Pushing a certified, ten-year-old trance classic into the melodic house realm, American DJ and producer Enamour reshapes ARTY, Nadia Ali and BT’sMust Be The Love‘ into an atmospheric, club-tailored masterpiece. Supporting the authentic vocal presence with hypnotic grooves, swirling synth pads and a plucked melody that guides listeners upward, this incredible rework will surely end up on many a fan’s shortlist.

Yotto – ‘Erased Dreams’

Erased Dreams‘ is the first full-length, low-tempo project from Yotto. The Helsinki-based artist is well-known for his thunderous DJ sets and deep, bass-heavy house productions, but with ‘Erased Dreams’, reveals another side to himself. 

Above & Beyond – ‘Screwdriver (Jono’s Summer of 1995 Mix)’

“It’s fair to say most Above & Beyond recordings exist in different forms before they finally reach the stage, as ambient beds, acoustic sessions or early groove sketches. ‘Screwdriver‘ always made a statement in its supercharged breakbeat guise, but we could always hear echoes of a classic house idea in there as well. Jono’s mix brings this to the fore, giving the whole record a very UK feel.”

Andrew Bayer x Asbjørn – ‘American Boy’

One of many LGBTQ+ collaborators across Andrew Bayer’s Duality‘ project, Danish singer/songwriter Asbjørn brings his unique pop sensibility to his latest single ‘American Boy‘, singing about cross-continental love in uncertain times.

“The nature of relationships within the music industry is fucked, cos it’s often built on these explosive and intense periods. Diving head first into each other and squeezing e-ve-ry-thing out of the moment, compensating for the time you know you will lose – to then literally not being awake at the same time.”

Jackal – ‘I Want To Destroy Something Beautiful’

“‘I Want To Destroy Something Beautiful‘ comes from a bitter place. For weeks and weeks, I was pissed off at the world and feeling vengeful. Over the course of this time, I aimed to make something that sounded like the end of everything. I told Roniit my thoughts and the title that I had in mind, and she worked around that. I really like how her voice brought a certain numbness to the track. A combination of her ethereal sound and the glitching synths work really well together.”
