OLING - 'Cruel' [VIV048]

Motip White - Machines (Gespona Remix)

Rafael Marín, best known as Rapha Mundi is back on Buenobueno Discos with a solid 6 track EP titled Bonanza EP. The super prolific, hard working hero from the small town of Murchante, in Spain, keeps pushing boundaries on his personal journey through music.

On this record Rapha explores the deeper sides of House and Techno with a minimalistic production and a truly amazing sense for hypnotic grooves. Always club ready, always dj friendly.
He also even delivers a beautful ambient track called 'Otra Luz' as the cherry on top.

Also don't miss his show 'Slaps U' on Relativa Radio (Madrid) where he shines as an incredible record selector

Munich based musician, sound collector and artist Schegg (aka “Scaled Chord Harmony & Electronic Groove Grounds”) crawls through the wormhole for his third outing on clipp.art. A minute between stints, (his last extended player release on clipp.art came out in 2019) but where “Dream Emulator” drifted into corners of detroit electro, groove-heavy house, full frontal breakbeat, aquatic acid and UK rave, “Sonic Ritual” is a trio of tracks that finds the Munich based musician delving into new 4D angles inside the tesseract. It’s a space where he builds on his enthusiasm for vintage-sound tracks, tribal rhythms, and silky chords, albeit all wrapped up in a raw housey music kinda way. Oh, and he adds some borderline Baltimore breakbeat and early morning ambience into the mix.

It’s interesting to think about the concept of a “Sonic Ritual” and not get trapped in the boring utilitarian idea of a customary practice or soul-sucking routine of everyday existence. There can also be pleasure in repetition. The 4/4 hypnotic loop of club music is a good place to start. And I think most people reading this would have surrendered to the habits of a regular dancefloor visit at some point in their life.

But let’s talk about the music: If I had to imagine a scenario where you would be correct in throwing on “Memory Loop” then it wouldn’t be while drinking coffee at 7a.m, or on the treadmill at the gym. I’d opt instead to blaze a fat one and watch spider web shadows through my window on a spring afternoon.

“Shamanic Dance” won’t summon an ancient curse, although it sounds really good if you watch the jungle scenes in Raiders of the Lost Arc at half speed with the sound muted and play this over the top instead.

Finally, title track “Sonic Ritual” evokes less of a literal ritual and more like an everyday ceremony where you listen to heaps of Orbital and then remember it’s the year 2025. Its good stuff, man.

On his first release with us back in May 2019, Schegg said ”The most important thing is to make human-like music for the heart and soul. There should be some healing sound at the dancefloor, something to dream about and to forget all your troubles.” Many moons later, in a world where everything has changed, it’s comforting to find some habits stay the same.

Secret Fusion Records, the forward-thinking imprint curated by Secret Factory, is thrilled to welcome NYC’s own Evan Michael with his latest sonic excursion: Kodiak EP.

Drawing from over a decade immersed in the beating heart of New York’s nightlife — where he helped shape the city’s club culture from behind the scenes — Evan channels his refined taste for house and techno into a radiant three-tracker that blurs nostalgia and innovation.

The title cut, "Kodiak", is a shimmering summertime bomb. Its infectious synthline lodges itself deep in your memory, riding atop a warm groove that feels tailor-made for golden hour moments and open-air dancefloors. It’s pure melodic bliss with a hook that refuses to let go.

"Color Shift" follows with a dreamy, ascendant energy. Built around a gently undulating motif, the track evokes the emotional highs of sunrise sessions — euphoric, hopeful, and drenched in light. This is a serotonin-soaked anthem for hearts wide open.

Closing the journey is "Spirals In Time", a deep and classic house jam that pays homage to the golden age of New York clubbing. Rich in soul and groove, it’s a love letter to a sound that shaped generations — and a reminder of the timeless power of well-crafted house music.

With Kodiak EP, Evan Michael proves himself as both a student and a shaper of underground culture — offering up tracks that are as thoughtful as they are floor-ready.

After a strong run of releases on Secret Fusion, Nothing Is Real, and Sprechen earlier this year, NYC-based producer Evan Michael now lands on HIFI/LOFI Records with his Modern Life EP — a forward-thinking five-track journey that drifts from dreamy house to cosmic indie dance, with subtle shades of melancholy woven throughout.

Having spent the past decade deeply immersed in New York’s nightlife, Evan has supported many of the city’s most vital independent clubs while absorbing their eclectic soundscapes. That experience has sharpened his ear for house and techno — a sensibility he now channels into productions that move seamlessly between retroism and futurism, all in his uniquely personal way. 

The release is elevated by standout remixes from trailblazer Maruwa, a Robert Johnson club resident whose rising profile spans releases on Steel City Dance Discs and X‑Kalay, delivering a deeper, more minimalistic, and irresistibly groovy reinterpretation of the original. Meanwhile, acclaimed producer Le Chev — trusted studio collaborator of LP Giobbi and co‑writer/producer for artists like Fischerspooner, SOFI TUKKER, Jake Shears, and more — brings a bold injection of deep house and melodic progressive grandeur, flirting with Organic House undertones to expand Evan’s vision.
