KKD - In a secret room BUY LINK: https://rawculture.bandcamp.com/album/in-a-secret-room Label: Raw Culture (https://soundcloud.com/raw-culture-recordings) https://www.instagram.com/raw.culture.records/ Format: 250 limited 12”+ ​50 limited edition with risograph fanzine In a Secret Room is a retrospective that reopens the sonic and visual archive of KKD, bringing back to light a trajectory that long remained underground within the history of Italian new wave. The tracks, recorded between 1979 and 1986, reflect a constantly evolving process shaped by experimentation, improvisation, and a drive toward new languages. The project takes shape inside a former hotel in Italy’s Po Valley, transformed into a studio, rehearsal space, and visual lab. Here, among analog synthesizers, homemade electronics, and multitrack recorders, Kriminal Killer Division experimented with and pushed their available technology to its limits, developing a hybrid language: sounds captured from radio and the street, synthetic voices, guitars, and electronic sequences intertwine in compositions that move between art rock, minimal wave, and more industrial directions. This collection aims precisely to reactivate that imaginary. The vinyl is accompanied by a risograph fanzine that restores the project’s visual dimension: collages, photographs, and graphic materials reflecting the same experimental attitude found in the recordings. Sound and image move together, as parts of a single expressive device. In a Secret Room offers access to a hidden space where interference, noise, and intuition take form without mediation. Not a nostalgic operation, but a re-emergence: a living archive that continues to generate meaning in the present. Credits: Music by KKD — Loris Barbi, Alessandro Molinari, Guido Molinari, Giancarlo Vitali.
All tracks were recorded between 1979 and 1986.

BUY LINK: https://briannapaon.bandcamp.com/album/nerve-ending Label: Vitamin1000 Recordings (https://soundcloud.com/vitamin1000) https://www.instagram.com/vitamin1k/ > Follow Brianna Paon (https://soundcloud.com/briannapaon) https://www.instagram.com/briannapaon Nerve Ending is a tense, club-focused four-tracker, leaning into stripped, hypnotic techno structures, while draped in outer-worldly accents; mechanical yet human. Brianna Paon, the New England based underground dance music DJ, producer, and DIY party starter announces the release of her latest EP, Nerve Ending, available now on digital platforms via San Francisco-based Vitamin1000 Recordings. Nerve Ending is a tense, club-focused four-tracker, leaning into stripped, hypnotic techno structures, while draped in outer-worldly accents; mechanical yet human. According to the artist, “Nerve Ending represents endurance, growth and sheer will power… this exertion is meant to be felt and channeled, whether introspectively, or on the dance floor, unapologetically.” The project includes standout cuts such as “Dirt Devil”, a grinding, frenzied peak-time offering fabricated with swirling, abrasive textures over a tech house laced low-end groove and the title track “Nerve Ending” introducing the EP with its most confrontational moment, rhythmically insistent broken techno cut with a metallic edge. Artist Quote - "'Nerve Ending' represents endurance, growth and sheer will power — a testament to what can be unearthed in the face of unremitting physical and material setbacks. This exertion is meant to be felt and channeled, whether introspectively, or on the dance floor, unapologetically. Both rooted in nostalgia and fueled by the future, this release toys with classic sounds pried apart by signature outer-world accents."

