Copenhagen's underground electronic scene has developed a quiet infrastructure of volunteer-run community stations that broadcast from the city's clubs and culture houses, turning their spaces into radio stations by day and functioning as the primary connective tissue for how underground artists develop and get heard.

BRAVE TRAX releases CLOSER VA, a five-track house and techno compilation featuring Poly Chain, Gavnlig, Pocket Candy, DJ Estrella, and Braver with artists picked from the orbit of one of those community stations; Radio Panini.

"Honestly I just put all the feels in this one. My new EP is inspired by my love for Detroit I wanted to write tracks that honour the Legends of the city with basslines that reminisce the broken beats sound of London reliving my excursions in the back streets of the Big Smoke. I used the instruments of SH101 Roland 909’s and Juno 106 as well as my field recording of a Sicilian thunderstorm with the intent of distinguishing my signature sound. "

We’re delighted to release our first vinyl record on the label since 2023 featuring NINA, a rising UKG/Dub prodigy that will sell out fast. NINA has steadily built a reputation as a forward-thinking solo artist, dropping highly sought-after records with a distinct sound and craftsmanship that set him apart. Just one year in, NINA has released on labels such as Innamind Recordings, 20/20 LDN & Locus Sound. This new chapter is a pure distillation of that journey - a sound informed by dub, garage, grime, and soundsystem pressure.

Internal Makeup Features four bass driven club tools that are minimal, weighty and focussed on sub. Opening with ‘World Is On Fire’, the only 4x4 track on the record, NINA sets the mood with a cavernous dub-techno jam and spaced out vocals. The rest of the record hits firmly in UK Bass territory, with stripped compositions that focus on bass-weight and a strong Bristol influence. Finally the EP is closed off with digital bonus track ‘Backshot (Dub)’.

Words from NINA: "This EP came together slowly and surely over the space of about a year. I wanted to encapsulate my true sound which can be extremely versatile which is why there is a bit of everything on there. from techno to garage to dubstep."

The Austrian imprint Fortunea Records took a little break to fill up their batteries and comes back now this summer with a release by the Bavarian duo Decent Rides. They are around for a couple of years and are also the masterminds behind the label Interloot Records.

On the ‚Like We Do‘ EP they are your guides for a versatile house infiltrated tour. The title-track is an energetic floorfiller with modulated synth sequences and heart stomping drum patterns. Definitely the killer app on this wax.

The second track on the A-side features the tune ‚Mind Maze‘. A funky bouncing bassline, reverberant almost siren sounding tones, staccato vocal samples and high accentuated hats make you blister your feet from your high intensively dance moves.

On track B2, the duo adds further "Colours" to the record. This melancholic deep house tune exudes a beautiful, somber, and yet captivating atmosphere that is impossible to resist. This track could be very effective when played during sunrise or sundown.

And finally, they round off this release with cosmic dub sounds and shimmering chords. "Lembo" invigorates the senses. Every beat on this tech house track is an invitation to let go and feels you the pulse of the underground scene.

Original Funk Band from Paris, Jéroboam, have had only 3 years on the scene but they are already considered as one of the most exciting and essential new voices in contemporary soul funk! A true manifesto for live music and the dancefloor, this eleven-piece live machine hits the stage like a juggernaut and doesn’t just play funk, they eat, sleep, live and breathe it.

After a slew of certified underground releases on Space Grapes and Chuwanaga, which have been supported worldwide by tastemakers and connoisseurs, Jéroboam is now presenting its long awaited first LP on Favorite Recordings. From boogie-funk to two-step soul, Jéroboam delivers eight heartfelt songs that combine razor-sharp composition with genuine and relatable lyrics.

Achieving such an exciting and challenging piece of work is the outcome of a long and inspiring process started more than 10 years ago in Paris. From their early beginnings on the local scene, the core musicians of Jéroboam thrived on their mutual love for funk music under the name and concept of Echoes Of. Under this previous moniker they already established themselves as a formidable live act with their popular tribute parties to the American cities of funk, held between Paris (Funk & The City at New Morning) and London (South London Soul Train Party at Peckham's Bussey Building). Their extensive live schedule also includes the acclaimed Echoes Of Prince show and high-profile collabs with 80's boogie legends Howard Johnson and Junior Giscombe, till the most essential partnership with Kyoto Jazz Massive, which got them touring Europe and recording with Shuya Okino and Vanessa Freeman as the Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra.

Building on these priceless experiences and expanding its line up over the years, the band has been able to sharpen its sound, craft a distinctive identity and create its own original music under a brand-new entity – Jeroboam. This momentum culminates in their debut full-length album, set for release in June 2026 on Favorite. A defining moment for one of Europe’s most vital modern funk acts.

Deltapark is your music sanctuary, a space for tranquility, drift, ambiance, and retreat.

As the first label to release music under the new alias of multi-instrumentalist Sascha Hodler, also known as Josh Saxer, we are proud to present a deeply meditative listening experience. This release is a carefully crafted invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a more introspective, immersive state.

