Dave Rice & DJ AV1 — “Close To You”: pure house energy, upgraded for the dancefloor
Some artists ease into music. Dave Rice built his way in—literally. At 12, he was hunting through thrift stores just to piece together a DJ system. That kind of start leaves a mark: you don’t “try” music when you’ve had to assemble it with your own hands. From there, Dave’s story reads like a Long Beach snapshot of real West Coast culture—DJing high-school backyard parties, cutting his teeth on local events, and sharing stages with heavyweight names like Sublime and Snoop Dogg. By 19, he was already co-founding the legendary Toe Jam Night Spot, a place that became a true…
Yosán Pereda — “El tonto”: soft Latin energy, heartbreak on repeat
Yosán Pereda writes the kind of songs that don’t chase perfection—they tell the truth. Born in Cuba and based in Lanzarote for the past decade, he carries both roots and road-dust in his music: warm Latin DNA, melodies that stay close, and a direct, human way of speaking about love when it cracks. Musician, singer, songwriter, and producer, he’s lived the stage from both angles—backing others and standing alone—before diving deeper into recording and production. The result is an artist who controls emotion and sound with the same steady hand. With “El tonto,” Yosán delivers a Latin track that’s soft…
Lila Blu: when care meets sound, meditation gets its soundtrack
Some artists compose for stages, others for charts. Lila Blu composes for something far rarer: your inner space. Her world doesn’t feel like an artificial “wellness vibe” pasted onto a keyboard—it’s more like switching on a soft light when the day has been too loud. Deep breathing, meditation, yoga… with her, these aren’t buzzwords slapped on a cover. They’re lived tools—practiced, tested, and shared. Before being a relaxation composer, Lila Blu is a registered nurse specializing in oncology. In a world where you quickly learn what real fatigue means, she has seen—and felt—how calm can become a resource. That’s where…
Alfonx – I Believe In You: 90s inspired happyrave track
With I Believe In You, Alfonx delivers a techno/dance track built on vintage sonics and a very specific reference point: the 90s classics that shaped a whole generation of euphoric dance music. The artist openly cites Dune’s “Hardcore Vibes” and Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo’s “Wonderful Days” as key inspirations. https://open.spotify.com/intl-fr/artist/7k2Gr2jFmnjfs9emkjBaUB The starting spark was simple—and decisive: the main melody came to him a year ago. Once the lyrics were written, the direction became obvious. This wasn’t meant to be a cold exercise in nostalgia. It was meant to be uplifting. A 90s-inspired vision, stated by the artist Alfonx frames…
Twinsello – “Veneno”: When Love Turns Into a Mark on the Skin
With “Veneno,” Twinsello deliver a track that lives up to its title. This isn’t heartbreak as a dramatic scene—this is heartbreak as a substance. Something that seeps into you, stays in your bloodstream, and keeps speaking long after the last message was sent. Damien and Bastien, twin brothers behind the project, transform a Latin-inspired love story into a modern confession: the kind of relationship where you gave everything… and still ended up as strangers. “Veneno” as a feeling you can’t detox from The hook is brutally simple and that’s exactly why it works: “Veneno, veneno… I’ve got it in my…
Dreaming in the Night — Karl Heinz – Heimgartner & Carlito Home’s midnight anthology (2023–2025)
Some albums feel like a debut. Others feel like a résumé. “Dreaming in the Night” lands in the rare third category: a curated anthology of singles that documents an artist’s evolution and quietly opens the door to a new creative partnership. Billed as a selection of releases from 2023 to 2025, the record is also presented as the start of a new collaboration between Karl Heinz - Heimgartner and Carlito Home—two names that, put together, hint at something bigger than a one-off feature. It’s not “one sound, one lane, one mood.” It’s a timeline, and you can hear the years…
Afro House in 2026: The Global Groove Era
Afro House in 2026 isn’t a “trend” anymore. It’s a worldwide language—recognized in the first eight bars, built for long mixes, and powerful enough to work everywhere from underground rooms to open-air festival stages. What makes it special isn’t just the rhythm. It’s the feeling: a pulse that carries culture, memory, and emotion while still delivering pure dance floor momentum. This is the year Afro House fully owns its position as a main pillar of modern electronic music—without losing the organic soul that made people fall in love with it in the first place. A Short History of Afro House:…
PURe Synth Abyss: when synthwave steps out of the shadows… violin in hand
Some artists make synthwave “the old-school way.” PURe Synth Abyss does something sharper: it understands the 80s DNA, but refuses to wear it like a costume. The result is a striking blend of dark synthwave, EBM pulse, classically inspired melodies, and true underground electronic aesthetics—music that nods to neon-era memories without sounding retro, outdated, or trapped in nostalgia. What really stands out is the sense of modernity without forcing it. Yes, the synths carry that familiar glow—but the production aims for something timeless: a more current spatial image, a stronger sense of dynamic movement, and above all, storytelling that goes…
Jagas: Humanist French Rock With Poetry, Fire, and Open Borders
Some bands crank the volume to fill a room. Jagas plays to fill the space between people. Hailing from France, Jagas is a humanist rock band that blends poetry, social awareness, and global influences into a sound that refuses to sit still. Their music draws from the legacy of French songwriting—where lyrics matter and stories lead—while embracing rhythms and textures from elsewhere. Electric guitars meet percussion-driven grooves, contemporary pulses collide with traditional instruments, and the result feels like a passport stamped by emotion rather than geography. https://open.spotify.com/intl-fr/artist/4nAbDrow4N3vQoqUrSrCIk A Collective Band Spirit, Not a Solo Ego What makes Jagas stand out…
