With Summer 2017 just around the corner, international trendsetters and globetrotters alike will inevitably find themselves at Nikki Beach soaking up the sun in over 15 locations worldwide including Thailand, Ibiza, Greece, Dubai, USA, France and Monaco. To soundtrack your hedonistic summer, the 2CD Nikki Beach 'Summer Vibes' compilation brings two exclusive mixes packed with some of the finest seductive tracks 2017 can offer. The first 'Day' mix on CD1 illuminates a more day time feel, while the 'Night' mix on CD2 satisfies a deeper club feel.

This one goes out to all you lovers out there... With their love of good house and techno brimming over with each release, every day is Valentine's Day at Pets HQ. So when Black Loops sent them '4 The Lovers' the label cats (and dogs) knew it would be a perfect fit for a debut. With its walking bassline, dreamy flurries and sultry spoken word, '4 The Lovers' melts the stoniest of hearts and sets the scene for the sweet soiree that follows... 'Where My Girls At' continues the racy theme as the Italians-in-Berlin who've been building a smouldering reputation for the last four years on labels such as Toy Tonics, Neovinyl and Gruuv lay down a persistent kickdrum smooth talk, thumping and bumping as the swooning filtered pads add layers of allure. 'Blomst', meanwhile flutters its come-to-bed eyes with hip-rattling percussive scratches, a plucked bouncy bassline and blushing chords that climax in style. Finally we find true romance with 'Soulsista'. The sonic soulmate you never knew you needed, its deep dubby bassline slinks and purrs over jacking Chicago-style beats and cosmic weaves, bubbles and vapour trails wisp and whirr somewhere above you on cloud nine. Four slices of pristine, pure positivity. We guarantee your own love of good house and techno will be brimming over by the time you've finished listening. Beautiful.

SVS Records and Schamoni Musik are teaming up with a release by Schamoni-Labelhead BELP himself.

"In the end he was just shaking his head saying 'crazy shit', which is a real compliment from such a seasoned guru." Belp on Radioactive Man (Two Lone Swordsman), London, 2015 BELP alias Sebastian Schnitzenbaumer founding member of Munich's pop-label Schamoni Musik, debuts on SVS Records with a palladium of crazy energy overdose-jams named 'Elephants'.

His musical playground is lo-fi, nerdy and very digital. The 6-track mini-album is his unique exegesis of experimental broken electronic music, based on harmonic algorythms and programmed structures using Linux and a plethora of over 600 half-baked, buggy, highly innovative yet trashy open-source software algorithms. Keeping in sync with this - all the artwork was completely auto-generated by software using an evolution-based artificial intelligence engine called QBist.

Down By The Lake is happy to present Saile, a young musician who was born and raised in Berlin. What instantly caught us was the timelessness of every single element within the sound of Saile. Though being at young age his hardware-only tracks are sweating of love for the golden era of US house music. map.ache (Kann/ Giegling) takes In The End to another hypnotic level, his version is a proper workout, to be heard on the trippy dancefloors across the world soon!

Kapote loves the funk. And he loves Blaxploitation movies. The black underground cinema from the 1970ies. Kapote samples dirty talk from these movies and puts it on his bass lines. Melodic basslines with a heavy 1070 funk vibe. Bass lines that can create a sexual tension. Kapote adds a few warm, jazzy rhodes piano chords and a lot of reverbs and filtering. And the music rolls. Often more like a jam then like a constructed piece of music. In the highest points this music is pure endorphin. It's 4 to the floor - but it has a soulful analogue sound. Kapote says he was listening to records from old Detroit label Red Planet and Parisian downtempo pioneers Motorbass and La Funk Mob while making this record. And yes, the vibe is there. Like these guys Kapote likes to build his musical trips around snippets from old funk vinyl. Adding beats with vintage drum machines and creating an eclectic trip into a universe full of jazzy bits, noisy drums and dirty samples.

It is with great pleasure we welcome to our label, the hero of the Parisian underground scene, and Circoloco resident, DJ W!LD!!!

As we enter into our 3rd year of running Pathway Traxx, we wanted to raise the bar both musically and artistically and this EP certainly delivers that. DJ W!LD has always been a personal favorite of ours we were over the moon when he signed with us. Fresh of the back of his 2014 Album, When you feel me on his own The W Label, this guy is arguably in the form of his life! With an expansive discography backing up his formidable DJing skills, the accolades he's receiving now are simply long-overdue recognition for one of France's long-serving underground house heroes.

The lead track on this EP comes in two forms, the original mix and more tougher dub version. While the original delivers a slightly more laid back summer vibe as the hypnotic filtered chords provide the perfect backdrop for the hair raising vocals. W!ld's simplistic approach to drums and bass lines deliver that raw power we have come to love from him. This track is almost written for those Monday afternoon Circoloco vibes and you can be certain this will be getting plenty of airtime in DC10 over the summer.

As we flip over to the B-side, W!LD continues to deliver his signature stripped back heat with the playfully named "Get Some Balls!". Once again his heavy raw drums do the work here whilst supported by a pumping stripped back bassline. His cleaver use of layered samples and texture let the mind wonder during the breakdown only to be brought back to earth with a bang when the unforgiving groove drops back in.

Last but by no means least, the EP is rounded off with the stomper that he's titled Jew-Jitsu. Again W!LD shows us that less can and always will be more when it comes to his production. The highly addictive ride and clap in this track leave you literally begging for more. All the while his seamless approach to sampling adds the space and flow that brings this track together.

This rounds up our 6th EP and a true land mark in the journey of Pathway Traxx. As always if you like the music, please buy the vinyl

INCLUDES DJ SPINNA REMIXES - HAND-STAMPED

Last year Apollonia dropped their debut album 'Tour à Tour', a collection of tracks that represented their all night long b2b2b sessions. Now the boys proudly present the remixes! Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom and Shonky have carefully curated a selection of remixers from their closely-knit group of talented friends within the underground scene to create an album of exquisite reinterpretations. Each of the artists who've contributed to the album of reworks has a personal connection to the crew; members of the Lola ED family, friends from foreign lands, French comrades... they're all here and they've all put their own fresh twist on Apollonia's original works. An old hand brings a totally invigorating energy to the heartfelt 'June' as Charles Webster injects his experience into transforming the track into a light, leftfield-leaning soundscape. His rework takes us into dreamland, with smooth washes of synth and tinkling percussion giving it a slight tribal feel. 'Mouche Tsé Tsé' gets not one but two remixes; Hold Youth (Le Loup and Seuil) give it a sleazy, electro lick with a winding bassline and naïve, 8-bit esque FX for those hazy after-hours gatherings. Meanwhile, Thomas Melchior takes thing a little left of centre with his abstract rework full of odd sounds and clattering drums. Two very different versions, but both equally high-quality. Fellow Parisian Terence:Terry: aims straight for the dance floor with his mesmerising mix of 'Sona'. A groove-led production, it relies on a hefty bassline together with crisp percussion and a heady set of pads that will transport you to a higher plain. New York legend Jovonn, a previous contributor to the label and an inspiration to Apollonia, also lends his talents to reconfiguring 'Sona'.

At Cambium we like to keep it brief and let the music do the talking. Here we have a fresh release from none other than V.I.C.A.R.I. with his 'Still Be There EP' From deep rolling bass lines to hypnotic synths and bouncy rhythms this is a must have for any vinyl collection
