Following last year’s collaborative hit 'Pulling Me To You' with Jono Stephenson and Frynn, Belgian DJ and producer Paradoks makes a triumphant return to Purified Records with his brand new single 'C’est Toi'. An effortlessly cool fusion of melodic techno and deep house, ‘C’est Toi’ captivates listeners with its sophisticated blend of rhythm and emotion. The track pairs a sultry French vocal that exudes sensuality and charm with powerful, anthemic drops that are both uplifting and immersive. Its driving bassline and intricate melodic layers create a dynamic interplay between energy and atmosphere, striking the perfect balance for both introspective listening and the dancefloor. With its sleek production and emotional resonance, 'C’est Toi' showcases Paradoks’ ability to craft music that is as captivating as it is memorable. Known for his introspective and melodic storytelling, Paradoks’ releases on the label depict an essential part of his artistic evolution, wi

"The Wave", one of the most important releases on Discotexas ever, combined the prowess of AWEN, Moullinex △ GPU Panic, and Xinobi, and together they crafted a true masterpiece, which now gets its first remix from Nandu whose remix flips the original into a dynamic & melodic soundscape using his signature rhythmic edge. Throughout his career, Nandu has been affiliated with several record labels, but it is his association with industry heavyweights like Innervisions and Afterlife that has propelled him to success. His EPs and features in the VA compilation series Secret Weapons and Unity have brought his name to the forefront, making him a recognizable and beloved artist within the melodic dance music scene. Recently his contributions to Tripolism have garnered great support from Pete Tong at BBC Radio 1 with their breakthrough track "Dope Dance". AWEN, Moullinex △ GPU Panic, and Xinobi: "We're all absolute fans of Nandu, so when we heard he was up for remixing The Wave, we

After debuting last year on Stil vor Talent, Berlin-via-Paris based producer Temple Tears clocks in with a brutal new addition to his array of club-busting weaponry. Titled 'Lose Control', this new duo of electrifying floor sweepers flings us straight into a blazing pit of raging EBM rhythms and raucous bass firepower. The lead single packs a mix of wild, destructive punch and nimble, acid-drenched flow engineered to explosive effect, providing moments halfway big-room smackdown and adrenaline-stacked rollercoasting. Definitely one to steer ravers into fierce peak-time euphoria just like that. Cutting a similar path of destruction across the room, 'Walk Away' unfolds a monster swell of trouble-brewing arpeggios, aggro house jack and brooding vox shots. Think sizzling electro freqs, squelchy FX and TT's typical hard bounce, blasting murky, neo-noir vibes all around. Shifting up a gear, 'Lose Control' is your favourite DJ's next particle accelerator.

Returning to Meanwhile once more, Alex O’Rion delivers a stunning new double with the twin-tracker “Tunnel / Blackout”. A regular on GMJ & Matter’s Beatport top 10 Progressive House imprint, Alex O’Rion has provided a score of production credits to Meanwhile. Among them, May 2021’s “Echium” and August 2022’s “Pluvia / Solis / Sericum” stand out as blue-chip original offerings with remixes for Rich Curtis, Jiminy Hop and GMJ & Matter themselves, adding to an increasingly successful portfolio. The opener, “Tunnel” is a driving rhythmic monster that revels in a rapid-fire percussive groove, booming kick and rolling bassline sequence. Pitching slightly as it evolves, the low-end supplies subtle melodic variation before a chorus of motifs, cadenced stabs and rippling arpeggio creates a sumptuous combination. Flowing freeform melodies emerge in the second movement and into the breakdown providing the perfect pause for breath before a rasping bassline

TAU welcomes a powerhouse link up for our latest release. Italian duo Hunter/Game combine their creative energy with Øostil to form a supreme alliance. Both acts have long established themselves with the house and techno realm, bringing their unique flavours to a long line of releases and performances around the world. Their credentials are top tier and this new single demonstrates their prowess, with two alternate mixes including a spellbinding rework by Denis Horvat. Release epitomises the combined experience of these two talents, with crisp sound design throughout. An undulating bassline lures us into the mesmerising atmosphere, with hushed female vocals speaking in French and a repeated Release mantra. The tension builds steadily, as all the elements coalesce and complement each other, guiding us into a breakdown. After this point, the track continues in a similar vein, the low end maintaining its hypnotic grip as the seductive vocals drift in and out of the background. Denis Ho

Archetypal rhythms, otherworldly melodies, and galaxies of possibility converge in Pandhora, a solarpunk-inspired, electronic music project whose France-based founders, Amine and Rémi, seek community over accolades and wonder over predictability. Disenchanted with the confines of the corporate world, the duo left their respective engineering jobs in 2015 to embark on a sonic quest. Fusing psychedelia and electronica with moods of melancholia, mystery, and bliss, they began to craft in music their vision for personal and collective empowerment: the curation of dreams, the embrace of freedom, and reverence for the Earth. The band’s emphasis on instrumental improvisation and artistic collaboration reflects their drive to innovate, share, and experiment. Pandhora’s music, and especially their live shows, elicit strong emotions and deep catharsis. Free-form, unstructured sounds combine elements of vocals, guitar, and keyboard. Ethereal rhythms and eclectic euphonies usher audie
