Dropping Mid May, just in time for the summer parties, Nickon Faith brings the heat with this Bicep inspired 11 track LP. Hitting the zeitgeist for the bigger room House sound of now, with inspirations from Dusky, Boards of Canada and Bonobo referenced, this record really has a fresh edge to it that makes it a big hit.
There is certainly a thread of the story to follow with this record, and that’s good to hear when often artists can fail to interact properly with the long-play format. This time around we have a collection of unique tracks that flow and keep things interesting as it progresses.
Here’s what Nickon Faith had to say:
“The tracks in Circumambient have mainly been drawn from experiences I’ve had, and phases in life where thoughts are overwhelming, ever-present and surrounding, which is why I chose the nameCircumambient.
With some of these songs having been worked on and constantly changed over a period of 3-4 years to get to where they are now, feeling as though everything is constantly just going around in circles which really brings home the themes that are being conveyed of being stuck in this whirlwind of thoughts and emotion. Embarking on a project like this has been a goal of mine ever since I started my musical journey as a young teenager, and the struggle to get all the pieces to fit together and tell a story like this has felt incredibly fulfilling.”
This certainly was a musical journey we are glad he took, 11 stand out tracks, top-notch production and a well thought out album.
Experimental DJ and producer subduxtion strikes back with yet another potent release. This time, he returns to collaborate with Milligrid Records once more to release his latest single ‘Seek’. After putting out hard-hitting tracks like ‘Deep Space’, ‘Dark Signals’ and ‘Syntetic’ via the same label, subduxtion wants to show off his skills and characteristic style that puts his name in the list of the most innovative producers as of late.
While producing and releasing new music on a constant basis, subduxtion also curates exclusive mixes for his radio show ‘Dark Signals’; the show has already caught the attention of listeners all around the world, as it’s been introduced as part of the weekly schedule of radio stations like ‘Inferno Radio’ from Ireland and ‘Cuebase’ from Germany.
‘Seek’ starts off with a dark house beat, enveloping pads and sirens that appear clear through layers of atmospheric pads and synths. The overall mysterious and dark vibe that invites the listener to a party of their own. A powerful bassline maintains the dynamic, while high pass filtered high hats mark the rhythm; a processed voice repeats ‘Seek’ adding a new dark touch to the puzzling but energetic vibe that builds up during the whole track. A sustained synth gets the spotlight at the end as a sign that the journey is over.
subduxtion continues to amaze at his capability to constantly produce new music that exhibits his own distinctive sound while setting a precedent and sustaining his legacy as an artist that innovates and explores within the realms of the darker, minimal and more atmospheric soundscapes.
Be sure to follow subduxtion as he continues to release new music and projects that are sure not to be missed. ‘Seek’ is out now and available in all major streaming platforms and online stores.
Releasing this June on outofprint, T.Nguyen “Twin” prepares a special double release with six stand out tracks that call on the sounds of classic House, Techno and the more Ravey analogue sounds.

On April 29, following almost a year of international hearsay and speculation, celebrated Danish live act WhoMadeWho unveiled the details and upcoming release date of their seventh full-length studio album UUUU. A thirteen-track opus set for release on May 27 via German imprint Embassy One, the album announcement was marked by the release of the huge collaborative album title track with Rampa – UUUU.
Now, with the release of the band’s long player just a fortnight away, WhoMadeWho unleash one final pre-album gift, as they enlist Berlin-based producer and Keinemusik co-founder &ME to provide his own resplendent interpretation of the ethereal six-minute album single.
One of the most in-demand artists in electronic music today, there are very few producers on the circuit who can lay claim to such an abundant slew of dancefloor juggernauts as &ME. The man behind tracks including Muyé, Discoteca, The Rapture Pt.II and perhaps most notably his 2019 remix of Guy Gerber’s What To Do, the past few years has also seen &ME help spearhead the huge international success of the Keinemusik collective, alongside esteemed label mates Rampa, Adam Port and Reznik.
Delivering a beautifully nuanced underground house cut, awash with luscious analogue textures, restrained rhythms and a blissful groove that bolsters the record across its duration, &ME’s remix is an absolute masterclass from the off; its pulsating heartbeat and teasing builds sweeping and soaring with intense delight. Subtle yet immense, the remix is produced with the poise and elegance of an artist who has been captivating minds with his music for over fifteen years – an artist whose ability to link innovative production with consensual reception making him one of the most unique and original figures in the game.
In the years since their inception WhoMadeWho have established themselves as one of the definitive underground bands of their generation, renowned for their exceptional grasp of emotional depth, heartrending melody and inspired song writing.
The group, comprised of Tomas Høffding, Tomas Barfod and Jeppe Kjellberg, inject consummate professionalism into standout performances all over the globe, from Roskilde to Sonar, Melt! to Burning Man and have produced seven albums and a plethora of EPs, singles and remixes on labels like Kompakt, Innervisions, Life & Death.
With Barfod’s penchant for electronic music poetically juxtaposed with Høffding and Kjellberg’s respective backgrounds in rock and jazz, their music is an electrifying combination of sounds, merging a variety of influences to produce a unique sonic fingerprint that is emotive, irresistible and immensely satisfying.

The Martinez Brothers have joined forces with dance music phenomenon Gordo and Nigerian talent Rema on new single ‘Rizzla’. Underpinned by a skippy 2-step beat, ‘Rizzla’ combines the infectious dancefloor stylings of UKG with Rema’s slick, instantly-recognisable vocals.
The track will feature on The Martinez Brother‘s forthcoming EP, with the duo also set to embark on their first ever headline Ibiza residency at White Isle hotspot Hï ibiza, taking over the venue every Tuesday from 14th June through to 27th September, with the likes of Paco Osuna, Loco Dice, Kerri Chandler, Marco Carola and Honey Dijon just some of the artists that will be joining them throughout.
“During the Pandemic, us and Gordo made a bunch of music, one of them being Rizzla.” The brothers explained. “It’s a special one because it bridges so many different parts of the world while at the same time crossing genres. We have utmost respect for Rema as an artist and to have him on this straight up club jam is insane.” – The Martinez Brothers
Two of the most consistent and recognisable names in the world of house and techno, The Martinez Brothers were introduced to disco and house music by their father from a young age. While known for producing lean and effective club records, from their break out ‘H2 DaIzzo‘ in 2012 to their 2019 ‘SaintLaurentYSL‘ remix, their 2020 foray into Latin pop with Rauw Alejandro, Zion & Lennox and Mr. Naisgai on ‘Química‘ shows their capacity to navigate effortlessly between underground and pop. Their most recent release saw them remix the TeddyPendergrass classic ‘The More I Get, The More I Want‘.
Guatemalan dance icon Diamanté Blackmon is once again defining a musical movement with his new house music alias; Gordo. Previously known as Carnage, Gordo made an instant mark on the scene last year with ‘KTM‘, the project’s debut single which became an instant ‘Top 10’ hit on the Beatport Main Chart. He has since dropped two more similarly well-received singles ‘EENIE WEENIE‘ and ‘TARAKA‘ and is ramping up for the summer with many gigs and releases to come.
Bursting onto the scene with breakthrough hits ‘Iron Man‘ and ‘Dumebi‘, Rema is one of the most in-demand artists around, receiving BET Awards nominations and having his music included on the FIFA 21 soundtrack. He released his debut album Rave & Roses in March, a 16-track release that features the likes of 6lack, Chris Brown, AJ Tracey and Yseult.
