STEFANOS KOZANIS – “Asterismyth”
Stefanos Kozanis is going to take us on a celestial odyssey with “Asterismyth”, a spellbinding fusion of jazz, classical, and Greek traditional sounds. Inspired by the myths behind the constellations, each track feels like stardust woven into melody: ethereal, cinematic, and deeply evocative.
This isn’t just jazz; it’s storytelling through sound. The interplay between Katerina Konstantinou’s stunning vocals, Dimitris Margaritis’ poetic violin, and Kozanis’ masterful piano compositions creates an immersive sound that glows like constellations against the night sky. One moment, you’re floating in cosmic wonder; the next, you’re tangled in raw emotion.
From delicate harmonies to intricate improvisations, “Asterismyth” doesn’t just sound good; it feels profound. There’s nostalgia, hope, and mystery, all stitched into each note with a golden thread of artistry.
This album is surely a must-listen, a true masterpiece of myth and melody.
Fleanger – “Soul Logic”
Fleanger is back with an incredible project called “Soul Logic”, an emotionally charged track (along with some crazy remixes) that masterfully merges deep electronic grooves with some serious storytelling. Released just about 2 weeks ago, this collaboration with NIRØ and Romy Dya captures the essence of love’s paradox: where logic fades, and raw emotion takes over. This incredible track unfolds as a cinematic journey, blending hypnotic rhythms with lush and addictive melodies that evolve like the stages of a relationship.
Romy Dya’s stunning vocals serve as the emotional anchor, effortlessly conveying the tension between desire and doubt. The track’s production balances light, airy synths with deep basslines, creating an immersive sound that will get you hooked for sure.
This track invites listeners into a world where love and logic collide: a release that stands as a testament to the power of emotion-driven electronic music, and you guys can’t miss that.
STEFANOS KOZANIS – “Asterismyth”
It is now time for LTB’s new single “Butterflies”, a catchy blend of soulful R&B and atmospheric pop that showcases his signature velvet vocals and evocative lyricism. The track goes into the emotional chaos of love, betrayal, and the struggle to let go. With influences from The Weeknd, Joji, and Steve Lacy, LTB creates a haunting sonic experience, weaving smooth vocals over lush, jazz-tinged production that includes dreamy synths, deep basslines, and subtle guitar work.
The chorus gets quite addictive, it will play in your head even after the song ends, echoing the pain of lost trust and the addictive agony of toxic love. LTB’s storytelling is raw and vivid, capturing the paradox of being drawn to something beautiful yet harmful. This incredible single is a melancholic masterpiece, a perfect blend of haunting vulnerability and solid rhythm that solidifies LTB’s place as one of R&B’s most compelling artists in our opinion.
MARK J SOLER – “Soft Wake Up”
With “Soft Wake Up,” French artist Mark J Soler invites listeners into a tranquil morning reverie—an instrumental pop-jazz piece laced with mellow funk and soul grooves. Composed in Paris just before the holiday season, the track radiates warmth and leisure, like sunlight pouring through half-open blinds. Rich with smooth guitar lines, subtle keys, and an easygoing tempo, it perfectly captures that gentle limbo between dream and day.
Soler, who handles every aspect of production himself, draws influence from decades of American and British pop, especially Black American music. It’s a calm, feel-good soundscape that feels like it was made to accompany your slowest, most peaceful mornings—with coffee in hand and no place to be.
IVY LEAGUE – “American Love”
A decade in the making, American Love is a deeply personal album that traces the aftermath of trauma with quiet grace. Rather than focusing on what broke them, IVY LEAGUE reflects on the pieces left behind—mending them with lyrical gold, like the Japanese art of kintsugi. Each track feels intimate and lived-in, carried by minimal yet evocative production and a voice steeped in vulnerability. There’s pain here, but also acceptance—a soft reckoning with how life detours shape us into someone new. From faded memories to fragile healing, the album flows like pages torn from an old journal, honest and unguarded. American Love doesn’t chase grandeur; it invites you into the quiet room where the soul begins to stitch itself back together. It’s a haunting, beautiful reminder that our broken parts can still shine.
Cyber Mechanism – “Burning Pixels”
Burning Pixels is a glitch-fueled thrill ride through neon nostalgia and digital chaos. Cyber Mechanism blends house, techno, 8-bit textures and new wave flair into a retro-futuristic banger that feels like dancing inside a corrupted arcade dream. Fueled by the flicker of CRT screens and the pulse of underground club culture, the track blurs the line between euphoric and unhinged.
With a fictional collective of characters behind the music, Burning Pixels adds world-building to its sonic firepower—each synth stab and pixelated beat part of a broader universe. It’s the brighter, wilder side of a digital dystopia, offering escape for fans of synthwave, electronic experimentation, and visual storytelling. Play it loud, let the noise distort your thoughts, and step into the chaos.
Consequential – “LivinLife-NeedU”
With LivinLife-NeedU, UK producer Consequential drops a sun-soaked slice of euphoria that’s as bright as it is breezy. Trading in his usual experimental edge for a more pop-forward groove, the track blends feel-good energy with a nostalgic touch, channeling vibes reminiscent of Sub Focus and Wilkinson.
Built entirely “in the box” from his Suffolk countryside hideaway—with a trusty rottweiler by his side—Consequential crafts a moment of warmth and escape. The result? A track designed to lift spirits, spark movement, and gently pull you out of your head.
It’s a laid-back but groove-heavy anthem that captures the producer’s ongoing evolution—from hardcore punk roots to sparkling, electronic optimism. Whether you’re vibing at home or chasing the sun, LivinLife-NeedU is your reminder to keep moving forward… with a smile.
