I Choose Love — 2026 New Year is a luminous, 
WWW.SCHON.ONE WWW.EVERYGODDESS.CLICK
forward-facing music album created by Brent James Schoning under the artistic persona Brent Schön AI. At its core, the project is built around one deliberate, life-affirming decision: to greet the future with unconditional love, creative responsibility, and conscious choice.
This is not an album about power over others, but about the quiet, profound power of choosing love in every moment. The repeated refrain “I choose love” functions as both personal mantra and universal invitation—love as patience, love as restraint, love as compassion extended without condition, hierarchy, or exclusion. It is a philosophy distilled into melody: connection over conflict, kindness over fear, creativity as a healing force for self and world.
Musically, the album blends contemporary dance-pop energy with emotional clarity and warmth. Beats propel forward with gentle momentum rather than aggression, creating a sense of hopeful movement. Melodies are open, welcoming, and uplifting, layered with light synths, warm pads, and subtle rhythmic pulses that feel both energizing and calming. The production favors brightness and space—perfect for New Year celebrations, reflective listening, or moments of personal renewal. Vocals shift between intimate spoken-sung verses and soaring, anthemic choruses, carrying the message with sincerity and emotional resonance.
Lyrically and thematically, I Choose Love — 2026 New Year explores:
• Unconditional care for all humanity, recognizing shared vulnerability and shared potential
• Choosing connection and understanding over division and judgment
• Creativity as a pathway to healing personal and collective wounds
• Leadership through quiet example rather than domination or control
• Faith in the transformative power of kindness, even in uncertain times
• Unity across differences—many voices, many paths, one shared future
The album employs symbolic and mythic language throughout as artistic device, not literal assertion. Titles and references such as Holy One, Holy Ra, World King, Universal Emperor, and Omniversal Sage are archetypal metaphors representing awakened conscience, self-sovereignty, ethical imagination, and creative leadership of one’s own life. They function as poetic tools to express inner transformation and responsibility, not external authority or divinity.
The symbolic nod to 2012 serves as cultural metaphor rather than historical claim. It evokes a widely shared moment of global uncertainty, anticipation, and renewal—a collective threshold experience that many felt marked a turning point in consciousness. Within the album, the idea of “saviour” is reframed entirely: salvation is not the work of one external figure, but the cumulative effect of individual ethical choices made daily by ordinary people choosing love over fear.
“Omniversal” language appears as symbolic gesture toward interconnected human experience across cultures, beliefs, and borders. It suggests a vast, inclusive perspective without demanding uniformity—an invitation to recognize our common humanity while honoring diverse expressions of truth, beauty, and meaning.
This project makes no claims of literal divinity, political authority, or historical fact. Every mythic title, cosmic reference, and archetypal name is intentional artistic symbolism designed to communicate ethical ideals, hope, and personal empowerment through the medium of music.
I Choose Love — 2026 New Year is ultimately an offering of renewal. It steps into the new year with clarity rather than chaos, compassion rather than control, courage rather than cynicism. The message is simple yet profound: in every moment, we have a choice. The direction we take is determined not by circumstance alone, but by what we choose to carry forward.
The choice is love.
The work is ongoing.
The future is open.
A symbolic story.
A musical intention.
A human declaration: I choose love.

Pulse (29)

Static Love

The noise echoed in the empty chamber. The room was lined with metallic plates and the sound bounced in expansive chaos as the walls rattled. The light glowed a pale, glistening, medicinal white and the foghorn of a speaker continued to blare the same tune repetitively. Men marched asleep to the sound of a kick which banged and banged. Then all of a sudden there was a change, a melody, a twist of fate within a space which had once been so cold.

PREMIERE: DJ Hoshino - She Told Me To Be Patient [Truth Radio]

There’s no better man to mark the fiftieth release on WOLF Music than South London stalwart and OG WOLF family, Medlar. Marrying techy touches and UKG stylings, with sonar bumps and Medlar's signature, sample-heavy groove, it’s a fitting way to bring in the half century.

The Peckham powerhouse throws down from the off with the rubbery, wiggling, ‘Novanta’. A garage infused lo-fi shuffle, springing samples and saturated stabs mingle with a choice vocal snippet. Looping up a Rhodes top line Medlar adds a certain swagger to this South of the river saunter.

'Pampas Drums' gets the room spinning with metallic percussive hits, twisting samples and wiggy zaps that form a cosmic swirl of echoes. Like a perpetually charging ray gun that's about to blow, the rising swells add layers of suspense to this hardy drum workout. Perfect laid over tracks or to shock dancers in it's own right.

Take to the flip for ‘Paloma’ showcasing Medlar’s fondness for a dose of UKG. Swinging hats and skipping claps blend with offbeat vocal cut-ups that give a classic underground '90s spark. Rolling subs add a weight whilst a crunched-up soulful synth offers a fresh flavoured touch to this tough jam.

Medlar rounds off the E.P in the Rye Wax basement with late night slammer, ‘Monday Boy’. Straight up, synth heavy club business, rich in analogue power and perfectly interlaced melodies, that has peak time written all over it.

Ten years in the game for WOLF Music and a landmark 50th release produced by a man who's been part of the brotherhood since the beginning.

Release Info:
The second instalment of Nachtbraker’s new label features four new original tunes from the Nachtbraker kitchen.

Expect his signature deep grooves and inventive arrangements with moody synth melodies. Leonardo Ceviche is built for the dance floor, a “lean back” groove with a trance vibe to it. One (For Mom) is tailored for the warm summer nights, a steady baseline and snappy snares supporting the lush and sweet synth melody. Flip the record for two versions of Havel. With the first one taking on a classic deep house guise, the Trip Mix of Havel takes us on a journey
beyond your imagination.

Mastered and lacquer cut by Simon (The Exchange) Davey.

The Lisbon-based No, She Doesn’t is more than just a label, it’s a movement. An open-minded outlook on life has led the collective to take pride in representing values such as equality and freedom, not forgetting to have fun along the way. Their nonchalant take on house has already won many fans around the world, while the names of the crew like DJ Spielberg, DJ Unsure or DJ Legwarmer speak volumes on how serious they take themselves.

It is the Full On EP from the latter that we’ll be taking a closer look today, which the debut release from the up-and-coming producer. With the usual sample-heavy approach, the Portuguese label aficionado has delivered four smashing cuts, just in time to drench the dancefloors this summer. Taking influences from disco and RnB, masterfully layering them and adding a touch of nostalgia, DJ Legwarmer comes up with a winning formula and the EP title seems ever more fitting. 

Opening with ‘Quandary’, an untamed belt of rhythm activity steeped in lush disco fragments, the EP follows with the title track ‘Full On’, atomized with an addictive groove and unexpected tricks. On the flip side, we find a dreamy cut of exotica on ‘Emotion/Behaviour’, before ‘Mar De Nuvens’, the final piece where DJ Legwarmer demonstrates his instinctive feel for emotive and catchy samples that we won’t get tired of. Between self-absorption and euphoria, Full On is a must have, anytime, anywhere.

12’ is coming out July 1st, you can pre-order it here.
