Röyksopp, are a Norwegian electronic music duo from Tromsø formed in 1998. The duo consists of Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland. Berge and Brundtland were introduced to each other through a mutual friend in Tromsø, Norway. They enjoyed the same films and music, and shared an interest in electronics.

Blue Hawaii has spent over a decade perfecting their craft. The two met in 2009, at the heart of Montreal's burgeoning underground party scene. Finding their start with lo-fi bedroom recordings, they gradually evolved towards a more uplifting and dance forward sound. The essence of their work is threaded through the confident sanguine vocals and songwriting of Raphaelle “Ra” Standell-Preston, and the distinctive production of Agor "DJ Kirby". They uniquely assemble every aspect of their music together amidst an ocean of separation, with Agor in Berlin, and Ra in Montreal.
‘My Bestfriend's House' continues the joy of good feelings and togetherness that began with 'Under 1 House'. Themes of love and empathy are backed by chugging drums and hypnotic grooves, to enjoy on dance floors and in headphones worldwide. The EP’s first single – “L.O.V.E.” – is a disco-house, free-formed sizzler. Ra’s vocals are silky and powerful on top of a cheeky pulsing disco beat peppered with guitar and sax.
Reunited in August 2021, Agor and Ra wanted to finish the recording of a darker, downtempo full-length they had started in September of 2020. However, given the energy coming out of lockdown and the coincidental finding of an abandoned Yamaha DX27 synth, the... pair decided to put that introspective work on hold and instead whip out a good-vibed follow-up to their last release “Under 1 House”. The duo headed to a cabin north of Montreal but unfortunately had to return the same night during the year's worst rainstorm. The place was in a state of abandon, water running black, a back window smashed in, and an eerie haunted feeling that scared the band into fleeing. This continued to the point of believing a car was following them, their speed increasing to lose what they thought to be a ‘cabin highway chase’. In effect, the first week of their recording retreat was a disaster and, with both members disturbed and confused, the ensuing four songs came from a rapid-fire series of recording sessions in just over a week's time. Perhaps it is this condensed time frame that has made this collection of tracks so specifically electric. For the first time, they collaborated with the radiant songwriter and keyboardist Edwin de Goeij on the tracks “My Bestfriend’s House” and “Danced Into My Life”, who was also the coincidental finder of the illustrious synth. Longtime contributor, the saxophonist Adam Kinner, also graced the recording with his inspired playing on the track “L.O.V.E”.

Less rave, more revelation. Take a hike, have a listen, take a dive: slow waters are deep. Dandara is setting up the theme for these days and nights with this pristine collection of tracks. Watch the leaves have a walk and feel your feet moving on. Get Lost in Luise.

Modest techno for mindful people, second edition. Luise is glad to present Arutani‘s newest album, a true evolvement of its predecessor. Still true to he artist‘s handwriting, with a minimal and subtle character, hinting details and bold elements. However even more a unique listening experience and a statement on its own.

The enigmatic Kenny Dixon Junior, aka Moodymann, is one of the Detroit sound’s leading architects. Black Mahogani is the definitive Moodymann album, featuring the rarest & most sought after tracks from his early KDJ outings as well as some incredible new future classics.

The album features Amp Fiddler on vocals for "I’m Doing Fine", which is arguably Amp’s finest moment. Also featured are two Detroit jazz & soul legends; Norma Jean Bell and Roberta Sweed.

The pure soulful genius of this album will give it a more universal appeal than just Moodymann’s usual fans and should bring in an audience from a wide variety of genres including jazz, soul and R&B.

"Pulse VI is about a couple in a tempestuous kind of love affair, driving on an old German motorway, somewhere on the outskirts of Berlin, where we live. During the pandemic, we would just get in a car and drive around the old East and find all these ruined buildings and walk through them. It’s this mix of nostalgia for the past, coupled with a melancholy for the lengths that we would go to to feel anything at all." - Ed Kenny

Moby在今年发行的新专辑Wait For Me，凭借优柔的电音旋律，飘渺的人声小调获得不错的反应，之后Moby在10月份发行了这张Live De La Semaine的现场专辑，并以CD和DVD形式非正式发行。其中邀请了制作人好友Stphane Saunier担当开场和结尾的制作，自己其中送上了现场重新制作的7首新专辑歌曲，依然是以柔美的旋律作为基调，力图让现场的人们感受到更大的音响效果。
