INCOMING : D Stone - Can You Stop This #SMiiLE

exclusive | Emi Ömar - Beat a Stick | Groove To Grave Records

Some summer cuts fade like cheap tan lines - but Emi Ömar doesn’t deal in disposable sunshine. Sitting mid-way through Summer Hits Vol. 1, the Paris-based Groove To Grave crew’s first digital VA, “Beat a Stick” hits that rare sweet spot where sticky funk, house heat, and playful hookiness all lock arms and swagger off together down the beach.

It’s the kind of track that doesn’t need permission to flirt. A bassline that bounces like it knows it’s being watched, drums that strut just enough to keep the floor honest - and then, front and center, those vocals: “Baby I like you a lot, you’re really hot!” Equal parts pickup line, dancefloor dare, and pure grin-wrapped summer mischief.

True to Emi Ömar’s groove-first philosophy, “Beat a Stick” doesn’t over-polish its edges. It stays raw enough to feel alive, tight enough to stay in motion - the kind of low-slung, sun-kissed roller you’ll want looping through poolside speakers long after the last bottle’s empty.

A sly highlight on an eight-track collection that knows exactly where you want to be when the heat peaks: somewhere between the beach, the booth, and the moment that bassline hits just right.

Mathias Kaden's ‘Freedom’ on Rekids receives the remix treatment 1st August 2025, with a new version from Kaden, as well as a dub mix from Radio Slave. Initially released as part of his 2024 ‘Circulate’ EP on the label, the release won support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, TSHA, and Dam Swindle.

Rooted in soul but geared for the dancefloor, Mathias Kaden’s uptempo rework of ‘Freedom’ toughens the original’s groove while allowing its jazz and dub-inflected stabs, strings, and keys to shine through, all while stripping back the track’s memorable spoken-word sample. Meanwhile, Radio Slave’s eleven-minute dub mix is a hypnotic, slow-burning and dreamlike track, built on spacious layering and a hauntingly re-emergent vocal. A full instrumental completes the package, with Kaden and Radio Slave joining previous ‘Freedom’ remixer William Kiss in oﬀering three distinctive takes on the track.

“Radio Slave asked me for the stems of „Freedom" and created a truly inspiring version of the track. Even when playing my original, I always had a diﬀerent version in mind—and with my uptempo remake, I was finally able to bring that vision to life.” Mathias Kaden

Active since the mid-90s, Mathias Kaden appeared on Radio Slave’s Rekids for the first time in 2019, adding to a versatile discography on labels like Cocoon and Vakant while also remixing work by DJ Koze, KiNK, Monika Kruse, Trentemöller.

For their second expedition outside of our solar system, La Wild Records summons the Da Graca Brothers — Argentinian by origin, yet long-established voyagers of the Amsterdam Constellation. Their latest sonic artifact, included in the Sun series of our label, is a masterful fusion of US garage music and cosmic jazz harmonics. Vocals drift like a lone comet, spiraling through the interstellar void. Rhythmic pulses chart a course down the solar expressway, driven by a force both celestial and radiant. But it is their command of stellar piano sequences and deep-space synthesizers that truly defines their signature craft.

Swiss maestro and Vibes and Grooves label head Shaka AKA aka Kurt Spichiger is a long-time soulful house devotee who has been at it since the mid-90s on labels like Nervous, Kolour LTD and Local Talk.

SHAKA - SMOOTH CUT [MISTER BEAR]

Bogdan Ra kicks off his new Love Affair label with four banging cuts that nod to the 90s and bring plenty of authentic acid madness. 'Kick It Off' begins with a heavyweight bump, trippy synth motifs and rigid rhythms that make you jerk your body in an 80s Chicago style. 'After Acid Hours' is another full body workout with wiggly 303s adding the energy and 'Ough Yeah' then gets snappy and sweaty with its fractured vocals and strobe-lit moods. 'Beat Body' shuts down with a more slamming technoid energy and rugged acid. Four stylish, fresh and destructive sounds.

PREMIERE: BOGDAN RA - KICK IT OFF

Unsounds presents Ragazzo Does It Again by High Trust Society // a project rooted in Caracas and built on the conviction that club culture can only grow through trust, authenticity, and collective energy.

Shaped by the darker edges of electro, techno, and house, the EP captures the spirit of an evening out: playful yet driving, chaotic yet precise. More than just tracks, it’s a statement of belonging // a piece of underground culture that feels at once timely and timeless.

PREMIERE : HTS - Ragazzo Does it Again

It was time to focus.

Walking through the night he watched as the cars whizzed on by, each presumably with a destination in the darkness up ahead.

He had to concentrate.

The sound of the engines struggled under the strain. The wheels turning frantically under pressure.

The end was nigh. For soon it would be daylight and all of the misgivings of the black haze would be forgotten.

Boss Priester features on a split EP from the ever impressive X-Kalay which continues to release some of the most innovatve, forward thinking club sounds. This time there are however, nods to the past. Wiggly tech house music at its best, a new lease of life for a sound ever loved.

PREMIERE: Boss Priester - Concentrate [X-Kalay]

> @alleriaplayground

Hours of voltage, patched and repatched. Machines breathing in loops, mistakes turning into patterns, noise becoming signal. This album is a record of time spent listening below the obvious.
It comes from years of pausing, returning, and collecting fragments that refused to be forgotten. Every sound here carries the weight of the moment it was found: unstable, imperfect, alive. It is not entertainment. It is contribution. An offering to the small circle of listeners who understand that culture lives in the details:

In a filter’s self-resonance.
In the soft decay of modulation
In the hiss that tells you the machine is still awake.
Noise Floor Ritual is the sum of these quiet devotions...

For those who still listen below the surface.

PREMIERE: Alleria - Adaptive Modulation

Super Tuﬀ 💪 is back on the scene with some drippy tech house deliciousness for you. Introducing… Warden 🚨

Two lovers of all things techy, minimal, and weird—Warden is a collaboration between M. Vaughan and Ireland’s Whoisben. Borne from weekly ritual sessions in Lisbon throughout 2025, Learning Curve is a grass-stained love letter to early 2000’s tech-house. For fans of Swayzak, Loidis, Central, and Herbert.

Prioritizing simplicity, these tracks were made from a heap of samples, a tangle of dropbox folders, and a stack of videos on FM synthesis. This is the sound of two friends nerding out.

"Moonlight" is a synth workout featuring Basic Channel-infused stabs, underpinned by deep tech. "Pensamentos" is a dubby chugger, filled with echo-drenched introspection. "You & I" recalls dreaming while the SSX Tricky 🏂 loading screen plays in the background, thick low-end muscle and cheeky vocals. "Liftoﬀ" sends you on a spacewalk, drifting weightless through syncopated downtempo.

Warden is here, Super Tuﬀ is back, and oh boy does it feel good. 💪
Ahhhhhhhh!
