The opening track, "Olha Você," which translates to "Look at you" in Portuguese, throws down a gritty groove with a unique and positive twist. The story behind this infectious banger is as unexpected as the sound itself. Inspired by a heated exchange between his neighbor and their child, Sky White isolated the "Olha Você" part, infusing it with infectious energy. The result? A guaranteed dance floor anthem. Supported by Shimza, Kasango, Bun Xapa and Sona.

In "Heartache," LevyM collaborates with fellow Dutch artist Kash Neeve to deliver a powerful blend of emotional resonance and infectious rhythms. The track's unique groove and interpretation of Afro House and Deep House create an immersive experience that is both captivating and cathartic. Drawing on their shared passion for music, LevyM and Kash Neeve craft a song that speaks directly to the heart, inviting listeners to dive deep into their own emotions.

Heartache ft. Kash Neeve - LevyM

"Need Your Love" takes listeners on a journey through the depths of emotion, with LevyM's ethereal synth-chords and soulful melodies weaving a mesmerising tapestry of sound. Inspired by moments of raw inspiration, LevyM delivers a track that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply moving. With its live-recorded drums and introspective lyrics, "Need Your Love" is a testament to LevyM's ability to create music that touches the soul and leaves a lasting impression.

Dive into "Summer Days," the stunning debut solo single by producer/DJ Hope Mash! Released in early 2023, this track captures the essence of summer with deep basslines, evocative chords, and Coco's striking vocals. Inspired by her work on Dorian Craft’s “Stuck in My Head,” Coco's spontaneous lyrics add a layer of urgency and hope. The standout moment? The emotional build-up before the second drop, blending new chords with Coco's poignant voice. "Summer Days" reflects personal experiences and showcases Hope Mash and Coco's artistic evolution.

This project showcases the duo’s ability to fuse their distinct styles into a cohesive narrative, crafting tracks that are as moving as they are powerful.  

Opening with ‘Hold On,’ the EP draws listeners in with soothing, airy vocals sung by Tim in Tsonga. The heartfelt lyrics create a striking contrast with the bold bass-line and dynamic beat, resulting in a track that is as grounding as it is uplifting.

This project showcases the duo’s ability to fuse their distinct styles into a cohesive narrative, crafting tracks that are as moving as they are powerful.  

The title track, ‘Exhale,’ serves as the EP’s emotional peak. A reimagining of one of Son of Dennis’s earliest productions, it comes to life with Casis’s signature bass-lines, balancing delicate melodies with bold, driving energy.

Hailing from a background rich in musical exploration, Ollie Mundy’s sound navigates the boundaries of electronic music with depth and precision. Marking his debut on Sondela Recordings, Ollie brings his evolving creative vision to life with the release of No Pain / Niwewe, a two-track project that showcases his ability to balance raw intensity and emotional resonance.

Niwewe carries a soulful tone, driven by Tashie Wamz’s evocative Swahili vocals. The lyrics, which celebrate the joy of discovering “the one,” imbue the track with a heartfelt emotional core, showcasing Ollie’s talent for blending cultural and sonic elements. A bassline crafted through unexpected experimentation gives the song its final, unforgettable touch.

In contrast, No Pain represents Ollie’s dive into more of a grittier, intense soundscape. Defined by a plucky electric guitar and a raw, pulsing synth, the track thrives on its bold simplicity, creating a powerful, standalone statement. It’s a reflection of Ollie’s experimental approach, embracing the unexpected to push his sound into new territory.

With No Pain / Niwewe, Ollie Mundy demonstrates his passion for creating music that resonates deeply while pushing creative boundaries. It’s a debut that firmly establishes him as a rising talent in the electronic music sphere.

A Bit Afro-house vibes, melodic tracks sometimes even melancholic
Some relaxing dreamy tunes slowly changing over into beautiful atmospheric more uptempo tracks. No tricky special effects, just gorgeous tracks with here and there some acapellas over it.

The dance floor is my natural habitat and, as a music lover, I am cursed to dance whenever I hear a beat. My passion for House re-immersed 2016 after seeing Sam Divine play at a festival. Oh my days!  
I Bought myself a small controller and started to mix, just for the fun of it again oh I LOVE IT! 

Kitchen Table Quality, just for the fun, but so much enjoying it.
Although a fan of all house music styles in its broadest form, if you ask me what  I do love best it must be Jackin' house I reckon.  It doesn't have to be polished and overproduced for me, its the Soul that counts. Enjoy !
