Presenting their third release of the year, roku welcomes Blanka Barbara to the label for her debut EP. Born in Poland but now based in London, Blanka Barbara first emerged in 2020 with a series of releases via her Rabbit Records imprint. Quickly catching the attention of the progressive house and melodic techno communities, the next two years would see the classically trained pianist and composer go on to record projects for Lane 8’s This Never Happened, Ziger’s Eat My Hat Music, John OO Fleming’s Joof Aura, Mango Alley and Proton’s Particles. With 2023 projects for Juicebox Music and Balkan Connection already in the books, Blanka now adds roku to her resume with ‘Ever Closer’, alongside remixes from Danny Lloyd and Bondarev.

Destined to be a highlight in Blanka’s discography, it is the melodic stylings of ‘Ever Closer’ which get the release underway. Electrically charged from the outset, its rolling rhythmic structures, striking percussion and character rich groove set the piece on a course for aural enlightenment. Dark bass stabs and haunting overlays cleverly coax across the first act, elevating momentum and mood for a finale of colourful arps and hopeful sonics. The companion piece ‘Descending Into Heaven’ finds Blanka showcasing a deeper, more emotive side of her repertoire. The London resident masterfully marries blissful sonics and balmy effects over a framework of warm fluid grooves and precise percussive arrangements. Sitting at the heart of the piece is a reflective interlude, one where hopeful melodies unite in a whirlpool of textural euphoria, perfectly suited for those magical morning moments on the dancefloor. 

Making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Ever Closer’ is Danny Lloyd. With a career that spans the better part of two decades, Italian artist Danny Lloyd has etched his own unique place in progressive music history. Long a favourite of Hernan Cattaneo, the Tuscany resident has taken his smooth effortless sound to long standing imprints Asymmetric Recordings, MNL, Movement, Proton Music and more. Known for being choosy in his projects, Danny’s first production of 2023 finds the Italian artist making his roku debut with a hypnotic rendition of ‘Ever Closer’. Opting for a timeless approach, the Italian artist creates a distinctive interpretation in his inimitable style; with arpeggiated fragments and airy sonics uniting over a bed of thumping beats and pulsing basslines, casting a spell over the listener across a fluid first movement, before breaking out into a tastefully restrained and deeply meditative finale.

The release concludes with Bondarev making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Descending Into Heaven’. Russian artist Bondarev has been a DJ for the better part of two decades, sharing the stage with some of progressive music’s most iconic names, while operating as the booking manager for Saint Petersburg’s famed WARPP Club. As a producer, Bondarev first emerged in 2017 with a release via Crossings, a project which would lead to key discography credits courtesy of aboriginal, Mango Alley, Proton’s Particles and most recently via WARPP’s label, where he operates as the A&R. Now, presenting his first remix of 2023, Bondarev debuts on roku with a powerful take on ‘Descending Into Heaven’. Buoyant and energetic across the first movement, Bondarev continues his stylized ways with rippling grooves, flashing percussion and dark stabs creating a prophetic path into the main break. Sitting comfortably in an emotive yet thought provoking space; childlike motifs and sweeping harmonies converge, rising out of calming atmospheres as the interlude evolves, eventually giving way to a thunderous drop and energetic final movement.

PREMIERE: Blanka Barbara - Ever Closer (Original Mix) [roku]

Embark on the Coast Oscura, the stunning debut album from Objects of Affection Collection. This record is a sophisticated, intoxicating journey across the Mediterranean, defining a new frontier in global electronic music: Tribal Noir.

Fusing the driving, hypnotic rhythms of Dark Afro House with the opulence of the Balearic sound, this album is a masterclass in sonic layering. It trades typical synths for genuine, cinematic instrumental drama. You will find yourself immersed in deep-cut tracks driven by a heavy, undeniable bassline, where the passion of the Spanish Guitar meets the melancholic grandeur of Arabic Strings and Horns.

This is a sound built for massive moments—from sunset rituals on the White Isle to the deep pulse of a Moroccan labyrinth. Tracks like "Caravan to Casablanca" and "The Sultan's Tempo" establish the album's core identity: expensive, spiritual, and utterly irresistible.

Coast Oscura is more than an album; it is an exotic invitation to dance Entre Dos Mundos (Between Two Worlds)

Labyrinth of the Souq

From Argentina, Galø and DIVA arrive on the label with two dancefloor's weapons
Rooted in Indie Dance and closely connected to the Argentine underground, their sound reflects years of presence in the scene, from influential radio shows to independent event curation focused on the indie dance music

Exclusive Qubica 'Sonda Lambda'

Deriving from the Italian word 'cubica', which means 'cubique' in English, Italian duo Qubica does not prefer geometrical forms when it comes to their music but an aesthetic that can be found within their music and is more suitable to depict their artistic mind. With their first EP, 'Idoru', that is soon to be released on Engrave Ltd Enrico and Giovanni, how close friends call Qubica, deliver three straight dance floor tracks without musically moving in circles. 'Sonda Lambda', a term and item usually used in the car industry to measure the oxygen content, takes your breath away as soon as the bassline squares, pardon me, meets the memorable chords. Shortly before the release of the track, which is already supported by Ame, Torture the Artist spoke to the duo about their first 'meeting', how everything evolved from there and both's preference for William Gibson's 'Bridge' trilogy. In order to bridge the time to read the interview you can now exclusively stream 'Sonda Lambda' in full.

Qubica's EP 'Idoru' will be released November 16th, 2018 on Engrave Ltd.
