Innellea announces the compilation Finding Home with the release of “Childhood” ft. Goom Gum

Innellea continues building his belonging universe with the release of “Childhood,” a mesmerizing collaboration with Russian production duo Goom Gum. The track serves as the second single from Innellea’s forthcoming compilation album Finding Home, set for release on September 5th via his groundbreaking community-driven imprint.

The collaboration brings together Innellea‘s cinematic emotional depth with Goom Gum‘s chart-dominating production prowess, creating a piece that explores the nostalgic beauty of formative experiences while maintaining the dancefloor energy that has made both acts essential fixtures in today’s electronic landscape.

Goom Gum, the duo behind the #1 Beatport hit “Pantheon” with Argy on Afterlife and the UK club dance chart-topper “It’s A Lot,” brings their signature melodic techno mastery to Innellea‘s introspective sonic world.

Childhood” exemplifies the collaborative philosophy at the heart of Finding Home, a 12-track collection featuring partnerships with artists Innellea deeply respects and considers part of his creative family. The album represents a collective exploration of what it means to find your place in the world through shared musical experiences.

“I’m a really emotional person. I cry easily, especially when something beautifully touches me,” reflects Innellea on the vulnerability that shapes belonging’s DNA.

“I believe vulnerability is human and necessary. We should be able to show emotions without being judged for it. That’s why I created belonging from a place of total honesty – that’s exactly what I want the label to reflect.”

Since launching with “Inside Your Mind” featuring TH;EN and Carlo Whale, belonging has established itself as a platform where genre boundaries dissolve and authentic connection takes precedence. The label’s community-driven approach extends beyond music, with fans directly involved in shaping the project through a dedicated Telegram channel where they help choose artwork, vote on singles, and contribute fresh ideas.

Goom Gum‘s inclusion in the compilation speaks to belonging’s commitment to supporting artists who share Innellea‘s vision of emotional transparency and musical innovation. The duo, whose releases on prestigious labels like Afterlife, Armada, and Tomorrowland Music never disappear from dance charts, represents the perfect synthesis of underground credibility and mainstream appeal that defines Innellea‘s curatorial vision.

With regular support from electronic music’s elite, including Solomun, Pete Tong, Tale of Us, and Deadmau5, plus their tracks becoming essential elements in Anyma and MRAK‘s performances over the past two years, Goom Gum brings both chart success and underground respect to the belonging family.

Finding Home aims to weave diverse collaborative perspectives into a cohesive exploration of connection, community, and the search for authentic belonging in an increasingly fragmented world.

The full compilation arrives September 5th, offering a complete journey through the emotional and sonic landscapes that define Innellea‘s vision for the future of electronic music.

Reinier Zonneveld Remixes Lützenkirchen’s Classic ‘3 Tage Wach’

To celebrate 20 years of Berlin label Stil vor Talent, mainstay Reinier Zonneveld remixes one of the imprint’s key singles, the early electro house classic ‘3 Tage Wach’ by German DJ and producer Lützenkirchen.

3 Tage Wach’ (“three days awake”), the 60th best-selling single of 2008 in Germany, is a satirical, humorous “mirror of the [techno] scene”. Through gritty vocoder-sung lyrics, it captures the chaos of “partying for three days without sleep, ingesting lots of alcohol and drugs”.

Zonneveld‘s ‘20yrs SVT Remix‘ is an elegantly executed take, retaining the original’s singalong vocals, boosting the BPM, and combining heavy techno drums with a raw acid bassline – a signature touch from the Filth On Acid founder. All the vibes of the tongue-in-cheek original remain, now reimagined for the cavernous confines of a hard-hitting techno rave.

Celebrating two decades, Reinier‘s remix of ‘3 Tage Wach‘ is part of a year-long schedule of remixes of some of Stil Vor Talent‘s biggest hits from an impressive 400-strong catalogue. So far, these have consisted of remixes of classic tracks by Oliver Koletzki, from Hidden Empire and Ede & Deckert.

The 20yrs SVT Remix of Lützenkirchen‘s 2008 classic ‘3 Tage Wach‘, from Reinier Zonneveld, is out now via Stil vor Talent.

Café del Mar Launches First Artist Album With Legendary Duo Pig&Dan

Jordi Cervera | www.jordicervera.com

Marking a bold new chapter in their enduring legacy, Café del Mar releases its first-ever artist-led album ‘Journey Within’ crafted by electronic heavyweights Pig&Dan.

The album represents an exciting genre shift for both artist and label, fusing Pig&Dan’s signature techno-edged soundtrack with the icon, laid-back, immersive ethos of Café del Mar’s chillout heritage.

Globally recognized for defining the chillout and Balearic sound, Café del Mar is renowned for curating captivating sunset experiences and compilations, shaping decades of musical culture far beyond the Balearics where it was born.

Now celebrating their 45th anniversary, the revered Ibiza brand embraces a forward-thinking persona, expanding on their formative roots. This new format sets to elevate their legacy through a collaborative vision, starting with Pig&Dan‘s ‘Journey Within’. This milestone sets a precedent for artist-led projects under Café del Mar Music, pushing boundaries whilst still honoring its sunset heritage.

Café del Mar’s resident DJ & Music Curator, Ken Fan, echoes the release’s sentiment:

“Pig&Dan sent me this unsigned album last year, and after testing the tracks in my daily sets, the crowd’s reaction said it all. Every time I included them in a mix, people were asking what they were, and Shazaming with no results. It’s a brilliant start to our first artist release at Café del Mar, with more to come. Watch this space.”

Pig&Dan Journey Within
Pig&Dan – Journey Within

For Pig&Dan, Journey Within marks an artistic evolution. Broadly known for their high-energy Techno sets on worldwide stages that include Tomorrowland and Awakenings, the creative duo pivots into a more reflective side of their identity with this compilation.

The album roots itself into earthy dub textures, featuring warm psychedelia and downtempo soundscapes that create an expansive reimagining of chillout music, anchored with raw depth and emotion.

Pig&Dan share their insights and inspiration:

“We wanted to explore the deeper, more emotive side of our musical identity, stepping away from the club energy to create something that reaches a bit deeper. This album is a journey into our minds, reflecting the influences and organic sounds that have always been part of our creative DNA.”

The album is both evolutionary and explorative in equal measure. With a well-curated mix of tracks and emotions, listeners will be drawn into a journey that amplifies the Ibiza vibe. The first track is a prime example, ‘Can’t Do It On My Own’ instantly sets the album’s soul-searching tone.

Built upon rich, layered instrumentation, the track weaves emotive strings and atmospheric synths before breaking into an expressive vocal, elevating the track’s introspective feel. It’s a standout production that bridges Pig&Dan’s underground credibility with Café del Mar’s resilient and emotive storytelling.

This milestone release not only honors Café del Mar’s Balearic heritage, synonymous with chillout and Ibiza’s golden-hour spirit, but also signals a visionary future for the label. With stunning cover art by David Robles, Journey Within captures a deeply personal and forward-thinking sound, setting the tone for a new era of artist-led storytelling under Café del Mar Music.
