Hailing from the magical land of India, vinayak^a is no stranger to mystical rhythms and mysterious atmospheres. A part of India’s ever-growing scene, he’s leading the way with a series of releases that explore the deeper side of electronic music. This one is no different!

With a deep and warm bassline that picks you up and carries you across like a magic carpet, vinayak^a takes us into his dreamy world with such ease, that the listener cannot help but be transported to the ethereal realms. On the flip-side, German veteran Martin Buttrich disassembles the original into a pair of spacey delights, with his powerful yet atmospheric touch that made him one of the most respected producers around the globe.

Track listing:

01. vinayak^a – Set Her Free (Original Mix)
02. vinayak^a – Set Her Free (Martin Buttrich Remix)
03. vinayak^a – Set Her Free (Martin Buttrich Echo Dub)

Out now on Beatport - smarturl.it/yousefiseebp
Out now on iTunes - smarturl.it/yousefIsee 
My remix of Yousef! Defected writes..

"Circus founder Yousef celebrates a hat trick as he unleashes his third release with Defected to the masses. A sure-fire club hit from the mind behind ‘Beg’ whose previous releases have all seen such significant success that they have earned the Liverpudlian a reputation that is second to none. ‘I See’ is a powerfully emotive cut built around Charli Taft’s beautifully melancholic voice which this talented producer coalesces with warm melodic synths and a creative usage of brass samples accomplishing a delightfully enchanting outcome. Shadow Child provides his own unique spin to the track by fashioning Taft’s vocals around the signature Dirtybird inimitability, in this case an orchestral build up into a thudding lo-fi bassy hook accompanied by his distinctively energetic usage of hats and snare. On the other hand the rendition by The Crooked Man layers various sounds into a complicated brew of wonky and dark elements that exhibits the imaginative creativity of such an experienced and longstanding producer.

Happy New Year to you all! Sometimes it feels each year goes by quicker and quicker, but it feels good to rewind, slow down and live in the moment! 

We are absolutely thrilled to have one of the pioneers of deep, dreamy and electronic grooves. Mark Slee doesn't need any formal introductions, but like all quality artists it is important to provide a little background and context to give you listeners a nugget of information to take away with you :) 

He's been on the scene for over 20 years and therefore has an idea of what groove is all about. Teaming up with Atish in 2016 they created the label @manjumasi , which has been a leader in releasing quality deep house productions with a hint of quirkiness to differentiate themselves from the masses. A reference point for the connoisseurs. 

Once you click play on this mix you are suddenly already 20 minutes in without even realizing it. "Good" or "Great" DJs is a term that is far too easily used in the current electronic scene, but when you listen to the transitions in this mix, the track selection and the music Journey that Mark brings you on, you can now understand what differentiates your every day DJ to one that actually understands what music is all about. 

Many thanks for the dope mix Mark.

Jessie J - Who You Are

"Who You Are'" was written by Cornish, Toby Gad and Shelly Peiken, while the production was handled by Gad. Cornish was inspired to name her first album, Who You Are after the song by the same name. She also revealed that she is proudest of the song. Cornish wrote the song at the end of a lonely three-month trip to Los Angeles when she was 20, having been shunted from studio to studio with various producers.

Pink Mammoth - Burning Man 2017

Upcoming Events

Mira & Tara Brooks - Pink Mammoth - Burning Man 2017

The love in the air. The warmth of the first rays of sun. The mystic fog in the horizon. A perfect morning.

We were dancing together, in fact very close together. Hugging, sharing drinks, lip-balms and other playa essentials. Celebrating life.  Expressing and living some of the things we enjoy the most: connection with each other, affection and freedom to go and do as we wish. 

Music is an invisible bridge that connects us all, even when we are so far apart.  We can find in music a way to transcend into a different space and time.  Our minds and consciousnesses will always be free to travel anywhere we want to go. 

I hope this takes you to beautiful places. 

Transmitting with love,
Gaby Endo

Subtract Music is a Los Angeles-based record label, event producer, and artist collective that has shaped the West Coast’s electronic music landscape since 2011. Founded by Anton Tumas and a small circle of like-minded friends, Subtract was built as a platform for forward-thinking artists—emerging and established alike—driven by a belief in music that lasts beyond the moment.

The label’s debut, Black Rock City by a then-rising DAVÍ, paired with a remix from Robert Babicz, set the tone for its identity: atmospheric, meticulous, and unconcerned with trends. From there, Subtract followed a deliberately measured path, curating a catalog that spans deep house, techno, and electronica. Standout moments include Pezzner’s melancholic Evelyn, Babicz’s infectious Beautiful, and Vinayak A’s experimental Set Her Free, alongside remixes from John Digweed, Hernán Cattáneo, Guy J, Matthew Dekay, and Stimming. The interplay between newcomers and seasoned veterans has become a defining feature of the label.

Beyond the studio, Subtract is equally known for its events. Its long-running Subtract On The Pier residency—now in its 10th season—has brought artists from Mathew Jonson and Lee Burridge to Patrice Bäumel and Doc Martin to Long Beach waterfront. As producer of the Love Long Beach Festival, the collective helps draw over 10,000 attendees annually, balancing cutting-edge programming with a strong sense of community. Subtract sound systems have powered some of LA’s most respected underground gatherings and set new benchmarks for immersive audio at Black Rock City.

With a release schedule that favors intention over volume, Subtract Music continues to evolve while holding firm to its original ethos: quality over quantity, artistry over hype. In a culture that moves quickly, it remains a steady voice for the underground.
