Two years after his debut album under the moniker Aboukir, Ralph Maruani returns with a new record titled “Change”. Fitting title for a record that was written and recorded during a period of great turmoil in his life. The intimacy of these songs are reflected in the music itself. 

Whereas Digital Introversion was floating in a sea of psychedelic infused echoes and reverb, Change is much more stripped down : tracks like 'Rolling On' or 'Last Monday' shows a different side to Aboukir’s music as it opens up to folk/country accents in a 1970s singer-songwriter vibe. But the sound of his first opus can be heardon the 8-minute Floydesque hazy jam "Release", "Awakening" and the upbeat opener "Alright".

The album was recorded between December 2022 and March 2023 in Paris, France almost entirely by Maruani except for the drums which were recorded by Louis McGuire in Berlin, Germany and pedal steel by Reggie Duncan in Mississippi, USA.

On The Bridge (Larry Heards After Dark Dub Mix)

Romain Poncet, widely known by his stage name Traumer, is a pivotal figure in the French electronic music scene. With a flourishing career rooted in clubs and international festivals, he has built a reputation for captivating sets and meticulous productions blending techno, house, and minimal sounds. Yet, behind the frenetic rhythms of the dance floor, another side of his artistic identity has been quietly evolving.

His latest album marks a daring departure: an introspective journey far removed from the raw energy of the clubs. Drawing inspiration from years immersed in music production and influences ranging from ambient to jazz, this project unfolds as a more narrative listening experience.

The genesis of this work is rooted in an intimate and collaborative story. During the COVID lockdown, Poncet, along with his close friends, retreated to the French countryside, where creative sparks began to fly. His friend Alex shared plans to open Datsha, a refined venue merging music and fine dining, and invited Poncet to compose its inaugural soundtrack. 

Over two and a half months, locked in the studio, he created nearly 60 tracks, culminating in a deeply personal and artistic collection, venturing into uncharted stylistic territory: jazz-infused trip-hop.

Amine Laje - Further Happiness

Bay Area born and raised DJ and producer Papa Lu is family to Soul Clap, and he recently made his move to Los Angeles where he is making his mark on the house music scene. Lu is steadily building his collection of acid tinged, funky house burners, while also exploring Latin house.

For his debut on Soul Clap Records, he teams up with our friend, producer and the multihypenate The Whooligan on this thick track titled “Starting To Rise”, which continues the disco house vibe he brought with ASTU on "Red Hot". Once the beat drops, a strong Latin rhythm takes over with layers of syncopated percussion, adding a strong Cumbia house flavor to the diverse mix.

Lu's recent run of parties includes performances with Sven Väth, Walker & Royce, and Todd Terry

After Eloi’s memorable debut on LTDBLBL009 and the follow-up journey of LTDBLBL013, Eloi returns to Limited White Label with his third and most mature release yet.

If LTDBLBL009 was your imagined late-summer teen romance, LTDBLBL018 is the bittersweet memory of it—years later, playing in the background of a slow, golden-hour evening. Eloi channels the soul of the early 2010s through his signature blend of warm vintage synths, dusty drum machines, and emotionally charged melodies. It's laid-back, sophisticated, and deeply sentimental—an album like a finely aged bottle of wine, best enjoyed in one sitting, with no rush and all heart.

J. Peacock - I’m Doing Just Fine EP - Dirt Crew Recordings
https://soundcloud.com/jpeacocksound

Track List:
1 I’m Doing Just Fine 
2 Keep Running
3 Can’t Go Nowhere 
4 Hometime

J. Peacock is back for the Dirt Crew Summer take over once more! After his last collab release with Laurence Guy on “Shall Not Fade” in March this year we are delighted to welcome him again with four new deep and funky tunes.

“I’m Doing Just Fine”  is all about the strings. There's a certain feeling in northern soul records – cinematic, bittersweet – and sampling that energy became the starting point for the whole EP. On this track, the vocal hides just behind the strings, giving it a hazy feel. A loopy, dreamlike cut nods to the 2016 lo-fi house era. “Keep Running ” has a swelling, string-led groove built around a hypnotic soul sample. “Deep Burnt” is one of J. Peacock’s all-time favourite tracks and a big influence here. Urgent and euphoric, a driving rhythm with strings to carry the emotional weight.

“Can’t Go Nowhere” is a slower, more restrained moment on the EP. Inspired by the likes of Cottam, Mark E, and Tiger & Woods, this is a chugging, early-hours builder made for warm-up sets and low ceilings. A nod to the art of holding back just enough to keep people moving. “Hometime” brings together two of his favourite things: dusty soul samples and the raw grit of the MS-20. The analogue synth gives the track it’s edge, the bassline is constantly shifting and alive while the smoothness of the sample keeps everything in check.

"Mollie" by @seake-music is a laid-back track with warm analog sounds and dreamy vocals. Its floating energy makes it perfect for winding down or getting lost in the music. Featured on an upcoming various artists album “Tape Two", Mollie stands out with its sunlit warmth and easygoing vibe..

PREMIERE: Seake - Mollie [Fish Tapes]

A year on from his effortlessly escapist Senza Estate album on Hell yeah, My Friend Dario's 'Tellaro' from 2023 gets a digital rerelease next to a standout SIRS remix.

Dario is a core part of the neo-Balearic world with his blend of downbeat, disco, acid and breakbeat. 'Tellaro' very much embodies that with a late-night twist. It has deep, propulsive drums, expansive soft acid lines and twinkling keys, all making for smooth, romantic dance floor hypnosis

Sirsounds Records label head SIRS was last here with a remix of Aura Safari and is in top form again. He flips 'Tellaro' into something with dubby low ends and more psychedelic leads for freaky broken beat fun.

First Part is out! 2+3 coming soon 💕🎶

Back in their familiar DOG home, as ever, there's warmth and musicality running through it all, blending dusty house, broken beat and a touch of downtempo haze. ....plenty of live instrumentation, a few carefully chosen samples, and the sense that these are producers still having fun, even after all these years in the game. (Juno records 2025)
