Crosstown signee Ian Ludvig and label founder Damian Lazarus himself.

A master of crafting rolling arrangements with subtle nuances that keep dancefloors locked in unison, the four tracks across the package see Cruz experiment even further as he showcases a global array of influences. Opening track ‘Snake Charmer’ welcomes a crisp organic percussion arrangement accented by eastern flutes through to snaking grooves and hooky female vocal samples throughout, while ‘Revolution’ welcomes an all-star cast as he links with Damian Lazarus for a heady, skippy slice of house merging hazy chords and bright stabs with vocals from contemporary Detroit nightlife icon and staple DJ Holographic.

On the flip, the Spaniard once again steps out solo and dives deep into a low-slung and playful groove on ‘Time Out’, introducing a wealth of vibrant vocals amongst blossoming melodies and soulful organ riffs, before closing the show as he joins Ian Ludvig to present an off-kilter, impactful and warping closer guided by provocative vocal snippets across ‘Pain Away’.

TAMTEN (@tamtenmat)
https://www.instagram.com/tamtendub/

Drawing from both mythology and scientific speculation, TAMTEN continues his meticulous world-building efforts on the first ever full length LP that follows up the story of “Diamentowa Sutra”.
Loosely based on the structure of an antique Greek tragedy, “End of That World” blurs the lines between both genres and narrative techniques. Even though intended for deliberate start-to-finish listening sessions similarly to a modern kraut / psych rock opera, the infectious grooves and mutant dub echoes beg for arcane communal dancefloors in the most unexpected settings.
TAMTEN never hesitates to borrow from seemingly unrelated sources of inspiration. Luckily, instead of boasting with cultural literacy, he’d rather invite us to join him on an odyssey through eras, ideas & often unnoticed or forgotten works of others to make our own connections and interpretations. Continuing his exploration of balearic, new wave and esoteric tropes in Polish music, he also manages to reference philharmony and world renowned pop icons.
The same approach is reflected in the ensemble of friends and artists contributing to “End of That World” with instrumentals, rearrangements, samples, voices and drawings. The personnel includes some of the prominent talents of their generation like Pejzaż, Freux and Ivan Bayor, acknowledged for introducing Polish and international audiences to obscure and yet club-ready sounds.
Utilizing both classic & modern gear, TAMTEN develops a palette of his own. New age ambiences are coupled with contemporary downtempo chuggy beats while coldwave-inspired dark disco pulsating synthesizers evoke a feeling of mystery and suspense with corresponding organic textures and ritual toms and clanky percussions.

Tracklist:
01. Sam Shure - Deviated
02. Sam Shure - Frontal
03. Sam Shure - Maybe
04. Sam Shure - See Yourself

Release Info: 
TAU proudly welcomes Sam Shure to our planet of musical wonder and discovery. The Berliner has been making waves since 2016, carrying on his family lineage by taking up music (his father is a renowned Egyptian jazz musician). Over the past seven years, Sam’s upwards trajectory has been buoyed by his natural talent and ability to weave organic sounds from a variety of sources into his productions. As a DJ and a producer, he embodies a worldly approach, utilising a myriad of sounds from around the globe to bring a distinctly human element to his compositions. The Deviated EP is Sam’s introduction to the TAU fraternity and it’s a stunning entrance from the Berliner…

The title track kicks off this four-tracker with a menacing, though pensive vibe. A combination of jaunty digital elements and a vicious riff gives the track balance. Before we know it, there’s a haunting, string-led breakdown, which gives us a little breather before we return to the ominous atmosphere.

‘Frontal’ is next, rolling out with a more pumping, tribal rhythm. Vocal clips and sounds are joined by the familiar funk of a ‘wah wah’ guitar, creating an effortless groove. Sam’s technical ability and musicality really comes through with the short breakdown and gnarly second half, with a superb switch up.

After that it’s ‘Maybe’, which features more of Sam’s exemplary drum programming. A soulful female vocal pops in and out of the background to give us a serenade. As the track progresses, it becomes more energised, an urgent riff drops in, and the vocals gain more prominence. By the time we enter the second half, the vibes are high and there’s unbridled dancing…

Lastly, ‘See Yourself’ takes it back to those primal, tribal elements with the beats going to work from the very beginning. A dense low end rumbles away, and a vocal clip appears intermittently to add dynamism to this cut. In typical style for Sam, this one progresses in a mesmerising manner. As he adds new layers of melody and harmony to the cut, the tension increases, and we’re locked into its groove.

