Sinchi Music returns with the twelfth volume of its influential Altered States series, featuring artists from all over the world.

All sales from this not-for-profit release will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation to support Indigenous forest guardians in the Brazilian Amazon.

We open with Tassilo Vanhöfen, a visionary musician whose work reflects a profound appreciation for both the organic and synthetic, creating a dynamic interplay that captivates audiences and evokes a sense of introspection. Flow My Tears, an ethereal dance cut inspired by a deep dive into ’90s and 2000s Russian techno, blends nostalgia with emotional depth. Drawing from the genre’s signature vocal-driven, euphoric sound, he channels its distinctive charm, while crafting something uniquely his own.

Next up is Switzerland-based John Parsley, an MPC enthusiast who churns out a track that defies genres, a manifestation of his musical will in its essence. With recurring releases on labels such as Ombra International, Feines Tier to name a few, he proves over and over again that his music speaks for itself. ‘Brain Structure’, In his own words, the drums were entirely programmed on a modified Alesis HR-16B, a raw, punchy, and full of character. Built upon this foundation, the track unfolds into a soundscape which balances structure and chaos (like in his brain).

Nantes-based Dan ChiCharron oscillates between dark disco and psychedelic indie dance. As a resident for two years at Solemne Centro and Azul Rosa in Guatemala, he developed a unique sound influenced by Zillas on Acid and Tolouse Low Trax. A spontaneous night out in Nantes unexpectedly sparked the creation of ‘Random Jackpot’. That raw, hypnotic vibe followed him back into the studio, where it quickly took shape in this minimalist electro beat that carries the energy of a post-punk rebel on acid.

Bruce Wine is a Mexican producer and DJ who has more than eight years of experience in moving the needle in the local scene. With ‘Psycho Disco’, Bruce Wine dives headfirst into the shadows of sound, exploring the duality between dancefloor energy and emotional intensity. It’s a track built on contrasts, where pulsating beats meet cinematic textures.. An immersive experience that blurs the lines between the rational and the emotional, each beat unfolds like a scene in a film, guiding the listener through a parallel universe.

Next up, we welcome Ninasonik, the founder of Vaarian Records. Being immersed in the Mexican scene for the past 10 years has allowed her to share the stage with The Blessed Madonna, Answer Code Request, Volvox, Cabizbajo, and Theus Mago, to name a few. Her creative gift to Sinchi comes in the form of ‘FURIA’. It flows with hypnotic intensity, channeling the kind of night that feels endless. For Ninasonik, the intention is crystal clear: to sonically translate the almost mystical moment, when the self dissolves into the collective pulse of the dancefloor.

Finishing this series is a track that made us fall in love at first listen. Astrochimp, from Cyprus, crafts tracks that mirror life's unpredictable rhythms, purely guided by curiosity and an instinct for the unexpected. ‘Alien Contact’ is a Detroit-inspired electro, reimagined through a futuristic lens. It’s a bold and immersive take on a timeless sound, merging the mechanical soul of Detroit with an exploratory, forward-thinking edge.

PREMIERE: John Parsley - Brain Structure [Sinchi]

“Modern Life,” the upcoming EP from resourceful Brazilian producer Encanto, emerges like a half-remembered dream from the flickering projector of a midnight cinema. Set to release on the Mexican powerhouse Kyma Komplex, this five-track voyage melts acid, deep house, and Balearic hues into a Lynchian palette – where the mundane twists into the surreal. Drawing from urban solitude and the liminal space between sleep and wakefulness, the EP stitches together hypnotic basslines, ethereal pads, and cinematic progressions, crafting a soundscape as suited for dimly lit clubs as for solitary drives through rain-slicked streets. It’s a sonic tapestry woven with threads of nostalgia, longing, and the eerie beauty of the uncanny.

Premiered here, “A Whole Life,” the opening cut, is a paradox – both luminous and weighted, like sunlight filtering through closed blinds. Its buoyant kick drums and achingly tender melodies create a push-and-pull between euphoria and quiet sorrow, a dance-floor daydream with an undercurrent of yearning. The track doesn’t just invite movement; it demands emotional surrender, wrapping the listener in a groove that feels at once intimate and expansive. This is House Music with a heartbeat, pulsing with the quiet magic of a moment suspended in time.

VON BON _ ONYX (SIMULATION FACTOR VERSION)

MAN2.0- Saint Ciccone

Vyvyan returns with “I Have Specific Needs,” a three-cut EP for London-based label Sound Du Jour, run by La Mano (SXDNS270). The UK artist has built a formidable reputation through releases on Lost Property, Paradise Palms, Me Me Me, Love Attack, Bordello A Parigi, Pets, Not An Animal, and Sound Du Jour itself – imprints known for their club-ready deliveries. This latest offering stays true to form, featuring two original productions and a remix by none other than Dharma that reworks the title track into fresh territory. Vyvyan’s sound – equal parts functional and distinctive – has earned consistent support from DJs who value themes with both immediacy and longevity.

Premiered here, “Desperate Liaisons,” one of the highlights of the parcel, exemplifies Vyvyan’s hybrid approach, fusing EBM’s industrial pulse with acid’s raw squelch, and a percussive framework built for peak-time pressure. Razor-sharp synths slice through the mix, while a bassline that refuses to quit ensures dance floors stay locked in. Sound Du Jour’s A&R proves on-point yet again, as the label continues to spotlight music that prioritizes impact over trends. With “I Have Specific Needs,” Vyvyan doesn’t just deliver DJ tools; he offers a statement. From the warehouse-ready thump of the drums to the precisely calibrated tension in the arrangements, every element serves the eager nightlifers in search of highly danceable freshness. It’s a masterclass in modern club music: uncompromising in energy, yet nuanced enough to stand out in sets. As the EP lands in DJ crates worldwide, one thing is clear: Vyvyan remains at the forefront of producers who understand that true club power lies in the balance of force and finesse.

PREMIERE780 // Vyvyan - Desperate Liaisons

Where does a footstep become transgression? When does a tone abandon its harmony and drift into noise?

At what precise instant does a sonic ripple shift from mere dissonance to true disturbance?

Práctica de Límites is a compelling meditation on boundaries—both territorial and tonal.

It draws a provocative parallel between the arbitrariness of geopolitical borders and the fragile thresholds within sound itself.

Through this exploration, it asks not just who belongs where, but what belongs when, sonically speaking.
