Black Light Smoke - Overdrive

A moody brooding deep house  / progressive house track with a heavy bass dark pads deep stabs and synths

From Behind The Rock

"Expecting" is a beautiful and atmospheric melodic house track that captures the feeling of anticipation and the quiet hope for something new. The song is a gentle, flowing journey driven by a steady, pulsating beat and ethereal textures. With its airy synths and a sense of calm anticipation, the track creates a soundscape that is both introspective and deeply moving.

The production is a masterclass in building a spacious and immersive atmosphere. The track is built around a powerful, pulsating beat and a simple, melodic bassline that provides a deep, resonant foundation. Airy synth pads and shimmering guitars create a sense of vast, empty space, while a simple, repeating melody provides a sense of hope and forward motion. The arrangement is spacious and relies on a slow, steady build, allowing the listener to get lost in the calm, rhythmic groove.

This song is for anyone who loves melodic, atmospheric electronic music. It's the perfect soundtrack for a moment of quiet reflection, a long walk, or for anyone who finds beauty in the quiet moments of life.

Expecting

“Atmos Minimal – Second Wave” takes you deeper into the hypnotic world of minimal techno.  
This album blends rolling sub-bass, glitch textures, and atmospheric synth layers into immersive soundscapes designed for underground clubs, late-night drives, and focused listening.  

Each track carries its own pulse – from ghostly echoes to fractured signals, from static horizons to drifting subwaves. Together they form a cinematic journey through shadow and light, rhythm and silence.  

A continuation of the Atmos Minimal series, “Second Wave” delivers deep, meditative, and psychedelic techno energy for those who seek pure minimal sound.

22 Night Charmer - Pional

Our pal @joelewandowski is a dj and producer from Paris. When he first listened to Masters at Work, he immediately fell in love with soulful music.  Despite an adulterous relationship with techno and his band "the Iron years", he always stayed faithful to his one true love : house music. In 2015, he went to live in New York and released there his first EP "Premiers frissons". Back in Paris, Joe became resident of several clubs and raves like Garage and le Pas-sage. This new EP called  "Lovondasky" is his first one on vinyl. The Parisian producer is trying, with this EP, to blend all of his influences : from raw rythms to leftfield house or italo disco.

Mochi / Liquid Soul / Son Kite / Alex Paterson / Voyager / Rovo / Evan Marc / Jam El Mar / Doc Scott

SYSTEM 7's previous release - the Passion EP - really hits the spot, showing that in 2013 they remain on top of their game with their unique blend of trance and techno.

The most recent full System 7 album UP (released May 2011) tips the balance a bit in a more techno and tech house direction, still showcasing the unique System 7 sound with ultra modern production and a feeling of positivity. The album was inspired by time spent in Berlin. The club single, taken from UP, is PositiveNoise, a collaboration with Berlin-based A Guy Called Gerald, and features a new deep techno remix from Carl Craig and a powerful remix from Japanese techno star A.Mochi. PositiveNoise also has great new Japanese animation video clip

SYSTEM 7’s Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy have had a strong influence on the birth of psychedelic dance music and it’s journey up to the present, forging a unique and bang up-to-date identity on the genre map, in a space where techno, progressive and trance meet – with a healthy side-element of unique quality ambient chill which is connected and reflected in their sister project Mirror System. 

Since the beginning of the 90s System 7 projects have been marked by a series of high powered collaborations, working with Detroit luminaries Derrick May and Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, The Orb, Jam El Mar, Son Kite among others. System 7’s club singles have had outstanding remixes from the likes of Plastikman, James Holden and Dubfire, whose mix of Space Bird was number one on Beatport’s main chart for 2 weeks in 2008.
