There are moments on the dancefloor when everything aligns - the sunlight, the smiles, the shared breath between beats. Ritual Girl captures that feeling: mellow, progressive, and deeply alive. Its the sound of connection, of joy that doesnt demand perfection, only presence. Each pulse, each note, draws you deeper into that timeless, hypnotic groove where being here, together, is all thats needed. Atmos and Born Sleepy weave their signature progressive psy flow into an emotional landscape that celebrates connection, simplicity, and the sacred rhythm of life. This is not just music - its a ceremony of being.
Were off to Leeds for LOST197 where JESH makes his EL-EL debut with the 21st-century-deep-trancer AFTERGLOW. Beautifully crafted, with a nod to the late 90s / early 00s big room prog of Mark Shimmon, Miller & Floyd, Christian West et al - its an exercise in build and restraint, with a melodic martian sunset payoff in the widescreen sci-fi breakdown. SUNDA, last seen on the label with his gorgeous remix of Q00Bs Suns Horses, has continued to build a reputation for producing deep soulful melodic trance. His remix here is no exception - a classy rework, that dials up the trance whilst preserving the progressive nature of the original. HALCYON is a name to watch, and weve got a stunning original of his on the way very soon, but here he twists Afterglow into a new breed techno / trance crossover, that draws heavily on the likes of LSG / Oliver Lieb. Hard and beautiful in all the right places. We love a strong bonus track here at LL towers, so rounding things off we have another JESH original: MY MIND - pushing his sound deeper into analogue-driven Techno territory.
Project Alpha debuts on Tunes Of Light with The Journey. A tribute to classic German Hard Trance. Alongside the Club and Rave Mixes, remixes from Simox, zwyrg, and DECO 5000 expand the sonic palette. From raw reverse basslines to dreamy, emotional takes, this release captures the essence of 90s-inspired Trance.
Two compelling female producers come together for a powerful sonic invocation on Aura Divina - a progressive psytrance journey infused with elegance and depth. Giorgia Angiuli and Tao Andra shape a fluid, driving groove built on an uplifting bassline, guiding the listener with an ethereal vocal chant that threads through the track, adding a subtle yet powerful sense of spirit and atmosphere. Balancing energy and finesse, Aura Divina blends progressive psy, melodic trance, and touches of techno into a piece that feels both uplifting and timeless — a graceful statement of unity, creativity, and sound. Veni Sancti Spiritus.
After a very successful debut VA earlier this year supported internationally by Job Jobse, Roza Terenzi, Anz, and Gearmaster Flip The Lid returns with its second release: Rolly Bump Vol 2; an expansive VA compilation that dives deeper into the progressive underground. Where the first release focused tightly on progressive house and trance, FTL002 embraces a broader sonic spectrum tracing a line from groove-heavy house through to high-energy progressive trance, even venturing into goa and psy-inspired territory The result is a boundary-stretching, club-ready collection that still holds true to the labels deep, proggy core. Featuring contributions from both established underground names and rising talent across the globe, this compilation reflects the labels growing global network and its continued focus on genre-pushing, artist-led music. Tracklist: 1. Aika Mal Obsession 2. Teetee Impress Me 3. Elfenberg Bansuri Bang 4. Charlie Tennger Take Me Away 5. Stones Taro Baby Ghost 6. Glen S We Are Going Clinically Insane 7. Aphid Twerp 8.

Hamburg based Bizzarro Universe are a duo who have conjured the cosmos into releases on Bordello a Parigi, Discotexas, Nein Records and Mélopée Records. Planetary Groove was their debut EP for Exploited Club; a nod to the 90s that is now taken in 2 fresh directions by Herr Krank and auspicious producer AUTOFLOWER. First up is Helios label head Herr Krank who braids Trance, Acid and Italo into a dizzying revision that does a fine job of channeling 90s euphoria whilst delivering something very fresh indeed. Shuttering synths and a vibrant acid line tag in and out while a serrated bass line gives the low end a stylish bite. Drums are quick and boisterous and the energy effervescent as the track powers on like a current of energy: fast paced and coursing forth with irresistible kinetic momentum. Nijmegen based AUTOFLOWER then steps in, keeping hold of the euphoric torch across a powerful take that marches with a purposeful intensity. Drums are potent and crunchy, churning away under an electrifying synth lead that gradually opens up before a double drop that will send the floor into giddy rapture, capping off 2 different but equally effective remixes.
