RDV is back with a bouquet that exudes festiveness for your jocular activities. For RDV003, Rhome has queried two stand-out artists (David Mayer and Joseph Ashworth) by offering them to re-interpret his own ''Asylum Twist'' song. In the quest of offering a new angle, the RDV002 artwork, by Peter Favinger, was rendered using a different viewpoint.

Are finely crafted percussions and hypnotic melodies your thing? Then David Mayer has set a table that oozes bon gout for you. The cutlery is silver, the chandelier is ostentatious and the table gilded.
If ''spaced-out-rock-n-roll'' are spices that you want in an electronic music song, then look no further than Joseph Ashworth's stellar contribution to the label. The Tour de force that is the addition of a piano is vastly superior to Lance Armstrong's performances.

Collé - Jessica's Dream feat Jessica Zese

Presenting you The Clock is ticking out at Flying Circus 
two deep and ethereal tracks.

Supported by Ame, Acid Pauli, Nick Warren , Blondish, Klm, Eelke Kleijn, Yokoo & many more...

 ‘The Clock Is Ticking’, as a wistful vocal dominates, shuffling percussion and as assured pace and mood is perfectly set by Maga here. On ‘Traverse’, a chugging house breakbeat sets the tone for a cosmically charged and transcendental workout, with dramatic synth stabs and gentle keys bringing this delicate flower to life.

Audiense - On the Shore (Fuentes Remix)

Already a household name in Berlin, with gigs at Watergate, Sisyphos and more under her belt, Stil Vor Talent regular Deer Jade returns to production with new vigour on an exciting collaboration with Dominican producer Vander. His sound is distinctive yet diverse, dancing between Afro-Latin influences, synthwave and the darker side of disco which we can hear on releases via Pipe & Pochet, Discos Tabu and Klassified.

‘Intergalactic Tango’ instantly teleports you to a dreamy destination with use of Mâhfoud’s exotic synth work and Moroccan sounding organ chords. Jade’s sensual vocals encourage you to keep exploring the sonic landscape of this daytime lounge record. Perfect for the warmer days and nights ahead. 

The package comes with two fantastic remixes, the first from Parisian duo Chambord, who take a bit more of a deeper approach to the track and creates an ethereal atmosphere. The gentle arp keeps the rhythm moving and pairs perfectly with the stripped back percussion. 

The second from Pandhora who takes the original on a more dance floor focused approach. There is a distinct contrast between the deep / groovy bassline and the smoother, almost jazzy chord progression. Replacing the organ chords with funk guitar strums adds a subtle French flare to their edit. 

The trio unleash a heavenly sound together. A unique release with deep squelchy bass combined with a striped back groove for a Latin-infused masterclass.

Emerging Netherlands-based pairing Parallells will land on Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels imprint for the first time next month. Gifting us an emotive offering in Ashes of Snow (The Rebirth Of The Phoenix), it acts as a tribute to their favourite Portuguese beach club, Yamba, which was tragically destroyed by a fire last year.

The brother’s spoke on what inspired them: “In May 2021 a devastating fire destroyed Yamba, one of our favourite beach clubs in Caparica (Lisbon), where we often performed. Yamba’s journey through the flames has become an inspiration to us and so we decided to compose Ashes of Snow. It represents the story of the phoenix as it finally rises from its ashes and morphs into a new form, with renewed wings taking flight towards a new adventure. On The Banks of The River is a continuation of Ashes of Snow, where love flows from Lisbon’s river to the Atlantic Ocean for a night full of emotions in Caparica.”

The title track hits a wonderful sweet spot between electronic elements and organic instrumentals. It feels raw and authentic, blending saxophone segments, electric guitar tones and a jazzy-like backbone to form a cut that feels ripe for both sunrise or sunset. On The Banks of The River comes next, manifesting as a more toughened dance music number thanks to deep bass components whilst still retaining the boys’ natural sound. Rounding off proceedings is Clive Henry, who’s remix of Ashes of Snow flies the flag for contemporary minimal. Weighty kicks reside next to delicate hats before ethereal synths are brought in, creating a romanian-inspired piece that you can’t help but dance to.

Parallells are two Amsterdam-based brothers hailing from the south of France. Multi-instrumentalists, composers, producers and label owners (Klassified), their music cuts across electronica, electro-jazz and underground dance music. Their live, hybrid and DJ sets have graced some of the world’s most esteemed stages, including DGTL, Robot Heart, Mayan Warrior, The Gardens of Babylon, Wonderfruit and many more besides. Their music is also heavily influenced by world culture, a feat that led them to launch their video series concept A Day In. Through this, they immerse in diverse cultures around the world, capturing sounds from their day-to-day life and unfold the story through the medium of music. Clive Henry is a linchpin of house music as we know it today. Cutting his teeth as one half of the tribal house duo Peace Division, he has held a long-term residency at Circoloco, Ibiza and has racked up bookings at standout venues and festivals including Printworks and Houghton to name a few.

