John Digweed - Live At Twilo
Album John Digweed

John Digweed - Live At Twilo

The legendary John Digweed, founder of Bedrock and a pivotal figure in the Progressive House scene, has released a compilation of his 5-hour Live Mix from the one-time-only Twilo revival event (Danny Tenaglia's birthday party) held in March 2026. The limited edition CDs and vinyl sold out in just 10 days, and this download compilation offers an incredible deal with over 30 tracks played by John and 4 DJ mixes for just $17. The tracks played that day feature a timeless selection combining both new and old John Digweed favorites, particularly in the tribal house genre, which includes rare sounds that are now hard to find! For my generation, who have been following along, this is a precious collection, but for those who experienced John Digweed's DJ sets in the 90s or were part of the Twilo scene, it could evoke an extraordinary sense of nostalgia.

Sin Control
EP Ezequiel Arias

Sin Control

Anjunadeep's new track "Sin Control" by top seller Ezequiel Arias in the Progressive House scene is set for release at the end of June 2026. Shifting from the electric and psychedelic style that made his previous work "Psychodelia" a big hit, this new track features an overall emotional and melodic sound reminiscent of the daydreaming vibes of early Border Community artists like James Holden and Nathan Fake. Ezequiel Arias will make his first appearance in Japan with performances at Osaka JOULE on July 24, 2026, and Tokyo R LOUNGE on July 25, 2026. Anjunadeep fans, don't miss out!!

Delta
EP Danny In Space, Nick Stoynoff

Delta

An EP by the powerful duo of Chicago-based progressive house producer Nick Stoynoff and Danny In Space (a.k.a. Danny Oliveira), known for his work with DNYO, has been released by the prestigious label Plastic Fantastic. The EP features two tracks: "Delta," which has a heavy groove and cosmic breaks reminiscent of the golden era of the 2000s scene, and "Vista," which is more trancey and euphoric. Personally, I highly recommend "Delta," which is undoubtedly a must-have for fans of John Digweed and Nick Warren.

memories (Nordfold Remix)
Single Cinnamon Chasers

memories (Nordfold Remix)

Cinnamon Chasers, the son of Dave Davies from the legendary UK rock band The Kinks, gained significant attention with the retro-futuristic world and provocative music video of "Luv Deluxe," released in 2010. Due to the strong love call from James Grant (who was playing the original track on the radio and at parties at the time), the remix of "Luv Deluxe" by Jody Wisternoff & James Grant was included in Anjunadeep 08 in 2016, showcasing a style that pairs well with Progressive House. In the remix of Cinnamon Chasers' new track "Memories," Nordfold, who is currently gaining attention on Anjunadeep, has participated. He has reconstructed it as an intensely emotional Melodic House while preserving the essence of the original. This kind of track makes you want to listen to it during the early morning or at sunset!

11 Hours
EP Dominion

11 Hours

Lost Language, a prestigious name in UK Progressive Trance / Progressive House that has been active since 2000, is celebrating its 200th single release with a special offering. The milestone 200th release is a revival of the hit track "11 Hours" from the renowned label Whoop! Records, which produced many hits during the early days of the Progressive scene from the mid-90s to around 2000. The dark and emotional remix by Italy's Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio, who are active in the modern Progressive House scene, is currently being enthusiastically played by Sasha & Digweed. The remix by UK producer James Harcourt, praised by Hernan Cattaneo and Dave Seaman, features a powerful groove-focused sound reminiscent of the early 2000s. Both remixes are excellent floor-friendly tracks that evoke memories of the former Progressive house movement.

Futuro Infinito - EP
EP Artic White

Futuro Infinito - EP

Nick Warren has been playing the new track "Futuro Infinito" by Artic White, which has been highly praised by Jody Wisternoff of Way Out West, as an ID track towards the end of his sets for the past six months. This track has been released by The Soundgarden. With its grand break and repeating melody, it is incredibly beautiful and undoubtedly shines during emotional moments like dawn and sunset, making it a perfect fit for Organic House. Artic White achieved two number one singles in the Organic House category in 2025. He will be visiting Japan for performances at the end of January and February 2026, playing in Osaka and Tokyo. He has expressed his fondness for Japan, mentioning that he has even lived here before, so we eagerly await his return as his popularity continues to grow.

Keep Up
Single ATRIP, DJ BORING

Keep Up

With a wide range of productions from UK Garage to tracks leaning towards Techno and Deep Trance, ATRIP has taken the scene by storm with their highly individualistic style. Recently, their music was featured in the official compilation curated by DJ Tennis for Fabric, marking them as a standout in the current generation of the dance scene. DJ BORING, who has garnered strong support in the Indie Dance and Electronica line with releases from Running Back and Anjunadeep (I personally think Catching Files - GLY (DJ BORING's Sunrise Mix) is a masterpiece, so I hope you listen to it as well), has teamed up for a powerful collaboration. This track features a direct 90's sound with voice sampling and an emotional sound that can be considered a minor change version of ATRIP's representative work for 2025, "HERZSCHLAG." It's an addictive song. With a BPM of 135, it seems suitable for both slower and faster sets, which is great for DJs. ATRIP is set to perform in Osaka on June 4 and at CIRCUS in Tokyo on June 5. You will likely be able to hear this track live!!

Ageha
EP Jaytech

Ageha

Australian music producer Jaytech, praised by legends from both Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep as well as Above & Beyond, has released a new track titled "Ageha" from his label Positronic Digital. The title is derived from the now-closed club ageHa in Shin-Kiba. Below is a quote from Jaytech's introduction to the track. "Tokyo's ageHa was the first club I played in Japan. Instead of a regular DJ set, they asked me to perform my own tracks live, so I did. It was a wonderful venue and a wonderful memory ❤️" I also attended the party at ageHa that day (September 2007), and I remember it as an incredible live set filled with the positive energy characteristic of Jaytech, featuring tracks like "Spacelift," which was still unreleased at the time, along with new songs from Anjunadeep. The new track "Ageha" is a powerful Progressive Trance that seems poised to shine in a large venue with high ceilings, exactly the kind of sound I wanted to hear at ageHa.

Waste To You
EP Souki Yamashita

Waste To You

Souki Yamashita, who serves as A&R for Housetribe Deep and has been producing Melodic House / Melodic Techno tracks in recent years, has released a new song titled "Waste To You." This track is released under BigToys Production, the second brand of the renowned label Freegrant Music by Max Freegrant. The song features the characteristic grand breaks and dramatic melody lines typical of the Melodic genre.

Phenomena
EP Shingo Nakamura

Phenomena

The track "Phenomena," released as a lead single from the 3rd album "Glow" in 2021, is a defining song for Shingo Nakamura, who chose it for his EDC debut in 2026. After playing this song, a strong wind interrupted the performance on stage, and I was unable to hear the continuation of the set. However, he later posted, "I thought this might be the last song, so I chose my favorite. I am grateful to have shared this song with everyone 🙏," making it a special song and moment for both Shingo Nakamura and his fans. "Phenomena" was later included in the Glow (The Remixes) EP, which features a remix by Julian Gray, a label mate from Monstercat and Colorize, who performed in Japan at the end of 2024 during Analog Journey. This remix is also a beautifully deep house rendition.
