All of a sudden there was daylight, a new dawn. It were as if his whole life had been a mystery and clouded in secrecy until now. Then all would be awakened, a new day would be born and with it would be glimmering bright, golden rays of angelic light from up above.

This was the real sun. Not that which had been promised but a reality from the greater heavens beyond.

Soon they would all dance beneath its triumphant glow, forgetting the dark days which had come before.

Warning offers a home for a new Secretsundaze EP, the longstanding label and project spearheaded now by James Priestley. The record marks a new direction with futuristic, progressive tech driven sounds at the forefront.

PREMIERE: Secretsundaze - The Real Sun [Warning]

Step into the lush, verdant depths of Shjva's sonic jungle—an enchanted forest pulsing with ultra-absorbing dub techno, glitchy rhythms, and deep, hyper-textured grooves. We’ve been impressed by her incredible releases on People & Places and Warning, among others, and now, her latest EP on our label takes that boundary-pushing energy even further. The rising Ukrainian force is joined by Jeku, who flips the script with a mind-bending trip to Goa mix, catapulting the journey into a dreamlike, transportive realm.

Kulture Galerie returns with its fourth vinyl compilation, this time showcasing a futuristic collection of Techno and Tech House weapons with hints of Braindance, Electro and Acid. The compilation opens with tracks by London’s rising star YSANNE (Semi Delicious) and Rare Happiness, both delivering perfect dance floor destroyers, already tested in clubs around Europe.

Next, we have analogue enthusiast Perseus Traxx, with a relentless live jam packed of squelch and, on the flip side, Uncanny Valley’s Herzel who teams up here with North Macedonia's own L.O.V.D and together offer us a slow and chuggy Electro cut.

The compilation closes with Barcelona’s mysterious multitalented artist Sal Abi and his “Mariani”, a unique Machine made beat full of soul and magic. Following is the fast paced groove of “expandy” by acid maestro FLX and finally the record’s last track is the blissful and timeless “Parking” by Global Aphasia.

PREMIERE: YSANNE - There's Always Something

A trippy and shadowy journey through leftfield techno and off-centre club territories. Pletnev crafts hypnotic, off-grid rhythms and analog textures soaked in psychedelic tension. Twisted grooves and eerie atmospheres collide in a sound that’s danceable, distinctive, and built for adventurous late-night floors.

The World of Ragus – Field of Nova

“Field of Nova” is a seven-minute journey through sound, light, and motion.
Built from evolving synth layers, deep basslines, and organic transitions, the track captures the quiet energy of a night sky alive with stars.

It’s not about volume or speed — it’s about space, emotion, and connection.
Each element drifts, expands, and fades like light across the horizon, merging classic trance storytelling with modern cinematic depth.

Thank you for listening and for being part of this world.
This is where sound becomes a place.
