The year is 2k21 and we're looking back at the strangest, most disconcerting and disheartening year in the history of electronic dance music, maybe even the history of the entire music industry ever. With no shows, no open dancefloors, no festivals, no clubs and no gatherings the past 12 months took a draining and constraining toll on everyone on the scene and the Hive Audio label crew certainly is no exception, but...

...we survived, we are still here, we re-adjusted, re-evaluated and we are ready to cope with the recent status quo as long as it's needed, with a strong release schedule and big plans in place for 2k21. Yet despite all the madness we, you and all of us dealt with we also happened to release a bunch of tunes throughout the last year, tunes that probably didn't make it to (m)any dancefloors given the circumstances but still are as strong, powerful and most of all uplifting as they used to be when they were released.

So here they are again – or at least a few of them which are what we consider to be the „Best Of 2020“, the tunes that defined the sound of  Hive Audio throughout the year that has passed, the cuts that made us smile, move and shake our bodies in isolation and we hope that they gonna make you shake yours as well - no matter if your in for uplifting House, groove-focused, melodic TechHouse or deep late night (Neo)Trance.

Enjoy the ride!

Sascha Dive delivers his latest album ‘Back 2 Life’ this December, marking Bondage Music’s 15th anniversary.

Frankfurt-based talent Sascha Dive has a long and esteemed history within house music, releasing material via 8Bit, Raum-Musik and Kwench alongside his own Deep Vibes Recordings, while featuring in Cocoon Recordings, long-standing, ‘In The Mix’ series and gaining support from label boss Sven Väth alongside the likes of Guy Gerber, Maya Jane Coles and Laurent Garnier. He now returns to Bondage Music to mark the imprints’ 15th anniversary with fifteen essential house cuts across his ‘Back 2 Life’ LP - delivering the label’s second ever album in the process.

“These tracks mirror what I have experienced in the last 15 years. Each one has its own story – of pain, emotion, learning, curiosity – the need to find and create new sounds, new beats and this is what continues to drive me to look further, further and further…." - Sascha Dive

“2006-2021: 15 years of Bondage Music is about harnessing those great moments and spiritual experiences from the Dancefloor. The vision of Bondage Music is to bring authentic, quality and honest dance music to those in the know. Music which makes you move touches the heart and brings you to a deeper place in your soul.” - Sven C. & Sven G., Bondage-Music

Dive opens up with the luxurious ‘Whispering Voices’ and ‘This Is My Journey’, two tracks fueled by twinged vocals, glimmering motifs, and dubby chords. The temperature rises on ‘My Life’, before the acidic ripples and spoken words of Messy MC on ‘In The Darkness’ unveils a subliminal slice of electronica.

‘Time Waits For No Man’ sees a standout collaboration alongside the iconic Robert Owens, while resonant kicks and evolving melodies can be found on ‘A Silver Lining on The Horizon’.
The second half unveils further entrancing productions such as ‘Interview With An Alien’, as progressing effects wrap around minimalist-style programming, while ‘Moonwalker’ and ‘Let’s Get It On’ lean towards deep house territories, alongside the up-beat and sun-drenched reverberations of ‘Dreaming Es Verda’ and ‘Tell Me When’.

A vibrant, dynamic and imbued collection of tracks, ‘Back 2 Life’ delivers a far-reaching album showcasing an essential milestone for both Dive and Bondage-Music while celebrating a long-standing partnership in style.

Back 2 Life

Premiere: Sascha Dive - My Life [Bondage Music]

Out now on Rebellion: lnk.to/RBL085

Italian native Cristina Lazic returns to Rebellion following her recent release on the Souls Vol.2 VA last year. And now the rising star delivers an accomplished three-track EP for the Crosstown Rebels sub-label.

Talking about the release, Cristina explains: “Burning is an EP that will accompany people in a variety of situations - from introspective journeys in moments of reflection, to social gatherings with friends and all the way to the dance floor. It consists of three tracks that contain a mix of minimal sounds with groovy bass, with female / male catchy vocals and unique elements full of surprises.” Delving further into the creation of the EP she reveals: “In Mirror I was inspired to include a guitar tone after listening to the great track “Taff” by Leonidas and Traumer; Jazzy Feeling is the result of an effort to combine minimal with funk and jazz music. Finally, with the lead track Burning I wanted to obtain a happy dance floor sound to make people dance, including unexpected elements, like seventh chords.”

In the title track Burning, a playful bassline drives the track as floaty vocals ride throughout the dreamy layers of chords and percussion. Jazzy Feeling is deep and powerful with a solid bassline, infectious vocals and an inspiriting atmosphere. Last up, Mirror rounds off the EP, once again demonstrating Cristina’s adept skill for creating hypnotic layers, sensual tones and rolling dancefloor music that can also be enjoyed anywhere at any time.

Born in Milan and raised in London, Cristina Lazic started playing the piano when she was six and grew up composing music. Emerging into the spotlight only four years ago, Cristina has performed at iconic clubs and festivals around the world. She also caught the attention of Pioneer DJ Italy, who chose her as an ambassador and example for aspiring female DJs. Her releases can be found on Bondage Music, Creature Records and Rebellion. Part of shesaid.so, the world leading community of women in the music industry, she leads the parenthood committee’s efforts to safeguard the interest of artists with kids.

'Dust Yard return to Bondage a fine 3 track EP, plus a hot remix from the legendary Sascha Dive. Kicking off with Astral', this deep flowing gem is a tasty swaggering workout, with slightly dubby edges and subtle melodics, this moody little number fuses dark with light, while retaining the groove throughout. Sascha Dive steps up on remix duties and strips things back. Pushing the drums loud and bringing the musicality down, gives this a stompy heads down vibe, before adding squelchy musicality and bringing the pads to shine through beautifully. The next original track from Dust Yard is 'Supernova'. Another deep yet warm slab of goodness, while keeping things deep but letting it really kick! Good vibes galore! 'Zodiac' rounds things off, and we go classic house edged, with its shoulder-swaying bumpinesss, and head nodding percussion. Its groovy baby.'
