Mermaids On Acid

The sky had always fascinated her. During the day she'd dream about the possibilities of what lay beyond the clouds and far above the atmos; at night there was even more to ruminate on. Sometimes she felt she belonged up their amongst the stars; earth wasn't for her, she didn't feel as though she belonged anywhere. Could technology make it possible and were money no option, she'd have packed her bags long ago and headed far above the planet. For now she'd have to continue to dream. 

R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings keep up their stellar output with a new release from Reflex Blue, a new name on the block in Australia. The label have long been one of our go-tos for a solid dose of house, electro, techno and breaks; and this new instalment doesn't disappoint. Chock full of progressive trance-tinged house and cosmic driving earworms, Reflex Blue proves why Australia has become such a great export of these proggy, sub-aquatic sounds in recent years.

PREMIERE: DC Salas - Fearless Is More [A Lifetime On The Hips]

He walked down the corridors and could feel the pounding feet from the amphitheatre above. Soon it would be his turn to enter the cauldron and face whatever wicked foe was put before him. He had been training long and hard for this day, preparing his body and conserving his energy so that he might rise to noble victory and seek knighthood.

This was all he had ever dreamed of and now as he prepared himself his breath was thin and shallow, his heart pacing quickly and his mind whirring with the potential and possibility that was to come.

Fearless is more, fearless was more. That was what he’d learnt whilst fighting in the pits of hell. It had all lead him to here…

DC Salas continues to enchant dancefloors with big room club bangers that rally dancers and bring enlightenment. This new EP on Semi Delicious is no different with this synth driven powerhouse of a track doing the damage already.

Didn't I (Perdu's Acid Mix)

Julian Sánchez, better known as Sonata, began his journey in electronic music at the age of 15 in Monterrey, Nuevo León. Over time, he has developed a style that blends the power of Techno, the energy of House, and the depth of hypnotic sounds—always with the intention of connecting with the dance floor and making people move.

Throughout his career, he has released music through various projects on labels such as UD Records. Currently, with his project as Sonata, he founded his own label, Striva, where he promotes sounds ranging from high-energy House to Peak Time, Raw/Deep/Hypnotic. In addition to continuing to explore his musical identity, he seeks to collaborate with other labels and artists to expand his sound.

Although his music has mainly resonated in the local scene, he has shared flyers with well-known artists and performed in cities like Monterrey and Playa del Carmen, appearing at Circo Sonoro, Topaz Deluxe, French Fried, APARATO, and La Old School Mainstage, among other underground events and after-parties.

His music is designed for the dance floor: more than introspective or laid-back, Sonata focuses on energy and rhythm—perfect for non-stop dancing.

He is currently pushing Striva forward, preparing new releases, and developing his radio show Striva Sessions, while continuing to explore his sound and connect with the audience.
