There were endless lights flickering and flashing. The machines chirped and whizzed with urgent purpose. He was sat there, watching and observing it all with a concentration and focus like no other. Some might call him a control freak, yet he knew what every illuminated bulb or glitch meant as everything kicked into life with delicate precision.

Locked away, he was the commander of it all, the machinery at his mercy.

Outside the fog hung thickly, the darkness smothered it all as the grid came tumbling down.

Chaos would follow.

Ams releases a killer new EP made up of classy house music and elegant rhythms on Friendsome Records. A progressive affair with club ready energy.

PREMIERE: Ams - Control Freak [Friendsome Records]

We come together once again to showcase Aterral's growth over the last year with an undeniably hard-hitting compilation. Our fourth anniversary VA is special, as it brings forth some of our most recent family members and puts them aside older ones.

As part of CUATRO we bring you Black Loops with 'Balance & Harmony', an elegant blend of eclectic sounds and a jerky guitar wah. Carlo & Baloo follow with 'Best Maldito', a track bursting with an infectious rhythm. Intr0beatz’s 'Where The Party At' delves into ambient depth with rippling synths. Marina Trench delivers 'Because We', featuring a playful piano melody and upbeat energy that pushes boundaries with its lively touch.

Caleb Jackson’s 'The Partylife' fuses high energy, gospel influences, and an acidic bassline. Tatie Dee & Ams contribute 'Underwater', a futuristic, bubbly piece with progressive elements. Emanuele Barilli’s 'Midnight Forty' takes us back to the 90s with a trance-infused, breakbeat house sound that resonates with nostalgia. 'Summer Ending' by Horsemen brings a jazz-swing groove paired with a deep, thumping bassline, perfectly capturing the wistful end-of-summer mood. Airplane Mood & Tali Freeman’s 'Trust' offers a soulful, mystical finale with Khadija as a vocalist, to close off our compilation.

OIC Asset Management Sub-committee - 3rd December 2024

Piña at The Supermercat in El Raval, Barcelona 🌴🎶

What looks like an ordinary supermarket from the outside transforms in an intimate bar and club on the inside: The Supermercat in the beautiful city of Barcelona. This club was founded only recently by the owners of Brunch Electronik Barcelona, opening their second location in Raval, due to great success.

After the having played the extended 3-hour set, I was invited to play another house set for Piña. This set is full of new fresh tunes from Ruze, M-HIGH, Milion, Main Phase and many other great DJs and producers. It was an honor and lovely experience to once again bring my music to Barcelona. Wishing everyone a fantastic ending of 2024!

OIC Asset Management Sub-committee - 28th January 2025

Paradiso is an iconic institute for Amsterdam’s performing artists a true “pop temple.” It’s where I experienced my first ever concert as a child and where countless unforgettable moments have unfolded, from performances by the biggest pop icons to intimate listening sessions of friends. 

Housed in a historic church, Paradiso has always been a place with a deep connection to the city. Its spirit resonates not just through its architecture but through the passion of its employees and the artists who grace its stages. 

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being part of this magical venue. From organizing sold out shows to holding artist residencies, Paradiso remains close to my heart to this day.

To honor what this place means to me, I’ve created Paradiso EP, a collection of four songs inspired by its essence. The tracks feature interviews, live crowd recordings, and moments from performances that have shaped my journey as an artist.

From me to you,

BSS - Paradiso
BSS - Boven
BSS - Kelder
BSS. - De Prins

Love

Joshua Blake born in new york,guitarist/singer -Out of the Gutter Music, Recorded w Geffen artists etc.Californication/abkco, film,Reservation Road starring Joaquin phoenix ,mark ruffalo, bones, and others ,just too many to be able to mention .  check out Spotify, SoundCloud, A street mystic who puts his soulful touch into his music and his living. My songs are sometimes esoteric,Most important for me are melody ,timing ,organics  and keeping rock n roll what it was and still is amazing and sometimes elusive . when I discovered Guitar at a young  8 years of age ,i was hooked .I couldn't get enough music of all genres . I had been approached by quite a few labels when the big labels were looking to sign talent mostly they all blew a lot of smoke up my arse ,telling me how talented they thought I was and how they had a vision for marketing my career .I alas had no one in my corner ,even though a manager and or management in the end usually steals from the talent they handle ,had I had someone experienced in my corner things could've have gone down much smoother for me and my career.  something I wasn't savvy at around that time . For me songwriting is always unpredictable.Without sexual innuendos , a touch of humor,soulfulness and let's not forget to say what you mean and mean what you say ! A wise guideline stated by John Lennon himself ,Without letting your true self come thru and connecting w others ,What's the point really . Let the magic happen...J B

Julien en événementiel 🎭 Minh en club (mon prénom vietnamien)

Passionné de musique depuis 2005 (depuis mes premiers souvenirs) grâce à un père DJ et à une famille de musiciens, j'ai touché de nombreux instruments dans mon enfance comme la guitare, le piano ou même le violon et c'est avec l'UCPA Ecole Des DJ de Lyon que j'ai pu commencer à vivre de ma passion à partir de 2023. J'en ai aussi été diplômé en finissant sur le podium au sein de l'AMS 68.

Musicalement parlant, mon univers tourne actuellement autour de la house 90 (comme la Garage, la Soulful ou la French Touch) et aussi autour de la Minimale House, la Micro House ou la Deep House.

Ayant un certain nombre de mariages, d'anniversaires et d'événements d'entreprises aux platines je me suis tourné vers la musique généraliste dans le monde professionnel bien que je préfère la musique électronique en général. 

Bonne écoute :)
