Bombis099 The Maersk Project - Houwse That As Bombis edges ever closer to the landmark 100th catalogue release, release number 099 arrives with impeccable timing courtesy of long-time label associates The Maersk Project, who deliver a heavyweight package that perfectly bridges the gap between the label's past, present and future. Featuring a commanding original production, a DJ-friendly dub, and a trio of standout remixes from Jay Tripwire and Eviltron, Houwse That is a release built for those who like their grooves deep, their basslines heavy and flors moving. The title itself, Houwse That, carries a playful challenge-something akin to saying 'try this for size' after landing a knockout punch. Fittingly, that's exactly what this release does. While continuing to develop their own respected imprint, Konform, The Maersk Project have remained a consistent presence in the underground, quietly delivering quality productions and remixes wherever they appear. This latest Bombis outing serves as a reminder of exactly why they remain such a respected force. The Maersk Project - Houwse That The full vocal version opens proceedings with maximum impact. Built around a dark, rolling groove and a commanding vocal hook, the track immediately locks listeners into its hypnotic rhythm. As the arrangement unfolds, layers of percussion, growling low-end pressure and razor-sharp bass stabs gradually intensify the atmosphere. Every element feels purposeful, creating a track that rumbles with intent from beginning to end. Deep, driving and unmistakably Maersk Project, this is underground house music at its most effective. The Maersk Project - Houwse That (Dub) For those who prefer their grooves without the vocal spotlight, the dub version strips things back while retaining all of the original's dancefloor power. The groove remains front and centre, allowing the intricate production details, rolling basslines and hypnotic energy to take control. Different approach, same devastating result. The Maersk Project - Houwse That (Jay Tripwire Mix) Remix duties begin with one of Bombis' closest allies and one of underground house music's most respected names, Jay Tripwire. The Canadian producer brings his signature touch to the original, injecting it with infectious swing, quirky textures and the unmistakable wonky grooves that have made him a favourite among discerning DJs worldwide. Equal parts playful and powerful, this remix showcases exactly why Jay's productions continue to stand the test of time. The Maersk Project - Houwse That (Jay Tripwire Ambient Mix) Taking things in a completely different direction, Jay delivers a beautifully expansive ambient interpretation. Deep atmospheres, drifting textures and heavily processed vocal elements transform the source material into something immersive and cinematic. Designed for the heads who appreciate deeper moments within a set, this version ventures far beyond the dancefloor while maintaining a strong connection to the original's mood and character. The Maersk Project - Houwse That (Eviltron Deep Interpretation) Closing the package is Bombis label boss Eviltron, who takes the track even further into the abyss. Where the original is dark, this interpretation is positively subterranean. Thick, rolling basslines anchor the groove while shadowy atmospheres and sinister textures create a hypnotic sense of tension throughout. The result is a deep-tech excursion that feels relentless in its grip, pulling listeners ever deeper with each passing bar.
'Shape of the Unknown' is kind of a double LP that fully embraces the idea of exploration. It is CHLOE's most expansive and immersive work to date. 'Shape of the Unknown' is CHLOE's fourth proper studio album. Its predecessor, 'Endless Revisions', was released in 2017. Nine years have passed. Nine years during which CHLOE has continued digging for music, DJing at internationally renowned clubs and festivals including Rex Club, Robert Johnson, Panorama Bar, Nuits Sonores, Glastonbury and many more, releasing EPs and remixes, while also allowing herself the time to explore entirely new creative paths. The challenge is to capture the unknown, make it her own, endlessly reshape its textures, and ultimately preserve its mystery. The first single 'Drifter', released back in June, already offered a striking glimpse of the sonic territories the album would venture into, driven by its hypnotically contoured basslines. The album's two other singles offer different windows into her world. 'Shapeshifter' captures CHLOE at her most hypnotic, balancing stripped-back techno and melodic house through deep rolling grooves, expansive bass chords and subtle rhythmic shifts that constantly reshape the listener's perception without ever disrupting the flow. Later, 'Repeating The Obvious' takes a more leftfield route, pairing staggered rhythms with retro-inspired harmonics and an understated indie dance pulse that feels simultaneously familiar and unpredictable. CHLOE has ventured into live performance through new formats, notably alongside percussionist Vassilena Serafimova; immersed herself in film scoring with soundtracks for Paris la Blanche, Arthur Rambo, The Mountain, Blanquita, Guru and Unsubmissives; and developed compelling collaborations, from High Season, her project with Ben Shemie of Canadian band Suuns (which resulted in the album The Call), to her own organic, experimental audiovisual performances under the name Slo/Mo AV. Throughout Shape of the Unknown, CHLOE blurs the boundaries between deep house, hypnotic techno, electronica and cinematic sound design with remarkable fluidity. The album unfolds as a continuous narrative rather