Four years on from the release of her acclaimed debut solo album, International Love Affair, Tigerbalm returns to Ubiquity Recordings with the thrillingly impressive and kaleidoscopic ‘Bubblegum Discos’. Real name Rose Robinson, has been busy, popping up on Razor-N-Tape, Wonderwheel Recordings, Music For Dreams and 2020 Vision’s Crazy P Curates series. Even so, ‘Bubblegum Discos’ delivers a refreshed, finessed and bolder evolution of her trademark global-infused nu-disco sound. Reflective of a new-found confidence in her own creative credentials and a desire to work with a vast array of hand-picked musicians and vocalists, the album strengthens and clarifies Tigerbalm’s signature sound, delivering a vibrant musical vision rendered in high definition. Seemingly painted in even more vivid and sonic colours, with 21st century tropical disco songs prioritised over club-focused instrumentals, ‘Bubblegum Discos’ is a set designed and structured to showcase interpretations of two of her most cherished musical inspirations – Brazilian musical culture, and vintage dancefloor workouts from the African continent – infused with nods to Italo-disco, proto-house, Soca and the fusion work of Jasper Van’t Hof. The first half of the album leans into Tigerbalm’s South American influences: ‘Nayar’ is a lightly reggaeton-inspired nu-disco excursion crafted alongside Napoli scene stalwart Giorgio Lopez. Bright, breezy and dancefloor-ready, it’s followed by the Clavinet-sporting Brazilian disco rush of ‘Diga Me’, where regular vocalist Joy Tyson ¬sings in Portuguese above an infectious backing track co-produced by Michele Charivarini. The Italian multi-instrumentalist lends a hand, too, on the sun-soaked samba-disco colour of ‘Vera En Paraty’, a brilliantly breezy and life-affirming affair fronted by vocalist Melodie Correira. Robinson delivers her first ever lead vocal on the partly improvised ‘Coco Makako’, a synth-heavy slab of South American neo-boogie/proto-house fusion featuring guitar and keys from Crazy P’s Jim Baron. The album then turns towards the African continent, with additional guest vocalists and collaborators stepping up to join the fun. Chief amongst these is sometime Afriquoi performer Andre Espeut. He first makes is presence felt on two tracks: recent single ‘Pura Vida’, where he delivers lyrics in Lingala that are full of hope, love and inspiration, before returning for percussion-rich closer ‘Conga’, a thrillingly heavyweight fusion of Afro-centric disco rhythms, weighty dub disco bass and far-sighted flashes of synthesised colour. Sandwiched in between you’ll find two of the album’s undoubted highlights: Tigerbalm joins forces with Montreal-based Haitian vocalist and musical fusionist Waahli on ‘Do Da Soca’, a hybrid central American/South American disco workout rich in heady horn arrangements and impeccable musical flourishes from the returning Michele Charivarini. Then there’s ‘Afro-Disco’ with popular Afro-house and Afrobeats vocalist Idd Aziz, a body-popping-friendly workout that re-frames early NYC electro and 80s Hugh Masekela jams for a 21st century nu-disco audience.

The release occilates from the sleek to the abrasive with punchy drums and otherworldly synths existing in tandem with deep tech house grooves. A distinctly European sensibility runs throughout: restrained yet exploratory, minimal yet richly detailed, all landing with understated psychedelia and deep functionality tailored for the heads. crédits

Nina - Internal Makeu BUY LINK: https://fauxpoly.bandcamp.com/album/internal-makeup Label: FAUX POLY (https://soundcloud.com/fauxpoly) https://www.instagram.com/fauxpoly > Follow Nina (https://soundcloud.com/nina_wav) https://www.instagram.com/nina___wav/ We’re delighted to release our first vinyl record on the label since 2023 featuring NINA, a rising UKG/Dub prodigy that will sell out fast. NINA has steadily built a reputation as a forward-thinking solo artist, dropping highly sought-after records with a distinct sound and craftsmanship that set him apart. Just one year in, NINA has released on labels such as Innamind Recordings, 20/20 LDN & Locus Sound. This new chapter is a pure distillation of that journey - a sound informed by dub, garage, grime, and soundsystem pressure. Internal Makeup Features four bass driven club tools that are minimal, weighty and focussed on sub. Opening with ‘World Is On Fire’, the only 4x4 track on the record, NINA sets the mood with a cavernous dub-techno jam and spaced out vocals. The rest of the record hits firmly in UK Bass territory, with stripped compositions that focus on bass-weight and a strong Bristol influence. Finally the EP is closed off with digital bonus track ‘Backshot (Dub)’. Words from NINA: "This EP came together slowly and surely over the space of about a year. I wanted to encapsulate my true sound which can be extremely versatile which is why there is a bit of everything on there. from techno to garage to dubstep."

