After the shimmering warmth of Melted By The Sun, Bouzidi returns to Ritmo Futuro with a bold and introspective new release: Please Don’t Cry EP.

Born in Tunisia and currently based in Greece, Bouzidi brings a deeply personal, cross-cultural identity to this four-track journey—where emotions, symbols, and sound design fuse in unexpected ways. The EP takes subtle cues from his two homelands: the crescent moon and star of the Tunisian flag meet the blue-and-white rhythm of the Greek stripes, creating a sonic flag of its own—flowing between melancholic reflection and radiant groove.

The title Please Don’t Cry is both a plea and a provocation—expressed through textured techno, playful minimalism, and raw emotion. Each track on the EP is a snapshot of feeling—funky, intelligent, and rooted in storytelling. While his genre-fluid approach reflects a shifting emotional state, Bouzidi’s signature remains clear: abstract yet infectious, meditative yet made for the floor. His music, deeply aware of the fragile relationship between humans and nature, often carries an urgent, almost spiritual resonance.

Have a listen! The EP will be out on 08.08.25 on Ritmo Futuro.

A journey through sound experimentation is what best describes Chicchic
Focfoc EP by the South Korean rising talent Onizmik. Accompanied by two
powerful and emotional remixes from Mauez  & Rick Offen, this is an
unorthodox EP and a real club space bomb.

Last but not least is the long-anticipated remix by Ritmo Futuro's head
honcho Rick Offen who returns to Urge To Dance in full force. Pulsating
basslines, meticulously layered drums and percussions set the foundation
for the explosive stabs and powerful synth lead to turn the remix into a
deep and emotional delivery.
