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.

Bouzidi - Someone Messed With My Parameters [RITMO FUTURO]

Amancay returns this year with the second edition of its Laberintos compilation - bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever.
This time, all 14 members of the collective join forces in unexpected pairings, mixing familiar chemistry with fresh collaborations. The result? Seven tracks that don’t just whisper, but scream business-club-ready, emotionally charged, and unmistakably Amancay.

Laberintos II

Agustin Giri, Last Men On Earth - DA-DA-DA

https://essential-part.com/ Rooted in instinct and clarity, Bingami reflects Yamil’s current creative state: raw, effortless, and focused. Having risen to prominence in the global electronic music scenes as a visionary artist, he now lands on Essential Part with a groove that remains both hard-lined and true to its core.

The title track emerged in a moment of lightness. House chords and acid lines unfold without resistance, built in motion. Aereus raises the tempo with a sharper edge, crafted for that peak-hour tension when the floor gives in. Closing the EP, Endlight shifts inward, a nostalgic journey guided by wide pads and an understated emotional pull. A distant glow. The light at the end of the tunnel.

Celebrating their 100th release, John Johnson's ICONYC imprint calls upon one of electronic music's brightest talents to reflect on the label's story thus far. Hailing from Cordoba, Ezequiel Arias has grown into one of Argentina’s most prodigious progressive house producers. Upon making his debut in 2013, Ezequiel became a favourite of both Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. A 2017 appearance on Guy Mantzur’s Plattenbank Records proved to be a pivotal point in the Argentine’s career, eventually leading to his first remix for ICONYC later that summer. Now regarded as one of 2017’s best tracks, Ezequiel’s interpretation of ‘Tell Me’ by Galestian & Mira J enjoyed an unprecedented six month long stay in Beatport’s Progressive House tracks chart, while earning consistent play from Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J, Guy Mantzur, Khen and many other A-list DJs. After rounding out 2017 with a release on Cid Inc’s Replug Records, Ezequiel took another leap forward with his debut EP for Sudbeat Music in 2018, further solidifying his place amongst the progressive house elite. Now embarking on the biggest project of his young career, ICONYC hands over its label catalog for Ezequiel to craft two 90 minute mixes, highlighting a medley of the imprints finest moments.  
 
 For a label that has amassed such an impressive discography the Argentinean DJ was spoilt for choice. Over a two year period ICONYC has curated a catalog that is fresh and comprehensive in equal measure, a sonic platform where new talent is nourished to grow and scene veterans shine. Beginning the journey in methodical fashion with two electronica cuts from the hugely up and coming Dutch duo Huminal, Ezequiel then goes on to program a sound story to get truly lost in. Highlighted by cuts from Alex O’Rion, Cid Inc., BP, Framework, Kamilo Sanclemente, Danny Lloyd, Praveen Achary, Li-Polymer, Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, Dmitry Molosh, Andre Sobota, Filter Bear and Ezequiel himself, it amounts to three hours of the finest, most cutting edge melodic house the underground has to offer. Two stunning mixes from one of the scenes brightest and most hyped young talents. For as memorable as the first one hundred releases have been for ICONYC, the future holds even more promise, as the label further diversifies its sonic palette, launching a new chapter in their history with the birth of the ‘Noir’ division. Make sure you’re along for the ride. Words by Mitch Alexander for Release Promo.
