Carlo Whale maps his sonic universe with Echoes of You
Carlo Whale presents Echoes of You, a personal chart that works both as an artistic statement and as a snapshot of the finest melodic house & techno the scene has to offer right now. The selection opens with the title track alongside TH;EN on the NOW label: 128 BPM in Eb Minor crafting a dense, cinematic atmosphere loaded with the dramatic tension the Italian producer has made his signature. It sets the tone for everything that follows.
Labels and artists shaping the landscape
The chart pulls no punches in terms of pedigree. Massano and Silver Panda deliver «Pa Ca» via Simulate Recordings, one of the duo's most compelling efforts — a hypnotic groove in B Major that refuses to let go. Diynamic enters twice through the indie dance lane: «Higher» by ID ID & Greggio and Notre Dame's closing «No Rules» at 124 BPM, both offering textural relief and emotional breadth to the overall arc.
Standout tracks
- Hot Sauce (Extended) – Kapuchon, Miss Monique, GLZ: The chart's most ambitious collaboration. At 129 BPM in Gb Major, AETERNA Records delivers a multi-layered synth workout that builds with real conviction.
- Don't Worry Baby – Tiga & Dom Dolla: The wildcard. At 132 BPM of straight tech house in G Major via Three Six Zero Recordings, it injects raw dancefloor energy and breaks the melodic palette at precisely the right moment.
- Hypnotic – Fancy Inc: Catch & Release at its best. Gb Major, 128 BPM, and an arrangement that earns its title without resorting to cheap tricks.
Taken as a whole, Echoes of You is an honest, well-balanced chart — emotionally resonant yet firmly rooted in the dancefloor — and a clear reflection of a producer with a distinctive voice within the European melodic techno scene.
