PREMIERE: Pheelo – Oblivion

Klubikon — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 09:38:48 +0000

Italian producer Pheelo returns to Repopulate Mars with the three-track ‘Move To The Beat’ EP, which marks his sophomore outing on Lee Foss’ label.

Pheelo returns to the Repopulate Mars orbit with the ‘Move To The Beat’ EP, a tightly engineered three-tracker that doubles down on the Italian producer’s dark, minimal-leaning sensibilities. Fresh from his South of Saturn debut, which won support from the likes of Jamie Jones and Solardo, this latest outing sees him further refine a sound that’s already found a home on Metamorfosi Records, Criterio Music, and beyond.

Title track ‘Move To The Beat’ rides on tight, clipped percussion and a gritty, driving bassline, while acidic stabs and icy hi-hats bring the groove to life. ‘Oblivion’ follows, leaning into snappy drum funk and rasping textures, with a whistled hook adding an oﬀbeat charm, primed for peak-time moments in Ibiza and beyond. Closer ‘Down To Business’ lives up to its name: no-nonsense, high impact. Signature drums and rapid-fire synth stabs lock in, while aloof vocals introduce a rave-tinged R&B twist.

We are presenting ‘Oblivion’.

‘Move To The Beat’ EP will be available after May 1st HERE.

PREMIERE: Loner Tennis Club – Ctrl Case

Klubikon — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 09:06:01 +0000

Italian electronic duo Loner Tennis Club presents their new six-track EP ‘Modern Rituals’.

Loner Tennis Club is an Italian electronic duo based between Turin and Milan, born in the last months of 2023. Their live set combines the dreamlike dimension of electronica with the vibrations of UK garage bass. Since the birth of the project, the duo has isolated themselves in their listening, leaving out trends and creating a live set that reflects their idea of clubbing.

Loner Tennis Club’s ‘Modern Rituals’ plays like a full night compressed into six scenes, not just the club as a room, but night time as a shifting state. It opens with ‘Energy’ feat. Duppy, a straight initiation rite: breaks and UKG snap into place while Duppy’s vocal feels like the hand on your shoulder pulling you into the room. ‘Overnight Shift’ keeps the body at the centre, all forward motion and rolling drums. City lights, passing cars, movement as instinct.

From there, the EP slips into something deeper. Dance becomes ritual, weaving club drive with a hypnotic pull, anchored by field recordings from Sri Lanka that make the whole thing feel both ancient and right-now.

The last stretch is about release and reflection, tracks resets the air with healing UK house grooves that run on future-garage melancholy. like scanning an emotional desktop full of half-closed windows; and the record closes with a vertical lift, vibes uplifted, a little bittersweet, and quietly weightless.

We are presenting the fourth track, ‘Ctrl Case’.

‘Modern Rituals’ EP will be available after May 8th HERE.

PREMIERE: Sonic Soul Orchestra ft. Kathy Brown – Good Inside (S.K.O.D. Edit)

Klubikon — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 08:05:24 +0000

Acclaimed British house producer Sonic Soul Orchestra is launching his exciting new record label People Watching, as he joins forces with regular collaborator and divine soulful diva Kathy Brown on ‘Good Inside’.

“People Watching is rooted in the spirit of early House Music culture, drawing from the core elements that made (and continue to make) the scene such an uplifting, inclusive, and an addictive place to be. At its heart, our new label is about capturing feeling: wellbeing, togetherness, and the full emotional spectrum that dance music holds, from joy to melancholy and everything in between. I’m really excited to share this brand-new space for all the quality music we have lined up!” – Sonic Soul Orchestra

After years spent touring globally with major pop and rap artists, DJ and producer, JP Firmin, aka Sonic Soul Orchestra, reconnected with House Music during COVID, not as a passing moment, but as a full return to the culture that shaped him. What began as studio exploration quickly turned into a prolific wave of productions, unleashing a plethora of quality original productions and remixes on labels such as SoSure Music, Midnight Riot, Black Riot, Quantize, King St, Groove Odyssey, IAH, Love To Be, LW Recordings and more. With that momentum came the natural decision to step back into the record label space, with Spring 2026 hailing the launch of Sonic Soul Orchestra’s new imprint, People Watching – a platform built to document and contribute to house music culture in its truest form. People Watching exists in that space where nostalgia meets forward motion. Honouring the warmth, musicality, and inclusivity that defined the early culture, while embracing modern production and new voices entering the scene.

Originally hailing from South Carolina, Kathy Brown originally found fame as the chart-topping lead singer of the group Praxis before having US dance hits on her own. In 1999 she climbed to #4 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with ‘Joy’ and in 2004 was the credited lead vocalist on the British act Soul Central’s ‘Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)’, a track that samples Rhythm Is Rhythm’s 1989 house classic. Over the years she featured on dozens of house and club singles and has become one of the best-loved voices of house ever to have graced the scene. Working alongside Sonic Soul Orchestra, Kathy has released soulful hits such as ‘Need You’ and ‘So Into You’.

Kicking off the label with pure soulful vibes and immaculate production, ‘Good Inside’ opens with a spine-tingling vocal from Kathy Brown before launching into a sumptuous groove packed with a plethora of magical funkery, uplifting brass stabs, sweeping strings, and soulful beats, providing the perfect back-drop for Kathy’s powerful love song. The package also includes a potent edit from SSO’s trusted editor and remixer S.K.O.D. who brings his smooth Soulful House finesse to the song, injecting a breathtaking piano breakdown, before jumping back into the groove. ‘Good Inside’ hails a stunning start for this exciting new chapter for Sonic Soul Orchestra, while further cementing the timeless chemistry and charisma he and Kathy Brown bring to our dance floors.

We are presenting the S.K.O.D. Edit.

‘Good Inside’ will be available after May 1st HERE.

One of these has been co-created with the terrestrial entity Carara, already known within the Humanoid Gods catalog. The closing transmission is entrusted to Klausgreen, who reinterprets one of Zad’s tracks through his uncompromising style, generating a new variation of the same frequency.

Understand that the dissemination of these sound waves is not random. Every sequence, every sonic impulse is part of a wider process. Through these emissions we gradually guide your species toward a new level of awareness.

Listen. Assimilate. Evolve.”
