The genre-bending Mason is to mark the release of his fourth long player Chroma Panorama, and a career spanning over two decades, in one celebratory shindig at Ministry of Sound, London, on Friday 17 November. On this latest album, Mason once again demonstrates his quirky versatility, craftsmanship and disregard for the musical zeitgeist, which pretty much sums up what’s in store at Ministry later this month. The Dutchman will be stepping into the foray of Ministry’s regular Friday night FUTURE, with sets also coming from Norwegian brothers KREAM, and house-techno duo, Pax. It’s been several years – since 2015 to be exact – that Mason played at Ministry of Sound. His relationship with the label dates back to 2006 when it released his worldwide hit ‘Perfect (Exceeder)’ with American rapper, Princess Superstar, which charted all over Europe. Not many dance music artists had such an unusual career path, stretching from being a kid TV star to Tiesto’s touring violinist to pop chart hit maker to guerrilla party organiser to one of the most productive and collaborative producers of the lowlands. Mason does it all, becoming one of the true gems of the European electronic music scene. This guy has created chart topping records, music for Dior and Hugo Boss and countless underground bangers. Whether laying down sweaty club DJ sets around the world to touring his live ‘Mason & The Masonettes’ show, this musical polymath is always shifting colours, and blurring boundaries. In short, Mason is always keeping things interesting for himself and his audience. Chroma Panorama (released on Mason’s own imprint Animal Language on 10 November) takes a journey through cerebral urban pop, 80’s sex jams, indie tinged house, sprinkled with funk and soulful downtempo vibrations. The fourteen tracks include guest appearances from the likes of Dragonette, Sweetie Irie (Gorillaz), Brit Award winner Jack Garrett and Zero 7 chanteuse Sophie Barker. There are also guest voices from members of The Gospel House Choir and UK indie pop favourites Girl Ray.

Following the 2021 release of Monolink’s critically-acclaimed sophomore album Under Darkening Skies, the internationally renowned producer and solo live act now invites two of the underground circuit’s most authentic voices, Argy and Omnya, to deliver an emphatic new remix for the long player’s opening track Laura. The release lands on esteemed Berlin-based imprint Embassy One and marks a debut for newly-formed outfit Omnya. One of twelve impeccable vocal-led offerings on the record, Laura served as an emotive preface to the thought-provoking and reflective opus that is Under The Darkening Skies. Featuring vocals from Monolink himself, the indie-dance number – and its succeeding cuts – displayed a truly avant-garde essence that labelled the LP his most daring and complex body of work to date. Out now across all streaming platforms, Argy and Omnya’s tasteful rework guides Monolink’s refined and cinematic original to a dark melodic techno realm that’s conducive to late-night listening. Implementing powerfully resonant percussive work and long, reflective breaks, the pair have created an anthemic gem that’s as dance-inducing as it is meditative. Tethered to the roots of its original counterpart through tone and narrative, Argy and Omnya’s latest release is a masterclass in remix work, opening Laura’s impact to new audiences.

Hey Dexter! Thanks for joining us today. How's your summer been so far? Hello! The summer is exciting and full of energy with several DJ gigs and music releases planned for the next six months. This is a time I particularly enjoy because there are many fun outdoor festivals. Congrats on the release of La Montée EP on Street King. What was your experience working on this record? Thanks! Working on the La Montée EP was a journey through my personal influences. It was a mix of my Spanish heritage from my mother, and my teenage years deeply influenced by the "French Touch". The track "La Montée" is a reflection of this fusion. How did you first get into Music Production and DJ’ing? My journey into music began in a bit of a "geeky" way - recording electronic sounds from video games like my Nintendo (NES) or my Sega (Megadrive). I was fascinated by electronic soundscapes. I later discovered Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre. Then I started mixing at the age of 13 at the home of a friend’s older brother who was a fan of house & techno music and who was the only person in my neighbourhood to have MK2 decks (he generously let me use them to take my first steps). After that I started to mix in bars, clubs and festivals in the area and also started to produce. Growing up, who were some of the musical influences that you think have shaped your taste in music? My taste in music has been shaped by a wide range of influences, ranging from jazz, disco, funk, soul, to classical music, film music, and early vintage hip-hop. What does your studio setup look like? My studio is a mix of software and hardware. I use Ableton Live Suite as my DAW, with software from UHE, Native Instruments, iZotope, and Arturia. I also use samples from soundbanks like Vengeance, Rankin Audio, Loopmasters, etc. For hardware, I use a TR909, a TR808, a Nord Stage 3, a Nordlead 4, a Prophet 8, a Virus TI, and a Moog Voyager. Having good equipment is always very cool, but the difficult part is knowing how to use it skillfully. Can you mention some instruments and plugins that you believe define your sound? I would say Ableton, some good banks and the Moog Voyager: ) How that La Montée is out, what is next for Dexter Troy? There are tracks in the pipeline with releases planned on King Street Sounds, Mood Funk Records, and Monoside Records, as well as DJ gigs in Switzerland and abroad. Thanks for joining us today. Is there anything else you would like to mention before we go? Thanks for the support and all the best for this summer!

