PREMIERE: Don:Benito - Slow Ritual Entrance [Underwater Audio Dynamics]

https://soundcloud.com/jogaiila: This mix for Whypeopledance is more than a selection — it’s a slow-burning story. I began from a place of introspection: deep, hypnotic textures that evoke the sensation of thoughts forming in the dark. As the mix unfolds, it drifts toward movement, where rhythm sharpens, and the body starts to listen.

I wanted to explore how technical precision can be a canvas for emotion, how styles can dissolve into one another without losing their weight. For me, it’s about holding focus — both mine and yours — and letting the mix carry us somewhere real.

Jogaila is a DJ who treats mixing like storytelling — patient, precise, and emotionally tuned. With roots deep in the underground, his sets move with intention: from hypnotic introspection to high-pressure groove. A craftsman of flow, he blends styles not to show range, but to guide attention — to create one focused, evolving state of mind.

Never chasing hype, Jogaila moves at his own pace. Years behind the decks have shaped a sound that’s thoughtful, physical, and quietly intense — a reflection of someone who listens as much as he plays.

"You Never Know" is Frank Wodorost's debut album, featuring 10 tracks exploring the tension between processed and raw emotions. Hope collides with fear, and the rush of life confronts nihilistic doubt. The sound blends romantic whispers, enigmatic intonations, processed guitars, melancholic synths, and desperate screams.

PREMIERE: Frank Wodorost - Detained [Self-Released]

🛒 https://wieeingott.bandcamp.com/

Sledgehammer, the new release by Berlin-based XTR HUMAN, blends industrial EBM, rave, and hard techno into a sound of raw physicality and industrial power. Relentless rhythms, hammering beats, and metallic textures forge a brutal dancefloor weapon. This release turns pure aggression into kinetic muscle music – a soundtrack for dancing with iron in hand.

The release is accompanied by a video featuring Eddie Dark, who is summoned by XTR HUMAN to master the art of sledgehammer golf in the industrial wastelands of Berlin.

Featuring remixes by Dancing Plague, Personal Offence, and Kris Baha, Sledgehammer drops July 18 via Wie Ein Gott Records.

Tracklist:

01. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer
02. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer (Dancing Plague Remix)
03. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer (Personal Offence Remix)
04. XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer (Kris Baha Remix)

NAZARENO [bassi] - NO/TEMPO
BUY LINK: https://adepta.bandcamp.com/album/no-tempo
Label: Adepta Editions (https://soundcloud.com/adepta)
https://www.instagram.com/adepta_editions

The Adepta Atanor Collection continues with its second installment, following the RAN | BIRDS release. Once again, we explore the work of artists who typically operate outside the spotlight, presenting their creations under exclusive aliases for Adepta Editions.

For this release, the featured artist, performing as Nazareno [bassi], delivers three tracks that challenge the established norms of contemporary electronic music. The mini-EP, titled No/Tempo, offers a deconstructed view on the concept of unity.

No/Tempo serves as the focal point of a "non-place"—a realm where all potential resides, the fundamental origin of unmanifested forms. In this exploration of the essential, the three compositions diverge in distinct and opposing directions. They lack a defined trajectory yet share a singular point of genesis, akin to something long held outside of time suddenly manifesting in a primordial burst.

Experience this unique "Dadaist" soundscape, where established styles and genres are not limitations but rather foundational elements for a work of broad scope.

Feedasoul Records is proud to welcome South African deep house craftsman KaySoul with his debut full-length LP, Black Rose. A ten-track body of work, with six cuts specially selected for a limited vinyl release, Black Rose is as personal as it is profound - a record that reflects KaySoul’s journey into fatherhood, love, responsibility, and self-transformation.

Steeped in rich textures and soulful depth, Black Rose isn’t just music - it’s an introspective offering wrapped in the raw spirit of house. With subtle nods to the legacy of Larry Heard and a South African house sensibility woven through each groove, this album moves with intention, emotion, and a grounded sense of purpose. It’s moody, honest, and beautifully restrained.

“The black rose represents the mystery and beauty of life. It’s about resilience, strength, and the courage to embrace change. Becoming a father shifted my whole world. This album carries that transition—the chaos, the calm, and the clarity that follows.”– KaySoul

With collaborations featuring OVEOUS, Steve Faets, and Berenice Van Leer, the LP doesn’t shy away from warm melodies and vocal moments, but it remains rooted in that heads-down, late-night feeling. Organic synth work, evolving arrangements, deep low-end, and tasteful restraint guide the project from start to finish. These are not just tracks for the dancefloor - they’re meditations for the mind, body, and soul.

KaySoul’s name has been quietly bubbling in the deeper corners of the scene for a while now. Since 2010, he’s built a signature sound with heavy emotional weight—earning him recognition at the 2018 Dance Music Awards South Africa, where he took home both Best Remix and Best Male DJ. Influenced by jazz, soul, and the subtle textures of broken beat and downtempo electronica, his palette is wide - but his intention remains laser-focused on soul.

As a label, Feedasoul has always championed groove with depth, emotion with purpose, and Black Rose is no exception. This is one for the diggers. The late-night selectors. The ones who still believe house music is a form of storytelling.

PREMIERE : KaySoul & Steve Faets feat. Zeynep Erbay - Mellotron (Vocal Mix)

On his remix of Oora's And Then, It Faded, Bogotá-born producer Hermetics takes a
moment of quiet introspection and turns it inside out.

The original, recorded live by Italian artist Oora using a Vermona Perfourmer and
Minimoog, is a study in restraint: looping synth figures, soft distortion, a mood that
hovers somewhere between nostalgia and resolve. Hermetics hears something else
in it. His version folds in broken percussion, shuffling groove and a low-slung swing
that never fully settles. It’s still reflective, but the contours are sharper, the space
around it more unstable.
