Forest On Stasys, co-founder of Danza Nativa, has long been delivering fresh sounds from Buenos Aires. Now, as the year draws to a close, he returns with a new project: Aura Sonora, a label devoted to sonic experimentation and exploration. He will launch the label himself with Magnetismo, a three-track debut available in a limited vinyl run and digital format from 25th November.

The EP’s closing track, Sideral, begins with a deep tribal feel that runs throughout the release, yet this final track offers something distinct. The eerie, low-end tones remain, but they are joined by a fusion of a nostalgic 90s acid vibe and a sense of futurism - a wonderfully executed combination of drum & bass, half-time, and techno, reminiscent in any of his sets.

A strong debut release for Aura Sonora—one designed for the dancefloor.

Premiere: Pianeti Sintetici & Simon Oak - Pluviale

The river was flowing rapidly. The rain from the night before had meant that there was little room for error as they floated on down through the rushing water. The noise was bellowing all around and the rough smacking of waves against the boat was almost frightening at times.

They could see the dense greenery of the jungle all around them on either side as they careered down the rapids, narrowly avoiding the rocks and the dense fog of white as the water surged beneath them.

The sun beamed down from above upon the expedition.

It was hard to tell where they were anymore...

Cafe de la Jungle has become well known for his eclectic take on percussive electronic music which sees him experiment with rhythm and structure in innovative ways. His music is intelligent and hypnotic often leaving you quizzical of its whereabouts or direction - we say this in the best way.

This new record on QEONE is special. A true heads down, lock in affair.

PREMIERE: Cafe de la Jungle - Sumu [QEONE]

Priori’s hit EP Pareidolia gets a well deserved remix treatment. The relation between Priori and Midgar started early 2023 with the release of his Pareidolia EP, where a remix for Keplrr followed quickly the year after. Now, early 2025, a group of close friends and admired artists were invited to rework the Pareidolia’s originals.

Midgar affiliate Forest Drive West uses the opportunity to present not one but two remixes. Presenting one half-time 85 bpm twist of Hazard and another slow-paced murky techno groover. Originally from Montreal, Maara forms the Canadian connection and she turns Memory Palace into a beautiful bouncy dub-techno floater. Sound experimentalist Notte Infinita takes his turn on Pareidolia’s title track and creates some magnificent eyes-closed drum & bass hypnotism. At last, Amsterdam’s upsammy brings back the light with her iconic playful approach. She flips the steady groove of Glass Shards into a jumpy interplay of rhythms and joy.

I had the pleasure to produce a little tune with a housy touch for UK based label @wisdomteeth-uk 🐸 They are about to release a huge brilliant compilation called 'Pattern Gardening', honoured to be part of this! 
My track is definitely a cheeky one with fun arrangement. Hope you enjoy it 🎈

With 'Mica', Illinois-based artist @zvrra delivers a kaleidoscopic EP that pushes the boundaries of genre and form. Drawing from techno, breakbeat, ambient, and electronica, Zvrra weaves a sonic tapestry that is as intricate as it is imaginative.
Opening with ‚Butterfly‘, the listener is welcomed by a layered interplay of breakbeat rhythm and glistening synths which create a compelling contrast between motion and serenity. The top melody gently flutters, adding a soft emotional tone to the driving groove. The path continues through ‚Wooden Rain‘, where Organic percussion patterns tumble over each other like raindrops on dry wood. The tribal rhythms create a hypnotic momentum that feels both primal and futuristic. Melodies breeze through the third track ‚Prairie Scrub‘ which feel like gusts across a glowing plain. It’s playful and dynamic, evoking the wild beauty of a sun-drenched landscape. Closing with ‚Golden Beetle‘, Zvrra zooms in to a microcosmic world where they lead the listeners on an ambient exploration of chirping tones and looping rhythms, like observing little insects in the act of something strange and sacred.