Fancy some paranormal rhythms all the way from Chicago? Check these killer tunes from party starters HOTPRETTY. Serving up four dark and devilish cuts, that tap into the darker shades of progressive trance...these anthems will be played at all the haunted house clubs.
AUTOFLOWER makes his debut on Exit-Scam Records with a high-energy house track crafted for the dancefloor. With a steady, groovy bassline, this track is all about raw energy and moving bodies. Pure, dancefloor-ready vibes that get straight to the point.
Bristols Super-Frog Saves Tokyo returns with Beams, a bold second album channelling the spirit of the 90s dance scene through the lens of modern production. Set for release via Electronic Architecture, Beams is a 8-track journey of melody, movement, and memory — equally at home on dancefloors as it is an immersive home listen. Influenced by the golden era of electronica, Beams blends punchy rhythms, and club-ready grooves with lush analog synths, melodic hooks, and an emotional undercurrent. Its a record shaped by nostalgia but never trapped by it — fusing old-school inspiration with forward-thinking sound design. Its an album borne of a singular vision, says David Harrison, the artist behind Super-Frog Saves Tokyo. Each track stands proudly on its own, but they also connect - theyre built to work together as a whole piece. Its music that straddles genres from Balearic trance to ear-splitting techno, via ambient soundscapes, but at all times remaining anchored with memorable hooks and melodies. Opening track Drench eases listeners in with Vangelis-like strings and distant, distorted piano washes, building momentum before collapsing into warped percussion and Harrisons most obnoxious bassline to date. A skipping beat and Second Toughest-era Underworld-style arpeggios lift this unpredictable opener to an unexpectedly euphoric climax. Scream follows with a crunchy analog bassline that hums and swells beneath a genre-bending blend of glitchy builds, disco claps, and screeching techno percussion. The gorgeous Mondrago offers a Balearic respite - emotive pads and strings build into melodic Arps and a swirl of harmony that hints at something darker beneath the surface. First single Clarion jolts the tempo back up with nine minutes of pulsing trance, before giving way to Ascend - a sparse ambient interlude where a simple motif dissolves into a drift of reverberating echoes. Minds is a highlight among highlights; all stop-start structure, burbling acid, filtered pads, and a build that summons the spirit of 90s techno euphoria. Insidious dives into abrasive, glitch-heavy territory - all saturated Reese bass and distorted percussion ricocheting across the stereo field, relentless to the end. Closing track Lumière wears its Italo-disco influence proudly, pairing a lovely piano riff with a shimmering Balearic groove — a gorgeous, sun-kissed finale. Whether youre drawn to the sweaty intimacy of the club or the reflective space of solo listening, Beams offers a sound that resonates — warm, sharp-edged, and full of personality. Available on all major digital streaming platforms.
Swiftly following his recent remix for TasteXperiences Frustration, our favourite DJ / producer / author / entrepreneur Obie is back with the 136bpm Naked. Boasting a very sexy and in-vogue DX7 Lately Bass line, filtered stabs, groovy percussion and subtle hook, this is one for modern trance floors.
Our dear artist Darkskye delivered a fresh and, yet again, fantastic, trippy EP with two original tracks: A Deeper Consciousness and the title track, Otherworldly. Darkskye is the alter ego of an artist who lives and breathes the darker side of electronic music. Rising from the remnants of Trance and ignited by the flames of Techno, Darkskye has carved a unique space for himself in the underground music scene. His sound is a fusion of eerie soundscapes, hypnotic melodies, deep, dark basslines, and hauntingly melancholic vocals. Darkskyes mission is clear: to produce and promote music that strays far from the commercialized, mainstream formula. Thats why Deepersense Music always welcomes the work of this great artist with open arms. Its the same this time. On the new EP you can also hear an additional reinterpretation of the track A Deeper Consciousness from label head honcho CJ Art.
They say Basil OGlue once walked into a studio with nothing but unnecessary attitude. Three days later, pray tell, the walls were vibrating, the coffee machine was in tears, and two tracks had appeared out of thin air. Scientists called it impossible. We called it a release!

