#51 Feat. Staff Picks in Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

After a very successful debut VA earlier this year supported internationally by Job Jobse, Roza Terenzi, Anz, and Gearmaster Flip The Lid returns with its second release: Rolly Bump Vol 2; an expansive VA compilation that dives deeper into the progressive underground. Where the first release focused tightly on progressive house and trance, FTL002 embraces a broader sonic spectrum tracing a line from groove-heavy house through to high-energy progressive trance, even venturing into goa and psy-inspired territory The result is a boundary-stretching, club-ready collection that still holds true to the labels deep, proggy core. Featuring contributions from both established underground names and rising talent across the globe, this compilation reflects the labels growing global network and its continued focus on genre-pushing, artist-led music. Tracklist: 1. Aika Mal Obsession 2. Teetee Impress Me 3. Elfenberg Bansuri Bang 4. Charlie Tennger Take Me Away 5. Stones Taro Baby Ghost 6. Glen S We Are Going Clinically Insane 7. Aphid Twerp 8.

With The Legacy – All Time Best Sellers Vol. 3 , MoBlack Records continues its journey through the tracks that have defined its sound on dancefloors around the world. This third chapter celebrates 20 essentials that connect ancestral rhythms, modern production and a global community of artists, each piece carrying its own story while contributing to one coherent, forward-moving vision. The experience opens with Mabiisi Baakoya (Armonica Remix), a powerful meeting of traditional vocals and refined, emotive groove. Barbatuques Baianá (Pablo Fierro Edit) channels raw, percussive energy into a streamlined club tool, while Sparrow & Barbossa, Young Saab Lean Into The Sunshine brings a radiant, vocal-driven moment built for open-air sets. On the deeper side, Nyaruach Gatluak (Hyenah Beat Version) and Sunlightsquare Oyelo (Adam Ten & Mita Gami Remix) blend emotional weight with intricate rhythm work, pushing both heart and feet in equal measure. Roots and innovation continue to collide with Embatucadores Terra Rasgada (Santiago Garcia Remix), where dense percussion meets detailed sound design. CISUMMI ft. Stevo Atambire DIKEBO and Badbox Zurna showcase MoBlacks passion for hand-crafted grooves and hypnotic hooks, while Zakes Bantwini feat. Nana Atta Amanga and Moojo Healing lean into vocal charisma and soaring atmospheres. Moments of introspection arrive with Elfenberg Loma and Juan Yarin Mirage, both rich in texture and tension. The compilations later chapters highlight a new wave of signature cuts. Egeme ft. Sofiya Nzau No Nginya and Dennis Cruz, Ian Ludvig Black Bird bring striking melodic ideas and tight, rolling rhythms. Fahlberg Wytal, Safar & LeCloarec Scandalosa, Jamek Ortega, JUNO Let It Go and Arodes Storm underline the labels wide palette, from deep and hypnotic to bold and anthemic. Closing in style, Lokkhi Terra meets Dele Sosimi Cubafro (Armonica Remix) and Eden Shalev feat. Cantos des Baobab Cantos de Dennadon tie together Afro, Latin and organic influences into a finale that feels both celebratory and timeless. The Legacy – All Time Best Sellers Vol. 3 stands as another chapter in MoBlacks living archive: a tribute to the tracks that have shaped its identity and a statement of how far Afro-influenced electronic music can travel, from intimate dancefloors to global stages.
