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

Two decades in and still rocking like day one, Stil vor Talent celebrates twenty years of unrelenting dance floor activism with a whole year schedule of very special remixes brought together for the occasion. Kicking off 2025 with the first numbers in this series dedicated to revamps of iconic pieces from SvT's back catalogue, Oliver Koletzki himself gives his own interpretation of head-turning classic 'Hypnotized' (feat. Fran). Treating us to a pulsating mosaic of bass-heavy stunts, synth-splattered loops and cyborg-like vocal menace, Koletzki fires off a monster barrage of floor-focussed pyrotechnics on a new wave-informed tip as a counterpar, cutting a path of absolute chaos in its wake. If you like your grooves blazing and your rhythmic grid choppy as restless open seas, Koletzki's own revision of his original floor-crusher is a must, and shall keep every raver on their toes as they brace for that next drop with undisguised fever.

SKALA and Xinobi unite, in a collaboration that has been a long time coming and is rooted in a long mutual admiration of each other's work. The first signs of SKALA’s affinity with DTX came when she co-headlined an ADE event with them earlier this year, as part of the label Amaeo which she co-founded with her partner Theologos. Described by Xinobi as a track whose conception started with the simple suggestion of "we should do a track together", SKALA is in good company with Xinobi as on "Electrified" they prove to be a sonic foil for each other, as after just a few attempts what emerged was a track that combined much of their personalities and unmistakable hallmarks as "Electrified" gradually builds and then soars with euphoria, inviting reflection as well as dancefloor ready moments. For both artists it rounds out a prolific year, and is set to be released on Discotexas on January 17th, 2025. Buy: www.beatport.com/release/electrified/4854274Release Date: 17-01-2025 ALL
