exclusive | Flash FM - Petit Chateau | Attention Spin!

Attention Spin! returns for its third chapter, “Il était une fois le bien le mal” - a five-track ensemble that feels like a musical fable of contrasts, weaving between light and shadow, pop and underground, sexy nostalgia and modern club heat. The vinyl-imprint run by Dawidu continues to stake its claim as a playground where various sub-genres of electronic music and eccentricity not only coexist but thrive.

Flash FM (P.O & U-Died aka Mare) opens the story with “Petit Château”, a quirky yet sleek House cut that leans on computerised vocals and a buoyant bassline. The synth line flows with just the right dose of ease, making this opener a go-to for DJs who want to set a mood without forcing it – simple, classy, and straight to the floor.

P.O & N2o follow with “Game Over”, a tune that wears its 80s influence with pride. A lush, melodic synth line weaves around an Electro skeleton, delivering something that’s at once sensual and playful. It’s cheeky, it’s danceable, it’s the kind of track that makes you wish for a smoke machine, a strobe, and a crowd that knows how to move their hips.

Closing the A-side, P.O & Yoann TDI bring “Je ne dis jamais rien” - and nothing about this track is silent. Addictive pop-leaning vocals, paired with an Italo-tinted Electro groove, create a late-summer anthem that clings to your head long after the needle lifts. It’s playful but sharp, uplifting yet just twisted enough to work in the depths of a night.

Flip to the B-side and Tibahuult teams up with Ana for “Breath”. The Electro DNA is still there but stripped of overt 80s cues, making space for Ana’s sultry vocals to do the heavy lifting. The result is intoxicating - a track you don’t just hear but feel on your skin, the kind that turns dancefloors into intimate encounters.

To close, Tibahuult and label-head Dawidu deliver “Melody”. It’s a fitting finale - pop-tinged, electro-infused, lighthearted yet driving. It doesn’t aim for drama but for closure, the sweet comedown after the rush, leaving dancers with warmth and a smile.

With “Il était une fois le bien le mal”, Attention Spin! proves itself to be more than a label - it’s a stage for narrative, for character, for sound that isn’t afraid to straddle genres or moods. Five tracks, five personalities, one story that lingers.

exclusive | Phil Evans - Away | Freizeit Records

There’s a certain grace in consistency - and few embody it quite like Phil Evans. As the founder of Pager Records, he’s quietly shaped the sound of contemporary House with a signature blend of warmth, precision, and forward-thinking groove. Over the years, Evans has turned Pager into a breeding ground for refined producers such as Vitess, Christian Sarde, and Tiago Walter, but "E-Motions" feels like his defining statement: a double LP that doesn’t just compile tracks, but unfolds as a full-scale listening experience - equal parts club weaponry and emotional introspection.

“Away” expands the opening palette into lush Ambient House. Its dreamlike male vocals ripple over rounded basslines and fluid percussion, evoking the soft pulse of early-morning light. Evans crafts movement through texture rather than tempo; every layer breathes. It’s immersive, meditative, and quietly euphoric - a track that feels equally at home in a sunrise set or through headphones at 4 a.m.

The A-side closes with “Eazin”, a tribal-tinged Deep House cut that merges shimmering synths with hypnotic percussion. There’s a loose, organic flow reminiscent of Pacific State’s Balearic mystique, yet the production feels wholly contemporary - crisp, detailed, and alive. It’s a reminder that Evans doesn’t copy moods; he modernizes them. “Eazin'” captures that late-morning dancefloor serenity - all motion, no tension.

“Deep” is a track that lives up to its name - a stripped-back, floor-ready cut with a hypnotic drive and a bassline that practically hums through your chest. There’s tension in its restraint, energy in its subtlety. The melody rolls endlessly, while the drums flicker like sparks - understated power at its finest.

“Vibe” rounds out the C-side in slightly leftfield territory. Warped textures and curious sound fragments interact with a steady, grounded groove. It’s weird in the best way - a gentle reminder that experimentation and functionality can still dance together without friction.

exclusive | Light Blue File - 4th Of The Punks | Distrikt Paris

With “4th Of The Punks”, Light Blue File crafts a track that feels like both an homage and an evolution - a future-facing nod to the golden era of French Touch, refracted through the gritty, underground lens of Distrikt Paris. It’s the standout moment on his Fourth Of The Punks EP: an Electro-House hybrid charged with funk, attitude, and an unmistakable pulse that bridges nostalgia and innovation.

The track launches with a strutting groove - chunky bassline, crisp percussion, and an ever-so-slight Acid sizzle that coils around the rhythm. But it’s the robotic vocal - “Music sounds much better with you” - that seals its mischievous charm, a wink to Daft Punk’s enduring influence without slipping into imitation. Instead, Light Blue File distills that inspiration into something rawer, rougher, and more human in its imperfections.

Every element feels engineered for motion: the way the acid bleeps flutter against the funk-infused low end, the shuffling swing of the drums, the slow build of euphoria that never tips into excess. “4th Of The Punks” doesn’t explode - it locks in, hypnotizing dancers through groove repetition and sleek modulation rather than obvious peaks.

It’s both a love letter and a reinterpretation - the sound of an artist who grew up idolizing machines but now makes them sweat. Light Blue File doesn’t just channel the spirit of French electronic pioneers; he reboots it, infusing it with underground grit and a wink of irreverent fun.
