For the third time this month the place was had been ransacked. There was shattered glass everywhere, the curtains had been slashed to pieces, and clothes lay strewn across the floor. It was almost as chaotic as the thoughts that clouded his mind; maybe he'd brought this mess on himself? Perhaps his actions had sealed his fate and he'd simply have to deal with the consequences? Again. He knew the aftermath would be catastrophic but he prayed this would be the last time he'd be punished...

Under his given name Mexican producer Alex Aguayo has made a name for himself through his dark, synth-driven electronics which have formed releases on the likes of Paradiso Records, Fucanglong Files, Night Noise and more. His other alias Mahkina is more focused on trance-tinged sounds, moving between slow burners, progressive goodness and straight-up euphoria. So far he's released EPs on for Haunted Space and U're Guay, and now he's hopping across the pond to Barcelona via Argentina imprint Diffuse Reality for his debut long player which brings together all those flavours in one.

PREMIERE: Mahkina - Aftermath [Diffuse Reality]

"Any moment can crash your emotional state of mind. You are looking for help. You can’t find it with-inside of you. A Diamond shines twice a day. The night can be day and vice versa.

"We love you, no doubt. Our friends love you too. Do you love yourself? A Zebra is not a unicorn but is still unique. Who are you to tell us We can’t do it?"

ava. label boss and Robert Johnson affiliate Damiano von Erckert is landing on the aforementioned club's in-house label, two years after his Space, Diversity, No Limits 12". This time he's sharing a full long player, Euphoric Spirits, which transports us straight onto the dance floor and, as its name suggests, it's full of eyes-closed euphoria. Taking cues from the roots of Chicago and Detroit he shares a batch of emotive house, rave and electro cuts that take you out of your head and into your body.

Damiano von Erckert - Euphoric Spirits

PREMIERE: Damiano von Erckert - Random Waves [Live at Robert Johnson]

This had never been part of the plan – not like this, not at such scale. The night was dark and cold all around them as they wandered through the forest in search of a way out. Who knew the woods went so deep and beyond what they might ever had imagined? Such expansion was unprecedented, dense thick greenery everywhere which swallowed the light.

Soon the night would come, heaven forbid they were still wandering, looking for a way out.

In the distance they could hear the noise of the city, yet they were on the outskirts, lost in the trees.

Stevie Cox is set to release a new EP via Optimo’s digital label, the Glasgow based Sub Club resident has become highly regarded in the booth and now turns focus towards the studio with a killer EP based on progressive, cosmic sounds destined to uplift on the dancefloor.
