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!.

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

American producer Daniel Sampson aka Cendryma has carved out a less than conventional path on this way to being one of his country’s rising talents. From his early beginnings as trance producer under the Tecnosine and Sam Cydan monikers, the Oregon resident eventually grew tired of the genre’s constraints.

With 2025 already yielding an emotive take on ‘A Galaxy Above’ by Chris Sterio and Stan Seba, Cendryma continues on his explorative path, making his roku debut with ‘Fusion’, alongside remixes from Yonsh and Chriss V & Olar
