Big groove energy meets subtle satire. “Control (CTRL)” is for everyone tired of men who perform strength but can’t handle real connection. 

Heavy beats. Deep layers. Ironic bite.

Cover art? Buff dude with an elephant head – need I say more?

Play loud. Lose control.

CTRL

Whispers. Shadows. Obsession. ❌❌❌
A beat that pulls you under,
a voice that undresses your secrets.
No lights, no lies.
Just you, me… and what we hide when the night gets deep enough.
🖤 Meet me in the dark. Tell me your perversion.🖤
You’re safe here.
And dangerously exposed.
🎧 “In The Dark” – OUT NOW on all platforms 🎧

Robert Fell - In The Dark  (extended mix) [HUMANIZE Rec]

exclusive | Marko Nastic - Sour Pie | Silias Records

There’s something beautifully twisted about the way Sour Pie hits - not sweet, not bitter, but a flavor in between, like a late-night thought you can’t quite shake. It’s the A1 track on “How Delicious“, the fifth release from Parisian imprint Silias Records, and a sharp, brooding opener that wastes no time with pleasantries. Veteran Serbian producer Marco Nastic - a name etched into Eastern Europe’s club DNA for over two decades - shows here that his edge hasn’t dulled. If anything, it’s been honed into a weapon for late-night release.

From the jump, “Sour Pie” stomps in with a bassline. Minimal in shape but not in effect, the low-end pulses like a heartbeat under pressure, its small tonal mutations subtle enough to seduce but constant enough to propel. It’s not flashy. It’s focused. The kind of groove that coils around you slowly until you realize you’re no longer walking - you’re moving.

Above the bass, metallic percussion twitches like machinery under dim lights, while chopped, stuttering vocal fragments flicker like overheard confessions at the edge of a warehouse rave. They're not meant to be understood but rather felt even though the message “Let the beat control your body“ is clear. Midway through, the tension thins out into a break-laced passage, where breakbeat patterns scatter like broken glass underfoot. There’s a fragility here, a sudden collapse into texture, before the groove reforms - darker, tighter, hungrier.

This is Marco Nastic doing what few can: writing a dancefloor weapon that doesn’t bark or bite, but breathes. “Sour Pie” is technical without being cold, hypnotic without being hollow. It's music for strobe-lit basements and heads-down dancers, the kind of track that DJs play not because it's flashy, but because it works — relentlessly, precisely, without apology.

As the first bite of "How Delicious“, “Sour Pie” sets the table with a sharp palate cleanser - a reminder that good taste doesn’t have to be sweet. Sometimes it’s sour, metallic, and utterly addictive. And with Marco Nastic at the controls, it’s always going to be served hot.

The Church @ Es Paradis Ibiza 2025 - Mix by HuvinBeat

The Church @ Es Paradis Ibiza 2025 03.05.25

Snake Beat is pleased to present release number 264, captained by Stefano Albanese With Sunlight Echoes


Sunlight Echoes (Sc Edit)

Pronto Come Va - (The Kolors) Afro Remix

SUMMER MIX 2025

This song is a celebration of club music, where the base accompanied by the vocal finds the dynamic elements in the track in a story accompanied by a warm voice. The drop is thought of the simplicity of the genre that is fundamentally characterized by drums and vocals to please the dancefloor.

Alex Drift stands for a straightforward, clear, very melodic and catchy electronic sound. His main focus at the moment is on boogie house beats, disco basslines and catchy vocal hooks. Alex Drift likes to leave his comfort zone and try out other genres to challenge himself, try out and discover new things.

Alex is no newcomer to the field of electronic music and has been living in Berlin for 20 years. There he has already released under different pseudonyms on labels like Vinyl Vibes Records, Vienna Scientists, Ministry of Sound or Stereo Deluxe and won 2nd place at the Land Rover Music Award.

With the move from Berlin to Mainz came the new project Alex Drift. It should become housier and more electronic without losing the focus on soulful vibes. After the first album R.E.H.A.B., on which he processed a near-death experience due to health problems, it continued with the singles Spring Fever, Passion, Gracefull and Bad Boys.

The singles are the consistent processing of the album and the question of what we want from life, who we love, how we live and what is actually important to us. Alex always tries to find a meta-level in his songs, which definitely takes up and processes a contemporary content. First and foremost, it is about a positive lifestyle and the classic yes to life. Maybe now you understand better what intention Alex pursues with his songs and why he wants to convey this positive attitude towards life with his songs. 

In this sense: Keep up the Good Vibes!

HuvinBeat is the musical project of Hugo Calvo, a DJ and producer born and based in Ibiza. His journey in music began at an early age, studying classical violin at the conservatory from the age of 8. That classical foundation later became the base for a broader exploration of sound, leading him into soundtrack composition for video games and short films, and eventually into electronic music production.

In 2022, he completed a Higher National Diploma in Music Production, which helped him deepen his studio skills and shape his sonic identity. The following year, in 2023, he started DJing professionally with full equipment, although he had been experimenting with DJ software since a young age.

His sets blend Tech House, Minimal Tech, and Melodic Techno, inspired by artists like Joseph Capriati, Franky Rizardo, and Mind Against, as well as the influence of classical composers who shaped his early years as a musician.

Between 2023 and 2024, he released three Melodic Techno singles with the label Moonlife Records, further developing his voice as a producer and connecting with a wider audience.

During this time, HuvinBeat has played at venues and events such as A Summer Story, Es Paradis, Lolas Club, and Ocean Drive Ibiza. He also hosts a weekly radio show called Island Grooves on the local station Ibiza Paradise Radio, where he explores the deeper side of electronic music.

In 2023, he won the Trade DJ Contest, organized by Trade DJ and the A Summer Story festival—an encouraging milestone that has motivated him to keep growing, learning, and sharing his music with honesty and passion.
