Amancay is back bigger than ever. This wonderful journey began five years ago, and we can't be happier to present the fifth installment of our annual Ficciones compilation. You know the drill: every year, each member of our iron-clad crew hands in one tune for yearly recollection. This time round, split into two juicy parts for easier enjoyment. Grab a seat and buckle up - you're in for a ride.

Formerly known as Alexandros Djkevingr, Alexandrøs makes a powerful debut for the 124th release on Darin Epsilon's esteemed imprint, unveiling a darker and more refined chapter in his artistic evolution. The visionary Thessaloniki-based producer reintroduces himself under a new alias that mirrors the sharpened focus and sonic maturity heard across this two-track EP. Alexandrøs has steadily built a reputation for crafting emotionally charged, forward-thinking club music, including standout releases on Perspectives Digital such as Nostradamus and Thanatos. His productions have also found a home on respected international imprints, most notably Diynamic and Ellum, continuing to explore the deeper and more conceptual edges of Melodic House & Techno and Indie Dance. Shadowban leans into brooding atmospheres and hypnotic tension, driven by a rolling low end and subtly evolving textures that reward extended mixes and late-night dancefloors. Dermometer follows with a more visceral edge, pairing pulsating rhythms with raw, understated melodies that strike a precise balance between intensity and emotion. Together, these tracks highlight Alexandrøs' ability to blend dark club functionality with a distinctly personal sonic identity. Shadowban and Dermometer feel right at home on Perspectives, delivering a mature and atmospherically rich sound that aligns seamlessly with the label's forward-leaning vision.

Sounds R Us Recordings proudly presents the next chapter from Drotec, returning to the label with his latest dual-cut release: Shadowdance and Memories. After earlier appearances on Sounds R Us that showcased his deep sense for melodic atmospheres and groove-driven textures — including standout tracks like Till the Sun Comes Up and Realign on the label's 2023 roster. Drotec continues to refine his signature blend of progressive house and melodic techno that thrives on emotional weight and dancefloor impact. On Shadowdance, shadowy basslines and evolving rhythmic patterns weave into ethereal leads and darkly engaging motifs, inviting listeners into a nocturnal journey that pulses with intensity. Memories turns inward, sculpting nostalgic synth trails and sweeping atmospheres into a melodic narrative that connects past inspirations with forward-thinking production. This release underscores Drotec's ability to balance club energy with emotive depth, a fusion that aligns perfectly with Sounds R Us's mission to champion quality underground electronic music with modern resonance.
