Deep house legend Franck Roger returns to Vibe Me To The Moon for a second sophisticated EP. The accomplished Frenchman serves up a trio of timeless tracks for Nightsteppaz's cultured NYC imprint.
   
Franck Roger has long been integral to deep house. A dedicated crate digger and master beat maker, he's been defining the genre for more than 20 years with timeless tracks on his own Home Invasion as well as cult outlets like Nu Groove Records and more. He has made an art of deepness with supple grooves and tactile synths that are meticulously crafted and perfectly reduced. He has already served up his ‘Can U Believe EP’ and a remix of Nightsteppaz on this label this year and now backs it up with another standout offering. 
 
Opener ‘The Truth’ distils everything that makes Roger’s sound so compelling — sultry spoken word, warm, late-night pads, and elegantly slinky drums that ease their way into both body and mind. It’s a masterclass in mid-tempo house, elevated by rich, immersive sound design and an emotional undercurrent that lingers long after the dancing stops. ‘The Calling’ follows with elastic rhythms and a celestial blend of painterly pads and twinkling melodies. There’s a spaciousness to the mix that invites you in deeper, while the rolling kicks keep hips engaged and hearts lifted. Closing cut ‘The Passage’ shifts into a denser, more grounded groove. Its weighty kicks and textured toms build a persuasive rhythm while dreamy pads and drifting synth motifs swirl above. It’s effortlessly danceable and a fitting final note for an EP that’s equal parts soul and sound system.

A new chapter in underground house music continues this fall with About Time, the forward-thinking label founded by Thomas Garcia, Joluca, and Synnhaven. Following two strong EP releases, the trio now presents their first various artists compilation: About Time. Vol. 1 — a five-track EP showcasing their distinct styles alongside celebrated guests Damian Rausch and Mizbee.

Out October 10th, the compilation serves as a bold statement of the label’s ethos: groove-driven, minimal-leaning tech house built for discerning dancefloors. It pulses with rich textures, stripped-back rhythms, and infectious energy, signalling the growth of a curated space for quality underground sounds.

Leading into the full release, singles from About Time. Vol. 1 will roll out as waterfall drops beginning in September, offering early glimpses into the label’s sonic direction.

With About Time, Garcia, Joluca, and Synnhaven aren’t just releasing music — they’re building a platform to champion the sounds they love. And this VA compilation is only the beginning.

PREMIERE: Thomas Garcia, Damian Rausch - Lola's Dub (Extended)

Luke Blunton steps into the spotlight with his debut EP on Laib und Seele Records. A dynamic journey through textured, progressive soundscapes. The four-track release flows effortlessly between playful minimalism, infectious groove-driven house, deep dubby atmospheres and a trance-infused remix.

Opening with ‘Mirror State’, this track sets a confident tone with playful precision. A vocoded vocal line weaves through a stripped-back minimal framework, layered with rolling acid modulations and anchored by a bouncy bassline.

Next up, ‘Daisy Chain’ locks into a classic four-to-the-floor rhythm, a delicately produced proggy, deep house cut with meticulous attention to detail, topped off with a cheeky infectious melody that gets bodies moving and faces smiling.

‘Marinara Trench’ follows, diving deeper into dubby depths with a spacious, atmospheric feel. It unfolds like a voyage into deep waters, guided by immersive synth pads, slapping percussion and a subtle sense of motion that keeps the energy flowing while shifting the mood into more introspective territory.

Closing the EP, Nickon Faith takes another look into the mirror with his remix of ‘Mirror State’, transforming it into a trancey roller laced with psy elements, while maintaining its evolving proggy style, enriching it with extra rhythmic layers and a new splash of percussive flavour.

Originally "Back in the Days" released in 2004 on Resopal Schallware marked Tigerskin as a torchbearer for pop-oriented groovy House, reviving the raw energy of early 90s bleeps, swung beats, and untamed dance floor spirit but transforming it with the technical possibilities of the early 00s into his trademark romantic vision.

From the pulse of “Dance Now” to the cringey charm of “Party in My Car,” Tigerskin proved that Back in the Days was more than a look backward - it was a bridge between era's: a reminder that the roots of club culture still grow, still breathe, still move people.

Two decades on, this re‑release doesn’t just bring back nostalgia - it reminds us that reminiscing every once in a while can push creativity. The album and a few EPs around it were the start of a pretty different approaches to club music for Tigerskin, that led to several big tracks and remixes, some now considered to be classics by many. 

The three formerly unreleased and slightly more club-oriented bonus tracks had been recorded the same year but were amongst many that didn’t make it to the album.

Prod. Alex Krüger.

After a very successful debut VA earlier this year — supported internationally by Job Jobse,Roza Terenzi, Anz, and Gearmaster — Flip The Lid returns with its second release: Rolly Bump Vol 2; an expansive VA compilation that dives deeper into the progressive underground.

This remix leans into the track’s late-night potential, pushing woozy vocals through off-kilter delays and sub-bass depth. A heater for the club!

RADIO ELECTRONICA was one of the first independent radio programmes to go on air in Jena in 1999. The background was to bring colour into the dreary Thuringian radio programme and to create a platform where regional and national artists from the electronic music scene could present themselves and exchange ideas. RADIO ELECTRONICA claims to be always on the trail of new influences, trends and artists in the field of electronic music.

The show quickly developed from the first pre-productions to a live broadcast, which can be heard every four weeks on Saturdays from 7pm to midnight on the open channel Jena on UKW 103.4 Mhz and via online stream (https://radio-okj.de/wp-content/themes/radiookj/okj-player.html).

With a steadily growing fan base, RADIO ELECTRONICA is still a firm institution in the field of electronic music in Jena and beyond the city limits. Besides the latest scene trends and record presentations, studio guests are a big part of the show.
