ASHER SWISSA & Alar have come together for the superb new single I Don't Want which comes on the reborn label with remixes from Alexey Union and Rafael Cerato. ASHER SWISSA is a side project of Skazi and a master of melodic techno and progressive house. He has had previous collaborations with the likes of Miss Monique, Korolova, Space Motion & Matan Caspi, and works here with Alar, a producer, DJ and Music Healer associated with labels like Get Physical. The original here is a tough and moody cut with deep, heavyweight bass under slick drums. The vocals bring a spine tingling sense of soul as sharp snares and cosmic synths unfold for real dance floor drama. I Don't Want (Alexey Union Remix) is even more out there in the stars with its big and emotional synth waves and spraying leads bringing extra tension. I Don't Want (Rafael Cerato Remix) then closes out with a slick tech beat and dreamy pads that are complimented by a busy lead which brings some twisted tension. Th

Over a year since the drop of their second long-player on the label, "Lost Spirits", German outfit Hidden Empire reemerges on Stil vor Talent with "Who We Are", the first single taken from their third album, "Momentum", to be released in early 2023. Riddled with stadium-sized emotional bursts and their genotypic peak-time readiness, Novakovic and Schäfers' latest keeps on pushing in that zenithal direction their previous efforts continuously hinted at, fusing textbook cinematic poignancy with that of the most fiery DJ-friendly tools through ambitious sound tableaux that promise to provide the raver in you with compelling amounts of poetic spaciousness and tight-wound dancy dynamics. The first track and lead-single featuring Felix Raphael on vocals, "Who We Are", is a pop-influenced chugger that perhaps best defines Hidden Empire's ambivalent style, both hi-NRG and innervated with a melancholy that infuses down to the bass and most functional elements. Geared up for big-room tracti

Renaissance kick-start 2023 with a fresh, new look alongside a returning favourite… Coming out of the blocks faster than Usain Bolt in his prime, Renaissance begin 2023 with one of their favourite sons - the very talented Sasha Carassi, who presents two AA-side bombs to blow away the winter blues. Lead track ‘Fotosintetica’ features the vocals of Davide Famularo and finds Sasha exploring new musical pastures, as he confesses, “This is a more visceral, deeper me. The objective remains the same, to take the listener on the emotional journey, but the style is definitely evolving and pushing boundaries.” The evolution box would not have been so easily ticked were it not for one of his favourite vocalist collaborators - Davide Famularo. “Davide is very creative,” Sasha generously admits, “whilst writing he has this unique process, which is ‘strange’ in the very best sense of the word; he’s a pleasure to collaborate with and his warm voice always adds that ext

After an exciting year full of wonderful releases by talented artists and fantastic support from DJs, press & music lovers, we can look back with pure satisfaction on a successful year 2022. At the same time we are already looking forward to 2023 and we can reveal that we have prepared a lot of great music for you! To start the new year with a big bang, we proudly present a very special track for our 11th journey on Future Romance! None other than Einmusik and Solee, two of the most authentic and experienced artists both with impressive careers as producer, live act, dj and label owner in the worldwide melodic house & techno scene join their forces. In german summer 2022 the two met again during a performance in Berlin and went afterwards in Einmusik´s studio. After a little jam session the idea for a cooperation was born and only a few days later "Mariposa" arose. In the meantime the track has been road-tested at many shows from both artists and is now ready to release

For our final free download of the year we are pleased to welcome Ezequiel Arias back for a new and much requested edit. Argentinean artist Ezequiel Arias has enjoyed a litany of successes across his now decade-long career. As a perennial staple in the sets of progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Cordoba resident has emerged as one of the genre’s elite producers in recent years. Anjunadeep, Odd One Out, Replug and Sudbeat have been recent vehicles for his groovy sounds, while his highly regarded DJ sets continue to see him grace some of world's trendiest venues and festivals. As a regular contributor to our series, Ezequiel has taken to editing and remixing iconic tracks from 16 Bit Lolitas, Active Child and most recently Sasha’s titanic take on Unkle’s ‘In A State’. Continuing to search for new pieces to put his elusive stamp on, Ezequiel took to editing Jody Barr’s ‘Accidental Lovers’ earlier this year. Famed for being selected to Sasha�

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed debut EP released a few months ago on the label, Barcelona-based producer Gespona reemerges on Stil vor Talent with his eagerly-anticipated followup, "Magota". Comprising four tracks that move the cursor from stealth bass percolation to exotica-fuelled swagger, via injections of tendinous hip-hop-laced prog and heavily processed machine funk, this sophomore incursion from the Spanish talent does way better than simply keeping its promises: it opens on dimensions that were hinted at, but yet to unfold on Gespona's previous efforts. Lead-single "Magota" fractures its way in through a well-balanced blend of powerhouse subs and brittle piano chords. Remaining subtle in his approach, keen to explore further that grey area between neo-classical mellifluousness and proper club-focused firepower, Gespona treats us to a masterly orchestrated slice of poignant electronics, culminating through a prismatic climax of heart-broken synth swashes and finessed clav