Decent Rides - Like We Do LP BUY LINK : https://fortunea.bandcamp.com/album/like-we-do-preorder Label: Fortunea Records (https://soundcloud.com/fortunea) https://www.instagram.com/fortunearecords > Decent Rides (https://soundcloud.com/decentrides) https://www.instagram.com/_decentrides_ The Austrian imprint Fortunea Records took a little break to fill up their batteries and comes back now this summer with a release by the Bavarian duo Decent Rides. They are around for a couple of years and are also the masterminds behind the label Interloot Records. On the ‚Like We Do‘ EP they are your guides for a versatile house infiltrated tour. The title-track is an energetic floorfiller with modulated synth sequences and heart stomping drum patterns. Definitely the killer app on this wax. The second track on the A-side features the tune ‚Mind Maze‘. A funky bouncing bassline, reverberant almost siren sounding tones, staccato vocal samples and high accentuated hats make you blister your feet from your high intensively dance moves. On track B2, the duo adds further "Colours" to the record. This melancholic deep house tune exudes a beautiful, somber, and yet captivating atmosphere that is impossible to resist. This track could be very effective when played during sunrise or sundown. And finally, they round off this release with cosmic dub sounds and shimmering chords. "Lembo" invigorates the senses. Every beat on this tech house track is an invitation to let go and feels you the pulse of the underground scene.

Original Funk Band from Paris, Jéroboam, have had only 3 years on the scene but they are already considered as one of the most exciting and essential new voices in contemporary soul funk! A true manifesto for live music and the dancefloor, this eleven-piece live machine hits the stage like a juggernaut and doesn’t just play funk, they eat, sleep, live and breathe it. After a slew of certified underground releases on Space Grapes and Chuwanaga, which have been supported worldwide by tastemakers and connoisseurs, Jéroboam is now presenting its long awaited first LP on Favorite Recordings. From boogie-funk to two-step soul, Jéroboam delivers eight heartfelt songs that combine razor-sharp composition with genuine and relatable lyrics. Achieving such an exciting and challenging piece of work is the outcome of a long and inspiring process started more than 10 years ago in Paris. From their early beginnings on the local scene, the core musicians of Jéroboam thrived on their mutual love for funk music under the name and concept of Echoes Of. Under this previous moniker they already established themselves as a formidable live act with their popular tribute parties to the American cities of funk, held between Paris (Funk & The City at New Morning) and London (South London Soul Train Party at Peckham's Bussey Building). Their extensive live schedule also includes the acclaimed Echoes Of Prince show and high-profile collabs with 80's boogie legends Howard Johnson and Junior Giscombe, till the most essential partnership with Kyoto Jazz Massive, which got them touring Europe and recording with Shuya Okino and Vanessa Freeman as the Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra. Building on these priceless experiences and expanding its line up over the years, the band has been able to sharpen its sound, craft a distinctive identity and create its own original music under a brand-new entity – Jeroboam. This momentum culminates in their debut full-length album, set for release in June 2026 on Favorite. A defining moment for one of Europe’s most vital modern funk acts.

Deltapark is your music sanctuary, a space for tranquility, drift, ambiance, and retreat. As the first label to release music under the new alias of multi-instrumentalist Sascha Hodler, also known as Josh Saxer, we are proud to present a deeply meditative listening experience. This release is a carefully crafted invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a more introspective, immersive state. Known as the creative force behind a wide range of projects, including Jon Donson, Jøorg, Dreksler & Haerle, Kamil Tiger, and KFM Live, Saxer now turns his focus toward depth, stillness, and emotional resonance. Our previous collaboration with him on our sister label LQL, featuring a Franco Pauletti remix, revealed a vast and inspiring body of work. His archive feels less like a hard drive and more like a treasure chest filled with countless ideas, sketches, and sonic moments. Diving into it was both a privilege and a journey of discovery. With a vinyl release by Josh planned for 2027, this EP sets the tone and opens the door into his world, shaped in his Altstadt studio in Bern, where sound and atmosphere merge into something deeply personal. This collection features four tracks from different creative phases, all mastered by Moomin. Enjoy the reflection. Close your eyes. Stop thinking, and start feeling. @josh-saxer @kaufmannlive @naturalpositions

