Daydream 22 EP

Croisière Musique is back with an EP from Gibs, a wild Parisian back in his city after having lived in Bruxelles for some time. With this EP “You dirty little thing”, all sensuality of Gibs’ deep house with a minimal flavor fully flourishes in your ears and envelops you with its warmth.Rhythms remain stripped down and fitted with bouncy basslines which are strongly dance inductive, while the story tends to be narrated by the rich synths and pads reminding us of classical 80s/90s house sounds. Elaborate harmonies and synths lines cannot hide Gibs’ classical background as well as his taste for a wide range of musical styles. All tracks have several phases and atmospheres, starting anchored in the floor with a second part that introduces new synths, harmonies, modulations – an assembly of short musical moments akin to a sonata.Losing Control pays homage to the eponymous dbx track, but this time the feeling of anxiety has been replaced by a feeling of sweet decadence, the sensation of entering or exiting an orgy.SMGS,You dirty little thing and Nuisance all have this Croisière vibe, feeling of floating in the air or the sea, like an endless summer, tainted with a bit of melancholy, while the repetitive swinging drums make us dance continuously, combination making all those tracks trippy yet drivy.Music to make love or to dance to.

Nacho Marco drops Colors in Dub Vol.1—deep house soaked in warm analog dub. From the hypnotic “Midnight Blue” and its Satoshi Tomiie remix to the raw pulse of “Bumblebee Yellow” and “Electric Green,” this wax rides late-night frequencies straight from Valencia to Paris.

Philadelphia-based artist Eugene Chong drops his debut EP on House Puff with Spontaneous Synchronization EP. Marking his first official release, this four-track Deep House EP delivers punchy drums, groovy basslines, and lush synths, striking a balance between classic and forward-thinking sounds. It’s a natural fit for House Puff’s ever-evolving catalog. This record is built for late summer nights, smoky rooms, and dancefloorsthat never sleep.

Valencia meets London on wax! Nacho Marco beams down with Galaxy, a deep-space journey flipped by Jimpster into a cosmic dancefloor storm. Pure Phonogramme pressure — don’t sleep.

Radiant. The title of the 4th release from A_A contrasts with the EP’s delicate, sometimes opaque sonic landscape. Filtered-down kick, grainy lushness of pads, obscure noise, incoherent acapella, and bass that only exist below the frequency band of smartphone and laptop speakers, all contribute to the fiery stillness that drape over each of the 4 tracks included. While the new EP continue to be pinned by the duo’s signature leniency for noise and precise execution of sound design, it sets itself apart from the previous releases by successfully retaining the frail scent of uncontained, improvised performance while remaining firmly within the scope of floorcentric dance music. Limited to 250 copies.