A collective formed by dance music heavyweights Sven Väth, Matthias Hoffmann and Steffen Britzake (B-Zet), Zyon were one of the first electronic acts to grace the iconic Eye Q Records, gaining immediate worldwide acclaim for their 1992 hit No Fate. The trance offering became a staple amongst the electronic music community, and following a cover by Scooter in 1997, it was clear that the record’s impact would be felt for years to come. Having remained relatively untouched for the past two decades, No Fate now receives a new lease of life through a string of contemporary reworks, reminding the next generation of dance music followers of its historic importance. No Fate’s resurgence is launched with a huge melodic techno remix from one of the scene’s most authoritative figures, Adam Beyer. The Swedish talent has a highly recognisable sound palate that’s built on intoxicating synth leads and hard-hitting percussion; his contribution to this project proving no exception. Guiding the original mix into heavier, techno waters, Beyer’s remix is a welcomed take on this classic old-school trance number and will no doubt receive heavy circulation across the club and festival circuit over the course of 2023. Adam Beyer’s remix of No Fate is available now across all streaming platforms and via twelve x twelve as a Digital Vinyl / Music NFT with exclusive content, ownership and limited access to the community. Next to join the release is B-Zet (Stevie B-Zet / Steffen Britzake) – one of the three musical masterminds behind the original record – who returns over thirty years later to deliver a completely fresh perspective on his storied opus. Available exclusively as a Digital Vinyl / Music NFT, the remix marks a triumphant return to the release radar for the keyboard player and producer, following a six year hiatus from releasing music. Rounding out the record’s revival, we’re treated to the dark melodies and rolling rhythms of brotherly duo YORK. The German natives give us a replete sense of ‘the journey’ with their rework, as they cut through monumental trance riffs, all-encompassing percussion, reflective breaks and epic apex moments. Landing on all streaming platforms from July 14, the pair’s emotionally charged remix is currently available as Digital Vinyl / Music NFT. Why digital vinyl? The artist regains artistic freedom instead of algorithmic control, and their fans once again own a piece of music history. Through exclusive content and limited access, the artist and super fans foster a stronger connection and mutual growth.

Flourishing into one of the leading names in electronic music over the past few years, French producer Joachim Pastor teams up with Cartouche for a magical collaboration, Forsaken Memories – out now on Armada Music. Marking a new musical and visual direction for the critically acclaimed producer, Joachim Pastor’s latest addition to his catalogue emanates a nostalgic atmosphere through poignant lyrics and an intricately composed arrangement. Encouraging the listener to reflect, Cartouche’s touching vocals are met with twinkling keys, guiding synths and driving bass. Arriving at the perfect time to beckon the summer months, this essential single will instantly capture the hearts of music lovers all over the world. Speaking about the release, Joachim Pastor mentioned: “Forsaken Memories is a high-energy, nostalgic melodic techno track that captures the bittersweet feeling of letting go of memories. With a captivating beat and emotive melody, the track evokes a sense of both longing and release, inviting listeners to dance and reflect on the memories they may have left behind.” To Joachim, music is not about the hype, trends or the weekly special. The Hungry Music founder has remained true to his foundations and moves solely to the beat of his own drum. Classically trained at the Versailles Conservatory, and inspired by the works of seminal artists such as Daft Punk, Sonata Artica and Jean-Michel Jarre, Joachim’s melodious brand of electronica offers a sense of sophistication not easily found in today’s music world. Designed to make listeners feel with every fibre of their being, his music is an expression of emotion with a danceable twist, and gathers over one million monthly streams on Spotify alone. Enchanting crowds on some of the world’s biggest stages, Joachim has performed at the likes of Tomorrowland, DGTL and Pleinvrees. Releasing his debut full-length studio album on Armada Music in 2021, Greater Message helped to solidify his reputation as a producer, and gives a deeper insight into his sonic identity.