Partyfine proudly presents ‘Hey, Ubaruh!’. It’s the debut album from the Brazilian duo of the same name, a kaleidoscopic journey through psychedelic dance music, Balearic warmth, and the unmistakable pulse of Brazil’s contemporary electronic scene. Since 2013, Yuksek’s imprint has championed boundary pushing artists like Frank Agrario, Dombrance, Fatnotronic, Bertrand Burgalat, The Magician, Alex Metric, and Jean Tonique. Now Ubaruh now steps confidently into that lineage with their most ambitious work to date. A Brazilian duo with a global pulse, Ubaruh is the creative partnership between São Paulo producer Phillipi Alves (Fatnotronic / DEEWEE) and multi instrumentalist Emmo Martins (Monterno / Bamba Music). Their name comes from “O Barulho” meaning the noise — a nod to the long standing friendship and sonic curiosity that fuels their project. Across their early releases from “Pinche Funky Disco” (on Multi Culti) to “Ubaruh Theme” (Partyfine) and the acclaimed “Onda Frisson EP” (Cocada Records), the duo has carved out a signature sound of fat, organic basslines, hypnotic guitars, heavy percussion, acid leaning synths, and a free spirited, cosmopolitan approach to dance. ‘Hey, Ubaruh!’ is eleven tracks of psychedelic dancefloor alchemy and a vibrant fusion of wild textures, Balearic breeziness, and refined, contemporary production. Anchored by real bass and guitar lines, R&B inflected vocals, and a deep percussive backbone, the record moves effortlessly between Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms, cosmic disco, acid house, and sun drenched electronic grooves. Each track feels like a postcard from a different corner of the duo’s universe - from late night club hypnosis to open air beach euphoria. Partyfine’s mission has always been to cultivate a family of musicians who collaborate freely, blending their influences and creative instincts. ‘Hey, Ubaruh!’ embodies that philosophy: bold, colourful, and unafraid to experiment while remaining irresistibly danceable. The album stands as a celebration of independence, community, and the global language of rhythm — a perfect fit for a label that continues to curate “just good music for a better world.”

Nicodemo returns to Alzaya Records with You Are Sleeping, a five-track EP investigating suspended perceptual states through a restrained sonic language rooted in leftfield house and dub-informed spatial construction. Rather than following a conventional club structure, the record unfolds as a gradual modification of listening conditions. Time appears slightly extended, spatial references soften, and vocal fragments function less as narrative elements than as residual signals circulating within the mix. The title track introduces the EP’s mood: a steady but understated rhythmic frame supporting displaced vocal presences and delayed harmonic responses. Echo Phase develops this approach further through layered reflections and recursive spatial treatment, while 'Minor Haze' reduces structural clarity in favour of tonal suspension and diffuse harmonic motion. On the B-side, Domenico Rosa’s reinterpretation of 'You Are Sleeping' shifts the material toward a more explicitly club-oriented framework while preserving its perceptual instability, and Aldonna’s version of 'Echo Phase' treats the original as memory material and stretching and reframing its echoes into a more abstract temporal field. Across the EP, rhythm remains present but never directive. Instead, the record proposes a listening environment in which orientation gradually loosens without collapsing entirely.

They weren't just pilots; they were interstellar renegades on a permanent tour, trading laser fire for soul and bringing the heat to every backwater colony in need of a rhythm—or a rescue. With blasters drawn and a swagger that suggested Han never had to go it alone, they navigated the chrome-and-shadowed depths of the galaxy, a two-man vanguard defending humanity against the encroaching dark with nothing but heavy beats and high-velocity defiance.

Acid and proggy beats, foggy and spooky atmospheres - all built from synthesizers and drum machines, as always with Marco del Bosque. monostalgia starts from a simple, uncompromising observation: nostalgia is not ambivalent. We like to think it flirts between the sweet and the sad - but no. It's bitter, and it only moves in one direction. The title says it, the mono says it too: one direction, one colour, one sound. emlaau and DJ Beluga92 appear on two of the five tracks, not to soften the message, but as a reminder that even in the most closed-off periods, some voices still find a way in.

Roy Ayers band Musical Director Mark Adams curated an all star cast of musicians for his recent live album: This Is Neo Soul. Hosted on DownJazz Records, the album showcased the labels bold new chapter in it’s catalogue. This is Neo Soul was a three-year labour of love originally crafted by Adams and a decorated ensemble of musicians who have toured with legends such as Lonnie Liston Smith, Chic, Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Gloria Gaynor and Gil Scott Heron. The record paid homage to the golden era of 70s soul jazz through re worked classics and new compositions, from the strident opener “Sweet Tears” to the deep cut jazz chairs of “Day Dreaming” and the soaring, spiritual uplift of “Expansions.” On ‘Lush Grooves Vol #2’ we are treated to another series of reworks reinterpreted by some of the most respected names in deep house, broken beat, and future soul. This second drop sees more of the live albums’ tracks reborn through the lens of producers who share that same lineage of groove, musicianship, and dancefloor sophistication. This time it features remixes by master producers Kai Alce, the faultless Jimpster, king of the broken beats EVM128, rising Dutch stars Makez, Bruk Rogers, Streeton, plus an interstellar bouncing broken beat rework from Don Surf. Oof! Together these producers reinterpret the album tracks with a modern sensibility while honouring the spiritual jazz soul lineage that inspired the original project. The full remix album drops in the summer and is a continuum of the mission of DownJazz Records, the boutique NYC Detroit imprint founded by David Schwartz, known for its focus on R&B, downtempo, nu jazz, electronica, and forward thinking soul. Following the success of the original album, this new collection pushes the project into clubs, lounges, and global DJ sets while preserving the musicianship and spirit at its core.

