Labuke makes his debut on Junior Jack’s Adesso Music imprint with a new house single, ‘Going Back’.

Labuke is a new project from up-and-coming Athens-born talent Lefteris Lameras. Channelling inspiration from the early days of Axwell, Eric Prydz and Dennis Ferrer, he unveils his punchy, club-ready house sound on Adesso Music with his new single, ‘Going Back’.

A dark and steamy cut guided by slick percussion, harsh piano stabs and an ominous vocal line, ‘Going Back’ is sure-fire to get the sweat flying on the dancefloor.

ANNĒ ‘Distill EP’

Artist: ANNĒ
Title: Distill EP
Label: Hardgroove
Cat. #: HARDGROOVEDIGI022
Format: Digital
Release Date: 16th June 2023
Tracklist:
01 Peacock Feathers
02 Roller
03 80’s Revisited
04 Distill
05 60’s Style

Hardgroove welcomes back ANNĒ for five intricate techno cuts

ANNĒ‘s second release for Ben Sims‘ legendary Hardgroove imprint arrives as the Greek artist’s star is fully in ascendance. Having chalked up releases for OutOf Place, Soma and Hardgroove sister label Symbolism in recent years, 2023 has seen her develop a hefty touring schedule across the EU and beyond.

Kicking off with the formidable groove of ‘Peacock Feathers’ with its clipped vocal sample and staccato stabs, the ‘Distill’ EP doesn’t mess about. ‘Roller’ follows as if it was a DJ’s transition, just denser and with a pleasing swagger and swing throughout. ’80’s Revisited’ keeps the pace, but musically heads in a more sinister direction before the title track emerges with anthemic intention. Closing out is ’60’s Style’, a track that shows intensity, tempo, class and melody can co-exist gracefully.

Guy Gerber announces RUMORS residency at new venue

RUMORS has always been one of Ibiza’s most cultured parties and this summer it finds a new spiritual home at Playa Soleil, the luxury oasis nestled in the heart of Platja d’en Bossa. Every Friday from 30 June until 29 September, Guy Gerber’s world-renowned party will host electronic music’s most exciting artists in a truly Balearic setting from 6pm each week.

Israeli artist Gerber has always forged his own creative path as a DJ, label owner, producer and promoter. The multi-instrumentalist has recently sold out Koko London with his live show and is also playing Hollywood Bowl this summer. He has penned countless timeless dance tracks such as “What To Do”, “Bocat” and “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”, served up genre-defining influential mixes, collaborated with Puff Daddy, and toured the world with his RUMORS concept. Now this free-thinker is bringing RUMORS back to Ibiza and will be delivering unforgettable sets every Friday at Playa Soleil, alongside a cross-section of the scene’s best DJs.

With its idyllic beachfront location, Playa Soleil is a multi-sensory experience, designed to nourish mind, body, and soul. The bohemian sanctuary draws on Ibiza’s rich history as a place of escape and liberation and invites guests to indulge in the finer things and soak up the island’s spiritual energy and natural beauty, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and Ibiza’s sun-drenched coastline.

This summer, Guy Gerber’s RUMORS offers a perfect retreat in the grown-up’s paradise at Playa Soleil. The production will be sophisticated, while the views out to the breath-taking Mediterranean sea will allow for spine-tingling moments as the sun sets and beautiful souls unite to celebrate and dance under the sun and stars.

APRAPTAMUSIC038 - Basti Grub - Whoomp

Basti Grub ‘Whoomp’

Artist: Basti Grub
Title: Whoomp
Label: Aprapta Music
Cat. #: APRAPTAMUSIC038
Format: Digital
Release Date: 16.06.2023
Tracklist:
1. Whoomp

Buy link: https://www.beatport.com/release/whoomp-basti-grub-version/4163835

Basti Grub is back on his record label Aprapta Music with a feel-good house track that pays homage to a hip hop classic.

Perfectly timed for the summer, its upbeat vocal and chunky percussion combine to create a bumping groove that will set the dance floor alight.

Based in Germany, Basti Grub is a revered producer whose eclectic style is a forward-thinking blend of genres ranging from tech house to indie dance, and he has featured music on prestigious record labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Innervisions, Diynamic and Hot Creations.

He is also a skilled DJ who has played many international shows at prestigious nightclubs and festivals in countries ranging from Australia to America, and this booty-shaking new track has been a secret weapon in his sets for quite some time.

“Whoomp” takes its title from well-known hip hop lyrics sampled within the track. Using the lyrics as a hook, Basti has worked in a backing track with a tech house drum beat and a rumbling bassline. It’s a light-hearted track that brings the heat just in time for the summer party season.

youANDme ‘Swell | Repeat’

Artist: youANDme
Title: Swell | Repeat
Label: Rotary Cocktail Recordings
Cat. #: RC051
Format: Digital, vinyl
Release Date: 09.06.2023
Tracklist:
A1 Swell | Repeat
A2 Swell | Repeat (Renato Ratier Remix)
B – Swell | Repeat (Kenny Larkin Remix)

Buy link: https://linktr.ee/rc051

After a three years hiatus the Rotary Cocktail imprint returns to the scene with a brand new record signed by youANDme. His ‘Swell | Repeat’ EP is an ode to the Evans Super Echo ES-5, a vintage analog tape delay largely used during the production stage of the title track. In the overall the temperature is warm but shares a melancholic vibe: the artist is still mulling over the infinite possibilities to combine sonorous parts such as drums, synths, effects and so on. Follows on the A side a remix by Renato Ratier that goes deep and underground; there the usage of a tiny bassline adds a minimal vibe to his revisitation, a factor that enhances the original mix sound parts. On the flip Kenny Larkin takes over the control, offering another intriguing and sensational vision of ‘Swell | Repeat’: the stems are enriched with an abundant use of delay, pattern sequences and probably a mixdown technique with limiters that increase the tension during the playback.

Malek Ales ‘Lips EP’

Artist: Malek Ales
Title: Lips EP
Label: Trapez
Cat. #: Trapez 259
Release date: 14. July 2023
Tracklist:
1. Lips
2. Lash Out
3. Lockstep

Stunning techno music by Malek Ales!

Malek Ales made a Dj mix for our TRAPEZ compilation Embark this year. So here finally comes his fourth solo EP which we think features some of the strongest trax he has written for us so far.

His Ep kicks off with the title track “Lips” and what you can except is nothing short of a panic stricken morse code lead sequence. The rush of energy never stops and the groove is as always one of the highlights in his music since done in perfection.

“Lash Out” is a cool and in a way a joyful tune, uplifting and really putting that feeling across for everyone on the dance-floor. That is repetitive exciting simplistic music on a high level! Enjoy

“Lockstep” feels like a sequenced earthquake. Pounding kicks on a loopy sequence meet cool FX and percussion sounds that have a nice acoustic quality providing a deep sounding end to it, whilst it is still energetic and non stop as ever with Malek Ales.