Following the release of his ‘Just The 1’ EP on Mason Collective’s Whippin label in 2022, increasingly popular London-based DJ/Producer Luke Dean unveils his next studio production, released on 28th April 2023 in the form of an immersive four-track EP on George Smeddles’ South Records imprint titled ‘Sounding Different’. You can buy/stream it here: https://lnk.to/STH005 Opening with ‘Sounding A Bit 90s’, the EP gets underway with an engrossing slice of nostalgia. Reminiscent of one of the golden eras of dance, it comes in hot with firm beats, energetic percussion, hooking melodies and head-turning vocal segments - this one is a real toe-tapper! ‘How You Baby’ follows with punchy drum work and swinging hat grooves from the outset. Riding a wave of thickened bass notes and resonant organ lines, its funky personality provides a constant ebb and flow of danceable sections and refreshing breaks from start to finish. ‘Strictly Different’ rediscovers that rambunctious 90s flavour, loaded with a rolling bassline, pulsating synths, piercing hat sequences and attitude-laden rap vocals with soulful licks. Prime time dancefloor energy with instant throwback appeal is the only way you can describe this absolute heater. ‘Going On’ closes the release with a quirky twist, blending chunky deep tech flavours with glitchy fills, farfetched melodic elements and playful vox chops throughout. Besides its outlandishness, its core of groove-focused club-ready goodness provides a dynamic contrast and a unique selection for any packed dancefloor. Luke Dean’s ‘Sounding Different’ EP is available now on South Records.

Riding high off the back of one of his most prolific years to date, internationally celebrated DJ, producer and Joy Records label boss HEVI LEVI now looks to inaugurate 2023 with a worthy charitable musical initiative, as he unveils his latest multi-faceted project, Mad World. An impressive cover of Tears for Fears’ iconic 1983 hit single of the same name, Mad World is another showcase in forward-thinking electronic music from an artist who has carved out a reputation over the past few years as one of the most industrious and exciting talents on the international circuit. The new single is accompanied by a poignant new music video highlighting the desperate on-going plight of the Ukrainian people, following Putin’s illegal invasion of the country in February 2022. Released via HEVI LEVI’s very own Joy Records imprint, the single and music video release will be accompanied by the charitable sale of a run of newly designed ‘Mad World’ T-shirts, with all profits for the campaign being donated to UNITED24 – a global initiative which collects donations in support of Ukraine. Opening the cut with an absorbing vocal intro, HEVI LEVI makes his intentions known from the outset, as he builds towards an uncompromising blend of driving kicks, techy synths and exquisitely layered drum samples. A hard-hitting production that takes the iconic original into an altogether different realm, HEVI LEVI’s tenacity shines through in spades with this latest offering, as he adds to his flourishing career discography with another immense dancefloor weapon. Talking about the project, HEVI LEVI commented: We are living in a Mad World and a super confusing reality. It's not something we can solve by fighting it, we can do it only by showing others that they can use their time and energy to do beautiful things. This is the message of my Mad World project; create beauty, more art and less machines of war, more education to the next generations and less politics and arguments. More equality and less competition, more achievers and less winners. This is a Mad World but there is a tomorrow, let's make it a beautiful one. HEVI LEVI – Mad World is out now via Joy Records.

Eighteen months on from the release of his twelve-track Under Darkening Skies LP back in June 2021, famed German producer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Monolink now returns to one of the standout singles from his critically acclaimed sophomore album, as he enlists hotly-tipped, Berlin-based producer Sam Shure to provide his own unique take on Reflections. Set for worldwide release on Friday, December 9 via Embassy One, Sam Shure’s remix sees the Stil Vor Talent mainstay impart an intense, underground energy into Monolink’s original single, as he unravels a dark web of glitchy soundscapes and deep bass beneath Steffen Linck’s instantly recognisable topline, to create a trippy techno cut that’s already been doing some serious damage across international dancefloors this year. A staple in both artists’ live performances over the past few months, Sam Shure’s ability to captivate the listener with his forward-thinking sonic palette is second-to-none. Pairing adventurous, electronic sound design with highly experimental songwriting, his output is continuously developing as he adds new textures and layers to his hallmark; pushing his own creative boundaries each step of the way. Having lent his production expertise to Mind Against’s recent Fabric compilation with the majestic Particles, Sam remix of Reflections marks his eagerly anticipated inaugural outing on Embassy One, following an impressive run of career releases on the likes of Stil Vor Talent, MoBlack Records, Frau Blau and Radikon to name just a few. On the live front, the charismatic Berliner continues to channel an innate creativity into his versatile and captivating DJ sets. From Burning Man, WooMoon, Gardens of Babylon and Epizode Festival to hometown gigs at Watergate, KaterBlau and Sisyphos, Sam makes sure to cast a spell on his audience wherever he plays, with his very own definition of contemporary club music.