From the windswept coasts of Tasmania comes Narels most ambitious and personal work to date, a ten-track journey that blurs genre lines while painting vivid terrains. Since his 2020 album Diary of a Synthy Kid, Nick Simmons has sharpened his craft, deepened his sound design, and, with complete artistic freedom from the label, created an album that feels as intimate as it is expansive. Opening with the warm, unhurried glow of Helion, Narel sets a welcoming tone. Its a Deep Trance record that instantly transports you to a late summer afternoon. Particular Parallels immerses itself in Dub Techno territory, pulsing with hypnotic chords and an atmosphere you can almost reach out and touch. Interlocutor slows the heartbeat with lush Electronica textures, before Deep Time Excursions drifts entirely off-world in a cosmic Ambient haze. His chart-topping single Tired Mountain Syndrome returns here, its Hypnotic Trance grooves feeling even more potent in the albums context. The ethereal Aura Collapse expands the horizon further, a slow-motion explosion of spacey ambience and breathtaking soundscapes. Then comes the playful nod to Bodzin with The Ravers Have Left the Town — a melodic house cut that shimmers with bittersweet nostalgia. Ephemerides stretches time with over ten minutes of Atmospheric Progressive Breaks, channeling the spirit of Airwave and Sasha in a slow-burning masterpiece. For the Ambient purists, Forgotten with the Other Waters is a 19-minute epic, deep, evolving journey rich with field recordings and well thought out sound layers, calling to mind the immersive worlds of Carbon Based Lifeforms and Dreamstate Logic. The album closes with Annica, a powerful Raw Trance tribute to his friend Matt, where driving rhythms carry both grief and pleasant memories in equal measure. Narels new album is more than a collection of tracks. Its a full-bodied expedition through memory, loss, joy, and the vast spaces in between. From sunlit shores to the deep reaches of the cosmos, every piece is crafted with the precision of a producer at the peak of his powers. Unmissable.
It started with a strange email. Subject: Theyre ready. No text, just two attachments and a suspiciously clean signature: –Exotek. We played the tracks. Lights flickered. Someone spoke Latin by accident. Antiqua Magica summoned the vibe, Revelation kicked down the door with it. We tried replying. The message bounced. Classic Exotek. Disclaimer: Any resemblance to actual events, persons, or mysterious emails is purely fictional. No Latin speakers were harmed in the making of this release.

Ukrainian deep trance hero OTTO K returns with his third EP on EL-EL, delivering two slabs of underground, forest-tinged prog, both packed with psychedelic tension and widescreen detail. Portugal 99 leads the charge with eerie top-line melodies and sharp percussion, carving out a cinematic space between progressive trance and forest psychedelia, receiving early support from Standard Form and Mr Wright on their acclaimed Sunset Sessions 2024 mix. On the flip, Isolated Island ups the energy with a driving, percussive groove, mixing brooding atmospheres with melodic restraint- a heads down tool built for long, late hours. First up on remix duties is Jake Grace, whos Meteor Shower was a much loved cut on 2024s Plymouth Brethren EP (LOST191) - and hes back here with a peak-time take on Portugal 99, stretching out the central riff into an expansive, big-room moment. Lawn Jarre, an exciting young talent from China, completes the package with 2 versions of Isolated Island. The first is a deep, hypnotic interpretation soaked in mid-90s post Goa / pre World Tour 99 era Oakey textures (think Ecano, Dream Traveller, Pink Bomb ) while a sharper, club focused mix rounds things off, dialling up the intensity whilst maintaining the hypnosis.
An Athenian, a Corfiot, and a Pontian enter a record label. The Athenian says, Lets get serious. We need a cover and the masters. The Corfiot says, Give me 10. A month passed, and the Pontian says, Did he mean 10 months? The Corfiot was impressed by The Pontians work! Those tracks are fire! he said, We need a cover that is fire too... or water... but water extinguishes fire. NO! Fire it is! No, its not some kind of joke, this is what happened. Disclaimer: The Pontian never rushed anybody, hes a cool and talented dude!

he first single EP of the year, signed by goldmund.99 and LUCKY4U, the two minds behind Speedgasm, a DIY-oriented series rooted in Berlins emerging trance scene. This release doesnt aim to define a genre but to reflect a shared attitude: fast, emotional, raw, shaped by years of playing and experimenting across the more fluid, hybrid corners of trance, free tekno and sub-genres. Goldmund.99 leans into narrative-driven structures and psychedelic textures, while LUCKY4U brings a sharp sense of contrast and physicality, forming a dynamic interplay of perspectives across the EP. The sound here is deliberately broad, moving between euphoric build-ups and stripped-down, shadow psy and tribal pressure.