Chicago’s Star Creature Records is proud to announce MIA’s debut album ‘In The Moonlight’. Miami’s queen of the bedroom boogie sound drops the long awaited 9 track album produced by Toronto’s Gil Masuda to much acclaim. The album features her patented sound of lo-fi intimate synth funk just primed for dancefloor but just as suitable for a night in - horizontal or vertical. ‘In The Moonlight’ collects 9 tracks of outer spaced inner-thought boogie-based tunes falling somewhere between synth-pop and synth-funk. It’s a party album ready for the dance floor or bedroom floor. MIA’s earnest yearning for love, respect, tenderness and the uncertainty that often flutters. It’s a new take on a classic sound that clearly is resonating as her sold out shows are packed with like-minded ladies who have listened enough to sing along. It’s becoming rarer for an artist to be able to put together an interesting selection of songs to pack an album without filler or redundant tracks by MIA and Masuda have done it here in classically fresh fashion - a timeless future grail for certain. The 2020’s has seen MIA become a cult favorite amongst funk and soul fans worldwide. A firm believer in less is more, she has released only a handful of 7”s until now - however all have become modern classics, selling out and fetching top dollar amongst collectors and DJs. Her 2020 sophomore single “Love Me Right” has become a modern boogie anthem leading to a constant flood of cross-country flights to gigs across the US. The song came to be when Star Creature’s Tim Zawada linked the then unknown MIA with Toronto’s Gil Masuda having just seen them both looking for studio partners and the rest is history. 2025 laid the foundation and brought the collaboration the contemporary funk world had been awaiting as MIA dropped her first official Star Creature Release “I Don’t Know b/w Key 2 Luv 7”. The success of this one flashed all the signals the world was ready for the long play format and MIA now serves us ‘In The Moonlight’ - an album ready to bump for all things in the night.

As a final flourish, Rambal Cochet unveils a hypnotic Tabla Effect mix—an extra layer of rhythmic depth that lingers long after the beat fades. On the visual side, Christian Krüger crafts a captivating narrative set between two intertwined worlds. Featuring Nikita Takasaki and Mark Wartenberg, the video weaves parallel realities into a timeless, atmospheric story where boundaries blur and connection transcends dimensions. “Back From The Flash” lands on THISBE Recordings on May 29th, 2026—a release where sound and vision collide in a vivid and immersive experience.

Billion One - Hi Cozy Paradise PRE-ORDER LINK: https://billionone.bandcamp.com/album/hi-cozy-paradise Label: Woodland Creatures (https://soundcloud.com/woodland-creatures-label) https://www.instagram.com/woodland_creatures_label/ https://linktr.ee/woodlandcreatures > Billion One (https://soundcloud.com/billion_one) https://www.instagram.com/billion_one_music/ Hey this is Skwirl here to grab at you briefly about the records we have coming for this year’s thematic cluster! The theme is Biome and each record has been linked to one of Earth’s distinct bioregions/ecosystem types. The second record in our Biome series is German producer Billion One’s stunning LP “Hi Cozy Paradise” and it is our Tropical & Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests selection. “Hi Cozy Paradise” is a sprawling kaleidoscopic journey through a myriad genre and tonal stations in a wonderfully realised warm world of dense musical biodiversity. It’s colourful and engaging and very often breathtaking in its beautiful soundscapes. Billion One is multi-instrumentalist Sven Strohschnieder whose work is typified by an incredible deft musicality coupled with dynamic and intricate sound design. Sven is a chameleon of style and genre - from Balearic downtempo to 80s coded pastoral electronica forays and off to heavy thuds of quasi slowed electro, “Hi Cozy Paradise” is no doubt one of his most explorative and comprehensively vast works to date. The LP hovers around concept album territory with each track offering up a wholly different expression of the overarching theme of paradise in all its forms and idiosyncrasies - something perfectly realised in Blake Thompson’s stunning album artwork which splendidly captures the record’s pastel brilliance and warm, gently trippy, fantastical nature. Sven’s background as a drummer permeates throughout the record with tunes anchored by intuitively effortless and satisfyingly groovy rhythmic interplay; and, cheeky playful melodies - quite often punctuated by beguiling vocal chops - dazzle and delight and linger in the ear far after the record concludes. At 14 tracks and 82 minute run time the record is a dense sojourn structured in what can be thought of as two halves split directly at the halfway mark in the track list. The first half a warm wander through pastoral electronica vistas with the second quickly veering to heavier and chunkier locales before returning. The sheer breadth of musical ideas and environments on offer here is nothing less than staggering. It is this fertile and rich sonic diversity that gives the record its Biome classification: “Hi Cozy Paradise” is akin to an aural rainforest teeming with life of all kinds in a thick interconnected ecosystem just waiting to be explored.

