Movement Limited presents a new progressive house release as Tim French and Pilch come together for Nova Albion, accompanied by a remix from Aubrey Fry. The original version of Nova Albion sees Tim French and Pilch combining their shared love for classic progressive sensibilities with a modern, forward thinking edge. Built around a warm and driving groove, the track unfolds patiently, allowing evolving synth layers, subtle textures and melodic movement to shape a journey that feels both timeless and contemporary. A solid low end anchors the arrangement while atmospheric elements and carefully placed effects guide the narrative toward a hypnotic and emotionally charged progression, making Nova Albion equally effective for late night dancefloors and deeper listening moments. Tim French is a British DJ and producer based in the South West of the UK, with roots firmly planted in the nineties progressive club scene. Drawing inspiration from classic hardware driven sounds, his productions reflect a deep understanding of groove, structure and emotional flow. With releases on respected imprints such as Sudbeat Music, The Soundgarden and Music To Die For, Tim continues to refine a sound that bridges the foundations of progressive house with a contemporary sensibility. Pilch is a UK based producer from Devon whose music blends dark atmospheres with melodic drive, firmly rooted in progressive house. Known for crafting immersive and cinematic soundscapes, his productions balance hypnotic rhythms with detailed textures and subtle melodic development. With releases across labels including The Soundgarden, Blue Magenta, Pro B Tech Music, Melodic Beats Recordings and Mistique Music, Pilch has built a reputation for delivering music that resonates across both club environments and deeper listening spaces. The remix comes courtesy of Aubrey Fry, who delivers a confident and refined reinterpretation. Taking a slightly darker and more expansive approach, the remix leans into rolling rhythms, detailed percussion and a deeper harmonic palette. The original themes are reshaped with precision, creating added tension and release while maintaining a strong sense of flow. Aubrey Frys version adds a powerful alternative perspective, designed for peak time moments while preserving the progressive spirit of the original. Aubrey Fry is a highly respected figure within the global progressive and electronic music scene, with releases on influential labels such as Last Night On Earth, Bedrock Records, Balance Music, Sudbeat Music and Mango Alley.

Following her acclaimed 2023 release Flood City Trax, a dreamy, lo-fi take on footwork inspired by the crumbling rust-belt city she calls home, Nondi returns to Planet Mu with her second self-titled album, Nondi… While Nondi… retains some of the hazy, nostalgic atmosphere of Flood City Trax, it pushes her sound in bold new directions. I made this album to capture the sense of freedom I used to get from music when I was first discovering it all, Nondi says. Its meant to be cute, fun, kinda weird and emotional — but most of all, its a presentation of some of the prettiest tracks Ive made. Though she hasnt really experienced club culture where she lives, her impressionistic productions evoke the surreal, lingering sounds of a night out — the melodic haze that hums in your ears as you drift off to sleep. Lo-fi and melodic, yet fluid and free, her music carries a sense of flight and intuitive logic. Nondis influences range widely — Actress, Aphex Twin, footwork, and the stranger edges of dub techno are all felt, yet she hallucinates them through her own weathered, dreamlike lens. Her tracks often build from clashing loops that evolve and transform organically, or from familiar genre elements reshaped by her instinct for misty, heart-wrenching melody. Some moments stay closer to genre, like Broken Future 175, a drum-and-bass tear-out that dissolves into lush, blurred chords, or Just Hanging Out, a bruised and beautiful take on 2-step. Lead single Tree Festival feels like a blown-out fusion of rave energy and sped-up new-age bliss, while Death Juke drifts through off-beat vocal samples, pulsing drums and 8-bit FX, reminiscent of early Steve Reich reimagined through a Game Boy. Nondi… is a uniquely moving and exploratory album that expands her sonic world even further. Lo-fi yet luminous, playful yet profound.
Its time to welcome back Matty Wright to Critical Elements with another exceptional release. Featuring Francesca Paynes stunning vocals, Matty has really delivered with this track, digging deep to produce a familiar but at the same time fresh sound. Breakbeat is weaved over a soaring almost progressive trance sound capturing the classic Space Brothers/Chakra vibe, building slowly but surely to a full on crescendo. This is a very special track.