Out next in Iono Music is Philosophy – the new two-track single from the legendary Ovnimoon! The title track Philosophy is a deep dive into the realms of consciousness — a psychedelic journey filled with thoughtful melodies, driving grooves, and hypnotic textures. It invites the listener to reflect, expand their perception, and connect with the deeper questions of existence while surrendering to the dancefloor flow. Accompanying it is Dreamer, a mystical and uplifting sonic voyage that captures the spirit of those who dare to dream. With soaring synths, intricate basslines, and a radiant energy, this track ignites the imagination and elevates the soul, transporting you to higher dimensions.
Guild Navigators – Glass Circuit EP Emerging from the shadows of the north, Guild Navigator delivers a moody and magnetic debut. This four-track release is a refined excursion into deep, textural sound. Trance at its core, but laced with the tension and control of techno. Each track unfolds with other-worldly drones, intricate percussion, and shifting patterns that stretch and bend the 4/4 pulse. Its cerebral but visceral, cold yet glowing. A confident first transmission from an artist tuned to the outer frequencies. Built to linger in the body and the mind.
Just in time for the festival season we have the second EP of Atlas on Navigare Audio where he continues to further cultivate his distinctive transcendental progressive technoid sound – suitable for the bigger sound systems. Each track unfolding like a ritual in motion—dense, yet strangely lucid and atmospheric. To complete the journey, weve invited our good friend and label family member Solarythm to bring his unique vision of the title track Gaian Dreams. Here he delivers a remix that expands the original into new interesting territory.
Manuel Sabbion aka Terminal Sync was born in Padova in 1985. His passion for the electronic and techno music has already begun in the 1999 as he started listening some techno musicassetes of various old clubs in Padova. He has spent many years listening a lot of dj sets for hours and hours (mostly techno and electro). Finally, in 2005 he begins to collect some techno and electronic vinilys and, a few years later, he buys his first turntables and discovers the deep and warm sound of the vinyls. In the first years he starts to learn by himself the art of the djing and in October of 2006 he founds a crew called Thursdaysdeep with other 2 friends (Status Und,Alan Backdrop). During these years of Thursdaysdeep he has maturated technique and experience and develops his own personal taste for experimental sound. With deep passion for music he discovers other types of music genres, as ambient and dub music, and then he finds the way in which music can create such different situations, for instance the intimate atmosphere of an after hour. All this teaches him how to express sensations and emotions to the flow through music and it also makes him mature enough to start playing with the crew in some private parties and clubs in Padova. In 2009 he approaches to the motion graphic world and starts to make some promo videos for the Thursdaysdeep and for various different parties.In the same year, he opens a channel in Vimeo, in which he posts his videos. With this new passion he tries to find a meeting point between music and the animation graphic to recreate a dreamlike space.

Jordan Gill delivers his signature blend of deep, brooding energy and hypnotic tension with Treason, his debut on Forescape Digital. Staying true to the progressive sound palette that defined his latest outings on Vandit Alternative label, Jordan sculpts a journey through shadowy atmospheres, pulsating basslines, and subtly evolving layers that build with surgical precision. Premiered by the man himself during a standout set in Ibiza last year, Treason sparked powerful crowd reactions and set the tone for a bold new chapter in Jordans discography. Dark, driving, and meticulously crafted, this is peak-time progressive that refuses to compromise — an uncompromising statement from one of the scenes most quietly impactful artists.

Treasure Island unveils the Visione EP on Manual Smiles, landing this May alongside a remix from Bliss Inc.Sitting somewhere between Balearica and Trance, Treasure Island works the filters on his machines to infuse organic rhythm with plenty of acid charm. At times, the Visione EP explores slow, low-slung drums, elsewhere bringing high, euphoric energy to the dancefloor through its rapturous synthlines. Magicwire and Radiant Records artist Bliss Inc. remixes Paradise Sami, reworking the track with a deep, heads-down bass and futuristic space age sound, rounding o a package of adventurous, lose-your-mind dance tracks. Hailing from the Italian Abruzzo region, Treasure Island is part of a wave of artists pushing Trance-A-Lento, a genre focused on slowing down tempos to induce a trance-like state, alongside acts like Oltrefuturo, with whom he has the psychedelic, ambient-leaning Future Island alias. Having started his musical journey two years ago following ten years of DJing, Treasure Island has left his mark, already appearing on labels like Multi Culti, Warning, Epicure Records and Tartelet. Founded in 2023 by Brussels-via-London artist Enno (n_o), Manual Smiles has quickly become a home for tripped-out cuts across various underground genres. The label has featured music from artists such as Azo, REES, Nickon Faith, Command Control, and Kajsa Villius and has won support from Roman Flugel, Carista, Spray, Kiara Scuro, HAAi, and many more.
