Astrality & Thandi - Times Are Changing Hailing from Rome, Italy, Daniele Cataneo - or Astrality as he’s now more commonly known in musical circles — has taken the electronic music world by storm since emerging onto the scene in 2020. 

With over 20 million streams clocked in just two years, and over 500k monthly listeners on Spotify alone, the rapidly rising Italian talent is quickly making a name for himself as a force to be reckoned with, boasting an impressive discography spanning labels including Universal, Armada and our very own Selected.

Riding a wave of success off the back of recent hit records including Golden Nights, Alone Together, Regret and Belong, Daniele now returns to Selected. with his latest huge single Times Are Changing. 

Teaming up with critically acclaimed singer-songwriter and producer Thandi — who has also enjoyed considerable career success following a slew of hits including Afterhours, Moonlight and Rivers - the two artists come together in perfect harmony to deliver an avantgarde vocal deep house cut that captivates from the off.

Bristol-based producer Nu Aspect is an artist we’ve been championing for a while over here at Selected. Landing on our YouTube channel back in March 2017 with the huge deep house anthem Things I Said, we’ve been lucky enough to welcome back the über-talented producer time and time again for a growing catalogue of hits, including Light, Said To You, What’s In My Head, Run Deep, Afterlife, Sleepless and Something Real. 
Now, returning to Selected. for his third official release of of the year, the prolific British talent looks to continue his fine run of recent form as he unveils his latest musical masterpiece, Strings Attached.
Teaming up with British singer-songwriter and topliner Sam Welch (Gemini, Sex on Fire, 3 Nights, Through The Fire and Metaphor) and enigmatic producer Arkaden, the three artists converge to deliver a perfectly executed house cut that captivates from the off. Rasping vocals, playful basslines and shuffling rhythms form the backbone of the release, as Nu Aspect, Arkaden and Sam Welch pull out all the stops on a magical debut collaboration.

Release Date: 5th May 2023

Seventeen years after his first release on the label, Sunny Lax brings fans his debut album, ‘Crystals’, out now on Anjunabeats.

Levente Márton, known worldwide as Sunny Lax, has been a mainstay on the Anjunabeats roster since making his label debut with ‘P.U.M.A. / Casseopeia’ back in 2006. Over thirty releases later, he delivers his first official LP. 

‘Crystals’ marks the pinnacle of a story that began in November 2022 with the release of Sunny’s ‘Emerald EP’. His ‘Ruby’ and ‘Amethyst’ EPs, which followed in early 2023, were the next stages in an expanding and evolving body of work. Now, combined with five new tracks, ‘Crystals’ sees Sunny unify these EPs into a 14 track album. 

Levente was born in Romania to Hungarian parents and moved to Dunaharaszti, a small town near Budapest, when he was four. His musical journey began when he was just 13. Levente’s sister worked in the city library and brought home CDs for him to listen to. “There were a lot of artists from different genres,” he explains. He learnt how to produce after watching tutorials on free CDs from magazines, and soon spent his spare time perfecting chord progressions and melodies. 

Levente wasn’t initially interested in clubbing, and didn’t learn to DJ until after his first release in 2006. “Back in those days you had to send CDs to labels in the post,” Márton says. “I sent ‘Cassiopeia’  and ‘P.U.M.A.’ to 9 or 10 different labels, and Anjuna loved them.” Above & Beyond played ‘P.U.M.A.’ four times in a row on their Trance Around The World radio show. 

As festival bookings racked up and his career grew, Levente continued to work at his local library, enjoying the stability of his day job alongside the excitement and pace of his life in music. But after releasing his track ‘Enceladus’ in 2015, everything changed. “That’s still my most popular track,” he says. “So many big artists played it at huge events.” 

The success of ‘Enceladus’ was unplanned. Levente remembers messing around in his studio, relaxed, happy and with no intention of producing a hit. “Sometimes when you’re in that state something pure and effortless comes out,” he says. “I think trance is an excellent tool to share emotions,” he says. “I know my productions are my way of channelling my emotions.”

‘Crystals’ is inspired by Levente’s increased spiritual awareness as a result of the pandemic. “Everything is a vibration, and there’s an organising pattern behind everything,” he says. "Certain crystal structures can elevate and heal, some can impact your mood.”

"My debut album, 'Crystals,' is a musical journey as colourful as the different minerals found in the earth. It's a collection of distinct musical gems, each with its own unique attributes and energy. I poured my heart, soul, and 20+ years of musical experience into crafting this mix. It's a tribute to the power of music to heal, uplift, unite, and transport us to different worlds. Through heartwarming melodies, heavy rhythms, and experimental sounds, I invite you to join me on a journey of self-discovery and inspiration. It's a celebration of the ups and downs of life, of the beauty and challenges we all face, and of the resilience of the human spirit. Let the music take you on a journey and create memories that will last a lifetime." - Sunny Lax

Sunny Lax’s debut album, ‘Crystals’, is out now on Anjunabeats.
