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.

Songs You Might Remember From Some Parties v3
EP YOTTO

Songs You Might Remember From Some Parties v3

Finland's popular DJ/producer Yotto, who leads the Melodic House scene, has released a popular EP series titled "Songs You Might Remember From Some Parties," featuring tracks made for parties. V1 was released in 2021, V2 in 2024, and the latest installment, V3, was released in April 2026 on Yotto's label, odd one out. The EP includes "Status," a Progressive Breaks track with a captivating soundscape reminiscent of snowy fields; "Come Back Baby," a sound that can be seen as a legitimate evolution of Yotto's works from his Anjunadeep era; "Final Call," which features an electric bass and a hands-up break that is sure to delight Melodic fans; and "Aero," which, while differing in direction, is guaranteed to resonate with fans of Eric Prydz and Jeremy Olander. This EP showcases four powerful tracks that unmistakably embody Yotto's style.

Enter The Dance
Single CLOSE PROXIMITY

Enter The Dance

The London-based duo Frank Brady and Demack's project Close Proximity primarily features a unique sound that fuses trance, progressive house, and techno, making them a significant presence in the Balearic sound of this generation. The two debuted at the end of 2024 and have achieved numerous releases in their year and a half of activity. The track "Enter The Dance" is included in the "Balearic Sunrise EP" released by Notte Eterna. It is a RAW style trance at BPM 133, categorized as Deep Trance, but it also incorporates elements reminiscent of the 90s rave scene, such as punchy pianos and the hard grooves found in German techno. This can be seen as a reboot of the sounds from the 90s to early 2000s, which are gaining renewed attention in the 2020s, overflowing with charm that goes beyond the category of trance.