Both Jakob Mäder and Lex Ludlow deliver a remix where they adding their own touch, while keeping the sun-soaked spirit alive.

A planet where rivers of glowing energy cut through dense jungle, and abandoned spacecraft remain half-submerged beneath layers of moss, vines, and black water. Strange creatures drift silently through the fog while deep within the wetlands, forgotten temples pulse with symbols from mysterious tribes. For this release, three close friends of the label deliver four interplanetary explorations, navigating the space between sound.

Medicinal EP is five tracks made in a matter of days, recorded live before leaving behind an old studio and a long history with it. The producer camped in the space, set up a live rig in front of the speakers, and pressed record. Twelve pieces came out. Five are here. ‘It was almost a goodbye séance — the last sessions in a deeply familiar room before closing the door on a decade and stepping into a new chapter.’

DUE VOLTE IL FUOCO (Twice the Fire) is an EP composed of six tracks, conceived as a single ritual articulated in two movements. The project was created during a two-month spiritual retreat in an ashram in southern India, a context that deeply influenced both the creative process and the approach to sound.

Synaptic pathways fold into spiraling architectures. Each sequence a deeper descent into the mind's hidden hollow circuitry. From euphoric dissolve to the hum of interior mechanisms, dream state traces the geometry of altered perception where the dancefloor becomes ritual chamber. An invitation to slip into the frontal cortex and navigate the frequencies that rewire thought itself.

Freerange Records proudly presents SUN, the brand new album from Crackazat - a radiant, genre-spanning statement and the long-awaited follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2021 LP Evergreen. SUN is Crackazat’s fourth album and his most expansive work to date: a rich blend of jazz, house, hip-hop, soul, and funk that fully steps into his own lane as a musician, bandleader, collaborator, song writer and producer. Flowing effortlessly between moods and genres, the album reveals the full scope of his artistry - from intricate keys and deep basslines to lush vocal features and extended live arrangements. It’s unmistakably Crackazat: warm, musical, deeply crafted - yet full of moments that feel fresh, unexpected, and alive.

A warm welcome back to Marseille nu-disco label Ravanelli Disco Club, which returns to stores after a near 18-month hiatus. The occasion is a first vinyl missive from Did Virgo - an artist who has featured on the imprint before - and guest Mickey L'Ange. The pair's original mix, a suitably clandestine and basement-ready affair, sits somewhere between alien-sounding nu-disco and sleazy acid house. It comes backed by a trio of remixes, with Black Spuma's sparkling, synth-heavy re-make being followed by a deliciously low-slung, percussion-rich J Kriv revision and Marc Brauner's rave-igniting tech-house take. While none of the remixes are particularly revolutionary, they're all highly playable.

