Back again after his feature on the last VA, Inflair drops three solid rollers that sit right in the underground groove. 1) Sweet Baby A percussive groove that just rolls. Tight drums, smooth hats, and a deep bass that keeps the floor moving. It leans on that older school club energy but still feels fresh, good for when you want something that's both classic and current. 2) Check 1 Check 2 Another roller, this one with cheeky vocal chops and a bouncy riddim. Short, catchy bits of voice float over the rhythm, giving DJs a quick hook to pull people in. Works great for keeping momentum up, whether you're building or switching things up mid set. 3) Night Like This A sexy, house leaning closer with a strong vocal. Warm chords and a late night vibe make it perfect for clubs or rooftops when the night is deep. It's classy and hypnotic, not frantic, exactly what you play when you want the mood to stay high but relaxed. Three tracks, three flavours, same groove. Percussive depth, playful vocal hooks, and sultry house warmth, each one can slot into a set without feeling like a filler. Good for ravers and DJs who like straightahead dance floor heat with a bit of soul and nostalgia, not just noise.

Dragged by ancestral sounds in the distance, La Zic's first release of 2026 sees Norwegian talent Casper Schulz making his label debut with “Change Their Minds” EP. Rigid, glacial sounds from the North of Europe paint the sky with the shades that we’ve never seen before, and we can only appreciate them in their majesty.

All three Casper’s originals weave their way through crunchy grooves, microhouse grooves, and full-bodied basslines, evoking something sinister, almost evil, that came out of the underground. Twisted vocals and rumbling FXs do the rest, making his work something that will resonate up to the most extreme latitudes of the Earth.
