The bassline for this massive collaboration creeps forward with restraint, letting atmosphere and emotion do most of the work. Her delivery feels distant and intimate at the same time, threading vulnerability into a highly mechanical soundscape. Witnessing this track live at The Sphere was unforgettable.
KREAM – Arrival [LIQUID : LAB Records]
There is a sense of scale baked into “Arrival,” from its slow-building structure to the weight of its synth design. KREAM leans into mood and tension rather than immediacy, letting the track unfold like a cinematic sequence. In typical KREAM fashion, it is paired with a stunning music video with mesmerizing shades of red and thematically in sync with the ‘Arrival’ movue.
Ferry Corsten – Punk (KASIA Remix) [Armada Music]
KASIA presents her remix of Ferry Costen’s timeless classic ‘Punk’. An unstoppable force in the melodic techno space, KASIA presents her remix of Ferry Costen‘s timeless classic “Punk”.

Massano, braev – Fade Away [Simulate]
Massano’s debut album ‘Natural‘ finally arrived and fans did not have to wait long to crown a standout. “Fade Away,” featuring braev, is one of those tracks that hits instantly. It is emotionally intense and melodically huge, riding a fine line between vulnerability and raw power. A track like this shows exactly why Massano is making such a massive mark on the scene.
Innellea, TH;EN, Carlo Whale – Inside Your Mind [belonging]
Built around a gripping hook and tightly controlled energy, “Inside Your Mind” captures the collaborative spirit behind Innellea’s belonging project. Indie dance influences ripple through a melodic techno framework that feels polished but never overworked. The tension stays high without crowding the mix, letting each element breathe.
Fehrplay – Icarus [Tenet Recordings]
Where its counter-single “Aether” looks outward, this one burns upward. The synths feel heavier, the pulse more urgent, and the tension never fully releases. It is designed for that moment when a set pivots from reflection to lift-off. Controlled pressure, steady ascent.
Leblanc, Madalen Duke – Oblivion [Polydor France / Staccato Records]
Operatic vocals and string elements give this track its emotional gravity, but the bassline keeps it grounded. Madalen Duke’s performance adds weight without overwhelming the arrangement. Leblanc’s ability to merge choir-like textures with melodic techno is on full display here.
Paradoks – C’est Toi [Purified Records]
Irresistible French vocals glide over a rolling bassline that never loses momentum. The contrast between its smooth atmosphere and punchy progression gives “C’est Toi” a distinctive personality. It manages to feel sensual without softening its drive. A track that shifts the room’s mood without slowing it down.
ARTBAT, Benny Benassi – Love Is Gonna Save Us [Ultra Records]
This is the kind of rework that feels like it was always meant to happen. ARTBAT taps into Benassi’s 2003 classic and injects it with new emotion, new meaning. While not overly flashy, it just hits with precision. A groove that still echoes the past while feeling undeniably current.
Kasablanca – Television [Anjunabeats]
“Television” stands out for its balance of emotional depth and structural precision. The duo leans into melody and storytelling, while keeping the rhythm grounded and purposeful. Along with the rest of Kasablanca’s ‘Higher Resolution (Side B)‘, this track is an original masterpiece that is primed for a variety of settings, from long car drives to open air sunrise sets.
Mathame, JONOS, Son of Son – Meet Me
This Mathame release taps into their emo-tech aesthetic, wrapping JONOS and Son of Son’s hypnotic vocal around a dramatic, neon-lit arrangement. The visuals from the music video pay homage to Japanese culture while carrying over into the production, which is sharp, futuristic, and emotionally weighted. Layers of arps and atmospheric pads give the track a sense of upward movement that never lets go.
Rebūke, Au/Ra – Ignite [ERA Music Limited]
There is a heavy emotional current running through “Ignite,” shaped by apocalyptic themes and restrained intensity. Au/Ra’s vocal floats above the arrangement with a ghostlike calm, contrasting the urgency underneath. Rebūke keeps the production tight, letting atmosphere drive the narrative. The artwork and sound feel inseparable, reinforcing the track’s sense of shared resolve amid chaos.
Goom Gum – Enough [Avtook Records]
Pressure is the name of the game here. “Enough” revolves around commanding vocals, sharp plucks, and a low end designed to dominate warehouse systems. The cyberpunk edge gives it a confrontational tone without tipping into excess. It is the kind of record DJs reach for when they need immediate crowd response.
Rauschhaus, Peer Kusiv – Quantum Mirage [Forevermore]
This one sneaks up on you. Spacious percussion and textured layers ease into a groove that gradually locks your body into motion. The balance between restraint and momentum keeps everything fluid, making it feel equally at home in headphones or on a dancefloor. Once it clicks, it is impossible to sit still.
Celeste, Dominik Gehringer – What Does It Mean [NOW Recordings]
The NOW imprint keeps its momentum strong in 2025 with ‘Infinity II,’ a stacked VA compilation spotlighting five sleek and forward-pushing cuts. “What Does It Mean” stands out with a low-end groove that pulls you in and vocals that swirl like a lucid dream. It’s deep, rhythmic, and fully immersive. Also featuring tracks from Emiliano Demarco, Turako, Omar Khalifa, Mario Eighta, Unseen, and Sincz, Infinity II proves this global collective is locked in and shaping the future sound of the label.