Former Pulled Apart By Horses guitarist, James Adrian Brown, shares his new single Sidestep, the second track to be taken from his forthcoming debut solo album Forever Neon Lights out January 30th via Castles In Space. After achieving chart success, touring the world, and releasing four critically acclaimed studio albums with PABH, Brown has begun paving a new path in instrumental electronic music. Sidestep is available on all streaming platforms, featuring three exclusive remixes from KLSR, Kayla Painter and (O) Naut. Where previous single Generator introduced the albums themes of resilience and momentum, Sidestep dives into the moment where balance falters, and how to move forwards. Fast-paced, concise and rhythm-driven, the track captures the feeling of trying to find your footing when life tilts unexpectedly. On the new single, Brown says I wanted it to feel like the gears shifting under your feet. The analogue synths, the pace, the glitchy edges, they all represent that moment where everything wobbles but you find a path through it. Its the sound of recalibration. Browns solo work is heavily electronica-based, utilising analogue synths alongside tape machines, piano, strings, and immersive electronics. His focus lies in the analogue process of capturing and creating sound using physical hardware. Hot off the heels of producing Benefits critically acclaimed album Constant Noise earlier this year, and following a continual flow of live shows, singles, EPs, collaborations and remixes by the likes of Hayden Thorpe, Blood Red Shoes & Benefits. Forever Neon Lights is an exploration of memory, movement and transformation. The album draws inspiration from childhood trips to the Blackpool Illuminations, where brightness, motion and imagination fused into a lifelong sense of creative possibility and hope. Across its tracks, Brown reflects on childhood wonder, the excitement of possibility, and the struggles and triumphs of chasing a creative life. The illuminations serve as both literal and metaphorical inspiration: dazzling, unending, and powered by unseen energy. Brown worked on the record with long-time collaborator James Mottershead, merging analogue hardware and immersive electronics into a vivid, evolving sonic landscape. Forever Neon Lights marks a bold step in his reinvention from acclaimed guitarist of Pulled Apart By Horses to an instrumental electronic artist with a distinct emotional and sonic identity. Speaking about making the record, Brown says: This album is me laying everything out, the things Ive carried since being a child, the hopes, dreams, and doubts Ive felt as an adult, and the stubbornness to see things through. Writing and recording it felt like reconnecting with that wide-eyed version of myself who thought the lights back in Blackpool wrapped right around the entire country every Christmas and went on forever. Its about taking that feeling and turning it into something lasting and real. Forever Neon Lights will be released January 30th, 2026, on one of Britains most essential electronic record labels, Castles In Space. The album will be available on limited 12 gatefold vinyl and across all streaming platforms.
Making a welcome return to the Proton Music catalogue, Luis León and Unseener are joined by the multi-talented Eleonora as they showcase BTG. A single remix comes from iconic figures, Gai Barone and Luke Brancaccio. Renowned figures within the underground dance fraternity, Luis León and Oscar Paredes (aka Unseener) have been at the vanguard of the Progressive House scene with a series of highly polished productions for some of the most illustrious independent labels. From Manjumasi to Oleeva Records and Nie Wieder Schlafen to Lenfant terrible, almost 300 credits have shone a powerful light over their talent, including a century on Luis own Blankhaus Music. Proton Music has also played a part in that success, not least with the Concorde EP in April 2024. A howitzer of a release with remixes from Petar Dundov and Juan Deminicis, Luis León and Unseener return to Proton alongside the vocal talents of Berlin-based, Eleonora. Widely regarded as one of the most important female producers in the underground dance scene, her production work and vocal talent have graced a slew of A-list imprints including Anjunabeats, KATTERMUKKE and Get Physical Records. Making their collective debut, BTG is a superbly crafted breakbeat extravaganza with superlatively spaced bassline groove and delicate melodic progression. Eleonoras vocals quickly add to the sonic collage in bouncing waves of joy and infectious playful quality. Developing easily over its 4-minute timeframe, the track is a breath of fresh air in a world where a touch of sonic joy goes a long way. Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio need little introduction to the Progressive House faithful. Both formidable producers in their own rights with a list of credits that totals nearly 1000 between them, their work in solo and collaborative guises for some of the most important underground imprints, has been seen regularly on the likes of Bedrock, Sprout, Renaissance, Balance Music and Lost & Found. A remix of dernis, the kid in mid-2024 marked a Proton Music debut, while the Got to Get it Started EP in July 2025 showcased an original track of the highest order, alongside remixes from Orsen and Michael A. Now returning with a second remix, the Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio remix is a stunning interpretation that evolves effortlessly over its near 9-minute timeframe with a subtle tribal beat and swathe of stereo-panned effects. Before long, Eleonoras vocals appear front and centre as they float across the deep rhythmic textures. Hitting another level at the breakdown, the introduction of a devastating synth pattern elevates the track further still as it builds in relentless fashion. Dropping into a rousing finale, a hypnotic synth cadence and Eleonoras vocals combine with Luis and Unseeners original elements to create a masterpiece of modern Progressive House. Another gold standard, Luis León, Unseener and Eleonora have mined a powerful piece of electronic music in BTG, further bejewelled by Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccios 24-carat interpretation.

