Over the past year, No Drama, the label founded by Roy Rosenfeld, has established itself as a space for creative independence and artistic authenticity. Known for his refined fusion of house, techno, and downtempo, Rosenfeld channels the same principles into his imprint, prioritizing artistic freedom, emotional resonance, and sonic exploration. The labels fourth release, No Drama V.2, delivers a cohesive four-track EP spanning over twenty-six minutes of forward-thinking electronic music. Opening with Dubi, Rosenfeld crafts a composition built on contrasts and playful percussion set against a wistful melodic backdrop. Over nearly seven minutes, the track unfolds gradually, expanding into a hypnotic crescendo that captures both dance floor intensity and introspective depth. Next comes Coral by Dulus, a Colombian-born artist, based in Santiago, Dominican Republic. With roots in guitar and vocal performance, his understanding of musical structure permeates the composition. Layers of subtle vocal textures, resonant basslines, and scattered sonic details create a sense of depth and movement. The tracks hypnotic progression rewards close listening, revealing intricate nuances beneath its steady groove. The third track, Pink Hearts, by Sydney-based producer Luka Sambe, draws from his experience in Australias festival scene. Sambe blends melodic house structures with acid-tinged flourishes and offbeat sonic details. Each element lands with intent, building an infectious energy that feels effortless yet deeply crafted. Closing the release is Oscar Wave by Darco, a rising artist celebrated for his immersive live performances that blend electronic textures with organic instrumentation. The track channels early trance influences and Middle Eastern tonalities into an uplifting, psychedelic journey. Its central section bursts into a wave of euphoric release, bringing a fitting conclusion to a compilation that celebrates both diversity and unity in sound. No Drama V.2 stands as a testament to Rosenfelds curatorial vision and sincerity. Each track resonates with purpose, offering a glimpse into a global community of artists united by their shared pursuit of creation.

Jonas Saalbach makes his Purified Records debut with his Data Romance EP, a three-track release that captures the depth, emotion and forward momentum that have defined his melodic deep house sound for over a decade. A stalwart of the scene, the German artists connection to emotional storytelling and dancefloor energy is woven throughout the EP, presenting a cohesive yet varied listening experience. The title track opens with a sense of restrained anticipation, pairing gentle synth stabs and male vocal fragments with textured atmospheres and a steady, pulsating groove. Balancing human emotion with digital precision, Data Romance blends euphoric melodic phrases and crisp rhythmic elements, creating an intimate yet expansive mood. Human Oscillator leans further into Saalbachs percussive instincts, driven by hypnotic rhythms and subtly shifting bassline patterns. The tracks layered synth work and kinetic low-end give it a more physical edge, while maintaining the emotional undercurrent that runs throughout the release. Its a confident, dancefloor-focused statement that showcases Saalbachs refined, hardware-driven production approach. Closing the EP, German luminary and Purified regular Lexer delivers a compelling reinterpretation of Data Romance, reimagining the original through his own inimitable lens. Lexers Analog Heart Remix introduces fresh harmonic textures and a deeper atmosphere, offering a nuanced, emotive take that complements the original while standing firmly on its own. The artwork for this release, captured by @iamsandyra, features a waterfall cutting through dense nature, a visual metaphor for flow, connection and transmission. Just as data moves silently through unseen networks, water travels across land, shaping everything it touches before reaching the ocean. The ocean is fed by countless streams, creeks, and waterfalls that flow from land across the world, carrying everything they touch along the way. Because we are all connected by this shared water system, it is everyones responsibility to keep these places clean, protected, and deeply appreciated for the life they support. This image reflects the core idea behind Data Romance: the tension and harmony between human emotion and larger systems that connect us all. A reminder that beneath technology, movement and momentum, there is always something organic, continuous and alive. Looking to help further protect the planet? Explore Only One, the action platform for the planet, on a mission to restore ocean health and tackle the climate crisis - with the power of the people.
