Following the success of Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Cosmocities returns with the third instalment of its celebrated compilation series dedicated to the rich and ever-evolving world of Japanese electronic music. Compiled by label owner Matt Soulie, Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 3 continues the journey through Japan’s diverse sonic landscape, bringing together pioneering artists, cult favourites and contemporary innovators across ambient, house, jazz-infused electronics and experimental sound design.

Since its inception, the Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku project has paid tribute to a musical culture that has profoundly influenced the Cosmocities vision. Where the first volume explored dreamy ambient textures and deep electronic moods, and the second shifted focus towards boogie-laden rhythms and jazz-fuelled dancefloor excursions, Volume 3 finds a natural balance between introspection and movement.

The compilation opens with Yosi Horikawa’s sublime “Bubbles”, an ambient masterpiece whose delicate organic textures gently set the tone. Chari Chari’s “Luna de Ritmos” follows with deep, ethereal house atmospherics before Force Of Nature’s hypnotic “Skyy High” guides listeners further into immersive territory.

The journey continues through the experimental electronics of XTAL’s “Skygazer” and the analogue warmth of Takuya Matsumoto’s “Jump Rope Music”, while regular Cosmocities contributor Yuu Udagawa delivers the sophisticated high-tech jazz house groove of “Little Secrets”.

On the second half of the collection, Kuniyuki’s remix of Slow Didi’s “Follow Me” brings rich jazz-inflected elegance, leading seamlessly into the futuristic techno-swing fusion of DJ Eiji Takehana featuring Yusuke Nakamura’s “Deep Track Jazz”. Tominori Hosoya’s “Summer Dreamers” adds a deeply emotional and dreamlike house moment before Azzurro’s “Just A Touch Of Love” shifts the focus firmly towards the dancefloor with a hypnotic late-night thumper.

Closing the compilation is AcidGelge’s “Fatality 4”, a beautifully spacey and atmospheric finale that leaves the listener suspended somewhere between the club, the cosmos and the imagination.

A carefully curated snapshot of Japanese electronic music past and present, Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 3 once again showcases the depth, innovation and enduring influence of one of the world’s most inspiring musical cultures.

We welcome back Icaro Mana of Brazil, a producer that we've continued to follow over the past couple years ever since he released his excellent remix with us in 2024 for Carlos Castro and Beto Ruve's single 'Day By Day'.

This time around, Icaro Mana gives Matt Prehn's 'More & More' a slightly deeper and groove-led treatment with Olivia Sebastiao's soulful vocal at the heart of the arrangement in the breakdown , surrounding it with a warmer, more stripped-back house framework that gradually builds the energy through subtle layers, rolling low-end, and atmospheric textures. It's got a smooth, rolling feel that keeps the original song's soulful character intact, but shifts the emphasis toward the groove and the deeper side of house.

Release title: Day and Night EP

Label: Esuoh

Release date: 04-Sep-26 (Beatport Exclusive)

Esuoh welcomes Julius Strieder for his debut on the label with his Day And Night EP. Rather than chasing big moments or obvious tricks, Julius lets groove, feel and the finer details lead the way across four original cuts. It's a simple approach, but one that speaks for itself—music made for the dancefloor, with personality and nothing unnecessary.

Opening the release, "Day And Night" sets the tone with an addictive loop and understated vocal touches, pointing the way for everything that follows.

"Just A Little Groove" blends chopped disco-funk flavours with effortless swing, letting the groove carry the track from beginning to end.

With a little more pace, "Disco Invasion" brings extra drive while staying true to the spirit of the EP.

Closing the release, "Sculptura" lets every element breathe, allowing groove, space and carefully placed vocal touches to shape a natural ending to the EP.

Four tracks, one shared philosophy—letting groove do the talking.

South London duo Meridian return to The Disco Express with I Wanna Be, a three-track EP that sees Russell Harris and Louis Grandjean pushing their electronic sound further than ever before.

Across three very different productions, Meridian move effortlessly between French house, acid-tinged club music and euphoric vocal house, showing their versatility as creators, musicians and producers.

Opening the EP is Phil’s French House, and the title really does tell you everything you need to know. Filtered strings sweep in and out over a pumping bassline, funky string parts and classic house keys, building a huge, rolling groove that wears its French house influences proudly. Think the filtered energy of Stardust and Cassius, but with Meridian’s own modern production edge.

Bookie takes things somewhere altogether grittier. A filthy acid bassline sits at the centre of the track, surrounded by twitching electronics, chunky drums and a slightly off-kilter garage house feel. It’s darker, nastier and a little more unpredictable - the sort of track that catches you off guard when it lands in a DJ set. Proper head-nod material.

I Wanna Be closes the EP and brings Meridian’s most immediate and accessible side to the surface. Built around the vocal hook “I wanna be right where you are”, classic piano chords, filtered sweeps and an arpeggiated synth line come together to create something warm, euphoric and instantly memorable. There’s a real hands-in-the-air quality here - the kind of record made for festival sunsets, summer nights and sharing with the people you came to dance with.

For fans of Disclosure, Fred again.., French house, UK garage and melodic electronic music with a proper groove, I Wanna Be shows Meridian continuing to blur the lines between underground club music and those big, memorable moments that stay with you.

Three tracks. Three sides of Meridian.