20 marks a defining moment in Eitan Reiters musical journey: a two-decade retrospective distilled into twenty pieces that trace his evolution through his solo work under Eitan Reiter, the explorations he developed as Out of Orbit, and a wide network of collaborations with artists such as Patrice Bäumel, Simon Posford (Shpongle), Infected Mushroom, Echo, Red Axes, Noga Erez, Sebastian Mullaert, Extrawelt, A. Balter, PRZ, Sandman, Shulman, and Perfect Stranger. These collaborations sit alongside the earliest chapter of his story — his rise as one half of the duo LOUD with Kobi Toledano — a period that laid the foundation for the expansive sonic world he would later shape. Far from a conventional compilation, the album represents Reiters most formative creations, studio milestones, remixes, and rare live versions, tracing his artistic trajectory with uncompromising clarity. Released on his label Impulse, it captures both where he has been and where he is heading. For Eitan, 20 represents the first stride of a new creative run, with a fresh wave of music already on the horizon. The vinyl edition gives the release special significance: a curated selection pressed exclusively for this format, making it a standout item for collectors. Reiters musical path, shaped during a period of rapid shifts in underground electronic culture, has remained distinctly his own. While the world changed its technology, communication, and even the ways we listen, his music has only grown more resonant. Hearing his earlier and later pieces side by side blurs linear time and taps into something essential — a musical intuition that feels constant despite changing contexts. Choosing the final twenty was difficult, but Eitan settled on the works that had genuinely stood the test of time and remained constant companions throughout his journey. This continuity is especially evident in the pieces that document his creative dialogue with other artists. Patrice Bäumels reimagining of Eat You intensifies the tracks subtle tension. Reiters version of Infected Mushroom and Yahels Electro Panic transforms a Psy-Trance classic into a bold, 80s-inflected Indie Dance cut. Echos vocal performance on X-Vision deepens the tracks emotional impact. Red Axes transform the psytrance piece No Disco by Out Of Orbit and Shpongle into something quite the opposite of its name, infusing it with their signature dark-disco style. Extrawelt bring cinematic weight to Ups & Downs, while Noga Erezs Worth None becomes a textured and exploratory re-envisioning in Reiters hands. His collaboration with Sebastian Mullaert on Dissolve displays hypnotic electronica, and the teamwork with Simon Posford on Seagulls Pt. 2 reveals a shared pursuit of depth, atmosphere, and sonic curiosity. The album concludes with Underwater, a solo piece that returns the listener to a place of stillness after more than two hours of movement, reflection, and transformation. Its presence carries particular emotional weight: Underwater was also the opening track of Eitans very first album. Here, it reappears as a closing chapter — completing the circle while gently inviting the journey to begin again. 20 stands as both a summation and a renewed starting point: a portrait of an artist who has grown, adapted, and experimented without losing sight of the emotional core that has defined his work from the beginning.

Man Bro brings together two familiar Rotterdam voices: Charlton Ravenberg and Khalil Ryahi. What began as a run of late night hardware jams in a shared lockdown studio eventually shaped All Time High, an eight track album that drifts between coordinated chaos and stripped down rhythm. Techno, electro, acid and skeletal 808 drum patterns surface and fade, driven by hands on experimentation and intuition. Everything was built on analog machines and developed over the past few years. Charltons background in rugged, left-of-centre techno shapes the heavier edge but also brings in the off-kilter chords and warped melodies that run through the record. Khalil, drawing on his Triphouse roots and years of steering the sound of Infinite Pleasure, handles much of the drum programming and detailed editing, giving the tracks their swing, structure and forward pull. Together they form a language that feels natural and direct, two working methods meeting in the middle. All Time High arrives on December 19th as a super limited double LP edition of 25 copies, each featuring custom artwork by Steef Offerhaus, making every record its own piece. The release captures the pace of their city, years of friendship, and the unpolished energy of the sessions that shaped it, documenting a project built on trust, improvisation, and the feel of machines in motion.
With Forty Sixing, Levels of I aka Gustav Meyer-Belitz, a long-time friend and supporter of Turnland, has created a debut release that not only pushes genre boundaries but also blurs them with his detailed productions. Here, percussive beats meet dubby techno elements that blend with deep pads and old-school chords. Despite the broad genre mix, Gustav manages to create a coherent narrative through consistent and compelling sound design. Forty Sixing is catchy and club-ready as an EP without losing its melancholy and depth.
