Omni – meaning all-encompassing – is an apt title for celebrating over a decade of existence of Blue Hour Music. Marking the musical diversity and longevity of Blue Hour's imprint, the Omni V/A series brings together a wide range of artists from the full electronic music spectrum, plunging into a pool of techno, trance, breaks and everything in between. 

Approaching nearly 50 releases in vinyl and digital formats, remix series and sub-labels as well as limited edition merch, the imprint has swerved hypes, trends and fads throughout its long-running tenure. Platforming quality productions by artists worldwide, Blue Hour Music has forged a name of its own in a landscape that evolves with mercurial speed. 

Like Blue Hour's sound as an artist, it's impossible to classify the label's discography into a single category or genre. The two-part Omni compilations ebb and flow between hazy atmospheres and tougher, live-wire textures, colluding into a multi-coloured trip that encapsulates the lush world of Blue Hour Music.

For his next Token EP, Kr!z delivers squelchy synth sequences over robust kicks, reinforcing his no - nonsense approach to club music. Classic in its conception yet psychotic in effect, Ipso Facto is a record built for powerful sound systems during the night’s most delirious moments.

First impressions are important; the Belgian producer has never been one to waste time, and this record is no exception. What you hear is what you get — an anxiously slithering synth line makes his intentions clear in De feat the Purpose, driving people to the dancefloor. Dry drum machine work thunders throughout, locking in the Token style with precision. Moving into the next track, ‘Chrome Dust’ focuses more on the tonal side of things and its irresistible groove makes i t an instant ear catcher. Playful rides and snares shape the progression, with Kr!z swapping percussion elements to keep the movement lively. 

The title track is a true hip swinger on the B1 as he reaches in the low end of the synth sequence to establish a very compelling rhythm. Everything in its right place, and not a hair more, the percussion transitions are reminiscent of his 4 channel DJ sets, the energy always being on the move. Equilibrium closes the EP with high energy, opening up filters over a reli ably bouncy rhythm. Years of experience behind the decks can be very instructive for a perceptive producer, and Kr!z proves us just that in this track and in the whole EP.

Support here: https://smilesessions.bandcamp.com/album/new-tribes-smiled004 

New Tribes marks the beginning of a new series from Smile Sessions, bringing together a handpicked selection of artists whose rhythms, spirit, and vision resonate deeply with the label’s core.
This release is a celebration of connections, new voices, shared respect, and the invisible threads that bind us through sound. It carries the true essence of techno : grounded in ancestral energy yet shaped by modern textures.
As it unfolds, New Tribes casts a spell, a hypnotic blend of whispers, pulses, and percussive rituals that speak to both body and mind. A statement of unity, a tribe in motion.

PREMIERE: Mislaw - Polyamory [SMILED004]

CVNSUMED is a new character in the game, who you may associate with his previous alias NN, under which he oriented his output to the harder strains of electronic music. His debut in this new incarnation can be read as a conceptual piece, in which even remixes are blended into the narrative in an unusual way.

We dive deep into stuffy, rushing productions with a right dose of spaciousness. All the material is a perfect expression of KYSH’s style. Take the highlights – “Mugen” for timeless elegant techno sound or “Gyomatsu” for driving drum machinery and beautiful string motifs. After the oneiric “Togyo” remix coming from BENZA, the subsequent remixes from Sicion and Sept only add to the quality. This EP takes you to atmogroove heaven leaving a taste of precise contemporary sound.
