Francis Mercier, Frigid Armadillo, Luedji Luna 'Yara' on Deep Root Tribe

Francis Mercier links with Frigid Armadillo and Luedji Luna for a new single on Deep Root Tribe.

'Yara' is an Afro House track with a sense of mystery. The production is built on a driving rhythm and warm percussion, while Luedji Luna's vocals glide over the top with poise. The Extended Mix stretches things out further, giving the elements room to breathe and the groove space to lock in. Expect a track that works as well on a big sound system as it does in headphones.

The release marks the trio's first together on Deep Root Tribe since May 17, when Imamou landed. It's the label's 14th release of 2024 on Beatport, up to June 16.

Sébastien Léger 'Nations' on Lost Miracle

On his latest Lost Miracle outing, Sébastien Léger's "Nations" pulls together shimmering textures and subtle energy shifts for a cut that works best at extended moments in the set.

The release landed in early April as part of a run of catalogue activity on the label, marking the third 2024 Beatport outing for Lost Miracle and Léger's first return to the imprint since his March Kasiope Pt. 1.

The single is currently in his DJ chart (Panko Day !, 9 Jun), indicating the track is a current point of focus in his selections. With its patient build and refined palette, it continues the producer's recent pattern of releasing individual, standalone club tools designed for longer mix situations.

A new blaktone track, 'Paris,' found a home in Solomun's set at Pacha this weekend, in the middle of Ibiza's longest days of the year.

Salif Keita, Cesaria Evora, MoBlack, Franc Fala, Benja (NL) 'Yamore' on Universal Music Division Decca Records France

In case you missed the memo, Salif Keita and Cesaria Evora's 'Yamore' has been given a proper reworking by MoBlack, Franc Fala and Benja (NL). The result is something that brings a fresh wave of energy to the classic track.

The extended mix, released June 7th via Universal Music Division Decca Records France, takes the original's emotional resonance and layers it with a deep, hypnotic Afro House groove. It's respectful yet forward-thinking, keeping the power of Keita's vocals and Evora's presence at the heart of the record while the production adds a new kind of momentum.

The track has already found strong support, with Francis Mercier spinning it in his Yara radio show on June 13th. For fans of Afro House and those who appreciate a thoughtful rework, this is one to watch as the summer season continues to unfold.

Bákayan 'Mujer Inalcanzable' on Sounds Of Khemit

With the release of Sounds Of Khemit SOK029, we present 'Mujer Inalcanzable' by Bákayan, featuring a remix from Goyanu.

If you're chasing those sunset feelings, this one does the job. Organic house meets a certain lightness of touch, and the result feels both grounded and floating at the same time.

The original brings warmth and depth, but the Goyanu remix takes things further into the night. More shape, more shadow, more dancefloor intention.

This is the kind of record that works when the light is low and the energy is rising. Sounds Of Khemit continues to deliver music with roots and atmosphere.

SOK029 follows the label's steady flow of 2024 releases, adding another chapter to what has been a consistent year of organic sounds.

Tito Azevedo, Mrqz 'Borderline' on Sanctuary Music

Sanctuary Music's sixth release is 'Borderline' from Tito Azevedo and Mrqz, with a remix from Mila Journée.

The original is a peak-time affair, built around an elastic synth line that winds through the mix and tension that keeps the pressure on. Azevedo and Mrqz bring that European melodic sound with plenty of drive, sitting comfortably alongside the label's vision.

On remix duties, Mila Journée takes it deeper. She strips things back, lets the groove breathe and adds a hypnotic layer that works its way under the skin. The result is a version that feels more patient, more nocturnal, built for the later hours when the floor is locked in.

The release has already caught attention from Fideles, who featured the original in their 'See You In Dreams' mix back in May.

Just in time for the summer solstice, One Tribe Records brings us 'Y Que Tengo' by Nhii, HARJI and Mat Brooker.

Out on June 21st, this Afro House cut is a warm, grooving record with rich percussion and flowing vocals, holding a hypnotic energy that suits the longest days of the year.

Nhii, HARJI and Mat Brooker join forces for the release, which is out now on One Tribe Records.

Marco V, Thomas Newson 'CIDOLEM' on Epic247 Recordings

Marco V and Thomas Newson release new melodic house and techno effort "CIDOLEM" on Epic247 Recordings.

Marco V and Thomas Newson are on hand with a new record which is out on Epic247 Recordings. The release, "CIDOLEM," is in stores now and has just been included in Thomas Newson's latest chart.

"CIDOLEM" is a melodic house and techno record with a long, spacious breakdown, dark undertones and a stomping beat. There's a strong synth lead that grows through the track and works nicely alongside the groove. The production keeps its feet in the club while the melodic elements glide above the beat. The extended mix gives plenty of room for the tune to breathe and build over time in a mix.

The single is already gaining attention, with Newson charting it soon after release.

Milk & Sugar 'Let the Sun Shine' on Milk & Sugar

A summer-ready rework lands on Milk & Sugar as Joezi and Enzo Siffredi take on 'Let the Sun Shine', and the pair's Afro House pedigree is written all over it.

The Extended Sunset Mix does what it says on the tin. Warm percussion, rolling basslines and a groove built for golden hours. Joezi and Enzo Siffredi stretch the original out into a long, patient ride, pulling the track deeper into Afro House territory while keeping that uplifting vocal charge that made the original so effective.

It's the kind of record that makes sense the moment the sky starts changing colour.

§This is Milk & Sugar's 9th release of 2024 on Beatport, of 9 the label has put out this year up to 23 June 2024.
