A Deeper Life…

After over a decade of making music, we’re finally releasing our debut album A Deeper Life on May 9th 2025, on our very own imprint In Dust We Trust.

What started as an idea in 2020, during a period of stagnation for us and so many others, grew into something that felt within reach. Demos were refined, and Beans was producing more music than ever. Then, as our intense touring schedule resumed, we never anticipated we’d find the time to complete the project.

This album has been a labor of love—it’s more than just an album for us. It’s a love letter to our home country New Zealand; to our bond as brothers, to our family and friends that have supported us since the start; and to the laid-back way of life that shaped who we are today. But it’s also a journey through the global sounds that we’ve fallen in love with over the years.

Today we’re dropping the first single from the album, Love Language, featuring our fellow Kiwi and regular collaborator, the legendary Nathan Haines, on saxophone. We poured so much of ourselves into this track, and we hope you can feel that when you hear it.

This is an immensely proud moment for Beans and I. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined that when we relocated to London from Auckland in 2012, not only would we one day release an album, but that it would turn into a full-time career, giving us the chance to travel the world and meet incredible people along the way. We owe so much of this success to those who have continued to support us, and we hope this musical offering excites you as much as it does us.

Peace and love,
Louis and Beans

Love Language

This latest Unxpozd release has taken a hot minute to arrive but it's been worth the wait, because once again DJ Aakmael shows off his deep house class. '6minutes' kicks off with the sort of whimsical late-night chords that soon get you dreaming as the loveably lazy grooves slouch on. 'Just A Track pt. 8' shows Aakmael's sample skills as he chops up the sounds with some nice jazzy keys. You won't find a groove more lush and smooth than the gently cosmic 'Track 123' while 'Autumn' is perfectly stripped back to chunky kicks, slowly ascending chords and a hint of Kerri Chandler soul with a gospel vocal hook.

We are pleased to present to you the third single from our forthcoming album 𝓐 𝓓𝓮𝓮𝓹𝓮𝓻 𝓛𝓲𝓯𝓮

𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓵𝓫𝓸𝓻𝓸 𝓢𝓸𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓼 is a nod to the Balearic life and Beans’ love for cigs. An aquatic, uplifting cut for the upcoming warmer months.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting the album so far! Beans and I appreciate all the luv and can’t wait for you to hear the rest of the project!

PREMIERE: Theory Of Movement (aka Dan Piu & Grant) - Now and Then (Dream Mix)

Deep house don DJ Aakmael kicks on with the release of some previously never before on vinyl remixes. He is a man who knows how to cook up warm yet dynamic sounds that are perfect for back rooms and basements when you want to get up close and personal. 'Window Seat' finds him tackling smoky soul sounds and flipping them into spaced-out deep house magic. 'I Know U Care' is then a more upbeat jam with organic percussion and swinging drums topped with another gorgeous r&b vocal. Two cosy party starters from this ever-on-form American.

'Maintaining My Peace' is a collaboration with UK rapper/producer Novelist and US soulful house legend Stephanie Cooke—two artists we’ve long admired. Novelist was first introduced to our music through his mum, and after we reached out, he sent us a voice note from LA saying he was keen to link up as soon as he got back to London. You’ll hear that exact message at the very start of the track—a nod to the moment this journey began.
Not long after, Nov came by our studio and spent hours with Beans, deep in conversation about production techniques, life, and everything in between. That genuine exchange of energy and ideas directly influenced and shaped the lyrics Nov wrote that day—raw, reflective and grounded.
The track’s production pays homage to classic West Coast rap—we wanted that raw, laid-back, soulful feel. Once again, we brought in the talents of Immanuel Simelane on bass and Alex Cosmo Blake on guitar to help us capture that authentic G-funk texture. From the jump, it was clear the instrumental needed a voice like Nov’s and he floated over it effortlessly.
There was something missing however—we needed a hook and we knew exactly who we had in mind. After a long search, we finally managed to get in touch with one of our all-time favourite soulful house vocalists, Stephanie Cooke. To our surprise and excitement, she was totally down to be part of it. Her vocals brought exactly the warmth and emotion the track needed—she was the cherry on top.
The result is Maintaining My Peace, a smooth, heads down, introspective track that blends soul, self-reflection and that unmistakable West Coast influence.

Sounds of Lava Lava 13
Jakob Mäder
Sparkling
Release Date: 23/05/2025

Lava Lava proudly welcomes Jakob Mäder to the family with an irresistible 2-track debut.

Over the past few years Jakob has become an influential figure in the Stuttgart scene, running events with his Midnight Service crew and playing alongside acts like Johannes Albert, Marie Lung and Panthera Krause. When he’s not been playing live he’s been notching up acclaimed releases on Frank Music, Zissou, Skylax and Berlin Bass Collective as well as his own Constant Change imprint.

Title-track ‘Sparkling’ kicks off the EP with crunchy percussion and rounded bass notes. Classic piano lines interplay with spiralling synths and acid hooks while echoing snare hits drive you through this peak-time track.

'Enjoy The Light’ blends modern Deep House sounds with club-focussed 90’s nostalgia. Low slung drums and shuffling percussion bounce alongside bright keys and breathy angelic vocals while spaced out synth licks unfold across the track giving an added sense of depth and warmth.

Peletronic comes back on Fortunea Records with another great 4-tracker!
After his successful Hazy Jane EP and the broken beat contribution ‚Goldfinch’ on the latest 10 year anniversary compilation, he delivers us four brand-new contemporary and intensive cuts on here.

Restless, the title-track of this record, is a sub driven deep house work out with boasting swelling loops and an irresistible vocal sample. Afterwards dreamy acid lines and energetic drum patterns prepare you for several ‚Timeless Travels’.

‚Malibu Orange’ on the B-side captures the elusive late-hours in the morning. And the record ends with the minimal flamboyant beats of ‚1160 Dub'. A lovely homage to his favorite district in the Austrian capitol.

The Restless EP will come out on the 23rd of may. This record is limited to 200 copies. There will be no repress!
