As soon as Afro with a touch of deep and tribal house sounds, it’s important to keep the balance – not to overdo it with ethnicity, but also not to drown in technicality. Blond:ish and Stevie Appleton’s collab with Alex Wann’s remix is just at this junction. The track “Never Walk Alone” sounds confident: on the one hand – groove and energy, on the other – space and breath.
Four tracks – four parts. “Vse Prosto:Deep Luv” by Valera Unusov is honest techno without embellishments. Heavy, dark, sensual. EP sounds like a revelation translated into the language of bass, loops and textures.
The release opens with two dense and confident tracks – “Vse Prosto” and “Vse Tak Prosto”. This is a sub-bass manifesto. Everything is built around a humming low frequency pressure. The rhythm is linear, the groove is steady. Space is minimal, but that’s what hooks you. Tracks sound restrained, but hit the chest. They work in the mix both as an instrument and as a moment.

Progressive is alive – and judging by the new release by Adria Falco, it even feels quite confident. The Spanish producer rolled out the track “Lost In Traffic” – technical, energetic and with just the right degree of epic. Without spilling his emotions, he has gathered everything in one track: movement, atmosphere and groove.
“Let Me See You Jack” is not just a title, but an invitation to return to the roots of house. Belgian producer Nicky Notch cleverly mixes elements of tech house and old-school groove, presenting everything in a concise and dancefloor-oriented format. There’s no extra gloss here – just rhythm, sample and a clear groove, just like it was done before.
Something fresh constantly pops up in the club rotation. But not everything stays on the dancefloor longer than one run. Today we pay attention to “Terrace Collapse” by Brazilians Classmatic in collab with Crewcutz. The track was released on the wave of current minimal / tech-house, where less is more, and every movement in production has weight.
MDNTMVMT and their new track “The Twilight Zone” venture into territory where the beat gives away to TechHouse and the sound design goes deep into Techno. There is a fifth dimension… And that’s where this track lives – between light and shadow. Between fear and knowledge. And between classical rhythm and the cosmos of synthesized textures.
Today we have an interesting release in our review – Matvolution remix of “Hold on Tight” by DJ Lambda. Not quite a standard work: from the original only vocals remained, the rest is a new reading in the spirit of Melodic House & Techno. The track hooks you from the first seconds, but not due to the hype – but due to the competent structure and precise accents.
There are some tracks that don’t require explanation – they just sound at the right time. “Good Deal” by Pablo Bolivar and Celestial Sphere is just one of those. Not for the acceleration or the finale, but for those moments when the light is softer and the people are closer. The groove is warm, flowing, almost whispering.
When the original by RÜFÜS DU SOL already sets the atmosphere, the remix requires a special approach. GHEIST take “In The Moment” and don’t argue with the basis – they reveal it in their own way. In Melodic House / Deep House style, where it’s not the volume that matters, but the feeling of depth. It’s not about sudden movements. It’s about a mood that comes unnoticed but stays.
Solid groove. From the first seconds there’s a clear signal: it’s not an intro, it’s already the middle of the night. The drum is confident, the bass is just right: it presses, but doesn’t blur. It’s clear at once – the track is designed for the dance floor.
“Don’t Wait 4 Me” works within the TechHouse / Minimal genre. A lot of things in it – according to the template, but not without nuances. The structure is familiar: grime percussion, jerky vocal inserts, tense loops. However, it’s the balance between repetition and detail that makes it a working instrument in the DJ set.
