UMEK - Gatex (Fergie Remix)

The three tracks for this EP are lovingly crafted using his collection of vintage drum machines, samplers and expansive modular setup, and are presented in both stereo and Dolby Atmos. Opener 'havin it' is quick-stepping, low slung house cut lit up with glistening chords and gorgeous soul samples that shine through next to low-key but euphoric 90s trance progressions. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside while remaining locked to the groove. 'lush' is just that, with summery harp strums shimmering across dusty and speedy deep house drums that sweep you up and fill your heart with hope and joy. It's a richly layered sound with a curiousness that truly enchants. Lastly, 'WNE' straightens your back with upright and snappy drums, woody percussion and frayed edged chords that have a cosy nostalgic glow. Coated in a lo-fi haze, plunging bass and aching vocal fragments pull you in different directions as you hurry to keep up with the frisky groove.

London-based artist Hilit Kolet returns to Rekids, collaborating with New York’s The Illustrous Blacks, the project formed by Manchildblack and Monstah Black, for the ‘Transatlantic Kiki’ EP, landing 29th August 2025 via Radio Slave’s Rekids. Legendary father-daughter duo Floorplan remix the single, with the release following up Kolet’s 2024 ‘Snap Talk’ EP, which won support from artists like Dam Swindle, Chloé Caillet, Bradley Zero, and more.

“This record is pure, bottled fun - a sassy shout-out to the twin cities that define club culture. The Illustrious Blacks' vocals were a producer's dream, so the edgier 'First Class Mix' just had to happen. To then receive a remix from Floorplan is a massive honour; their interpretation is a masterclass, and I'm thrilled to share it.”
– Hilit Kolet

“ 'Transatlantic Kiki' was written in celebration of the iconic nightlife of two of our favorite cities in the world, NYC and London. It also serves as a tribute to our instant musical connection to Hilit.”
– The Illustrious Blacks

With lyrics that connect London and New York, ‘Transatlantic Kiki’ is a tough, funk-fueled roller true to Hilit Kolet’s signature production style, infused with an unmatchable personality via The Illustrous Blacks’ playful, vogue-like vocals. It’s hypnotic, bold, and irresistible, with the pair supplying a loopy ‘First Class’ mix that introduces vocal elements not featured in the original, amplifying the track’s qualities to hit even harder, and works the dancefloor into a sweat.

Robert and Lyric Hood, known together as Floorplan, remix Hilit Kolet & The Illustrous Blacks’ ‘Transatlantic Kiki’. Equally infectious as the original, they transform its rhythm into a drummy late-night cut. Stabs and vocal chops ride the groove, culminating in a proper lose-yourself-in-the-dance House cut that also comes with an instrumental version.

London’s Hilit Kolet came up through the former Soho Black Market Records shop, and has since become synonymous with the city’s House scene via releases on Defected, Snatch!, Domino, and Rekids, with a #1 debut on Music Week’s Upfront Club Chart and support from BBC Radio 1, Jamie Jones, HAAi, Skream, and more. NYC duo The Illustrious Blacks, comprising Manchildblack and Monstah Black, blend Afro-Electro, Funk, Disco, and House across releases on Soul Clap, Classic Music Company, and Defected, as well as collaborations with artists such as Osunlade, DJ Minx, Seven Davis Jr., and David Morales.

PREMIERE: Sunset Phase - Exopilogue

Having lifted dancefloors all summer long, Cali Lanauze and Aquarius Heaven’s tripping club collaboration ‘Just Like Magic’ sails to fresh, otherworldly waters, courtesy of remixes from two of dance music’s best-loved and most creative producers, Luciano and Roman Flügel.

Luciano’s remix captures the prolific Swiss-Chilean DJ and producer at his minimalistic finest. Spinning out a simple percussive loop, Luciano takes Slacker85’s crew on a winding journey that places the dancehall-indebted vocals of Aquarius Heaven front and centre, blending his story with almighty swells of bass and an addictively ethereal atmosphere.

Presenting a more full-bodied take, Roman Flügel’s peerless genre-blending finds a sweet spot between the tropical hustle of the original, flirting cheekily with the rubbery bassweight of his own studio. Impactful enough for the biggest of rooms, yet as detailed and precise as Flügel’s finest work, the Frankfurt maestro performs his own sorcery within the Puerto Rico producer’s authentic incantations.

MCRV017 – Transient States. Feedback is an evocative four-track compilation that captures the deep essence of dub techno—equally suited for the dancefloor and for immersive, focused listening. Label veterans Eric Louis, Genning, Osman Oz, SUBMINIMAL (with a Tvardovsky remix), and Etzu Mahkayah all contribute. From the very first listen, the EP draws in discerning ears with its richness and detail.

Each track unfolds smoothly, evoking deep emotional textures and building a sensuous, introspective atmosphere. The release moves from subtle cues to vast sonic terrains, weaving through warm harmonics and resonant low-end thumps that captivate the body as much as the mind.

These tracks are ideal for transitional moments in a DJ set, yet stand strong on their own. Whether elevating the narrative arc, introducing mid-set tension, or closing a journey with emotional depth, each piece functions as a zealous tool for navigating sensation—crafted not just for movement, but for lasting memory.

