https://soundcloud.com/eluize: This mix is an invitation to let me lead you through my world of beauty in electronic sound. Things I love to play or hear at sunrise, as the moon shows her face, on a train, watching rain on a window, having those early moments with friends warming up for a night ahead, bleary-eyed swaying with new connections on the dance floor as the day starts to crack through the windows of the club, on a long drive home, or as a backdrop to cherished, deep and sometimes nonsensical chats somewhere around a kitchen table or sunk deep in a lounge relishing in the night that was. A lot of these have been closing tracks, or openers, hidden on a B2 or snuck into a compilation, so to put them all together as a special tribute to the sparkly, deep, sometimes acidic, sometimes soaring things that make my heart swell and I can’t help but move my body to. It’s sentimental, joyful, introspective and hopeful, I hope you find something you that speaks to you here. All my love, Eluize xo.

Eluize approaches her DJ sets and productions, creating and playing music that evokes spectrums of emotion, resonating viscerally through the meticulous interplay of elements.

Whether through delicate, reflective production on her latest LP “Believe”, disco drenched elation on “Curious Bliss”, gritty EBM on “Lucidity” or the orchestration of decadent escapes on dance floors when DJing, the Australian’s artistry speaks to the senses.

Eluize drenches brisk house with a prog touch in acid. In her sets, selections entwine and move together, rather than succumbing to excess, the rave locks into flow. Listeners will find themselves drawn inwards time and again, guided by ethereal breaks, often lead by Eluize’s vocals, the breathing space she creates for dancers, and the energy of the tracks themselves.

Whether in the cavernous depths of fog filled clubs or dusty plains of heat hazed festivals: Eluize grounds her music in something psychedelic and hypnotic, a place of security where lively, bubbling melodies have room to unfold. She shapes a comforting sanctuary, whether you feel completely alone or enveloped in the energy of the crowd. Rave, that is.

Jason Peters, the visionary behind Roam Recordings, returns with his latest EP, 'It's Ok to Be Sad.' This release is a dynamic journey through emotional soundscapes, blending high-energy beats with introspective undertones.

Opening the EP, 'Satellites' is an homage to Jason's formative years in the underground rave scene of the 90s. The track captures the raw, pulsating energy of warehouse parties with its heavy hitting drums underpinning wild electronic noises.

The title track takes a reflective turn with its distinctive goth disco vibe. Echoing the moodiness of the cover art-clouds tinged with subtle brightness-this piece intertwines elements of joy and sorrow, creating a captivating emotional contrast.

Adding a fresh dimension, Moderna returns to Roam Recordings to lend her unique touch. Her remix infuses the original with haunting vocals, 80s-inspired snares, and atmospheric reverb, amplifying the track's melancholic essence.

The annual Bonkers Music compilation returns, delivering another round of high-energy bangers. This year, the release explores a slightly evolved musical style while staying true to its signature sound. Celebrating its sixth edition, “Year VI” will be available on 12” vinyl, accompanied by a few exciting surprises.

A1. Neskeh’s “106 Cabrel” revolves around a melodic yet hypnotically repetitive lead sequence, crafted to evoke a trance-like state on the dance floor and radiate positive energy. The foundation of big, punchy kicks and a robust bassline gives it a quintessential club vibe.

A percussive break in the middle shifts the mood entirely, paying homage to Goa rhythms and shamanic rituals, immersing listeners in a more primal atmosphere. The drop reignites the momentum, enhanced by the warm tones of the beloved Minilogue, adding an almost epic dimension to the journey.

A2. Berlin's Mike Sacchetti and Madrid's David Meyer unite on "Agria Pachanga," a dance energy piece that pulses with percussive drive and a subtle touch of Latin identity.

Acid-inspired arrangements swirl around classic drum machine sounds. The syncopated rhythms and pumping basslines push the track towards an agitated club atmosphere, building this song into a bold declaration of fiesta.

A3. Two friends from Guadalajara, Mexico, Leonor & Ludviq, now living in different European cities, (Barcelona & Lyon) join forces to bring you Capybara Trance, This electrifying track combines dark, driving energy with intricately sequenced melodies, a hard-hitting chugging bassline, and the unique touch of capybara-inspired sounds. Anchored by a commanding kick drum that sets an unrelenting tempo.

B1. “Nebula” is a deep, atmospheric journey through cosmic sounds and pulsating rhythms. The track blends hypnotic melodies with dark synthetic textures, evoking a sense of drifting through endless galaxies. With a strong groove and intricate arrangements, it delivers energy that fits perfectly in both morning sets and more conceptual playlists. The collaboration between Radial Gaze, Ducati Flux, and Persona RS captures the spirit of exploration, creating a versatile track that can be the highlight of any set

B2. Intruso hailing from Bogota, now based in Barcelona brings “Somos Acido” this track draws inspiration from the early 2000’s House and Trance, capturing the nostalgia and emotional resonance of his first experiences with electronic music as a child. A driving Acid bassline injects dynamic energy, making it perfectly suited for the dance floor.


B3. Argentinian born, Australia based producer Poulper teams up with Mexican maestro Hugo Vallejo to kick off this intergalactic adventure. This track weaves together acid-laced elements and an infectious rhythm, layered with haunting post-dark vocals that narrate the fiery, cosmic tale of love burning in the vast expanse of space. A bold and immersive journey into the unknown, perfect for this stellar compilation.

https://soundcloud.com/rugstusslenis: This mix is a personal journey, a reflection of my current emotional and alchemical state, especially through the weight of some challenging times. It starts deep, with tribal vibes that feel like a quiet ritual, grounding you in the moment. The rhythms build slowly, weaving through hypnotic layers into psychedelic pulses and trance grooves that pull you forward, like a heartbeat picking up pace. I crafted this to feel raw and human, letting the music trace the edges of my headspace—introspective, sometimes heavy, but always moving toward something alive. It’s not just a set; it’s me working through the chaos, finding flow, and inviting you to move with me.

Rūgštus Slėnis is a dive into the wild, layered world of sound—think tribal rhythms stitched together with an acid edge, pulsing like a living thing. My mixes shift between light and shadow, dreamy drifts and trippy highs, always eclectic, always moving. From his early days, he has been chasing a sound that’s carved deep into his psyche, blending the raw energy of nature with the flow of my inner alchemy. A story told through sound — raw, real, and an open invitation to feel the rhythm.