HMWL Premiere: Parallelle - On The Banks Of The River (Original Mix)

After ELIF’S her debut on Anjunadeep in 2019, the Istanbul producers melodic, emotive and versatile music has since been found on Stil Vor Talent, A Tribe Called Kotori and now soon to be The Gardens of Babylon.

She collaborates with Nhii, who defines his sound as borderless, powerful electronic music. Based in New York, it can be an overwhelming sound pot of influences, yet you can experience an enormous variety of cultures. This is what he takes and drives into his productions. Whilst being A&R for Sounds Of Khemit, releases have graced Kindisch and Pipe & Pochet.

Title track ‘Hawa’ begins with beautifully crafted percussion elements that really encapsulate summer. Subtle bass and edgy synths really bring the track to life. ‘Hawa’ is such a captivating journey. B-side ‘Coup De Foudre’ comes straight in with some deep bodied kicks, elegant synths and perfectly placed percussion. Subtle arpeggio’s bring this beauty alive before breaking down in to peace and tranquillity. A slick production that effortlessly takes your breath away.

Washington DC based curator of dark and infectious groove Enamour is on remix duties. He rounds off this stunning release with deep bodied kicks, crisp percussion and some elusive eerie sounds. It’s rasping synths feature until the end, turning sunsets into sunrises.

Blue Season ✞ New Album ✞ June 14

✞ Track 4. The way it goes

The way it goes is me accepting that everything can't be perfect. But you can make the best of what you have. That's what this album is. Extended Stay was a very dramatic, and depressive album with a negative view of reality. Blue season is a transformation. A mental one. A reflective piece.

Upercent is without doubt one of the most prolific Sincopat artists nowadays. He is back home with three unpredictable electronic pieces where nothing is what it seems to be but everything is holding together.

The latest release by the Mexican avant-garde label Akumandra is founder Sainte Vie’s three track auditive voyage: From Desolate Places and Forgotten Times. Going beyond previous experimentation with sound assemblage and sampling from non-western musical traditions, Sainte Vie crafts his signature mesmerizing soundscapes by combining dreamlike synth textures, monumental drops and vibrant melodies that feel deeply melancholic. Insistent arpeggios and expansive build ups bind the tracks together in an ebb and flow of dynamic energy.

High Seas 
Overlaid synth patterns, like waves, propel us into a mixed-percussion drop that settles on a harmonic calm before another surge of synth arpeggios drive us farther along into the thrilling sensation of voyage.

Whale
Disembodied vocals, like cetaceans communicating, echo each other, creating a ghostly undercurrent to the vigorous percussion and futuristic synth arpeggios.

Darko
Backed by an eerie melody and punctuated by a lead-heavy bass drum, a deep, guttural voice plunges us into the dark flow of time.

Spectral in theme and profoundly engaged with the sensorial quality of music, Sainte Vie’s EP transports the listener to a place that feels distant like uncharted waters, yet familiar like a memory.

'Hommage proudly welcomes the return of Valiete to our label with his debut EP. The Frankfurt-based producer impressed us with his remix of ‘Walls’ by label bosses Monkey Safari, which dropped earlier this year, and here he is with the Blackout EP. Valiete runs his own Empore label with friends Marc Wolf and Philipp Harms, launching the platform in 2014. Four years after the label launched, he released his first single ‘Saga’ and introduced the world to his energetic, emotive sound. On his debut, he showcases his unique talent with two original cuts, plus a sparkling remix from Re.You...

The EP begins with ‘Blackout’. As the title suggests this cut has an ominous atmosphere which Valiete builds carefully, with layers of percussion and moody synths. Creeping out from the shadows is a hypnotic melody which counteracts the dark mood, adding a sense of urgency. After a searing breakdown we enter the second part of this cut which distills the core elements down into a more minimal structure.

Next up is ‘Whitechapel’, a spellbinding track that combines soft, affecting timbres with Valiete’s penchant for exquisite percussive arrangement. The first half of this cut is sparse, with floaty atmospherics and the gentle thump of its bassline. Valiete guides us into a hushed breakdown full of anticipation, leading us into the second part of the track where things get a little bit strange...

Wrapping things up, Re.You turns in a delightful remix of ‘Whitechapel’. The cut utilises his trademark drums, respectfully taking key elements of the original and adding some of his own flavour. A steady build up ushers us into a mesmerising interlude and the track’s equally enchanting second half.'
