"Turbo Trip" by name, and a turbo trip it is. This track is squelchy, transcendent, and strikes that sweet spot between deep ambient house and techno. It’s dancefloor-focused - a trip, but with some oomph and turbo (still soft).

Today we’re highlighting a new track of his ‘The Sleeper Must Awaken’, off the Super Enjoy co-founder’s debut solo EP, ‘Mesmeric’. And mesmeric is a perfect word for the track. It’s dancefloor-focused with a hypnotic pull, an ambient touch, and deep, dusty, levitating basslines. Every track on the EP oozes personality. This is a refreshing new discovery, and definitely one to keep a close eye on for home listening or to get people moving.

Solar, appearing towards the end of the album, provides a slow, chugging, groovy vibe. Carried by crisp percussion, the track develops with a restrained attitude, element after element.

The warm afterglow of a weekend of music. Smoke filled rooms and comforting tones, all shades of ambient and beyond. This is what I played for my set on Sunday, the final day at our annual barn gathering.

This Morning is the ending track of Look Within, and while last, certainly not least. The haunting disembodied voice lays the groundwork for a deep and dark percussion line that picks up after a breathy start.

All of us. As each year passes, I appreciate more and more the mental haven that has developed. A space to relax, a platform to create. Focusing on moods and sounds that we listen to recover and unwind. Deeply personal, and a sonic window into the soul, the variety of guest mixes, and emotions covers the spectrum. I am so humbled to be able to release each and every entry.

Marking a new chapter in her musical career, Ena’s forthcoming self-release teases a darker, techno edge. She forgoes the light, melodic pads of the past and dives into the depths of a grittier, harder sound. Fernweh, our premiere for today is a slow burner, building tension with every beat.

Blueish-silver. A gentle pulse, propelled by subtle, distant soundscapes and everyday sounds captured. What they are I’m not sure, but they are certainly comforting and reassuring. The song is smooth—there are no sudden jolts or surprises, just a finely crafted track. Listen to it, then listen to it again, and again, it only gets better, as the details and new sounds reveal themselves with every listen.
