As the head of Lumière Noire Records, CHLOÉ has been instrumental in developing a platform where the most contemporary electronic artists can thrive. The Parisian DJ/producer’s forward-thinking spirit has enabled her to collate an eclectic roster producing beautifully innovative sounds that’ll be just as suited to museums, installations and art exhibits as they are at dancefloors, clubs and festivals.

LAUER’s single ‘H00V’ will act as the introduction on this mini-VA series release on the 23rd May, with the full package featuring tracks from Paresse, Costello and an exclusive collaboration with CHLOÉ and Destiino will be out on the 6th June.

Paresse’s ‘SEM EMS’ opens the release with the genre-splicing Stockholm native completing the VA’s impressive cast of contributors. A methodically designed arrangement of dub-laced melodies and motorised grooves, its choppy mix of low-end and digitalised undertones revolves uninterrupted with woofer shaking intent before the beat comes to an abrupt halt.

Bordeaux native, Costello is renowned for his versatile productions, on his track ‘Fresh Flesh’ he incorporates a jagged, fractured melody that bumps alongside haunted organ strings that permeate each breakdown. With nods to dark disco and minimal house throughout, the unpredictability of the VA’s opener sets a truly intriguing precedent as for what’s to follow.

A long-time collaborator of CHLOÉ’s, Yuksek revives his mysterious Destiino alias to collaborate with her on ‘Venere’. Feverish and choppy from the get-go, it features far-out melodics that click together to produce a wonderfully weird amalgamation of hissing synths, chunky bass notes, and a series of mystifying effects that snap and pop across its stuttering, robotic soundscape.

Frankfurt renowned DJ/producer LAUER who had already contributed a track to the label’s ‘From Above Vol.1’ compilation back in 2018, adds a garage-like edge to the VA with his track ‘H00V’ to act as the teaser single on the 23rd May. A stomping maelstrom of percussion underpinned by a nose-diving, mottled bassline makes up the core of this 00s-era throwback, which rigidly sticks to the 4x4 blueprint as bells ring, snares snap and laser-strobe effects flash to create a darkly crafted but still vibrant composition.

Tracklist:

1. Costello – ‘Fresh Flesh’
2. Destiino & CHLOÉ – ‘Venere’
3. LAUER – ‘H00V’
4. Paresse – ‘SEM EMS’

PREMIERE: Costello - Fresh Flesh [Lumière Noire]

The three tracks for this EP are lovingly crafted using his collection of vintage drum machines, samplers and expansive modular setup, and are presented in both stereo and Dolby Atmos. Opener 'havin it' is quick-stepping, low slung house cut lit up with glistening chords and gorgeous soul samples that shine through next to low-key but euphoric 90s trance progressions. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside while remaining locked to the groove. 'lush' is just that, with summery harp strums shimmering across dusty and speedy deep house drums that sweep you up and fill your heart with hope and joy. It's a richly layered sound with a curiousness that truly enchants. Lastly, 'WNE' straightens your back with upright and snappy drums, woody percussion and frayed edged chords that have a cosy nostalgic glow. Coated in a lo-fi haze, plunging bass and aching vocal fragments pull you in different directions as you hurry to keep up with the frisky groove.

BOSSdaddy in the House  - Femdelic & Al - 11 Jul 2025

They bounced and floated softly in the breeze before crashing down with pace upon the shore. A myriad of colours - radiant blues and pinks and orange - the beach balls were the bubble and buzz of the summer on the resort.

This was a tropical climate - the sort made for sipping long cool drinks and lounging upon benches as the world whizzed past in the distance.

Far out at sea she could see a jet ski whizzing atop the water, she wondered who might the rider be, a meek dot against the outback of dense blue ocean.

It was summertime.

Crystaline Reality gets us feeling all sun kissed with a fun collection of tracks on a joint release between DANCEMPORIUM and Tartelet Records.

PREMIERE: Crystalline Reality  - Beach Balls  [DANCEMPORIUM / Tartelet Records]

Hot on the heels of the acclaimed Tears Maker Chant 12” LP, illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub are back on Ransom Note Records with an interstellar remix package. Featuring the inimitable talents of Richard Fearless, Lena Willikens, Rug Dug, Tia Cousins, Zillas On Acid, Tolouse Low Tax, Timothy Clerkin and Vacant Heads, there is a little something special for all occasions on this colossal record. Slip into something comfortable and sit back.

Opening proceedings, Mr Richard Fearless starts us off with a bang with his remix of Control. Or, indeed, a warp. Bubbly Dubby bass abound, frenetic, IDM-esque beats skip along underneath the low end pummelling before giving way to luxuriant chord progressions. A perfect balance of light and shade, this is a weapons grade banger.

Next up, Lena Willikens puts her own distinctive imprint on Digital Pond. Upping the bpm and the pressure, this dark, synthy, Lofi safari is an anxiety attack is audio format. But an exceptionally pleasurable one!

Lead single comes from Strange Affair with their mix of Just One. Who are Strange Affair, we hear you ask? They are the exquisite combination of two big hitters, Ruf Dug and Tia Cousins! We’re delighted to introduce their maiden voyage as a production pair, and they make waves here with a frenzied reimagining of the original.

Elsewhere, Philly Chug Champions Zillas On Acid turn On The Nose into a dance floor stomper of epic proportions. Tolouse Low Trax takes on Terri’s Dub, sliding into a pair of laidback slacks and sipping a cocktail on the showery terrace, his insouciant approach will have you dancing in the most relaxed way imaginable.

Timothy Clerkin remixes LP lead track Tears Maker, which in Froid Dub’s very own words is “like been catapulted back to a DJ Alfredo mix at Pacha Club in 92”. Hands in the air! Finally, our old friends Oliver Ho and Christian Donaghey (Autumns) team up as Vacant Heads to undertake Tears Maker too, moulding it into an angular, industrial dirge, brimming with sleaze, distortion and grimy 808s. You have been warned!

І хоча деякі з артистів, які опинились разом у цьому треклисті, можливо, ніколи не чули один про одного — сьогодні вони всі тут. Разом із нами в цьому дивному leftfield-куті.

Leftfield Corner by Vlad Fisun #006

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-havsmorker-ilvader/

Following our recent news article on Kokong Festival, today we turn our attention to the festival’s inaugural sampler - a curated glimpse into the artists set to perform this weekend inside the iconic geodesic dome at Pub Stallhagen on Åland.

Spanning four tracks, the compilation brings together leading voices from the Nordic electronic music scene: FISK, the analog techno alias of Finnish producer and Elektron product specialist Daniel Troberg; the exploratory textures of Andreas Tilliander and jazz trumpeter Goran Kajfeš; the murky Baltic atmospheres of Havsmörker; and the pulsating club energy of Norwegian techno veteran Mental Overdrive.

Our pick from the sampler is the opening track 'Ilväder' by Scandinavian duo @havsmoorker. Comprising Anton Johansson and Axel Jonsson, the pair fuse field recordings, analogue synthesis, and traditional acoustic instrumentation into immersive folktronica and ambient works. Their sound conjures a sense of sensory navigation - foggy, spatial, and deeply intuitive.

Steeped in atmosphere, Ilväder is both murky and crystalline - a meditative piece that weaves mystical synth lines with effervescent percussion, blending natural elements like flute with earthy, ancient textures. The result is an experimental, downbeat track that gently leans toward the techno spectrum, while remaining rooted in introspection and place.