than a sequence of tracks, moving effortlessly between beatless ambient passages, rolling analogue grooves and emotionally charged club music. Organic percussion, sweeping bass movements, melancholic harmonies and richly textured synthesisers create a body of work that constantly evolves, where no section feels static and every transition reveals another layer of depth. There is an unmistakable warmth running through the record, with grainy analogue textures and spacious production giving even its most driving moments an intimate, almost tactile quality. The album's title is no coincidence. It evokes a form that has yet to be named, something language itself struggles to grasp. CHLOE approaches it through an organic creative process. Each piece must first be performed in the studio, almost as if it were being played live. The album will be followed by a series of live performances and DJ sets, including a show at the Olympia on March 18, 2027. She is joined by a handful of steadfast collaborators. Jazz trumpeter David Enhco appears on two tracks, 'Undertow' and 'Inner Bass'. But above all, there are the voices: Ben Shemie lends his unmistakable presence to the radiant 'More Than Just a Feeling'. Olivia Merilahti, singer, songwriter and one half of The Do, appears on the otherworldly 'TWYR'. Working with Olivia's already hypnotic voice, CHLOE has approached it like a sculptor, enhancing its strangeness and dreamlike quality. And finally, impossible to miss is the instantly recognizable voice of Kittin. A longtime accomplice, she lends her distinctive phrasing to CHLOE's music here for the very first time. The strongest collaborations are often those that take their time, arriving only when the moment is right. Same kind, same bass, same vibe, same pride. The result is an enigmatic, nocturnal record, drifting between introspective listening and dancefloor functionality, revealing an artist who remains far more interested in atmosphere, movement and emotional storytelling than conventional club structures. It is an album that invites us to dream more deeply and to dance again, both within ourselves and out in the open.

Crossroads of Destiny is the first single from Equanimity, the debut album from SHMIKESSS, out on Tomorrow's Monday on 4 December 2026. The album grew out of his first Vipassana retreat. Days of silence, leaving space for sound to emerge. Written in spring, the single is an electronic sound journey through meditative states. Calm at its centre, hopeful at its edges. The Breaks Mix was made for the closing of Origin Festival's Beats Floor, carrying that same journey onto the dancefloor. Both roads open.
Landing suitably on co:clear, At the Right Place at the Right Time is the spellbinding debut record from luminary figures of the Roman underground, Portamento. As DJs and promoters of Scivoliii, the duo of Filipo Tosti and Alvaro Labao Garcia has been peddling a range of sounds over the last years. This time though, their attention firmly turns to transportative ambience, where melodic lines and mummering voices are rarely paired without weighty sub-bass. It's absolutely an ambient record but the (soft) influence of the club sometimes peeks through. Written between Forum Studios (fka Ennio Morricone Studios) and Alvaros tiny apartment in Trastervere during Romes torrid month of August, its sound owes itself as much to burning intimacy, as it does to the weariness of distance. It truly operates in those moments of devotion/desire between the late-night/early-morning, like a candle at the end of its wick that flickers, before it's finally extinguished as your eyes become too heavy to resist sleep.
Son Of first surfaced in 2015 with Social Zombies on Opal Tapes. A decade on, he returns with YYY on his own label, Digital Empathy, the fifth in its sinister futurism catalogue. Unconventional minimalist Detroit electro, eroded IDM, 8-bit dungeonstep, and deconstructed funk interlace into one unifying sonic world of YYY. The dawn of the anti quasi-replica is here. Only taste will survive.
Jack Hamill concludes his trilogy of space saga albums with The World Overhead landing on Tiraquon Recordings on October 30, 2026, with a special limited transparent blue edition issued exclusively via Bandcamp from October 16, 2026.\n\nIntroducing the science fiction realm of Mikrosector-50 and Mr. 8040 on breakthrough electro funk 12-inch, The Love Quadrant (2009), Hamill signed to R&S Records with the double 12-inch "prequel", The Pathway to Tiraquon6 (2011), setting the stage for debut-album proper Welcome to Mikrosector-50 (2013), where Prince-inspired funk and sleek '80s synth-pop soundtracked Mr. 8040's hazardous journey home via heartbreak and drugs. By Love Beyond the Intersect (2019), Hamill's vocoded opus turned introspective, pairing gentle krautrock influences with themes of love, redemption and self-discovery, mirroring Hamill's personal life, sobriety and creative renewal. Through lockdown Hamill retreated to the countryside around Belfast to reacquaint himself with his machines, experimenting with driving acid and trance, and playing guitar, culminating in a fuzzy shoegaze meets banging IDM sound. Relocating to Amsterdam in 2024 and setting up a new studio, Hamill wrote the third installment of Mr. 8040s saga, bringing the storyline and himself back to earth. \n\nPresenting under the new moniker, Jack Tiraquon, and releasing via his own label, Tiraquon Recordings, The World Overhead is the sound of Hamill removing the guise of Space Dimension Controller and concluding the space-themed concept to move forward as the cinematic hardware musician he's always been at the core. \n