PREMIERE: Fairplay - Vulani (Stereo Express Remix) [Zatar Music]

Spectrum is thrilled to welcome back Swiss producer KHAINZ, who follows up his stunning debut release 'The Drift' with another scintillating double offering - 'Complications' and 'The Answer To Everything'.

'Complications' lays the foundation with its low-slung groove and rattling synths as the track prowls the dancefloor. On the flip, KHAINZ delivers 'The Answer To Everything.' A bold statement indeed. Its deep, bubbling bassline provides a strong foundation, while an ascending melody adds an element of anticipation. Sweeping strings rush through, creating an atmospheric and emotional breakdown and as the track unfolds, rolling snares drive the momentum, culminating in a powerful crescendo.

KHAINZ continues to craft some of the finest uplifting and momentous soundtracks of 2023. What comes next? Watch this space.

The title track, a collaboration with Jody Wisternoff and label-boss James Grant, was premiered on Anjunadeep 14 in April this year.

Because of Art has previously released on Stress Records, Armada, and has been championed by the likes of Skream and Danny Howard, as well as collaborating with industry heavyweight Sasha. His club-focused, melodic house & breakbeat has earned him support from BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM, as well as from DJ's such as &ME and Gorgon City.

Nicolas Jaar - NDGO(Schaarup Remix)

German house masters Tube & Berger and Juliet Sikora have announced that they will be releasing the third volume in the 'It Began In Africa' compilation series on Kittball Records. For this, the label have teamed up with "The African Children's Choir", licensed their music and organised a selection of producers to remix them whilst contributing their royalties to the choir. The money will provide shelter, education and a new home for African children in need.

The first two compilations generated over 15,000 Euros which were used to support the choir and its social projects. The funds enabled the building of nurseries and schools to help children get away from life in the streets and this new edition includes tracks from Dario D'Attis, Flashmob, Josh Butler, Mat.Joe, Magdalena, Riva Starr, Walker & Royce and many more.

This is a deep and afro-tinged selection of house tracks that take us back to the roots of rhythm, embalming the earthy grooves with all manner of melodies, tribal percussive patterns, cosmic signifiers and more in between.

Out now on Rebellion: lnk.to/RBL074

Parisian-born Salomé Le Chat makes a much-anticipated debut on Rebellion with ​One + One,​ a beautiful two-track release that features an exquisite remix by one-third of Mandar, S.A.M.

Speaking of the release, Salomé described how “One+One is my first EP, so it's very special to me. I made ‘Cruising On The Playa’ for my closest girlfriends, to reflect the special moments we’ve spent together. They are my source of inspiration.”

Label-head ​Damian Lazarus ​praised the Parisian’s hard-working nature, stating “I​ have known Salome for around 15 years. In these years she has been extremely patient; watching, learning and crafting her own art of djing. Having now blossomed into a killer dj, I am so proud to release her debut record as a producer. For me it goes to prove the point, that good things come to those that wait.​”

Beginning with atmospheric chords and softly warming hats, we are soon hit with a pumping kick as ​Cruising On The Playa gets underway. A real dancefloor cut, the addictive vocal hook gives way to a subtle build up, before a driving bassline leads the charge deep into 5 AM territory. On the flip side, S.A.M serves up a minimal-leaning remix that showcases the cosmic sound he’s become best-known for, as trippy pads converge on a slinky underlying groove to form a peak-time, up-tempo number that you can’t help but dance to.

Having played alongside the likes of Black Coffee and label-head Damian Lazarus already this year, ​Salomé Le Chat ​is no stranger to the electronic music sphere. With a string of standout performances already under her belt, ​One + One marks her first-ever EP and sets the tone for her much-awaited future releases. Born in Denmark but based in Germany, ​S.A.M has established himself as a truly respected presence in the house and techno scenes. Heading up three labels in the form of Oscillat Music, Delaphine and Dalia, and making up one-third of house supergroup Mandar, last year saw S.A.M’s ​Furys Laughter reach the Number One spot on Beatport, a testament to his skill for producing the perfect dance-floor ready cut.
