Back to where it all began! For the first time since 2018, we’re bringing back the split EP format—the one that kickstarted our journey. This format holds a special place in our hearts, as it perfectly embodies our mission: to give a platform to emerging artists and spread the fresh energy they bring to the scene.

This release brings together Yesca and HATT.D, two artists we first connected with through our Happy House compilations, now delivering a full-length statement of their own.

Across six tracks, HT25 is crafted for the dancefloor—built for peak-time sets, open-air moments, and the raw energy of festival season.

Out May 23rd on vinyl and digital.

NODO returns to Loot Recordings with Ideas That Flew Off The Paper , a five-track EP that captures the delicate beauty of deep, expressive house music. Full of playful textures and understated emotion, the release threads jazz-inspired instrumentation, lush atmospheres, and crisp rhythms into a tapestry of dreamlike movement. It opens with “ An Old Sea ,” a moody daydream of brushed percussion, off-kilter piano, and brass notes that echo the mood of a late-night jazz café. “There In The Mirror ” brings a soulful swing and laid-back groove, where restrained melodies and gentle keys float above a warm low-end. The mood turns deeper with “ Where Silence Sails,” as a
gliding bassline anchors rich piano chords and ambient textures in a subtle dance between melancholy and motion. Berlin’s Alejandro Mosso reimagines “An Old Sea” into a hypnotic slow-burner, looping the piano riffs into a swirl of immersive pads and soft strings that evolve with cinematic warmth. Rounding out the package,Facundo Losardo reshapes “Something” into a club-ready cut — transforming the ambient original into a rolling groove filled with tension, release, and late-night flair

Captain Mustache & Mel E. Logan & Drop Empowering New Anthem "Pen Weapon"
Following their previous collaborations ("Mentally Naked" and "Good Weather Girl"), Mel E. Logan (formerly of electro-pioneers Chicks on Speed) and Captain Mustache reunite for their latest sonic gem—"Pen Weapon."
A happy, melancholic tinged celebration of artistic empowerment, the track champions the unifying force of language and creativity—proving that words and music can forge bonds stronger than the weapons industry and the oppressive systems running rampant today.
With lyrics like “Hold me friends, I got your back / A curtain falls, take a look—it hung from a tiny hook,” the song reminds us that even seemingly unshakable structures can be toppled
departure from CoS:
Mel E. Logan steps boldly into her solo era, teaming up once more with Captain Mustache for a track that’s as uplifting as it is rebellious.
"Pen Weapon"—out now—is a call to arms (or rather, pens!) for unity, resistance, and the transformative power of art.

Give It Up

JJ West - Give It Up

As a label that is always on the lookout for the freshest new music, there's something extra special about being there for the very beginning of an artist's journey. With less than 1000 monthly listeners and no placings in the DJ charts, zacku will be a new name for most. For us, he's a future deep house star and "Lies" is a slow-burning banger. Its combination of killer chords, lively bass and a hooky, hypnotic vocal passed our "would we buy it" test with aplomb. Dive in.

Vasil Ivanov The Editor – Dark Side of The Waveforms
Between the Shadows and the Light of Electronic Sound

Emerging from the creative intersections of Sofia and Vienna, Vasil Ivanov The Editor returns with a powerful new release: “Dark Side of The Waveforms” out now via Ultra Collective and ESOM Records.

Fusing analog warmth, cinematic tension, and haunting vocal fragments, the track pushes beyond genre labels. Rooted in melodic techno with touches of progressive and ambient, Vasil sculpts a world where sound design meets emotional depth. Think: if Hans Zimmer made club music.

As a former film editor, Vasil channels his storytelling instincts into every production — crafting each track like a scene with purpose, tension, and release. His music reflects a journey between light and shadow, structure and improvisation, always with a strong human pulse.

Supported by forward-thinking imprints Ultra Collective and ESOM Records, this release speaks to a new wave of producers blending underground energy with cinematic soul.
