#50 Feat. Banner in Indie Dance

One year after the release of his 18.04 EP, dedicated to the birth of his son, Spanish producer and Sincopat label head AFFKT is back with a brand new Pets adventure - The Pursuit Special EP. Having already dropped fresh releases on labels such as Global Underground, Polaris, and Stil vor Talent in 2024, AFFKT now presents a three-track powerhouse, kicking off with Bartertown, a track that sets the tone with a growling bassline, pulsating synths, and a cinematic sci-fi melody that brings a hard-hitting groove straight to the dancefloor. Krat, a seamless continuation of the cosmic cowboy adventure, with its mysterious melodies from a dystopian wasteland and a relentless tempo, pushes the boundaries of AFFKTs distinctive sound. The EP closes with Ga, a masterful fusion of sirens, bubbling sounds, cascading effects, and inventive off-beat rhythms-rounding off The Pursuit Special EP as an exciting and futuristic musical adventure. Where will AFFKTs ever-evolving sound take us to next?

#91 Feat. Banner in Tech House

Theus Mago last took listeners on a nocturnal ride with his Terremoto Valley Express, and now the Mexican producer is back-this time teaming up with close friend and regular studio partner Dominik Marz for their new Bajo Bajo EP. Having already made waves with releases on Duskys 17 Steps and Theus own Duro label, the duo maintain their pace by cooking up some Instant Dog. A track packed with bounding toms, a hypnotic melody, fierce 909s, and a relentless build that makes it impossible to ignore. More acid licks on the flip with the title track, Bajo Bajo. The originals bubbling rhythm gives way to the heads-down energy of Ketiovs remix, as he ditches the disco for a piano-pierced thumping house groove.
