KhoMha – ‘Earthshine’
Two years have passed since KhoMha last touched down on Armind, and that time away has evidently been well spent in preparation of this incredible effort. Juggling his signature drive with plucked melodies, airy vocals and sound bites geared more toward progressive and melodic techno, ‘Earthshine’ brings to light the exceptional production qualities of the Colombian creator.

Helmed by broken beats, well-crafted melodies and an atmosphere as timeless and entrancing as that of the original 1997 classic, this fresh rendition has set itself up nicely for nothing but glowing recommendations.

— Danny Lees

With a penchant for fusing sonic electronic production with lush alternative instrumentation, Lamorn is a teenage virtuoso, championing a unique stadium-indie sound with each new release and live performance.

Featuring a vocal performance from Lamorn himself, the brilliant track serves as a shining testament to Lamorn’s innate dexterity as an artist.
Henry Fong x Psycho Boys Club – ‘Lights Out’
Henry Fong and Psycho Boys Club join forces for ‘Lights Out’ on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak label, a fusion of hard/industrial techno and bass sounds, which are definitely not for the faint of heart.

Dabin – ‘Between Broken’
“‘Between Broken’ feels like a return to the sounds that inspired me to make music in the first place. I spent years trying to find and develop my own sound and this record felt like I had the means to pay homage to the sounds that pushed me to create my own music. Growing up I’d listen to a lot of acoustic and folk music. Those genres felt so delicate and intimate and that was a feeling I really wanted to replicate in ‘Between Broken.’ You’ll also hear some mid-west emo and pop punk influences sprinkled throughout the album as a nod to the bands that got me through some tough times.”
— Dabin
Soulji x Braev – ‘Shutter’
‘Shutter’ is a crimson-colored creation penned about “betrayal and brutal revenge.” Braev joins Soulji on the hunt for justice. Wielding their own set of razor-sharp skills, the pair perfectly complement one another as they take matters into their own hands. Braev’s hushed tones fill the air with an unsettling tension, while he outlines the soon-to-be crime scene with his haunting falsetto. Owning his own end of the bargain, Soulji introduces ominous harp motifs and foreboding pads to set the mood of the blood bath to be had. Soon enough, the premeditated plan is carried out with meticulous care as the slash of gritty basslines, pounding percussion, crisp hats, and piercing synth growls culminate into a murderous bounce of the first degree. At the end of it all, Soulji and Braev walk away with the comfort of knowing no one would ever dare cross this double threat because their life could very well depend on it.

Combining quality with ingenuity, the LA-based artist has made a name for himself with his groovy, dancefloor ready productions and consistent creative output. Simply put, SNBRN is house music at its versatile best, touching on deep emotion and conjuring nostalgia. Synthetic but also organic, if it doesn’t make you move, rest assured it’s not SNBRN.
SOHMI – ‘Time’
Rising Korean-American sensation SOHMI shows us why she’s commanding our attention right now with the launch of her DIY label, Permission. Kicking off with the first release is her own single ‘Time‘ – a minimal tech cut that envisions a 90’s Detroit techno-esque dreamscape brushed with a modern sheen.
Couros – ‘Untitled21’
“I wanted to make something that didn’t feel as connected and was more of a no-minded approach to making a song [‘Untitled21’]. I went off instinct for a whole day, added a vocal from a song I just wrote, cut it up and kept it fast and didn’t obsess. Probably the fastest from idea-to-master I’ve done yet and while there’s always that voice in my head telling me it’s not good enough, I’m really into leaving all the human mistakes/touches in because I guess that’s what makes it my song.”
