It is freezing out, and this new Feinstoff cut sounds like it came prepared: With a new EP on Feinstoff, Kay Chi and Sharlese step forward again, fronted by "Icedancer". It moves in that neo Italo lane but never feels nostalgic for the sake of it. The lead track "Icedancer" is one that sticks. The hook pulls you in, while charging claps and rolling toms keep it in motion. The production feels powerful without turning heavy. It has lift, it has drive, it keeps pushing. On remix duty, Freudenthal and Saeuer take a different route. They raise the tempo with a strong 90s piano house vibe all over. It shows their signature genre bending instinct, sliding between House, Indie Dance and Italo like it is second nature. The groove rolls, the piano lifts, and the drop rewards with a highly addictive hook.a Rounding off the EP, "Makes Me Feel Special" moves into darker territory, with synth lines that feel straight out of Stranger Things. Early DJ support by: Curses, John Noseda, Affkt, Just Her, Alinka, Joyce Muniz, Daniel Watts, gizA Djs credits

FTTF47 kicks off 2026 like it means it. "Angel Wings" by Mia Mendi and Skuro opens the ride -  high counts, 80s-leaning synths, bleeping percussion marking the start of the race. The floor is set, the engines are on. "Going Up" from ESSED and Sam Collins picks up speed, rolling percussion, space-filling vocals, cheeky and a little sweet. The ride is moving now. "Who Are We" by To Young and Yoel Daynis marks the theatrical moment just before the finish - hands in the air, eyes closed, nobody sure what's coming next. "SCANDAL" by CALAO underlines the end and opens the celebration: the night waiting outside, drinks already cold. Four tracks tracing the perfect arc from takeoff to release.

Ricky Montanari and Bom Tecker return to the line with "Suspicious", a refined electronic gem that pulls you straight back into the golden era of the 2000s

Sincopat proudly welcomes Italian duo Modelers with Juggi, a two‐track indie dance EP that showcases their distinctive blend of sophisticated club music and raw dancefloor energy. Born from a deep friendship and the meeting of two generations, the project channels Detroit and Berlin influences into a sound that feels both global and deeply personal. Juggi opens the EP with a slow‐burning indie dance trip built around a tight, rolling groove, a thick, pulsating bassline and evolving synth lines that grow in intensity with every bar. Subtle percussive details, filtered textures and fluid automation keep the arrangement in constant motion, creating that hypnotic, cinematic tension that lets DJs stretch the track into long blends and control the energy of the floor with precision. Little Dolly reveals a more introspective yet club‐ready side of Modelers, driven by raw, textural synth work and a hypnotic vocal hook that pulls you straight to the dancefloor. Crafted with the same indie dance DNA as the title track, it balances emotion and tension in a way that feels both intimate in the headphones and powerful over a sound system. Enjoy!
