Adriatic legend, Hell Yeah Recordings regular and consummate musician Verdo dropped his long-awaited debut album GRATIS CLUB on Hell Yeah in February. Now the third single for it gets a standalone pressing complete with remixes from German electronic mastermind Lauer and Secret Society aka South Wales's Cal Gibson. Ballad is a bittersweet downbeat delight. It's the sound of the party ending - a comforting accompaniment for the walk home with a fuzzy synth afterglow, distant stars twinkling before they fade out as a warming vocoder blurs reality. Running Back mainstay Lauer's remix brings more snap to the drums and layers in loopy arps and sugary chords that uplift and energise with the same sun-baked warmth as Moon Safari.Finally, previous label remixer and Buena Onda contributor Cal Gibsons shows his class with a whimsical rework that's gently rhythmic. A warm glow rises up amongst the sad robot voices and dub weight keeps you locked in for a bleary-eyed trip.
NS006 features the Argentina-based Producer, Engineer, DJ & Friend of the label known as Balam. Across two originals, the Mambo Negro EP carves out a space where deep, disco-leaning rhythms meet subtle tension. Balam explores restrained, after-hours movement, warm low-end, drifting synth work, and grooves that unfold gradually rather than announce themselves. Remixes by Mytron, Mandruva, and Roy Heneman expand the EP's atmosphere while keeping the pulse intact.
"Acid Gato" is a forward-driven club track built around a tight and solid groove, where bass and drums lock in to create an immediate urge to dance. Slightly aggressive in nature, the track carries a raw, street-wise attitude, enhanced by Brazilian Portuguese vocals that bring flow, character, and urban energy. Produced at Veleta Studios in Tulum, Mexico, the track emerged from a collaborative process rooted in experimentation. What began as a simple idea months earlier was reshaped multiple times until Leo Leonski and Shoao sat down together in the studio, allowing new inspiration to take over. Acid bass lines, Latin American percussion, and carioca-influenced vocals were layered in, giving the track its distinctive identity. At its core, "Acid Gato" balances indie dance textures with Latin rhythms and a warm yet punchy bass line designed for the dance floor. Favela funk-inspired vocals sit on top, adding grit and groove, pushing the track into a bold and hypnotic territory. Made in Latin America for global dance floors, "Acid Gato" is a driving, uncompromising release that captures the essence of movement, rhythm, and raw club energy — true to the spirit of Cacao Records.
Robbie Akbal and Aaron Suiss' standout track Time Left receives powerful remix treatments from Hrag Mikkel & Sarkis Mikael and DJ Skif—delivering pure peak-time dancefloor energy. Driving basslines and hypnotic grooves define this release, making it a must for late-night sets. The original version already gained support from Sebastian Leger, who featured it on his Lost Miracle weekly podcast.

https://www.instagram.com/bandolierrecordsofc/ Following the success of its first label anthology, Bandolier returns with NUDISCO & RE-RUBS, the second compilation dedicated to the labels favourite moments on the dancefloor. This collection dives deep into Bandoliers playful world of House, nudisco and re-rubbed club weapons, where funk, house and warehouse energy collide. At the heart of the release is Chewy Rubs, whose unmistakable style threads through the compilation: raw disco cuts, dubby, late-night rollers built for sweat-soaked floors rather than trends. Alongside Chewy Rubs essential catalogue cuts are standout contributions and collaborations with Travski, Andy Tex Jones, Fran Deeper, North Laine and The Magic Track, each adding their own flavour while staying true to the Bandolier ethos, stripped-back grooves, boogie basslines and no-nonsense club intent. From rugged disco tools and acid-laced chuggers to soulful rubs and straight-up party tracks, NUDISCO & RE-RUBS captures the sound Bandolier has become known for: timeless, unpretentious dance music with attitude. An essential collection of the labels journey so far, and a reminder that the best tracks are the ones that keep people moving.