Global house mainstay Marina Trench is celebrated for her soulful and radiant approach to house music. Here she returns to her own label Sweet State with the ‘Watching Back EP’, a bold statement from an artist shaping the future of soulful, dance driven electronica. Known for keeping joy and emotion at the heart of the dancefloor Marina has become one of contemporary house music’s most magnetic figures. Her three year residency at Paris’ Rex Club, constant international touring, and releases on Wolf Music, Deeply Rooted and Heist reflect her rise, alongside collaborations with icons like Gerd Janson and K Alexi Shelby, and forward thinking peers like Bàrbara Boeing and Tatyana Jane. With ‘Watching Back’ Marina presents a rich, cohesive sonic world where nostalgia and modernity meet. Across four tracks she draws from R&B, pop, disco, and soulful house distilling her influences into a vibrant, contemporary palette — her most refined and emotionally resonant work yet. ‘What I Do’ opens with a downtempo, introspective blend of deep bass, reverb soaked chords, and hazy vocals, unfolding into a sensual, slow burning groove. ‘Get High (If You’re Looking for Love)’ pays glowing tribute to the soulful house of Marina’s early DJ years, driven by offbeat drums, warm bass, and a hypnotic vocal mantra. ‘Shake Zone feat. Yaje’ channels a modern romance through disco infused basslines, rhythmic chords, and soaring synths with Yaje’s versatile pop vocals lifting the track into a shimmering, dance ready anthem. The ‘Instrumental Club Mix’ closes the EP with a peak time rework built on warm percussion, infectious basslines and a euphoric synth solo deepened by looping vocal textures. Marina Trench remains a defining voice in contemporary dance culture fusing warmth, groove and emotional depth with her unwavering commitment to joy, connection and the power of the dancefloor.

Helene Rickhard - Everlasting High LP BUY LINK : helenerickhard.bandcamp.com/album/everlasting-high Label: Snick Snack Music (https://soundcloud.com/user-874181388) https://www.instagram.com/snicksnackmusic/ > Follow Helene Rickhard (https://soundcloud.com/helene-r) https://www.instagram.com/helenerickhard/ Hot on the heels of Helene Rickhard’s debut album comes its twin, 'Everlasting High'. An evocative & atmospheric counterpoint to its moody and mysterious predecessor, 'Unpredictable Express’, 'Everlasting High' feels like a blissed out, hazy summer day, echoing childhood memories from Helene's youth in the beautiful southern part of Norway. oth as a producer and DJ, Helene’s style is easily recognised for her bold, genre-blending approach to electronic music. Mixing elements of ambient, techno, and experimental sounds, creating immersive, intricate, and psychedelic tracks. Her DJ sets work the same way, blending Italo, High Energy, and synth gems effortlessly with strange, modern club sounds. 'Everlasting High' also sees Helene’s vocals come to the fore. 'Mad Girl' and 'Lion’s Eye' are both beautiful, dubbed-out synth pop with traces of 80’s synth & shoegaze, revealing a fine-tuned pop sensibility with a vocal style that sits somewhere between Kate Bush, Enya, and Fever Ray. Helene Rikhard has remained a hidden gem in the Norwegian electronic music underground for years, but that’s certain not to last for long. Her sound is an ingenious mix of psychedelic disco, 80’s wave music, techno, krautrock, and ambient, and it truly operates in a world of its own. Drawing inspiration from the cosmic disco of Daniele Baldelli, the jazzy depths of Detroit techno, and the esoteric dreamscapes of Laraaji, it’s astral music for astral people! Psychedelic to the core, but also warm, adventurous, and highly original.

The digital bundle also includes a remix featuring the "Music Minds" Peter Stephan and Joachim Litty. “The shared desire for the EP's tracks to embrace the idea that a remix can be a work of art in its own right has been fully realized. All the mixes have a personal touch, using the originals as raw material that has been played with to one's heart's content. I'm very happy!” Charles Petersohn Building on the EP, last year saw three concerts with three different lineups, each focusing on a different style. Several gigs as a DJ team followed in the summer and autumn. The release party for the remix EP at LOCH in Wuppertal will feature another live set: alongside the deep house and dub-tech duo >Heike< with als420 and Colkin, Charles will perform spoken word poetry, Zu Zu Poetry. A core group, the Zu Zu Family, has emerged from these gigs and DJ sets. A video trailer featuring tracks and snippets from the concerts and DJ sessions will be released soon. Expect more from this side of the project in the future.

We’ve harvested a sonic frequency as searing as the planet's magma, a relic of the ancient Octopae who once engineered a bio-mechanical nightmare capable of blinking entire civilizations out of existence. There is no armor that can stop this ultimate killing machine, only the hypnotic violence of a heavy, rhythmic pulse—so we’ve encoded those heavy-duty, banging beats directly into this record to keep the apocalypse at bay.
