Release: 28th March 2025

Serving as a launchpad for exceptional emerging talent, EXHALE brings together rising artists with heavyweight international names, each bringing their uniqueness whilst collectively sharing a vision of boundary-pushing, future-facing electronic music. Now on its sixth iteration EXHALE’s landmark compilation series is a beautifully executed case in point for everything the imprint stands for.

Featuring fifteen tracks, VA006 is a blistering tour de force of razor-sharp talent and cutting-edge techno. Argentine producer SAILØ’s ‘Nobody’ kicks us oﬀ in fine style with icy vox over typically pummeling rhythms, followed by French artist and Reborn Events co-founder Uphoria who takes us to rave euphoria with the aptly titled ‘Rave Dance Drink’. Fresh talent is delivered in spades from 19 year old Dutch hard techno producer STORM, who serves up thunderous bass, haunting
synths and electrifying drops on ‘Hypnotise’, followed by Polish-born DJ and producer Noemi Black, whose track ‘Lost In Sound’ combines transcendent rave energy with obliterating bass. One of the most popular newcomers in recent years, and for good reason, German producer AKKI gives us behemoth peak-time techno shot through with chill-inducing choirs and a stirring string section on ‘Lost In Time’.

Rotterdam’s IOSIO steps up for track six with his uniquely bouncy sound: full of groove and pump, ‘Echoes Of Heaven’ is a bouncy sonic delight. 2HOT2PLAY team up with Poland-based artist Linds for a meaty spot of trance-infused techno on the infectious ‘Type Of Beat’, followed by emerging Italian producer Flour, whose signature brand of trancey hard techno goes full throttle on ‘Galattica’. It’s merciless beats, ravey acid and clear instruction to ‘dance all night’ on Brazilian artist Molothav’s lethal ‘Acid All Night Long’, followed by Até & Salin’s irresistibly energetic call to arms ‘Mess’, where cheeky vox and metallic synth stabs pounce over driving rhythms. 

Heading up the final third is Neapolitan producer Lowerzone with ‘I’ll Take You Higher’, with driving rave stabs from the oﬀ, transporting listeners to the heart of the rave. Two UK artists are next up – coming in strong with his own signature brand of hi-octane beats against a deliciously stark soundscape is returning Liverpool artist Alex Farell with ‘Move Your Body’, while Scotland’s GALLØ brings balance to proceedings with the atmospheric cut ‘Mantra’. Oiz Records label boss Onelas makes his debut with the pulsating ‘Summer Walker’, and closing out VA006 is multi-hyphenate duo Amstra & Sosya with the transcendent peak time chugger ‘Take Me Down’.
