My concept and direction for ‘Her Future Ghost’ was to write a film score for a film that doesn’t actually exist,’ says Tim. ‘As an avid film score fan, I wanted to create a body of work that took certain typical soundtrack traits. For example, different motifs that repeat throughout, like character them Read More

Cid Inc. – Abyss [Replug] Beginning 2018 by remixing two of the industry's most revered talents in Nick Warren and Jerome Isma-Ae, Cid Inc now presents his first original project of the year. 'Abyss' is the hugely anticipated follow-up to the Finnish artist's chart topping progressive anthem 'Shifter'. A staple in the sets of Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren all throughout 2017, it sat comfortably as one of the genre's best by year's end. From stripped, punchy beginnings 'Abyss' retains the progressive techno ethos Cid Inc. was instrumental in creating almost a decade ago.

Betoko & Rafael Cerato – Devil Feat. Liu Bei [BluFin] 'What the hell is going on here?', you ask yourself after a few bars listening to „Devil“ - the name says it all! With united forces, Betoko, Rafael Cerato and Liu Bei created a magical, fancy and touching Tech-House-piece, which succeeds in realizing the rare fusion of functional track and classical song literally weightlessly. The emotional singing of Liu Bei floats over a subtle synthy arpeggio, which astounds us by its unusual metric: It is partly in five-four meter and also transports something unearthy, supernatural. Dubmix and Instrumental certainly turn the energy screw towards club use, but also keeping the mystical atmosphere. And with „Abrazo“ finally comes a cool B-Track by the producer team Betoko & Rafael Cerato, reminding on 80s-synthpop highlights. The two guys have some more in common besides their cooperation: Both already released solo projects on Einmusika, Diynamic and Get Physical. Mexican born Betoko lives in London, where he also runs his l Read More
