Pavel Petrov – Divine [Stil Vor Talent] About a year on since his last incursion on the label, Pavel Petrov returns to Stil vor Talent with a new two-tracker, 'Divine'. Championing a sound both exhilaratingly fun and genre-busting, Petrov serves up a pair of laser-guided floor crushers: tapping both in the dream pop seam when it comes to those FX-coated vocals whilst letting the hounds of EBM loose rhythm-wise. Boasting jagged curves, heavily-processed textures and straight out bouncy elasticity, 'Divine' is a low-slung kind of roller, primed for extensive use at peak time or across the more subtly nuanced layers of pre-after boogie down. Either way an understated piece of delectable grooviness and playful funk rolled into a rogue wave-ish heater of a track. More straightforward, 'Way Too High' is a pure bass-fuelled comber set to unfurl upon the dance floors with no-holds-barred punch and infectious swagger. Keeping in line with Petrov's trademark mix of ebullient in-your-face-ness and cross-pollinated rhythmic mischie Read More
Wuzz! Label [Interview] Anton Borin, Montw and Yonsh have been nurturing the idea of creating a label for a long time, and now it's finally happening with Wuzz! All three artists have long developed their own unique sound and that is the main concept in their philosophy with Wuzz!. With an aim to release music without restrictions within the progressive spectrum, from powerful and underground styles to deeper sensibilities, but with an emphasis on the development of style. Progressive without compromise: music born in the studio, not in a hype factory. Unmindful of trends, music exactly as they want to hear and feel it. Through vivid visuals and an emphasis on an explosive philosophy, the label will be remembered as a bold voice of underground progressive house. To visualize their concept, they have engaged an artist Sandra Sheveleva, who draws unique pictures, faces with angular shapes, evocative in their visualization. A focus on exclusivity, art and community where every fan becomes part of the art moveme Read More
Qubiko – Automatica [Stil Vor Talent] Introducing himself to the Stil vor Talent fold with a small tour de force, Italian producer Qubiko lands his debut single 'Automatica' right on cue for springtime. All in elastic bounce and hair-raising tension, this inaugural two-tracker was born from the need to give up on boundaries and the usual beacons attached to a specific genre: "I had no brakes, I had no preconceptions or superstructures that often make me see things in only one direction" says Qubiko, whose mindset for the release was to "have no mindset". The lead single, 'Automatica' pushes in various directions to serve up its own hypnotic blender of steely techno-house chug, batucada rhythms and further funk-infused syncopated swagger. A chiselled piece of cold sonic alloy boiled up to a climax, it runs the gamut from no-nonsense, post-industrial boogie down to future-facing disco-ism. More of an heavy-lidded churner, 'Se Lei' has us surfing the edge between Afro-infused polyrhythmic oneirism, EBM-ish horsepower and Read More

On ‘Refract Glow,’ Mila Stern and New York-based DJ and producer Niki Sadeki fuse Niki’s dreamy, glinting Electronica with Mila’s biting edge.

Losless [Interview + Premiere] Hi Losless, thanks for catching up with us today. How has the start of 2025 been for you so far?Hi, thanks for having me. 2025 is off to a good start, the gig schedule has picked up, which leaves me a bit less time to compose, but it’s all about finding the right balance. We’re now almost three months into 2025, what tracks which have come out so far this year have impressed you the most?This year I loved ‘Osculum' from Avis Vox, an amazing artist. Also, ‘Let Em’ Know’ on Dynamic by Max Styler really caught my ear. Otherwise, even though it was released in 2024, I still can’t get over TTXTC by Obsesh & 8kays… I play it in almost every set, the best track of 2024 if you ask me, and I’m still not tired of it in 2025. What's been a standout gig for you so far this year and why?I just got back from Lyon, just a few kilometers from where I grew up. Since I don’t play in France very often, it was a great opportunity for my family and friends to come see me Read More
