Artist: Caju Sessions

Track: Rua do Sol

Label: Raio Laser

Release title: UmSonho Bom

Release date: 30-Oct-26

Caju Sessions offer up their ‘Um Sonho Bom’ EP via Raio Laser, featuring a collaboration with Ignacio and Ina Magdala.

Brazilian duo Caju Sessions unveil ‘Um Sonho Bom’, a four-track EP on RAIO LASER, bringing together deep house grooves, organic percussion and warm melodic textures with a distinct sense of place. Joined by producer Ignacio on the title track and Ina Magdala on vocals, the project captures the label’s vision for contemporary house music rooted in Brazilian musical identity.

Shaped by the atmosphere of Southern Brazil, ‘Um Sonho Bom’ draws on the region’s coastal spirit, weaving clean, reverb-soaked guitars through supple rhythms and inviting melodies. Subtle nods to the beach and surf culture of the 90s lend the material a laid-back charm, with its Brazilian character coming through naturally in the instrumentation, rhythmic detail and warmth of the productions.

Across the four tracks, Caju Sessions explore instrumental, groove-led arrangements, giving the percussion and melodic elements room to breathe while maintaining a firm connection to the dance floor. The title track opens this sound into a vocal setting, with Ina Magdala’s contribution bringing a more intimate, expressive dimension to the collaboration with Ignacio. ‘Um Sonho Bom’ offers a clear reflection of the direction RAIO LASER continues to develop musical, contemporary house from Brazil with the scope to connect internationally while retaining the character of the place it comes from. Warm, understated and built around enduring grooves.

Artist: Barry Sound

Track: Mar

Label: Dualism Records

Release date: 23-OCt-26

Barry Sound makes his Dualism Records debut with Mar, a two track journey into Deep House at its most elegant, warm and alive.

Rooted in the classic sound of the genre and shaped by influences from Jazz, Acid and Classic House, Mar brings a timeless aesthetic into the present through rich textures, dynamic percussion and basslines in constant motion. This is Deep House with depth and movement at its core, music that makes you want to dance while taking you somewhere deeper.

The title track Mar leads the way with a more energetic pulse, layering shimmering textures and fluid rhythms into a vibrant, dancefloor ready groove. Incomprension takes a slightly more introspective route, keeping the same positive energy and organic movement while inviting the listener to sway with the music.

Hailing from Mérida, Yucatán, Barry Sound has been developing his sound since 2019, building a distinctive approach to Deep House informed by Jazz, Acid and Classic House. His music has found a home on labels including House Salad Music, House Cookin Records and Wareblues, while his DJ project has taken him through clubs across Mexico and into vinyl, digital and hybrid sets through his own collective, Discos Too.

Track: How Far is Timeless

Label: Feedasoul Records

Release date: 16-Oct-26

We can sit here and write on all these memories, but in its simplest form, from a small town in a small room, we did something really cool, we highlighted music we loved, with as much passion and the best way we could. We kept it deep, funky and soulful all the way throughout, never compromising what we believed in and always trying to help artists around our region and beyond its borders.

We didn’t really know where it would go. We just knew we wanted to hear more of this music around us. We wanted to give the people making it somewhere to put it. And somehow, ten years later, we’re still here. Still listening and still digging.

For our 10th anniversary, we wanted to come back to where it all began.

The words come from a sign that still stands in the old souk of Byblos, put there by the municipality after two of Feedasoul’s founders were playing music in the souk all summer.

At the time, it was a joke. Now, looking back, it feels almost too perfect.

A little sign asking us to be quiet, in the very place where we were trying to make some noise.

So we kept the words, making it our own. 15 tracks. 15 artists. All from the Arab world. Some have been with us for years. Some are joining the family for the first time.

We’re honoured and proud to have every single one of them on this record. This milestone is theirs as much as ours.

Different countries, different sounds, different stories - but all coming from the same part of the world that has given us so much music, friendship and inspiration over the years. This record is not a summary of ten years.

It couldn’t be. It’s just a snapshot of where we are, where we came from, and the people carrying it forward.

From Jbeil, with love. 10 years of music.

Artist: Mike Nasty

Track: Down The Ave

Release Title: Endless Groove

Label: Nasty Tracks

Cat No: NT024

Format: Digital & Streaming

Release Date: 16-Oct-26

Buy / Pre-Order: https://mikenasty.bandcamp.com/album/endless-groove

Seven tracks. Five originals, two dubs. Deep house built on Rhodes chords and jazz voicings, with the R&B harmony that gives the genre its warmth — the vocabulary that carried out of '70s jazz-funk into Chicago basements and never really left. Larry Heard, Kerri Chandler, Moodymann, Theo Parrish: less a list of references than the grammar the record is written in.

Endless Groove takes its title seriously. These are tracks built to run rather than resolve — arrangements patient enough to let a chord sit, turn over, and come back around slightly changed. House that works at low volume on a Sunday afternoon and at full weight on a Saturday night, which is the tradition it comes out of.

The two dubs, "Wanna Dance" and "Down the Ave," are stripped to their frames for the back half of a night, intended for DJs. Led by singles "Infinite Jazz" and "Wanna Dance." Out 16 October 2026 on Nasty Tracks.

Artist: Gene Siewing

Track: The Kingdom Of Heaven (Warehouse Cut)

Release title: The Kingdom Of Heaven

Label: Intent Recordings

Format: Vinyl

Buy link: https://genesiewing.bandcamp.com/album/the-kingdom-of-heaven-feat-joy-storm

The Kingdom Of Heaven feat. Joy Storm arrives as a deep, late-night transmission from Gene Siewing and Intent Recordings. A record rooted in the language of house but shaped by something more introspective and timeless.

At its center is Joy Storm, hailing from Chicago, bringing a powerful, expressive vocal presence that cuts through the haze with both strength and vulnerability, a reminder of where this music comes from and what it’s always been about.

Across four cuts, the release moves between soulful warmth, raw warehouse pressure, and spaced-out 2-step motion, like shifting through different rooms of the same memory. There’s a sense of nostalgia here, but not as imitation, more like fragments of the ’90s reassembled through a modern lens, where jazz harmony, garage swing, and deep house textures blur into one continuous atmosphere.

What lifts the record even further is the live element woven into its core: Martin

Stumpf’s fluid, organic basslines and Carly Quiroz’s piano solo bring a human depth that pulls the music beyond programming into something more alive, more breathing. These moments don’t sit on top of the tracks; they dissolve into them,

reshaping the emotional weight of the whole release.

The A-side leans into soulful, jazz-infused energy and classic 4/4 movement, while the B-side pushes deeper into stripped, rolling pressure and dubbed-out rhythm experiments. At its core, the record feels less like a collection of tracks and more like a journey through different emotional states of the dance floor, from early

evening reflection to 4am abstraction.

Made in Berlin but reaching far beyond it, The Kingdom of Heaven is both grounded and searching. It's a reflection of something internal as much as external, where the idea of “heaven” feels less like a place and more like a state of being
