Optical Illusion

The Drifter returns to Maeve with a bang. This 2-tracker carries a familiar Drifty feel but is a total graduation for the label founder.

Everything sounds better, his voice, the machines, the mix - this is next level. The vocal on title track, "Ultraviolet" has a distinctive darkwave feel, a touch melancholic, but accomplished. Brooding synth bass underpins the track leading the listener into the cosmic abyss, a journey one is only too happy to surrender themselves to. The trip continues with "Avoid The Void", an ironic title given the listeners fate so far. On this cut we lose the melancholy and march straight to the dance floor. Littered with ping pong acid warbles, clipped vocal samples and driving drums, Avoid the Void is a single minded monster.

It may have taken some time for The Drifter to come correct with original work, but after listening to this its hard to argue it wasn't worth the wait.

The Drifter - Avoid The Void

The next installment on @feinestier is being delivered by none other than musician, poet and enfant terrible extraordinaire @bryankessler and boy, does he deliver indeed, giving us „An Idea Of What We Could Be If We Were Not Ourselves“. And however you might decode this idea personally (as it is brought to us in the language of music), it is certainly a precisely shaped one. All over the EP Bryan is bringing the goods with his signature raw-yet-meticuosly-arranged production style introducing sudden flashes of ecstasy, be it with some surprise trancy synth stabs (on the title track), red-herring-piano-chords („Forgot to Forget“) or raunchy sax samples („Fingernails and Breakfast“). As you already might’ve noticed by now, Bryan is also on top of his naming game, giving us the (un-)aptly named „Minimal Sucks Hard“, which contains a hard-hitting beat that reads like a Kessleresque variation of a Rominimal House tune. So to give you a summarizing evaluation of the countless ideas flowing around in this EP: When in doubt, go Kessler!

Hot on the heels of his recent “The Super Album”, our favorite seafarer is back with a delicious round of remixes. Frau Blau head honcho KADOSH takes “About Love feat Speakwave” to darker disco territories. Rome’s WHITESQUARE gives “Shifting Basslines feat Chicks on Speed” a powerful 90s progressive house inspired spin. Last but not least, the Las Vegas duo THIRD CULTURE (aka Sian & Sacha Robotti) are taking a swing at “I Love Watching You feat Arnaud Rebotini”, emphazising the noir EBM vibes of the original.

PREMIERE: Innocent Soul - Too Late For Us (Musumeci Remix) [Ravanelli Disco Club]

Skatman Unveils Upcoming Double EP “ Believin’ " on Cognitive Prophecy

Berlin-based, Tunisian-born DJ, producer, and label curator Skatman is starting the new year with the release of his highly anticipated double EP, “ Believin’ ", dropping on the 10th of January via his acclaimed label, Cognitive Prophecy (CP records). Known for his genre-defying sets and productions, Skatman continues shaping contemporary electronic music's soundscape with this bold new release.

'Believin’’ serves as both a showcase of Skatman’s evolution as an artist, constantly pushing boundaries with collections that span multiple genres. This double EP is structured as a journey, blending hypnotic grooves, raw textures, and dreamy harmonies across seven tracks that flow seamlessly from the dance floor to introspective listening.

The EP opens with 'Fresh’, setting the stage with a raw, dark, and industrial broken beat offering that introduces Skatman’s sonic vision. It flows into the pulsating energy of 'Merci', a track juxtaposing minimalistic melodies with rich, textured layers. 'Feel It' injects an element of 90s house, while the title track, ‘Still Believin’ featuring the Hungarian singer Gianet, anchors the EP with its soulful vocals and hypnotic rhythms.

On the second half, 'Forget It' shifts gears, offering slight acidic elements, while 'Dream On' delivers an anthemic blend of cinematic melodies, epic vocals, and icy hi-hats. The EP concludes with 'Circle of Despair (Epilogue Beatless Version)', a meditative, ambient piece that leaves listeners in a reflective state.

Release Info: 
Stereo Underground is a driving force on the underground music scene. Although he began his career as a drummer in rock bands, he later transitioned into the electronic music scene. He is the founder of the BPM College of Sound & Production and co-founder of MUZA, a new collaborative music platform that empowers producers to connect, create, and grow together. He has released on labels such as Balance Music, Lost & Found, and many more, while often climbing high in Beatport's melodic house and techno charts.

Opener 'Your Time Will Come' is an evocative track packed with cinematic sound design that makes for an immersive mind movie as well as club-ready groove. With rising synth progressions, celestial FX and deep-rooted beats, it's a hypnotic, ever-evolving sound high on subtle drama and moving emotion. The gorgeous AM Version strips things back to a blissful and gentle broken beat that's awash with heavenly melodies and harmonic pads, which drown you in uplifting euphoria. The fantastic 'Echoes Of The Wild' is another moving electronic journey with pristine and crystalline synth progressions, lush textures and serene grooves that lead to dance floor transcendence.
