Tobor Rellik - Stationary Traveling (Harmonious Discord)

Tobor Rellik graces us with Stationary Traveling, his first full-length excursion into softly muted insanity—the flavor-rich compilation of dance tracks and beyond leverages dissonance with mastery. Launching the compilation is a floaty-found sound reprise perfect for dialing in the tension in the atmosphere. Stripped-down serenades like "Tapeworm" and "Lost Control" hover between resonating nightmare fuel and future funk. "Walking in Circles" dials in the bass theatrics while keeping the blended sonic shimmers. "Droppin Moms" and "Reverse Polarity" dial up the disorienting percussion with breakdowns into largely chaotic meshes of silliness and uncertainty. "Merky Atmosphere" is an absolutely bonkers late-night driver. Stubbled drum fills and high-intensity bass variations propel the later episodes of the album. "Selective Memory" harkens to early Spectral releases with the same detail in the groove. Tobor Rellik has consistently contributed to the Harmonious Discord's evolution, and this album perfectly encapsulates his development into a sonic force.

Animal Friend - Glorious (Anthony Mansfield Remix) [Green Gorilla Lounge]

San Francisco's dance music veteran Anthony Mansfield brings his psychedelic touch to Animal Friend's "Glorious" in a remix that transforms the indie-electronic original into a hypnotic dancefloor expedition. The remix skillfully preserves Kazuko Anne Kimura's ethereal vocals while wrapping them in layers of rich, cosmic synthesizers and pulsating rhythms.

Mansfield, whose musical journey began with the legendary Wicked Crew's full moon parties, demonstrates his decades of experience behind the decks in this carefully crafted revision. "I wanted to create something that would work equally well at 4 AM in a sweaty warehouse or during sunset at Burning Man," Mansfield explains. His remix accomplishes exactly that, maintaining the emotional core of Animal Friend's original while expanding its horizons into deeper, more psychedelic territory. The result is a sophisticated piece of dance music that bridges the gap between indie sensibilities and club culture. Dive in!

DJ Three (Hallucienda) – “Both mixes are very well done and in the crate.”
Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “A fine slice of late night loveliness.”
Chris Todd (Crazy P) – “Great stuff, both the Original and Anthony’s remix.”

Dj Daniel D - What Is House (294 Records)

DJ Daniel D's latest single on 294 Records poses the genre's most fundamental question ... the Brazilian producer's "What Is House" arrives as a three-track exploration, each version offering its own compelling answer through sound rather than words.

TheOriginal Mix serves as a love letter to house music's golden age, where staccato piano chords dance atop filtered disco basslines. Its buoyant synth riffs and incendiary drum programming capture the essence of those transcendent dance floor moments when time seems to stand still.

The duo Paul et Luc transform the track with their signature touch, injecting Moroder-inspired bass patterns and soaring string arrangements that build to euphoric heights. Meanwhile, Nytron, son of Brazilian music royalty Pepeu Gomes and Baby, takes the track into deeper territory. His remix growls with subsonic intensity and spatial awareness, nodding to UK garage while maintaining the original's celebratory spirit.

This release demonstrates how house music's seemingly simple formula continues to yield fresh interpretations, adding another distinct chapter in an ongoing conversation about the house music's endless possibilities.

Rory Hoy (Super Hi-Fi) – “Sho nuff funky, the Paul et Luc remix is - great stuff!”
Tommy D Funk (Good For You Records) – “Wicked track. The Original Mix is the one.”
Lönya (Asymmetric Recordings) – “Great single. All of the the mixes are cool.”
Delmar Browne (The BK Basement) – “One of a kind affair.”
Klaus Benedek (Fortunea Records) – “Paul et Luc remix is massive!”
Soulfuledge (House FM) – “Original & Nytron Remix for me... I'll give them a spin on next week's Colourful show!”

DJ Samuel Lawrence - Used To Hold Me (R Side Recordings)

DJ Samuel Lawrence's latest offering on R Side Recordings speaks to those twilight moments when the club becomes a sanctuary of shared consciousness. The two-track release showcases Lawrence's masterful understanding of deep house's spiritual DNA while pushing the dancefloor into fresh territory.

"Used to Hold Me" centers on a masterfully engineered kick drum that anchors floating vocal fragments and precise stereo stabs. The production achieves that elusive sweet spot where technical excellence meets pure dance floor magnetism. Lawrence then orchestrates layers of tribal percussion and crisp snare hits into the moody warehouse burner, "Light Dark." Like watching storm clouds gather through factory windows, the track's ominous breakdown creates tension before unleashing its rhythmic payload.

Both tracks demonstrate R Side Recordings' commitment to releasing house music that prioritizes sonic innovation and DJ utility. Lawrence's careful attention to the subtleties of sub-bass and atmospheric space allows these tools to work in both peak-time slots and deeper sets. Dig in.

John Ferris (Transitions Sydney) – “Both tracks are amazing. Used To Hold Me is a huge classic and done well.”
PillowTalk (PillowTalk Music) – “Great work! Full support.”
Joey Silvero (Distant People)** (Seamless) – “Vocal is working nice here.”
Zack Hill (TribeRadio Podcast) – “What a nice surprise! Used To Hole Me is dope.”
Jon Barnes (KZSU 90.1 FM) – “Love the groove and mood of Light Dark.”
Yogi Haughton (DJ Mag reviewer) – “Always loved the original of You Used To. This is a fierce rub.”
