Grigoré – Witches Stay Behind You (Fur Coat Remix) [Eklektisch] Electric Drama is the title of Grigoré’s debut on Eklektisch. This EP talks about the drama everyone can experience someday and the witches (people) who can confuse and poison you on your way. Catchy vocals, melodies and breaky rhythms is what you can find on Witches Stay Behind You and Run Away. On remix duties, Venezuelan flagship artist Fur Coat, caught by Witches Stay Behind You vocals, delivers a groovy dancefloor track with a very powerful main synth hook. Outstanding combo for yet another highly talented release. When Mike sent me Grigoré´s track options to do the remix, I was instantly caught by the vocals in ¨Witches Stay Behind You¨. I knew this had a lot of potential for me to give it a twist remixing it. I think I went with a very clear mind to the studio on what I wanted to do with it. My aim was to do a groovy dancefloor track, with a very powerful main synth hook. For this track I used a mix of analog hardware like my Moog sub phatty for all the low e Read More
Vander & Ben Juno – I Hear The Music [Klassified] It was early 2020 when Vander & Benjamin met at the House of Klassified Studios. Instantly bonded by their eccentric personalities, the two decided to embark on a creative journey together which resulted into two original tracks. The title track I Hear The Music talks about the pivotal moment you feel when the sound hits your soul. Surrounded by walls of love and light, music makes you one with a moment in time. I hear the music, drop down what I do. On the remix duties Musumeci infused “I Hear The Music” with his iconic Italo Disco sound for a perfect dance floor banger, adding a new baseline inspired by the legendary “He’s Not In” masterpiece from Chicken Lips. The second track, Take Me Out of Here, describes the story of a boy stuck between delusion and reality. Not able to get out alone, he screams for help and fights his inner child to break free. Disco and rock meet each other and intertwine into a new sound. Like a taste of fire. I Hear The Music will Read More

GIGEE – Modus Operandi (Niconé Remix) [KATERMUKKE] By now GIGEE is a part of the Katermukke family. Her never failing to impress sound stays strong. This time she sends us on a melodic journey of three pieces. It starts off with ‘Modus Operandi’ and its evolution of an intensively grabbling synth line. Second in line is the Niconé remix of ‘Modus Operandi’, which takes off some pace, pushes the rhythm more squared and reiterates the synth evolution on the original’s peak. Then she finishes it off with ‘Resist To Change’ a track that just seems to be made for big systems. "Modus Operandi" will be out beginning of May.

Vita V – Inspiratu [Renaissance Records] Renaissance debut another rising Spanish star, Vita V, with a mammoth 5-track EP… For an electronic label finding fresh, exciting talent is always a thrill. And with Vita V, Renaissance have firmly hit the jackpot. Another product of the burgeoning Spanish scene, Vita comes from a school of producers who constantly blur the lines between the edgier side of melodic house, indie dance, techno and electronica. “I instantly got ‘that’ vibe when Vita sent his demos in,” explains label manager Marcus James, “aside from impeccable production value, the overall sound has a real creative edge. We may get sent an awful lot of music, but few land with the standout impact Vita did.” From title track Inspiratu, to the glitched male vocal on Obses or the electronica of Collapse My Soul, this is truly an expansive, audacious EP, which manages to retain a cohesive feel. And it was all born out of a willing desire to exit the pandemic, as Vita explains, “As things began to re-ope Read More

Tim Engelhardt – Firestorm [Stil Vor Talent] Following up to his 2020-released sophomore album "Idiosynkrasia", Tim Engelhardt reemerges on Stil vor Talent with his new single, "Firestorm". Putting forth the widescreen poetic vision that has been flowing across his previous releases with an ever-fresh and adventurous approach, this Janus-faced new iteration from Tim fuses two distinct facets of the producer's output - one darker, more subdued, the other out-there and solar. Rolling hips with unabashed swagger, "Momentary" paves the way with a balanced mix of martial marching rhythms and floating keyboard melody tinged with a touch of Oriental chords. Slowly but surely hatching into a bespoke big-room churner as bars run by, the track offers moments of graceful escapism while steadily fanning the groove's flames so the fire doesn't go out, ever. Subtle yet grandiose, a piece of masterly executed electronics that definitely lacks no emotional power of agility. Draped in opaque shades of neo-classical harmonics, blazing with Read More
Stephan Jolk – About My Dreams [RUKUS] 'Matador's mighty RUKUS label serves up its 30th EP here and it comes from Stephan Jolk. After releasing on the likes of Afterlife, Rose Avenue, and Watergate he presents this new chapter, full of energy and passion. About My Dreams opens the EP in true 'A Side' fashion with a very strong summer hook. Tested many times by none other than Matador himself, it’s a real festival weapon. The break creates just a moment of breath and inspiration, before the energy kicks back to skyrocketing highs. Flowers Of Evil is a perfect example of sophisticated electronic music in 2022 with complex chords and harmonising counter melodies. It's a song that can talk about love, and shines on the dance floor. Stephan’s offering of these hugely atmospheric, peak-time rollers is superb. This is classy music that makes an indelible mark.'

Creating stand-out moments in sets and mixes over the last year, Dutch producer Mees Salomé takes listeners on a euphoric trip in his rendition, blending melodic and progressive sounds to enter an entrancing sonic environment.

Collé – People Into Objects (Original Mix) [Eklektisch] We are beyond happy to open our house's doors to Collé. People Into Objects is inspired by the fact that nowadays all of us are busy and almost inhumanly working on more and more so we are seen more like objects rather than real human beings. It is a trip from groovy rhythms in Nobody Home to percussive and dancefloor oriented sounds in People Into Objects to finish with flying melodies in Cold Genius. Available next 29th April on digital platforms.