Transient States exudes quiet power beneath a deliberate veil of restraint. Emotionally charged, sonically rich, and full of nuance, this release is a standout addition to any selector’s arsenal.

Limited edition.

VMTTM Podcast 002: Franck Roger (100% Unreleased, Own Productions)

Berlin-based producer Javier Anxiety presents 'Soup Dream', a soulful house track filled with warm grooves and uplifting energy - true to his emotional and melodic style. The release also features a remix by Franco-Peruvian artist Aria Santillana, who brings a deep, elegant reinterpretation with strong deep house influences - a refined and versatile version crafted for more introspective dancefloor moments.

This marks Aria Santillana's first-ever remix and official release under her own name - a big moment for both her and for us. We've been friends for a long time and have followed her journey closely as she's built her path and played at respected clubs like Heideglühen.

'Soup Dream' celebrates connection, growth, and the emotive power of house music - both on and off the dancefloor.

Montreal duo Flabbergast—aka Guillaume Coutu Dumont and Vincent Lemieux—return to Circus Company, the label where it all began with their debut EP in 2015. Now seasoned veterans of leftfield club experimentation, they deliver Weirdo Active, a two-track vinyl release that distills their signature blend of groove, absurdity, and refined weirdness.

On the A-side, “Timecrowave” is a swung, syncopated burner built around fragmented drum programming, warbled synth textures, and subtly detuned atmospheres. It's a tool that thrives in the in-between moments of a set—unpredictable yet fluid.

On the B-side “Serpentoute,” a slinky groove laced with dubwise processing and modular squelch, maintaining tension through micro-edits and playful FX. Perfect for after-hours transitions or more open-minded floors.

Digital-only tracks “Meat on Bone” and “Tiou de Checheu” push things further into abstract, bumpy terrain—ideal for DJs seeking left-of-center material with character. Following standout releases on Yoyaku, Copier/Coller, and Chapelle XVI, Flabbergast continue to offer up dance music that’s deeply heady, subtly unhinged, and always full of intent.

Following standout releases on Yoyaku, Copier/Coller, and Chapelle XVI, Flabbergast continue to offer up dance music that’s deeply heady, subtly unhinged, and always full of intent. A finely sculpted dose of dancefloor surrealism—just the way Flabbergast likes it.

Duro Label prepares to ignite the late-year circuit with a high-voltage collaboration between two Madrid-based masters: Chilean DJ and producer Fernanda Arrau and Polish house veteran Ketiov. Their "Mexico Tour" EP, landing December 5, 2025, is a masterful exchange of global house rhythms, completed by a powerful remix from Duro co-head, Theus Mago. 

Fernanda Arrau, a driving force in the South American electronic scene, anchors her sound in the infectious energy of 80s and 90s synthesizers and dynamic Latin rhythms. Ketiov, the deeply personal project of Voitek Taranczuk (half of Catz ’n Dogz), indulges his boundary-breaking instincts, crossing genres with innovative rhythmic play and a deep history in house, disco, and techno. Their combined vision results in an EP that is both a nostalgic nod and a decisive step forward. 

The journey begins with the "México Tour (Original Mix)", a cut purpose-built to scorch the dancefloor. It’s an energizing track powered by an electrifying bassline, distorted vocals, and a solid drum foundation accompanied by relentless, frenzied cowbells.  

The EP then takes a twisted detour via a remix from Duro’s co-head, Theus Mago. Known for his acid-laced house bombs and ability to "weird out" the dancefloor, the "México Tour (Theus Mago Remix)" features a playful bassline and percussions, complemented by melted melodies and a characteristic acid touch. It’s a signature Theus Mago transformation: subtly glitched beats blending into rave-damaged heart. 

Finally, Ketiov offers his own interpretation with the "Mexico Tour (Ketiov Remix)", steering the energy toward classic house sensibilities. This is a secret bomb for the after-hours, built on a solid drum framework, seductive pianos, driving percussions, and a resonant, pushy bassline that propels the groove relentlessly forward.

Sometimes all you crave is some pumping house music, and burgeoning Glaswegian producer James Vox delivers exactly that, with style and intent. Inspired by the mid-’00s sound of labels like Soma Records, it was only a matter of time before his demos found their way to Silicone Soul’s grateful ears and onto Darkroom Dubs.

But these traxx are no simple homage. On Pressure, ’70s Kingston meets with Slam’s legendary club night uptown for a late-night jam, packed with Trojan-era toasting and a massive Reese-style bassline, built for darkrooms and peak moments. Second track, Clouds, motions into deeper territory, but there’s no let-up in pace or vibe. With a killer breakdown, it delivers undistilled, pure house joy. Then, closing the EP, Let It Go lands sweetly between the twin pillars of house and techno, blending Detroit-tinged electronics with the unmistakable energy of a Love Sensation-age Loleatta Holloway.

Unbridled, club-primed, and ready to ride into the festive season, James Vox’s productions have already caught the attention of Karotte, Radio Slave, and Harvey McKay. As a debut, it’s an impressive statement, channelling the Darkroom Dubs spirit with precision.

'When it drops, oh, you gonna feel it… a pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah, pressure drop, a drop on you…’

Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
