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.

Tracklist:
Midnight

Buy link: https://www.beatport.com/release/midnight/4318289

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”.

Legend is the Cosmic Boys’ own imprint, and it’s a regular outlet for their music, but it has also signed tracks by other influential artists including the likes of T78, Torsten Kanzler, Space 92 and AKKI (DE).

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. Based in Italy, Matteo Vitanza has been turning heads with his intense sound that blends pounding drums with tension building synths. 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.

Labyrinth Open Air w. Adriatique

Next summer, Swiss house and techno duo, Adriatique, will be curating an exclusive open-air show on the grounds of the historic 17th century Tofte Manor.

On Saturday 6th July 2024, the pair will take their inimitable deep, melodic sound to the rolling Bedfordshire countryside, to unite a hand-picked selection of their favourite artists against the breath-taking backdrop of Tofte Manor and its unique labyrinth.

With releases on prestigious labels including Diynamic and Afterlife, the duo have become all too familiar with unmissable one-off events at iconic locations all over the world including Zurich, Tel Aviv, Ibiza, and New York under their ‘X’ brand, as well as their now famous ‘Cercle’ shows at the Hatsheput Temple in Egypt and on the slopes of the French Alps.

Having sold out the iconic Camden Roundhouse, next summer Adriatique will be adding their list of unique locations, taking ravers into the deepest, grooviest corners of their record box over an extended 3 hour sunset set to soundtrack what will be one of Tofte Manor’s most electrifying events yet. With the full line-up still to be revealed, Adriatique’s takeover of Tofte Manor will see thousands of ravers escaping to the countryside for this one-day experience.

Presented as an idyllic retreat just 60 miles North of London, the unique venue has hosted some of electronic music’s biggest names including Jungle, Keinemusik, Maribou State, Dixon, TSHA, Floating Points, and even the worldwide debut live set of Fred Again…

Combining the energy and atmosphere of a spiritual sanctuary, guests will have the opportunity to explore the ancient labyrinth on the grounds of the historic estate and, unburdened by the restrictive sound restrictions experienced at inner-city open-air events, immerse themselves completely in this truly unmissable experience.

July 6th will be the first of two dates for Labyrinth at Tofte Manor next summer, with Fatboy Slim’s event on 7th July already sold out in the pre-sale.
