Kristin Velvet takes a step away from the hip-house bangers that have defined much of her recent output, revealing a more elegant and nuanced side of her sound on The Traveller / Joy. On the A-side, "The Traveller" lives up to its name. Brass stabs, flashes of piano and a driving organ line unfold over a warm, propulsive groove. Rich in musical detail, it's a mesmerising modern house instrumental. On the flip, "Joy" channels a deeper, gospel-infused feeling into a contemporary house framework. Soulful chords and an insistent groove give the track its lift, balancing machine funk with warmth and emotion. Together, the two tracks reveal another dimension to Kristin Velvet's production: sophisticated, soulful and deeply connected to house music's roots.

Timeless, warm and effective house cuts from Berlin's Daniel Steinberg. 'It's a House Thing' is soulful, uplifting house with an infectious vocal hook. 'The Coup' is a jazz-influenced, piano-led instrumental with classic house strings.

Kristin Velvet returns to Arms & Legs with "We Don't Stop / Grand Prix," another heavyweight two-tracker from the Berlin-based Australian, capping off a standout year that has already seen releases on Hot Creations, Exit Strategy and Arms & Legs.

Daniel Steinberg delivers another irresistible double-header with The Power of Grace / Alright - two expertly crafted cuts that showcase his unmistakable knack for timeless, dancefloor-driven house music. "The Power of Grace," is a feel-good disco-house stepper bursting with uplifting energy. Driven by a rolling bassline, infectious brass stabs, and an irresistibly grooving rhythm, the track builds effortlessly before opening into a euphoric breakdown that's tailor-made for hands-in-the-air moments. Equal parts soulful and peak-time ready, it's a record that radiates positivity. On the flip, "Alright" takes a more stripped-back approach, built around a hypnotic, chugging groove, the track is a masterclass in classic timeless house music. Together, these two cuts showcase Daniel Steinberg's instinct for creating records with lasting appeal. One delivers pure uplift, the other rolling hypnosis, but both are united by an unwavering commitment to quality, groove and musicality.

2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for Kristin Velvet. With recent and upcoming EPs on Exit Strategy and Hot Creations, momentum is firmly on her side. Yet even as new horizons open, Kristin remains deeply connected to Arms & Legs - the label she's called home and carefully built alongside Daniel Steinberg for the past 15 years. La Cosmic leads the release with an 80s-inspired, instrumental drive: shimmering synth lines, forward motion, and a sense of cosmic nostalgia tailored for late-night dancefloors. Sleek, confident, and effortlessly hypnotic, it locks into a timeless yet forward-facing groove. On the flip, Supersonic dives into avant-garde, sci-fi-tinged electro madness. Powerful, crisp beats collide with atmospheric synths, wonky basslines, and a raw futuristic edge - a track that feels both experimental and explosively functional. Together, La Cosmic / Supersonic captures Kristin Velvet at a creative peak: rooted, fearless, and unmistakably forward-thinking.
