Betelgeize is an organic house artist who’s known for sun-drenched tracks with enchanting melodies, and his new release is a stunning seven-track album.

A daydreamer whose imaginative music has trippy elements that transport the listener to picturesque locations washed in warm sunlight, Betelgeize is a storyteller who uses music to captivate both mind and body. His tracks have dance floor friendly grooves with earthy percussion and immersive atmospherics that mesmerise the listener.

This release comes via Betelgeize’s own record label It’s Good To Be A Tree, but he has also featured tracks and remixes on other respected imprints including the likes of Exotic Refreshment LTD, Serafin Audio Imprint and Leveldva.

As a musical project, Betelgeize was born on Burning Man and his passion for experimentation constantly forces him to explore new things. This album was inspired by theatre and fairy tales. In essence, it is part of a fairy tale that connects all the tracks with a storyline.

“Capítulo I” opens the release with an Afro house track that has strong percussion and a downtempo groove with African vocals from IKVA that draw the listener in with their emotive tones. The composition is about the calm and measured life of the Luminous Falcon and his small tribe. In “Capítulo II”, a local shaman shares an ominous premonition of a mysterious black creature. The track sets the mood with its ceremonial vibe and mystical mood that leads the listener into an enchanted world full of splendour.

“Capítulo III” then picks up the pace as a Black Dragon arrives to play a devious trick on the tribe and kidnap the Luminous Falcon. “Capítulo IV” starts with a soothing mood but builds with dramatic tension, as the tribe becomes aware of the dragon’s deceit. But the Luminous Falcon connects with his deepest sense of light and vows to escape from the dragon.

“Capítulo V” reintroduces the Afro house vibe with revitalising energy that is full of energising percussion and compelling vocals, which signifies The Luminous Falcon making an attempt to escape from the Black Dragon. “Capítulo IV” starts with a soothing mood but builds with dramatic tension. Here Luminous Falcon connects with his deepest sense of light and vows to escape from the dragon.

“Capítulo VII” closes out the release with an upbeat vibe and downbeat groove, which symbolize the victory of harmony and goodness. The Luminous Falcon has been reunited with the tribe and amicably build their new life. This track also features the vocals of IKVA who rounds off the release with her joyous vocal tones.

Cosmic Boys are back on their record label Legend with a pounding new techno single that’s been made in collaboration with Matteo Vitanza.

Based in France, Cosmic Boys are a techno duo known for their fusion of thundering percussion and awe-inspiring synth lines. Their dark and driving style has been released on prestigious record labels ranging from Adam Beyer’s Drumcode to Monika Kruse’s Terminal M. They have also done official remixes of iconic tracks such as Energy 52’s “Cafe Del Mar”.

Matteo Vitanza is an artist who has previously released solo music via Legend, but this time he returns with a track made in collaboration with the Cosmic Boys.

He has also collaborated on music with the likes of UMEK and released tracks on other labels including Ramon Tapia’s Say What?, Spartaque’s Codex Recordings and Spektre’s Respekt Recordings.

“Midnight” is the solo track on this release, and after a suspense building breakdown with broken rhythms and dystopian atmospherics, it launches into the main groove with a 4/4 kick drum pattern. Its pulsating bassline and ethereal vocals are joined by sparse acid stabs, as it builds towards the spine-tingling tranquillity of the breakdown, before the brutal percussion slams back in to lift the track up a gear.
