Some days ago, two upfront producers from Greece, GummiHz and Nikola Gala have release their new EP “Sapfo EP” on the German young label Claap. Indeed, on its first installment, claap001 features a collaboration between two of Greece's finest exports in house and techno: label owner GummiHz and Nikola Gala offer a 3 tracker that’s bound to make floors shake. Three wonderful and mature tracks including elements spanning from jazz to ethnic to a total mind trip! That’s exactly what we like at Actualites Electroniques to relax.

After his excellent EP with "Farao" and "Sphinx", John Dahlback is back with a new track, influenced by Egyptian rhythms. "Kairo" has just been aired a few minutes ago on the Soundcloud account of the Swedish DJ. It is resolutely in the tradition of hisprevious productions. This extract is unfortunately rather short but still uses waves of synthesizers that create an electro atmosphere. Properly produced, the track should be a hit in the nightclubs.

New release of the young Belgian label Union Match Music, "Sequoia" is an EP produced by the great man Compuphonic. The EP that will be released with remixes of Glimpse and Lee Jones should quickly enter the charts of many DJs, including me! These productions that operate in a deep and minimal atmosphere will satisfy all the lovers of these styles. Supported by Damian Lazarus, Nick Curly or Simon Baker, this EP is about emotions. The tracks that you can already hear on the Union Match Music Soundcloud will be released officially on December 15.

During the interview of one the most famous German DJ and producer Thomas Schumacher a few days ago, Thomas told us that Emerson Todd was “one of the biggest talents in town. His musical taste is flawless and he is a kick ass sound engineer. Listen to his stuff and you will know what I mean”.  So what is more natural than to interview him? This interview follows notably the one of Rodriguez Jr. and M.A.N.D.Y.. So, first of all, I would like to thank Emerson who answers our questions. Have a good reading!

«Open your eyes», not ears to hear what there is to see - just one of the many paradoxes Mainz-based Butch manages to merge with verve. Indeed, the German producer Butch will release on November 17th his new album «Open Your Eyes». Received as a promo, this album captures the duality of his sounds that oscillate between under and over, techno and house, spirituality and marketability, club and home stereo, to celebrate the everyday high and question it at the same time. The man we discovered with his first track «On the line» in 2007, has not finished to surprise us.

Skrillex is the man of the moment. With an undoubted current success on Beatport with 8 tracks in the top 10, he continues to break records with a genre that goes up: the dubstep. Thus, Beatport published a few days ago the following lines: "Beatport Hot off the press, it's true: just in time for this weekend's costume contests, Skrillex's 'Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites' EP holds a record 8 out of 10 chart positions on our overall Top 10, including #1 - the first time dubstep tracks have made it into the Top 10, and the first time a DJ or producer's entire release has completely stormed the chart”. Skrillex is the purpose of all superlatives.
