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

“No Cap” operates on a simple principle: repetition as elevation. Jordan John and FiNE understand that in a club context, the smallest variations can have the biggest impact, and they exploit this idea to full effect. The track builds on a foundation of tribal percussion that feels both organic and mechanical. There’s a looseness to the rhythm, but it’s always anchored by a precise, driving kick. This duality creates a groove that feels human yet relentless. The vocal is less

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

Tom Wax’s Test Pressure demonstrates that intensity in techno does not require excess. Instead, it emerges through careful modulation, through the gradual accumulation of sonic elements that build tension without overwhelming the listener. The album’s strength lies in its subtlety. Rhythms are steady but never static, evolving through small variations that keep the listener engaged. Melodic elements are used sparingly, appearing as fleeting gestures that add emotional depth w

There’s a distinct sense of narrative flow across Terroir , even in the absence of conventional storytelling. Goose Down constructs each track as a sequence of unfolding environments, where sonic elements enter, interact, and dissolve with an almost cinematic pacing. Micah Smith’s production language is rooted in hybridity. House rhythms are softened and stretched, broken beat patterns introduce asymmetry, while jazz harmonics add emotional nuance. Disco, meanwhile, lingers i

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.

Yellow Kitchen continues to explore the outer edges of club functionality with its latest release, Stand Or Fight , a collaboration between Prevision and TiM TASTE. Rather than following conventional build-and-drop structures, the track adopts a more architectural approach. Its progression is subtle, almost imperceptible, relying on micro-shifts in texture and rhythm to maintain momentum. This positions Stand Or Fight within a growing subset of electronic music that prioriti
