Humble B Flats - Blessings of Sun double disk, coming out on Pond Life Records is a sonic spiritual voyage and document of the artist's last three years, overcoming grief and challenges - while deepening a sense of gratitude for the teachings and learnings along the way.

Musically this has translated, to a beautiful series of works, inspired by musical cultures around the world, this Deep House album is infused with jazz, psychedelia , tribal and heartwarming sounds and grooves.

With exception to collaboration with Kudo Sol and Ilja Gussarov (on tracks B1 & C1 respectively) all instruments, as ever, are played, recorded, rearranged and mixed by Humble B Flat, with a more sample based approach to the rhythmic grooves.

This is a casual collection of tracks created in different corners of the world, fully reflecting my taste and perspective on music. It’s filled with intricate details born from escapism - like collages torn from reality, resembling fragments of strangers’ stories accidentally overheard from passersby.

 In this compilation are tracks by artists you won’t find on official charts, but whose sound is unforgettable. Noisy loops, crispy beats, distorted vocals, and cold electronics sound as if transmitted through an encrypted channel. Each composition is like a hidden message understood only by those who know where to look.

 No rules, no censorship, no regard for algorithms - just the energy of an underground scene born from chaos and anonymity. I dedicate this collection to those who inspired me to create it - to those who once believed in me, believe now, and never stop believing.

PREMIERE : Lucid Distraction - The Edge

PREMIERE : Pleasure Voyage - Reunion

Paris-based friends and confidants CLAP42 and WTNS surface with a misty-eyed house track that feels tailor-made for the soft light of dawn. What started as a sampling exercise turned into a slow-burning, smile-inducing groove - equal parts cheeky and tender.

Behind the CLAP42 moniker is a Parisian producer and member of the Skylax crew. His knack for broken beats, soft-saturated synths, and intuitive sequencing gives the track its pulse. At the heart of it is WTNS’ voice - raspy, dreamy, and gently guiding each act. Nearly a decade ago, her first vocal demo “Persian Leaves” appeared quietly on SoundCloud: a raw sketch of a voice still taking shape, already carrying the emotional weight it now commands. 

Light on its feet but heavy with feeling, this is house music with a pulse and a wink - made for the end of the night, or maybe the start of something else.

Old time friend of the label and major artist of the downtempo scene of the South of France, Fred Berthet is signing Global Warming latest release. Much respected for his works as DJ Steef, Copyshop or Troublemakers (with DJ Oil & Arnaud Taillefer), he delivered us two downtempo acid jams, filled with sexual tension, seeping walls and slow orgy. It also features remixes from our all-time favorites Italian balearic band, Mushrooms Project, who sends us back a superb organic and solar vision or the original track and on the opposite, Global Warming’s founder Malcolm (@mmaallccoollmm), signing a bestial and deliciously obscure cover. Hope you enjoy it !

Harrison BDP - Panacea [Lost Palms]

Fresh from releases on his own Polymath Records, as well as Natura Sonoris and Sodai, that have seen support from the likes of Maceo Plex or Bicep ; UK producer Third Son debuts on Dusky’s 17 Steps imprint with the "Machine Love" EP.  
 The synth laden four tracker uses electro, acid, techno and breakbeat influences to provide a rugged and bold reflection of the current clubbing landscape; one that is set to melt underground dance-floors this autumn.
"Machine Love"s squelchy synths and gritty percussion build towards a chopped and skewed finale, that has proved a ferocious piece of club artillery in Dusky’s sets this summer.

OOSSHA continues her path with a second release by G. Markus titled Warning! OOSSHA is an outlet for music that’s dedicated to house and alternative styles while always maintaining ferce and unique ingredients that conquer hearts.

UK producer Ben Gomori revisits his G. Markus alter ego for an EP that pays tribute to the Jungle and Drum & Bass soundtrack of his formative years. Dreemscape ’93 opens the EP; a vibey piece that instantly recalls old school house tracks with its use of a contagious groove, fltered elements and a specifc vocal sample taken from Dreamscape's 1993 NYE party. On the same side we fnd queniv turning B side track The Sleepless Moon into his unique blend of breakbeat elements and twisted ambient layers.

On the fipside, Roger Gerressen turns Dreemscape 93’ into his own interpretation of lo-f fltered chord sweetness and combining it with hypnotizing Rhodes patterns. B2 makes space for the original Sleepless Moon which is all about the rhythms. Intricate midi programming triggers acoustic drum samples that intertwine with twinkling ear candy and a jungle break before breaking up the patterns with an infectious bassline.

Andy Ash has been quietly sneaking out seriously good analogue-driven electronic music on some of the best underground labels for over a decade. The Liverpool-based producer, DJ and visual artist has graced the likes of Chicago’s Stilove4music, NYC’s On The Prowl, Sydney’s People Must Jam and has remixed Fantastic Man for Detroit label Kolour LTD amongst many others. The bottom line is that he’s definitely one of the UK’s unsung heroes when it comes to deep, raw, Chicago and Detroit-influenced house music and Delusions of Grandeur is proud to welcome him with an amazing three tracker entitled the Bottleneck EP.

The title track opens with snappy hats, flappy congas and sloppy baseline all sitting perfectly in the mix and with a looseness that is much harder to achieve that it may seem. A simple synth melody doubles up the bassline while an extra square wave lead adds that little extra hook without distracting us from the bouncing groove. With Bottleneck, less is definitely more.

Flipping over we have Hump, an altogether darker affair with a twisting acid line joining distorted 808 drums and tripped-out snippets of spoken word coming in and out of focus. The low-slung bumpy groove and spacey synth parts make this a compelling warehouse track which will draw everyone into it’s seductive confines.

Closing the release we have Actual Price, a shuffling, deep groover with rumbling low end and machine-like analogue synth part skipping around the crunchy beats. A cerebral yet punchy and dynamic closer to an excellent release!

PREMIERE: Andy Ash - Hump

Bombing down a series of country roads somewhere in the south west, they rocket towards town. Fuelled by a healthy dose of hedonism and an endless playlist, the aim of the evening is simply the pursuit of music and guilty pleasure. The dulcet tones of distorted kick drums and squelching bass blasting from the speakers incites unparalleled joy, whilst the taxi driver questions his decision to confirm rumours of an aux cable. Following a series of exclamatory statements about what tonight holds and a moment at a red light with an adjacent taxi overflowing with thrill seekers, they arrive outside the venue and feast on the energy of the densely stocked queue. 

The legendary Seoul-based electronic label Honey Badger Records returns with their third compilation HBRTRX Vol.3. An institution in their home city and an integral part of Korea’s electronic music scene, Honey Badger’s latest release features 10 tracks of outstanding house and techno produced by label mates and a handful of invited guests. Our pick, Mignon's ‘Mind Flow’, is a mind melting breakbeat cut that’s brimming with insanely tight drum work and elastic basslines.

PREMIERE: Mignon - Mind Flow [Honey Badger]
