London based DJ and producer Mr. Kavalicious launches his new imprint Chai High Club with a bold debut release blending UK underground tech house with South Asian influence. Teaming up with Indian rapper Shia, the track pairs driving drums and rolling basslines with her distinctive vocal flow, creating a fresh crossover between club music and Indian hip hop energy. With its infectious energy and distinctive cultural edge, the release sets the tone for Chai High Club’s mission

GD SOL returns with Take Control, a sleek deep melodic house single built around hypnotic flow and understated tension. Anchored by atmospheric rhythms and alluring melodies, the track balances dancefloor focus with a smooth emotional pull, landing somewhere between late-night introspection and forward motion. There’s a clear nod to 90s house in its warmth and restraint, but Take Control keeps its sound polished and current. Rather than chasing excess, GD SOL lets the groove

Tray tables upright. Brace positions please. Mike Push now has his singles throttle wide open. With pre-flight checks for his ‘Known Universe’ LP conclusively run through the harmonic systems of ‘Breakpoint’ and ’Back When We Believed’, the tempo and temperature gloves have now come off. The fierce ‘n’ firestartin’ ‘Future Fall’ is on final club approach, ready and set to further bait the floor’s breath for Push’s eighth longform. Urged on by its chanted “Go! Go! Go!” vocal,

ORIGINAL AND KRISMI MIXES Month by 2026-month, Christian Burns has been turning the singles pages on his highly anticipated ‘Love Songs From Suburbia’ successor. As he’s been doing so, he’s also been script-flipping its titles and themes in a knowingly cryptic manner. Case in point, the spiritually elevating ‘Fall To You’, which augured the unexpectedly optimistic (but against-title-type), ‘Darker Days’. Now, ‘I Will Follow’s trust-the-moment message is itself tailed by his t

An intimate, exclusive 75-person rave now streamed for all – stream it HERE Part of El Tony Mate’s Selected Sessions series El Tony Mate recently brought its Selected Sessions series to Basel’s iconic fondue bar Hafechäs, where Mixmag cover star and March 2026 DJ-Kicks artist, Peruvian house and techno DJ Sofia Kourtesis, and local Swiss talent Sebastian Konrad played to 75 selected guests on 9th April. Now, everyone’s invited to experience it, as the full set from Sofia Kou

Combining indie dance sensibilities with a driving rhythm, and soulful flare, the powerful tech house release is out now. Continuing his prolific run of 2026 form, renowned Indian electronic music producer and DJ Migrant returns with “Parallel Voices”, a richly textured and dynamic new house cut, out now. Expanding on his increasingly refined sonic identity, “Parallel Voices” blends indie dance sensibilities with the precision of tech house, resulting in a track that feels bo

Opening the catalogue is ‘Echoes of Light’, a dynamic three-track EP with FunkT!de, arriving April 24 Rising electronic duo Sunora announce the launch of their brand new record label, SUNCTURE, alongside the imprint’s debut release Echoes of Light — a three-track EP created in collaboration with FunkT!de, arriving April 24, 2026. SUNCTURE marks a new step for the recently formed duo, conceived as a platform for groove-led, emotionally resonant house music rooted in warmth and

Few tracks manage to balance immediacy and depth as effectively as “No Cap.” Jordan John and FiNE deliver something that works instantly, yet reveals more with each listen. The percussion is layered with care, creating a sense of depth that extends beyond the stereo field. Each element occupies its own space, contributing to a groove that feels immersive rather than cluttered. The track’s heaviness comes not from volume, but from density. The vocal hook introduces a human ele

Oi lands on Yaffa Records with Move It, a release built on hypnotic pressure and heady groove. Rooted in Psychedelic House, the title track rolls forward on elastic bass, crisp drums and lead lines that keep everything in motion without ever forcing the moment. It is the kind of record that locks dancers in early and stays with them deep into the night. The package gets pushed into different directions by a strong cast of remixers. No Static adds a sleeker, more stripped-back

It is a rare moment when two powerhouse artists unite for their first collaboration—rarer still when it marks a defining return. Some partnerships are so pivotal they demand once-in-a-lifetime lyrics—words that capture them, regardless of how difficult those lived experiences may be to transcribe. Such is the case for ‘Eclipsed By You’ — the first artistic coming-together of EDM songstress HALIENE and Anjuna mainstay Ilan Bluestone, and a striking return to trance for HALIENE

Her clubfloor-priming single ‘What U Like’ set the tone from ASOT 25 across stages throughout her debut Asia & Australia tour. Now Sarah de Warren follows it with ‘Games’ - a darker, more controlled exploration of power, tension and emotional manipulation on the dancefloor. Where the first single introduced the EP’s sonic world, ‘Games’ sharpens its edge. Built for the MainStage, de Warren’s sweet yet haunting vocal weaves through a darker, trance-leaning production, pairing

The brainchild of Arjan Rietveld, (also author of Hypnotised - A Journey Through Trance Music, the definitive written history on the subject), its focus shifts fro

In Test Pressure, Tom Wax achieves a rare balance between functionality and atmosphere. The album is firmly rooted in the mechanics of techno, yet it never loses sight of its emotional dimension. Each track serves a purpose within the larger structure, contributing to a sense of progression that feels natural rather than forced. The transitions are smooth, almost imperceptible, allowing the listener to move seamlessly from one state to another. The sound design is detailed wi

On Terroir , Goose Down refines a sonic vocabulary built on warmth, rhythm, and restraint. Micah Smith’s production is marked by a clear attention to detail, where even the smallest elements contribute to the overall atmosphere. The EP’s four tracks operate within a shared tonal spectrum—muted, textured, and gently propulsive. There’s an emphasis on continuity, with transitions that feel organic rather than constructed. This fluidity allows the listener to move through the re

The Rising Artist Announces ‘As Soon As I Get Home’ EP UK/EU Tour in April Including Headline Show At London’s Village Underground BUY/STREAM HERE UK-based multi-instrumentalist, artist, DJ and producer Rules returns with his fourth single “Nothing Left ”, a deep, reflective club cut set for release on 15th April via Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records. The track features emotive vocals from Coldabank and SHYA, marking another evolution in Rules’ signature blend of atmosp

There’s a severity to Stand Or Fight that feels almost ideological. Prevision and TiM TASTE strip their palette down to essentials, constructing a track that thrives on absence as much as presence. The production is meticulously controlled. No element overstays its welcome, and nothing is introduced without purpose. This creates a sense of surveillance—like every frequency is being monitored, every shift calculated. The result is a track that resists passive listening. It de
