Berlin based DJ and producer Michael Lane lands on Polari imprint with an energetic debut three-track EP entitled Leeloo. Michael on the production process; "I love trying to find the sweet spot between fun and emotional, where you start clicking your fan then get swept up into something deeper. For this EP I relied on old favourites like cowbells, congas and squelchy bass as a foundation, then brought in sounds like Vangelis' CS-80, Prophet brass, and Mellotron choir to elevate things. I hope they hit that sweet spot and can be a tool to help transition a dancefloor from one feeling to another. I've been a big fan of Cormac for a long while, so it's an honour and an utter delight to be releasing these on Polari." Cormac continues on Lane's release; I met Michael some time ago at the airport. He's been sending me edits and tracks since then, many of which have ended up in my sets. I think this ep is a great intro of Michaels musical style and knowledge. I'm touched that his debut EP is with Polari. Out on 3rd of May digitally, the EP embodies a signature Polari sound transcending time and space and immersing listeners into a time capsule of sweaty disco all-nighters.

Budakid is back on Exploited with an impassioned 2-tracker. A regular at the Gardens Of Babylon events, Budakid has honed a distinctive shade of heartstring House and Indie Dance which has touched labels such as Permanent Vacation and Berlin's Watergate. Here, he delivers 2 travel tickets for 2 disparate trips. 'Infinity' is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish. Euphoric melodies are layered as the track gathers lucency before a wide open breakdown renders a patch of interstellar drifting. Distant snares snap overhead as the bass sequence courses into focus, reeling the listener back into the pilot's seat toward a vibrant conclusion. 'The Curse' then illuminates some gooey, 90's memories. Nostalgic chords are given buoyancy by snappy, Bicep-esque breaks and a pair of synth lines that are braided together - tumbling over one another as they carry the tracks energy. A sense of contrast and tension imbues the groove throughout another voyage that's guaranteed to soundtrack many memorable dance floor moments.
The inspiring run of debutants on Watergate Records continues, as Ede & Deckert step up to the plate. The pair are a newly minted production partnership, having dropped a strong collaborative single 'Immer' on Running Back last September, featuring vocalist 'Sargland' that blurred the lines between indie dance and post punk. Outside of this, Deckert has dropped heat on Connected and Stil Vor Talent, and is one half of live electronic act Deorbiting, while the emerging Ede has credits on Innervisions and Correspondent to his name. When paired together, their work hits different. 'Hold This Down' is an exhilarating tune of the highest order, as a pacey nu-disco is paired with a sped up vocal hook to create a very fun, pop-leaning gem. Robert Johnson resident Maruwa takes the original to another level, upping the tempos and intensity for a slamming techno re-rub. 'Buri Buri' is a cutting-edge genre-hopper mixing up influences from European house and UK bass with inspiring freshness.

Fabrizio Mammarella takes the concept of pure energy to a whole new level by dropping a timeless banger. Check this out!

In a past life, Dutch producer LUPE was a go-go dancer, and their latest release for Sous Music, 'My Name Is Desire', evokes the halcyon years of the underground vogue scene. The title track is a slamming, hi-NRG ballroom odyssey with infectious synths that whir like electric zippers and a delicious come-hither female vocal. 'Ramrod', perhaps named after the infamous leather bar in New York in the '70s, bristles with bubbling energy. Clattering percussion, a hold-tight pace and festive vocal snatches combine in a bouncing club delight. Taking the pedal off the gas slightly, 'Miss Thing' brings the mood back from boiling point to a strong simmer. A tension building transition track, it will keep the dancefloor cooking without sending it into overdrive. 'Battle Beat' shifts back into a higher gear, its driving drums and crunchy, reverbed snares channelling a more hypnotic kind of delirium. Best dropped after the party has well and truly hit its stride. Riding a long introduction, closer 'The Essence' gets a little freaky at the 2-minute mark. Disco goblin vocals and cinematic horns add an air of drama to this dark journey that's equal parts unnerving and intoxicating. Across five uniquely captivating club cuts, LUPE demonstrates that decades of experience have enhanced rather than dulled their instinct for high-impact floor-fillers.

Dark and alluring, IDORU's latest shows off minimalism laced with cyber- futuristic sounds and electro beats that will grab you like sticky tentacles. Suede textured bass lines and edgy vocals combine tension and romance that ebb & flow throughout the track. Encapsulated by echoey reverb, Miedo will simultaneously drop you into the abyss while leaving you afloat in a black, velveteen pool. Balancing the scales of light and dark, French DJ and Producer Mala Ika whips up an airy atmosphere and shines a burst of light in her Italo style remix, for a stellar pairing on this EP. Quote: 'The moment true love strikes feels like a flicker of profound isolation and existential fear, while simultaneously cloaking you in ecstasy. But whenever fear or doubt creeps in, the sound of someone's voice, or looking into their eyes, like magic, can shock you right back into that realm of total bliss, reminding you of what really matters. These experiences are what inspired Miedo, which means fear. The most meaningful bits of life come from knowing fear. I'm really excited that Mala Ika remixed this track because she has a truly original sound and a natural lightness in her music which, for Miedo, is the yang to my yin.'
