It seems that Baauer's album will be released in June, and this is a pre-release from that album. The collaboration features the luxurious lineup of Hudson Mohawke and PARISI. It's a track overflowing with the euphoria of UK big beat and blog house. It starts with samples of piano and old funk/disco vocals, and then it quickly transitions into a festival-ready vibe. The slightly breakbeat-like taste is also a nice touch!
David Guetta remixed Milky's 2002 hit "Just the Way You Are" with a 2026 flavor. While retaining the nostalgic melody of the original, it has been transformed into a modern EDM track. And surprisingly, it also samples the classic French house track Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You. Long-time fans are absolutely thrilled! This Milky song also has a different version by Mall Grab, doesn't it?
One track from Yuta Yamada's new EP, with whom Banana has a friendly relationship, is "Peaceful Landscape." As the title suggests, it paints a calm and expansive soundscape. From the very beginning, soft synth pads gently spread out. The cover art featuring a tractor 🚜 and a tranquil landscape is also nice. The melody line is simple yet carries a nostalgic resonance that quietly stirs the listener's heart.
"Another Night" by RUZE and Chesster is a release from Soulfuric Trax. The vocals are soulful and have a floating quality, with repeating phrases and percussion that feel great. The synth in the break is also nice. It makes you want to drink more~. Chesster is coming to Japan soon!
The collaborative EP "Find Me Out" by Dusky and Pete Cannon has been released by N4 Records. N4 Records is run by Pete Cannon and seems to focus on a variety of releases including jungle, house, and hip-hop based in London. Dusky has also been involved in breaks before, but this track leans more towards jungle and that style. In that sense, is it a track more aligned with Pete Cannon?
Anish Kumar, known for Blackbird Boulevard, has released a slightly nostalgic Disco House track. It seems he sampled the theme song of Edward from Thomas the Tank Engine, haha! You can hear the chugging sound! The bass feels great too. It might also have a bit of a Purple Disco Machine vibe.
O'Flynn, a UK producer based in London, has a unique sound that beautifully blends genres like UKG and electronica. This is a track from his upcoming album. The combination of sampled female vocals and synths is absolutely stunning! It seems he has been playing this track in his DJ sets since around 2022. The cover art is also beautiful; it was taken by photographer Dan Medhurst. I'm really looking forward to the album set to be released in July.
A good Deep Tech/Minimal release has arrived from the Croatian label/party DOBAR HOUSE's sub-label "DOBAR HOUSE GRUV." This is a track by the rising star from Australia, Miliard. The first track, The Revolution, is especially great. It has a soft synth that adheres to the manners of Deep Tech/Minimal, and I really like the slightly playful sampling.
This track is a collaboration between the Dutch producer Kara Okay and the Dutch duo Newtone. It has a 90s old-school vibe, reminiscent of house or trance. It seems like something DJ Heartstring or Sam Alfred would play. The B-side, Feel Me, is also really good! Sound Sound appears to be a label/party from Cologne, Germany. Speaking of Cologne, there's Kolter, but I wonder if he is involved with this label?