There would be no EXHIBITION : RAW, at least not as we know it, without the spectral presence of DAVE MOTH, a name that threads itself, unassumingly yet insistently, throughout the architecture of BEN LOSTs award-winning compilation. But, as with all hauntings, the origins are displaced, nonlinear. The beginning, if such a term can even be applied, goes back to 2020; a year already thick with collapse and strange opportunity. It was MOTH who introduced LOST to Archie - who together were operating under the brief, brutish banner of HARDBODY - with Archie simultaneously farming hard trance pastures that would soon go on to bloom under the alias CLAIRES ACCESSORIES. And for LOST, it was CAs 2021 remix of Venus by FEDERATION that signalled a shift towards a tough, speed-drenched sound that circled back to what initially excited him about trance in the wild 1990s. But DAVE MOTH was never simply a producer. He emerged from the art-damaged debris of the early 2000s, co-founder of THE FILTHIEST PEOPLE ALIVE alongside GAVIN IT, a project less musical act than acid-drenched détournement, somewhere between DIVINE and SIGUE SIGUE SPUTNIK. From there, Peterboroughs hardcore scene swallowed him whole, going on to tour Europe with the old school / communal HHH on lead guitar. The early 2010s offered another shift / reconnection. MOTH reunited with LOST, alongside SOLARSTONE, joining aforementioned trance romos FEDERATION on guitar, just in time to cowrite and perform on their debut album F, a record saturated with the residue of rave utopias and post-punk entropy. Parallel to this, MOTH straddled space / acid / hard rock projects in RIDDLES, MAGIC MOSS, and MARSHES - the latter fronted by LOST - before taking a 180 4/4 turn in 2024 to collaborate as SIDE WOUND, whose Leftfield and Lydon after a handful of mitzis debut Tremor Dollar (with Paul McGregor of ULTERIOR) sounded like a late capitalist death disco in an abandoned Meadowhall shopping centre. Now, RACKET SPORTS (LOST194) marks DAVE MOTHs solo debut on LOST LANGUAGE: full throttle, high-speed drama, foot to the floor at 154. Haunted wails under steel city kicks and warehouse clangs, channelling the gated spirit of REACTIVATE-era chaos. Its the kind of gear LARRY THE LOBSTER mightve smuggled up his CERVICAL GROOVE in a warehouse circa 1996. FACTORIA, whose DARKSKYE remix was pitched up into the Gods by LOST on his latest EXHIBITION comp, returns with a technicolour remix that finds that sweet spot between peak-time euphoria and undercurrent tension - FSOE via AA Meeting, if you like. While Norwegian talent AFGANG, whose original RACKET SPORTS remix helped set the tone on EX: RAW, brings a club-ready dreamy donk twist alongside a darker, swampier Forest Flip version. Rounding off the package is another DAVE MOTH original CRYSTAL DAWN. A riff-heavy hard trance trip, filled with PSY-FI FX, unhinged fills, and dangerous / playful drops, a record that points backwards and forwards all at once, into raves unresolved future. Mrak E Fischer (T-Punk 25)
Plutonian is a sonic exploration of transformation, intensity, and rebirth—core themes ruled by Pluto, the celestial force that governs Scorpio. The EP embodies a deep personal evolution, reflecting the profound changes that have shaped MIINNAA over the past five years. Her Scorpio fiancé played a pivotal role in this journey, challenging her to break old patterns and embrace continuous growth and learning, much like Plutos relentless cycle of destruction and renewal.

Chaos is the soundtrack of a mind unraveling and restructuring psychedelic journey through sound, where the raw energy and the hypnotic pulse of techno meet the euphoria of trance. This album is more than just music, it reflects the chaos that shapes me, the creative disorder that leads to transformation. Over the past two years, Ive poured everything into crafting these sound-layering textures, bending time, and finding a balance between structure and spontaneity. Its a sonic journey that shifts between deep, meditative grooves and explosive dancefloor energy, reflecting the tension between chaos and control. -sounds from the past, echoes of the future- Artwork: Payta Easton, @payta_ Mix & Master: Tomer Levy & Shai Lavi Sound Advisor: Yuval Miller
