OpenAir

Cezar Aragon and Mad Fuentes team up for 'AcerKte', an Afro House record that's getting serious heat from some of the scene's biggest tastemakers.

Already charted by HUGEL on his I Adore You Chart, the track landed in his DJ set at The Masquerade by Claptone at Amnesia Ibiza. That's a solid sign of where this one is heading.

The production pairs organic percussion with rolling basslines and vocal chants that just pull you in. There is something hypnotic in the rhythm. It's the kind of tune that builds slowly before releasing into pure dancefloor energy.

The label, Make The Girls Dance Records, keeps stacking strong releases. This one shows how much the imprint is pushing into Afro House territory.

Get Physical Music keeps the summer soundtrack coming with Makossa & Megablast and Cleydys Villalon's 'Cuerpo', out now on the label.

Organic House with a soulful twist, the original mix layers warm percussion, hypnotic bass and Cleydys Villalon's floating vocal lines. Everything breathes and builds, with a rolling breakdown that pulls the floor back in before the drums land again.

The package also comes with an Indie Disco Wobble Dub and remixes from Ottinger and FLAVOR, each taking the track into their own late-night territory.

This one marks the first Get Physical appearance for all three artists involved. Makossa & Megablast's last outing in the desk's records was on Stripped Down Records in September 2019 with the Kunuaka Remixes Part 2.

'Cuerpo' is out now on Get Physical.

Hernan Cattaneo and Marcelo Vasami are back, this time with a rendition that transforms East Cafe's 'Unmoving' into something for the late hours.

This one is for the heads. It arrives with a long, patient build, airy textures and rolling percussion that keep the floor suspended. As always with these two, it's less about peaks and more about depth, the kind of record that reveals itself gradually across a long set.

Warm, hypnotic and constantly moving beneath the surface. Perfect for the dawn slot. The release, out July 12th on Embliss Records, keeps the remix faithful enough to the original's mood while stretching it into new territories. Play it loud, play it long.

RÜFÜS DU SOL's Music is Better now gets the remix treatment, with Maxi Meraki reworking the track for Rose Avenue/Reprise.

The label released the original in June, and this new remix arrives in July. The release is Rose Avenue/Reprise's second on Beatport in 2024, with three releases out in total so far this year.

Maxi Meraki's version takes the track into Melodic House & Techno territory, focusing on hypnotic textures and a steady, driving pulse.

This week the remix was added to Gryffin's Playlist of the Week on Beatport. It also features on Tim Engelhardt's Mind Over Matter Chart.

'YAWA (One In A Million)' marks the release of LUCH and AVÖ (PT) on the Portuguese imprint Disposable.

'YAWA (One In A Million)' is a hypnotic afro-house cut that rides a warm, infectious groove. The track layers a rolling percussive rhythm with a soulful vocal hook that pulls you in from the opening bars. It's built for the moments when the sun is high and the crowd is in sync, but it carries enough weight for late-night floors too. Rich textures and steady momentum make it a versatile tool for DJs looking to bridge cultural rhythms and modern production.

Francis Mercier had this one on his radar early, supporting it in his Sauti chart on July 18th.

Menachem 26 and Headwaters deliver a fresh organic house cut on Kotori, arriving July 26th via the label's ATCK051 release.

'Pixel Desert' is the kind of record that pulls you straight into its own world. There's an earthy, steady pulse, warm organic textures, and a patient build that keeps the dancefloor suspended. Menachem 26 brings a subtle melodic touch, while Headwaters layers in the kind of hypnotic detail that rewards a proper sound system.

Kotori continues its streak of releasing forward-thinking organic house, and 'Pixel Desert' lands right in that sweet spot, deep enough for the purists, accessible enough for the main room.

Proton Music's new release for June comes from Paul Deep (AR) with the 'Odyssey' EP. The title track gets the remix treatment from Zankee Gulati, and that's the one Lost Desert has been spinning, charting it in his Summer Progress chart on July 30th.

The original 'Odyssey' is pure Paul Deep: deep, hypnotic and built for the long haul. It drifts through space with a slow-burning melody and a groove that stays locked. There's a patience to it that rewards the right crowd at the right hour.

Zankee Gulati's remix shifts the energy, adding a touch more drive and tension while keeping the original's core intact. It's a heads-down, eyes-closed record that works well in both open-air and afterhours settings.

'Odyssey' marks Paul Deep's first Proton Music release since his 'Eclectic' remix package back in May, and it continues his steady run of form on the label.

