Atura, Oscar Wallyn, Viiq — “Your Mind”

“Your Mind” finds Atura pushing his rising momentum further with a seamless blend of French house, disco flair, and hard groove intensity.

The track glides between slick, club-ready percussion and soulful melodies while weaving in a deeper emotional core, showing how Atura balances raw dancefloor energy with meaningful storytelling.

Already earning consistent support from tastemakers like Disclosure, Tchami, and Porter Robinson, the record cements his reputation as one of the most promising new names in global house music.

Control Room, AXON — “BASSLINE”

Control Room and AXON link up for “BASSLINE,” a dark bass house cut designed for maximum club impact. Built on hypnotic grooves, driving rhythms, and a clean low-end punch, the single highlights AXON’s bold sound design alongside Control Room’s instinct for high-energy arrangements.

The collab was sparked by a chance meeting in Miami earlier this year, leading to a track that feels raw, precise, and undeniably effective, commanding the dancefloor with stripped-back intensity and forward-thinking production.

Doriaan, Diego Hernan Milton Bo — “Green” (Aloft Remix)

Aloft, the side project of rising artist EddyThron, delivers a captivating rework of “Green” that seamlessly blends organic house, Afro house, and melodic house into a track that feels both reflective and dance-ready.

The remix builds on the spirit of the original while pushing into new territory, balancing intricate percussion, flowing textures, and emotive atmospheres with just enough low-end weight to energize the dancefloor.

Designed to be as versatile as it is moving, it thrives in late-night club settings, beachside sunsets, and long drives alike, moments where rhythm and introspection naturally collide.

On the remix, EddyThron shares: “I think this is the track I’ve finished the fastest in my entire life. The original was super inspiring, and I tried going a bit beyond the usual organic style I produce and went full-on daring mode.”

That boldness shows, as Aloft reimagines “Green” with refreshing nuance, layering deep grooves over immersive sound design in a way that feels timeless.

As an alias, Aloft represents EddyThron’s passion for calmer yet danceable music, influenced by visionaries like Tim Green and Sébastien Léger.

The project has already resonated strongly across South America, especially Argentina, where Aloft’s uplifting and organic aesthetic continues to captivate.
