CamelPhat duo keeps releasing interesting tunes, showing off a great effort in the evolution of house music also through their label When Stars Align. Their last remix of ‘Arodes – Kidz’ published on Unreleased Records (project curated by Arodes and Andrea Oliva) is stunning: it translates the afro house vibes of the original into a contemporary mixture of melodic house. Aside to the instrumental the vocals have been pitched down, a remarkable sound element which adds a carefree sensation in the playback.

Lyrics:
We run wild
We run free
I can you tell from your eyes
That it feels like a dream

Side by side
We go deep
Can you tell from my eyes
It kinda feels like a dream

OFF / GRID shows again his catchy, intriguing and dub techno inspired style with a fresh EP. Hosted by The Third Room, ‘Circular Motions’ is a four tracker which represents a very cool vision of contemporary techno music. ‘Bloody Raindrops’ opens the tracklist, its slow crescendo is fascinating and immediately engages the listeners, follows ‘Constant Expression’ that goes harder: the booming kickdrum and the large synth chord makes the atmosphere blazing. ‘Shivers’ follows the same line, anyway the loopy approach of the instrumental arouses a particular mentalism; finally ‘Play No Games’ closes the EP with a magnetic synth line, on this production the less is more approach to the sounds is alluring and makes the whole release winning.

Bolingo Malenbe

Futuristic approach to techno: Pias Electronique just released a single made by the Italian dj and producer Adiel, with the collaboration of the vocalist and percussionist Falle Nioke. The whole production shares moments of deep connection with ourselves (in the middle pauses) alternated with hype sequences: when the kick starts a raw kind of energy gets unleashed.

‘This is the kind of track I’ve always dreamt of creating. It’s urban and organic, and it really represents me. I’ve been working on the track for about a year, testing it out in my sets and closing with it, receiving some amazing reactions. The track was musically ready, but I felt it was missing a voice. Through PIAS, I found Falle Nioke, and he gave this track his beautiful voice and lyrics’. Adiel