Known as the creative force behind a wide range of projects, including Jon Donson, Jøorg, Dreksler & Haerle, Kamil Tiger, and KFM Live, Saxer now turns his focus toward depth, stillness, and emotional resonance. Our previous collaboration with him on our sister label LQL, featuring a Franco Pauletti remix, revealed a vast and inspiring body of work. His archive feels less like a hard drive and more like a treasure chest filled with countless ideas, sketches, and sonic moments. Diving into it was both a privilege and a journey of discovery.

With a vinyl release by Josh planned for 2027, this EP sets the tone and opens the door into his world, shaped in his Altstadt studio in Bern, where sound and atmosphere merge into something deeply personal.

This collection features four tracks from different creative phases, all mastered by Moomin.

Enjoy the reflection. Close your eyes. Stop thinking, and start feeling.

Partyfine proudly presents ‘Hey, Ubaruh!’. It’s the debut album from the Brazilian duo of the same name, a kaleidoscopic journey through psychedelic dance music, Balearic warmth, and the unmistakable pulse of Brazil’s contemporary electronic scene. Since 2013, Yuksek’s imprint has championed boundary pushing artists like Frank Agrario, Dombrance, Fatnotronic, Bertrand Burgalat, The Magician, Alex Metric, and Jean Tonique. Now Ubaruh now steps confidently into that lineage with their most ambitious work to date.

A Brazilian duo with a global pulse, Ubaruh is the creative partnership between São Paulo producer Phillipi Alves (Fatnotronic / DEEWEE) and multi instrumentalist Emmo Martins (Monterno / Bamba Music). Their name comes from “O Barulho” meaning the noise — a nod to the long standing friendship and sonic curiosity that fuels their project. Across their early releases from “Pinche Funky Disco” (on Multi Culti) to “Ubaruh Theme” (Partyfine) and the acclaimed “Onda Frisson EP” (Cocada Records), the duo has carved out a signature sound of fat, organic basslines, hypnotic guitars, heavy percussion, acid leaning synths, and a free spirited, cosmopolitan approach to dance.

‘Hey, Ubaruh!’ is eleven tracks of psychedelic dancefloor alchemy and a vibrant fusion of wild textures, Balearic breeziness, and refined, contemporary production. Anchored by real bass and guitar lines, R&B inflected vocals, and a deep percussive backbone, the record moves effortlessly between Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms, cosmic disco, acid house, and sun drenched electronic grooves. Each track feels like a postcard from a different corner of the duo’s universe - from late night club hypnosis to open air beach euphoria.

Partyfine’s mission has always been to cultivate a family of musicians who collaborate freely, blending their influences and creative instincts. ‘Hey, Ubaruh!’ embodies that philosophy: bold, colourful, and unafraid to experiment while remaining irresistibly danceable. The album stands as a celebration of independence, community, and the global language of rhythm — a perfect fit for a label that continues to curate “just good music for a better world.”

"Hybrid" is a high-octane Hip House record that bridges the gap between two genres. Originally a 110 BPM scratch track, the record was transformed after JordanLivinGood attended Winter Music Conference (WMC). Inspired by the legends playing the mainstage, the tempo was increased to 120 BPM to capture the elite club energy of the season.

The organic buzz is already proven: a demo upload to SoundCloud garnered 20+ repeat listeners in just 48 hours. With one listener listening 29 times in a week, the total repeat listener rate is 13.19%. This is a follow-up to the single "Prototype" (which earned support from Radio Z, Ilario Alicante, and many more). Hybrid is positioned to be a breakout Hip House anthem for 2026.

Artist Quote - "When I was creating this record, I couldn't stop playing and dancing to the song. The way this song came together was perfect, and it brings me so much joy. - JordanLivinGood (Artist)"

Nicodemo returns to Alzaya Records with You Are Sleeping, a five-track EP investigating suspended perceptual states through a restrained sonic language rooted in leftfield house and dub-informed spatial construction.

Rather than following a conventional club structure, the record unfolds as a gradual modification of listening conditions. Time appears slightly extended, spatial references soften, and vocal fragments function less as narrative elements than as residual signals circulating within the mix.

The title track introduces the EP’s mood: a steady but understated rhythmic frame supporting displaced vocal presences and delayed harmonic responses. Echo Phase develops this approach further through layered reflections and recursive spatial treatment, while 'Minor Haze' reduces structural clarity in favour of tonal suspension and diffuse harmonic motion.

On the B-side, Domenico Rosa’s reinterpretation of 'You Are Sleeping' shifts the material toward a more explicitly club-oriented framework while preserving its perceptual instability, and Aldonna’s version of 'Echo Phase' treats the original as memory material and stretching and reframing its echoes into a more abstract temporal field.

Across the EP, rhythm remains present but never directive. Instead, the record proposes a listening environment in which orientation gradually loosens without collapsing entirely.

The Da Graca Brothers tore through the neon-slicked vacuum of the Outer Rim, their modified spacecraft vibrating with the subsonic pulse of a deep house bassline that could rattle a nebula. They weren't just pilots; they were interstellar renegades on a permanent tour, trading laser fire for soul and bringing the heat to every backwater colony in need of a rhythm—or a rescue. With blasters drawn and a swagger that suggested Han never had to go it alone, they navigated the chrome-and-shadowed depths of the galaxy, a two-man vanguard defending humanity against the encroaching dark with nothing but heavy beats and high-velocity defiance.
