Remixes and originals in the same route The Residents places Lena Storm within a sequence where reinterpretations of other projects sit alongside pieces credited directly to her. The opening links “Ipanema”, an extended remix of Cosmonaut and K...
The fastest cut arrives third: 'Anlecta', 126 BPM in G-flat minor, and from there the album only descends — an eighteen-BPM slide down to the 108 of 'Snow'. Anyone playing 'Higher Note' front to back will notice it...
No DJ would program a set like this: 130, 115, 132, 106, 128, 143, 124, 88. The tempo curve of 'VICTOR' doesn't draw a ramp, it draws an EKG — and that's the statement of intent. This is Victor Ruiz's debut album, released...
Seventy beats per minute against one hundred and forty-six. 'Bella' opens 'New Life' at 70 BPM in A-flat minor, a half-time pulse that gives away nothing of what follows: the other nine cuts cluster between 139 and 146. Ellen...
Seventeen tracks with a clear center of gravity: twelve sit in major keys, only five drop into minor. Synths & Notes Vol. 11 skews upward almost the whole way through, and you can see it on the key map before you press play. The record opens in...
The record opens with three minutes and thirty-seven seconds and almost closes with seven forty-nine. 'Where It Goes' and 'Chromium' are the duration poles of 'Dreams Stretched Beyond', more than double apart, and that...

It is no accident that 'Get It' closes the session: it is signed by Nopopstar alongside Elbrus, and Nopopstar — a DJ and producer active since 2011, per his own profile — co-owns UNCLES MUSIC, the label he founded with Eugene Jay. The boss...
'My Mood' by Robin Masters Orchestra stretches out to 12:52; the Disco Dub Stephane Deschezeaux signs on 'Just for Tonight' gets the job done in 4:01. The whole of House of Disco Vol. 9 arranges itself between those poles: on one...
'Wet, Hot American Dream' by Ava Max opens the selection, and it didn't land there by accident: Atlantic released the single on July 1, 2025 as the third cut from 'Don't Click Play', timed around Max's slot on...
Two consecutive cuts in Ab minor open 'SkyFall Summer 2026', and that choice already sets the weather: SkyTop's summer doesn't start under full sun but at dawn. Ver-dikt and Andy Dav's 'It's All Right'...
Fifty tracks spanning 120 to 134 BPM aren't meant to be played front to back: they're meant to be sorted. Read from the booth, 'Glasgow Underground Ibiza 2026' covers every stretch of the night, and the keys do a lot of the heavy...
Ten major keys against four minors, and the minors placed with intent: that is how the map of 'Analog Frequency, Vol. 1' reads — fourteen cuts of melodic house & techno and indie dance on Variety Music. Safe Connections'...
Six tracks and a curve that refuses to behave. 'Tang Ping', the opener from Damia and Luka Lucescu, starts at the top: 130 BPM in B major, a long five minutes that set the record's ceiling right away. From there, the seventh...
Four BPM separate the slowest cut from the fastest on this ninth volume: Aliot's 'Just A Beat' turns at 122 while Nau Leone's 'Goodbyes' and K1CHE's 'Rainbow' top out at 126. With the tempo band that...
