ALBUM: ELEMENTS (Beatport Exclusive)
Release Date: November 21st 2025 
Artist: PYRRHUS & Ste Cunliffe (Vela) 
Label: Somnia Records / Beatport Exclusive

Overview 
Elements is a modern classical electronic album from Manchester based artist PYRRHUS in collaboration with UK producer Ste Cunliffe (Vela). The album explores the natural forces that shape emotional equilibrium — air, fire, earth, water and space — translating elemental motion into melodic minimalism, modular expression and cinematic electronic sound design.

Sound Direction Electronic, atmospheric and deeply textural — Elements sits at the meeting point between modern composition and melodic electronic movement, offering a refined listening experience that still carries dance floor lineage without becoming functional club music. This is music designed for immersive emotional focus — patient, deep, spatially aware — with rhythm serving tension instead of dominance.

Key Positioning / Genre Placement 
Main: Electronica 
Secondary: Melodic House & Techno 
Modern Classical Weighted

Why it matters Elements represents two creative worlds merging into one language — a shared signature between PYRRHUS’ minimal orchestral emotional world and Vela’s modern electronic design approach — creating a sonically rich LP that feels both immediately grounded and timeless.

'Friedrich Raphael preps us for a glistening summer with the release of his second EP on Istanbul based Petra Digital/Vinyl Recordings, entitled 'Koi'. The EP features remixes from Berlin artist, Sense of Sun and Kassell based Herb Rhythm adding an extra flavour to the work of art, whilst keeping to the key theme of warm summer nights we all long for. All arranged in a tight package of digital and vinyl. 
 
Friedrich pays homage to classic deep house with his first track, 'Vitra'. The powerful kick drum drives the energy of this original mix which allows a mellow pad and slapping bass to play off one another, giving us a powerful groove to move our feet to. 'Villa' gives the dancer a harsher taste of Friedrich’s music with the percussive elements becoming more active whilst still maintaining the distinctive vibe. A touch of class from the blossoming talent, with his grip tightly gripped on a bright future. 
 
Sense of Sun takes 'Vitra' and gives it a rework in his own refreshing style. The intended feel of the track is still at the forefront but Sense Of Sun stamps it with a hint of a disco feel, with the constant shuffle of the hi-hat line and funky bass steering the track towards this road of happy feels. Herb Rhythm takes a slightly different route with his remix of 'Villa', motoring towards a garage feel with its disjointed drum arrangement, weaving in and out with its prolific chords, notably suited for one of those dancefloor moments you could not possibly forget.  
 
If you’re looking for an EP that’ll keep you moving through a glistening summer, Koi is the one for you. Keep your eyes peeled for a Beatport exclusive release on the 26th June and for the general release on the 10th July.'

Ian O'Donovan - Still Waters Remixes [XYZ020]
Release Date - July 24th, 2020
Stream & Purchase - https://ampl.ink/1j8oJ

As a crucial figure in the history of the thriving Irish dance scene, and a favorite of the When We Dip team since their early formation in Dublin, Ian O’Donovan is an artist innately connected to the XYZ label. Through an illustrious career, he’s presented his unique blend of uplifting productions on behemoths such as Bedrock and Suara.

For an artist like O’Donovan, long form collections such as the recent Still Waters album provides a refreshed insight into the Irishman’s studio character in 2020. Still Waters masterfully touches upon deep & melodic tones, while also propelling us into techno-oriented fields throughout the project.

Continuing the LP’s journey, we proudly present four remixes from across the electronic landscape. Given the diverse nature of the original material, it’s only right that the remixes are equally as eclectic.

Rounding out the remixes we have Petit Beurre revisiting Stratus. The Austrian duo have an old school feel to their sound, as their groove-laden techno is brimming with Detroit influence. The Stratus rework harnesses swirling synths on top of an analog bass and a classic kick. It’s a sumptuous finale to a collection of remixes that O’Donovan and XYZ feel is the perfect accompaniment to the Still Waters project; an homage to electronic music’s diverse nature.

'Out-Er founder Simone Gatto delivers his new EP ‘Imaginary Realities’ via Tiefschwarz’ Souvenir imprint this September.

Southern Italian producer and DJ Simone Gatto has been releasing material over the past decade via the likes of Curle Recordings, Orlando Voorn’s Night Vision and his own Out Electronic Recordings aka Out-Er amongst others. Here though, Gatto delivers four fresh originals for the long-established Souvenir label with a remix from fellow Italian Distant Echoes.

‘A New Wave’ opens the EP, bringing textural pads and synthetic percussion into the limelight while sturdy low-end tones and muted drums further fuel the subtly blooming composition. ‘Quest For A Vision’ follows, bringing focus towards dubbed out acid stabs, crunchy drums and metallic chimes.

Next up is ‘Restorative Agents’, employing a bubbling arpeggio bell like tone at its core alongside saturated drums and reverberated low end pulsations. ‘Primal Reality’ is the fourth and final original from Gatto, a tripped-out five and half minutes of resonant synth flutters, heavily swung drums and bouncy synth patterns. Distant Echoes then completes the package with his take on ‘Primal Reality’, a contrastingly more dancefloor affair fuelled by tension building, ever unfolding synths, vacillating tones and a driving kick.'

We're welcoming Sasheen on board with the vocoder fueled 'Colors'. A proper tune for the summer time with its dreamy and airy melodies.

'Origin' is a bit more straight forward and in your face, though still flowing properly with it's immaculate soundscapes and melodies. Timeless classy tune!

Qbical has fired up the ole' machines and delights us with a beatless electronica version of 'Colors' to end things in style.

What a lovely Manual label debut by Sasheen here!
