This week were welcoming Aldis and Eclept to MK837. These producers hail from Russia and make some lovely music together. First up is This Is What I Need a prime mover of a melodic house and techno track that was simply made for the underground. Next up is Keep It Real – a funky tech house prime time track with dash of hip-hop for good measure. Dark and dirty by nature, this one should heat dancefloors up to the boiling point. Be sure to check this one out.
Label Boss is back with an original gem, and a remix for our label co-founder Alerch. Fec isnt just back; hes rolling out his signature sound with a deep-hypnotic intro alongside a steady sub-bass groove, prepping the mainstage for an outstanding first breakdown intertwined with back-and-forth vocal chops, then building into the peak-time drop zone, then....Be My Phantasy! Alerch - Arythm (Fecs Cardiac Rite) - Less than a remix, and more like a ritual; in fact, a Sonic Rite is what this rework feels like. Its still highlighted by Alerchs dramatic synth progressions and tripped-out percussion loops, but it adds Fecs melodic-house goodies, intensified risers, and aesthetic bass drops! Rave, Rave & Share The Love!
In high demand since early 2025, this high-energy Afro house rework of Sharams Get Wild comes from the capable hands of All I Need label boss Andrea Oliva and Jaquet. Already an ANTS Ibiza anthem — with support from Keinemusik and Pete Tong — this remix brims with crowd control and undeniable party appeal.
Amaeo proudly presents To Be Discovered V, the fifth chapter of the labels ongoing compilation series — once again highlighting the range and depth of its growing community of artists. The release opens with Chasm, a collaboration between label head SKALA and Julian Koerndl. The two combine their strengths for a dark, hypnotic peak-time hymn filled with siren-like synths, metallic percussion, and haunting vocals that pull you right into its intensity. Off Night keep the energy high with You Dont Know, a pure feel-good house cut from the Ukrainian duo. Its infectious groove and catchy vocal create an instant dance floor spark. Severin SU returns with Out That Speaker, a powerful track built around housy stabs and a driving vocal — the kind of tune that lights up late-night sets. From Italy, Carleo teams up with Gianet for Lunar Enigma, a melancholic yet groovy journey. Gianets emotional vocal line, I was happy with you, floats over ethereal, glitchy synths, creating a deeply immersive late-night vibe. Modeplex makes his Amaeo debut with Starkness, a breakbeat-driven track that pairs a rich bassline with a soft female vocal. Its delicate synth details dance playfully between the beats. Komilev and Deenara join forces for Nandaci, delivering a mystical and melodic collaboration with organic percussion and flowing chords — equally fitting for sunsets or club moments. Adran brings Wake Up, a bouncy, groove-heavy tune with organic percussion, playful stabs, and a vocal hook that keeps the rhythm moving. Closing the compilation, NoNa steps in with She Said I Want It. Her acid-tinged house track powered by 909 drums and a confident vocal line rounds off the release with pure dance floor energy. With To Be Discovered V, Amaeo continues its tradition of uncovering unique voices and fresh sounds — from deep emotion to peak-time drive, this edition captures the labels evolving and eclectic spirit.

The album of the year - and the beginning of a new era at Gigolo Records. Ten club tracks packed with pure impact, crafted by one of todays most talented and innovative producers: Aziz Haddad from Tunisia. His sonic fingerprint breaks all genre boundaries - impossible to categorize - and fits perfectly into the Gigolo Records family and history. Azizs uniqueness lies in his anarchic definition of sound: 4-to-the-floor house, 80s synth pop, techno, and hypnotic beat programming merge into a cinematic, magnetic whole. Selected Bangers rewrites the rules for 2025 - every beat counts.
Another Istanbul affair that ruined the release plan. Manthems Never Do arrived on a random August Wednesday via the paths of the meta-verse and to be honest it parked on the sticks for some weekends. The author kept pushing and also sent some more to realize that serious things could happen here. Its sticky for the first listen, doesnt want too much, just sing the refrain together ,,dooo. Romantic times ahead of us; ,,Night And Day drops millions of rose petals from a double-winged airplane onto the head of the wedding crowd, the sky is steel blue, were all dressed nicely. We call such house tunes kissing ones, and its pretty much obvious why.

Exploited Club welcome in esteemed duo Pig & Dan alongside production buddy Johan Mila. 26 years in the game, Igor and Dan have covered a lot of ground in Dance music, amassing a venerable list of records, check points and performances as theyve grown. Releases on Drumcode and their own label ELEVATE, playing alongside Carl Cox, spinning at Space standing out as jewels in a highly decorated crown. Pig & Dan alongside Johan Mila ready some dance floor dynamite in the form of Living My Best Life which kicks off with a neatly knitted drum track that sets the stage, punching and snapping in all the right places while a sunken bass line snakes in the sub region. Filters open out, giving the bass a serrated edge as it charges up a brash, sassy mood alongside bold, zesty vocals before gears shift and the vibe absolutely rockets. Stabs, vocals and drums burst with alacrity across a vibrant, no-nonsense banger that gives an Italo soul a certain hi-def, Electro edge. Johan Mila steps in with a viciously effective remix. He sets his drum machine pumping out a tight braid of snares, perc and busy hats while synths spread like butter across the groove. A warped piano line courses into centre stage before ducking behind flexible sweeps and a ripe, nasty bass line. Teeth are bared in the break as things take a slightly sinister turn - low frequencies growling and gathering steam before letting loose in a wild, hedonic buzz.
Were excited to drop Rewind, a club weapon straight from Sarajevos own After Affair, core members of the Garden of Dreams collective. Designed for pure dancefloor energy, Rewind hits with rolling percussion, a heavy low-end drive, and synths that build tension with every bar. Its a track that doesnt wait around, sharp, hypnotic, and made to move bodies. No slow build-ups here, Rewind jumps right into the groove, locking you in from the first beat and giving DJs exactly what they need to turn the night up a level.
The Mutations VII series concludes with part three, featuring Black Space, Komilev and Klawin. Each artist brings their own signature tone to the mix, shaping a cohesive yet varied closing chapter. The result is a fluid collection that ties together the series core themes - movement, restraint and transformation - with understated confidence.
For its third release, CLOSER returns to its founder, Maxim Lany, with a track that embodies both the labels vision and Maxims unmistakable sound. Tunnel is truly a tribute to minimalism: hypnotic, pulsing and dark yet playful, built for late nights and long sets. Where Habibi was a love letter and Without U a confession, Tunnel is an exploration of tension and release. Maxim layers deep, minimal grooves with a sense of cinematic weight, creating a track that feels at once personal and universal, introspective yet firmy rooted on the dancefloor. With each release, CLOSER sharpens its identity: fearless, emotional, and always moving forward. Tunnel is Maxim Lany at his most distilled: focused, patient, and utterly magnetic. The passage opens. The rhythm guides. CLOSER to the night. CLOSER to the journey. CLOSER to you.
Parallel to Midnight Mass, the critically acclaimed debut album of Grammy-nominated DJ, producer and songwriter Will Clarke, Midnight Mass – The Remixes offers up the same songwriting quality across a wider stylistic foundation.
