Collaborations have long since ceased to be a novelty. Nowadays, they’re just part of the workflow. And yet, when CVALM, Antâgonite, and Oktave come together in the studio, the result is worth paying attention to.

Kos:mo is gradually shifting his focus toward a broader audience. At the same time, he hasn’t abandoned his club identity. “Bring It Back” captures this transition perfectly. On the one hand, the track sounds more accessible. On the other, it retains the energy needed for the dance floor.
The tempo stays in the Tech House range. The groove is tight, and the rhythmic grid swings with the characteristic sway of the genre. Drums are clear, and the bassline runs cyclically. However, the sound leans toward Peak Time Techno. The synths are intense.

The market is oversaturated. Hundreds of tracks are released every week. But sometimes something happens that makes you put your skepticism aside and just hit play. Meet: Maxi Meraki, Mahmut Orhan, and… Vanilla Ice. Yes, you heard that right. This trio has released “Ice Ice Baby 2026.”

At first, the track relies on creating a mood. Then, it focuses on maintaining the groove. And finally, it delivers a subtle emotional touch. This is a track for the late hours. For soft lighting.

This isn’t the first time the Indian project Aatma has turned to folk music. However, in collaboration with Manuel Villar Lifac, this mix sounds particularly polished. We’re talking about the track “When I Found Myself.”
Straight to the heart of the clubber. This Tech House track is perfect for the outdoor party season. An Italian artist based in London has ridden the wave of dirty bass, and here’s the result.
A clear trend has emerged recently in the Melodic House/Progressive House scene. Artists are moving away from obvious, high-energy tracks toward a more emotional, narrative-driven sound. Ward Andrews’ “Texture” is a prime example of this new wave.
In the spotlight: the collaboration between James Hurr and Wh0. This marks their first joint release on Toolroom Records. It’s a major event. The label has long been a leader in the Tech House/House club scene.
