'Ficciones V' this time around brings the fun in two easy installments. Same same but different, one could say. Join us for further indulgence in this two-part journey. There might be more down the road - maybe?

Krevix & Kadett come together on Awaken, a flowing and emotive release that balances warmth and energy in perfect harmony. Subtle trancy touches and evolving melodies guide the track forward, creating a sense of lift and momentum that stays with you long after it unfolds.

When you see and hear a Thysma record... life changes for a few minutes... Life improves, mood lifts and memories flow. This talented artist has a real skill in creating 'life moments' in the form of melodic/progressive dance music. Welcoming in back for another feature single alongside vocal talents of Keepa – this is 'Together'. Thysma's music has been at the centre of Zerothree's more emotional side, but it is safe to say that each release has achieved wonderful things from Sirius XM Chill playlisting to rooftop live streams with Cosmic Gate and much more… His music touches the hearts of many and when you hear the expertly crafted melodies (we can tell you lots of heart and soul goes into these!) it is no surprise why each record connects so well with listeners. 'Together' was built alongside US vocalist Keepa who has crafted a theme around people coming together, a sense of 'togetherness'. Alongside Thysma's growing melodies, this one is to be celebrated with friends! This is Thysma & Keepa … This is REALPROG

We welcome back Mumboi, who returns after his appearance on one of our "Perceptions" compilations with a powerful two-track EP, enriched by two outstanding remixes from Rick Offen and Dan Barrow. The opening track, "Higher", immediately stands out with its captivating groove. It delivers a perfect balance between percussion and melody, drawing the listener into an unstoppable vortex of energy. Adding even more identity to the track is the vocal, which provides the right breathing space to a production that goes straight to the point. Rick Offen's remix offers a completely unique perspective: a darker, more tribal rhythmic foundation is contrasted by sharp acid synths that shine throughout the arrangement, creating a powerful and hypnotic atmosphere. Dan Barrow's reinterpretation takes a different direction once again. Starting like a rocket, it highlights more minimal sounds, turning "Higher" into a true weapon for late-night club sessions. Closing the EP is "Show Me Your Moves", a B-side with a more melodic imprint. This is especially evident in the breakdown, where emotion and groove come together before the final drum roll builds tension and prepares the listener for an explosive peak-time moment that is simply impossible to resist.

Naples-born producer Alessio Cristiano returns with a refined three-track release exploring depth, atmosphere, and emotional restraint within contemporary electronic music. Blessing (Club Mix) delivers a hypnotic peak-time tool, driven by a deep rolling bassline and organic percussion, carefully building tension without excess. The Original Mix takes a more expansive approach, unfolding warm low-end grooves and evolving harmonics designed for long, narrative DJ sets. Closing the release, Orion shifts into darker territory, blending cosmic textures with a steady, introspective rhythm suited for late-night dancefloors and mindful listening alike. Alessio Cristiano’s musical journey began early, ignited at the age of seven through his father’s extensive guitar collection before evolving into electronic music in his late teens. Drawn to the limitless sonic possibilities of synthesizers, drum machines, and digital production tools, he has steadily carved out a distinctive sound marked by subtle tension, atmosphere, and emotional depth. His music has been supported by many martists such as Adriatique, Echonomist, Keinemusik, Mind Against, Blondish, Jimi Jules, Jonathan Kaspar, Adam Ten, just to name a few. His productions have appeared on respected labels including Stil Vor Talent, TAU, Monaberry, Purified, Marginalia, and Surrealism.

Darkest Hour Records presents HouseKat — the latest release from Jenner, backed with a powerful remix from Jares, spanning groove-led tech-house and shadowy late-night melodic techno. The original mix sees Jenner deliver a groove-led, tech-house cut, driven by rolling drums, punchy low-end, and subtle soulful vocal textures that ride the hypnotic bounce. Built for the floor, it balances energy with restraint. On remix duties, Jares pushes the track into deeper territory, introducing darker tones and atmospheric tension before unfolding into a killer break layered with eerie pads. The result is a shadow-driven melodic techno reinterpretation that amplifies the track's late-hour impact. Together, both versions offer contrasting yet cohesive perspectives — one warm and kinetic, the other immersive and ominous.

Neo Disco presents "Club Kids" — the label's 27th release and a new collaboration between Discroll and Cortex Power. The track moves between Indie Dance and Melodic Techno while keeping a strong club focus. A spacious atmosphere and fat sound design evoke the feeling of a cold industrial night. Hypnotic lines and mechanistic rhythm are reinforced by an ominous male vocal. "Club Kids" unfolds confidently in peak-time moments. Drive, drama, and cold energy — in the best tradition of Neo Disco.