The new Alex Medina release Malpais on Sum Over Histories is a deep dive into hypnotic, melodic house and techno that locks you in from the first hit.

Frankey & Sandrino have been running the label as a home for textured, heady sounds, and this one keeps that run going. Medina brings a rich sense of storytelling in the arrangement. Warm pads, complex percussion and slow-burning tension that pulls across four tracks, each one carefully built for the mind as much as the floor.

With support from Rodriguez Jr. Already picking it up, Malpais feels like one of those records that will keep showing up across the summer.

The Deepshakerz land on Knee Deep In Sound with 'Now & Ever,' a deep dive into Afro House that's been catching ears in all the right places.

In the busiest weeks of the season in Ibiza and Mykonos, this one has been doing damage. Hot Since 82 has already shown it love on his SONEDO Chart, which tells you everything about where it fits: rolling drums, warm low-end, and a groove that works from warm-up to peak time.

The release marks The Deepshakerz's first appearance on the label in our records, following their May 2024 outing on Great Stuff Recordings. 'Now & Ever' is the 15th release Knee Deep In Sound has put out on Beatport this year as of early August.

Fiiasco and Joseph Kaz land on The Soundgarden with 'Careless', out July 26th.

This one has already earned a spot in Lost Desert's Summer Progress chart, and it's easy to hear why. Fiiasco and Joseph Kaz operate in the organic house world with real sensitivity, layering warm textures, airy percussion and a patient, unfolding arrangement. The mix lets every element breathe, setting up a heady atmosphere for the dancefloor or for summer listening.

Lost Desert's support is a nod to the track's understated strength, blending the deep, dusty tones of organic house with melodies that feel alive.

This is Fiiasco and Joseph Kaz's first appearance on The Soundgarden in our records. The label continues a strong 2024 run. The Soundgarden's release of 'Careless' marks its 15th Beatport release of the year.

'Leo' is a new track by artist Neumateria, released on August 2nd via Einmusika Recordings.

The release is catalog number EINMUSIKA286. It's a Melodic House & Techno record. It was charted by Innellea in his chart for 'I Won't Go (HITS HITS HITS)' on the same date, August 2nd.

Einmusika Recordings has so far put out 19 releases on Beatport in 2024, up to August 4th. This is the 19th of those.

This appears to be Neumateria's first appearance in the desk's records. No further biography is on file.

Toolroom Trax's 27th release of 2024 on Beatport is Javi Reina, Jesus Fernandez and Daveartt's Noche y Día, which was released on July 26. It was charted by James Hype on 29 July in his Surviving Summer Chart.

This Afro House track is a proper summer record, with warm percussion and a slick guitar line that carries the groove. The Extended Mix gives plenty of room for the drums to breathe, keeping the energy rolling at a pace that works both on terraces and in peak-time sets.

It marks the artists' first release on Toolroom Trax in our records; previously we have them on SPINNIN' RECORDS from March 2024 for Yo Quiero Una Nena (Jesús Fernández Remix) [Extended Mix].

Here's a first listen to the new single from Afterlife regular Cassian, his first for the label since March, out August 2nd.

'Dun Dun' is one of those tracks that wastes no time. From the first bar, the kick lands, the bass follows, and the build starts climbing. Cassian works the tension with precision, adding layers and pulling them back just when it feels like the lid's about to blow. It's a peak-time weapon that knows exactly when to breathe.

This is melodic house and techno with a sharp edge. The drums have weight, the synth stabs hit clean and the arrangement keeps its focus on the floor. It arrives as Afterlife Records' eighth Beatport release of 2024, and it holds its own in a run of strong material from the imprint. Cassian's first Afterlife drop since March's 'Genesys II,' this one is built for the big rooms and the long nights.

Innellea is already on it, picking 'Dun Dun' for his 'I Won't Go' chart (HITS HITS HITS, August 2). When the producers are circling it early, you know it's working.

Bedrock Records has a new release out now from Masaya CH.

John Digweed has charted 'Gabriel' in his Summer Chart 2024 (26 July 2024), and it sits as one of the key tracks in the set.

The release marks Masaya CH's first on Bedrock Records since his Quattro III EP of 2 December 2022, a gap of about 20 months.

A hypnotic, deep, progressive builder, 'Gabriel' unfolds with rolling percussion, a chugging bassline and warm pads, made for the late-night floors Digweed and Masaya CH inhabit.

This is the 15th release Bedrock Records has put out on Beatport in 2024 so far.
