Sunderland-born, London-based producer Dharma returns to La Mano’s Sound Du Jour with the ‘Home Trip’ EP, arriving 29th May 2026, following a previous appearance on the label remixing Vyvyan in 2025. A trained multi-instrumentalist who has performed across orchestras and bands, Dharma’s releases have appeared on labels including Permanent Vacation, Me Me Me, and R&S Records, establishing him as a distinctive voice within the contemporary electronic landscape.

Opening track ‘Home Trip’ pairs soaring breakbeats with fluttering synth lines and R&B-tinged vocal touches, creating a bright and uplifting groove that balances festival-ready energy with an intimate melodic core. Belfast-born producer Hammer then steps in on remix duties. Known for euphoric, analogue-leaning productions on labels including Skylax Records and Semi Delicious as well as his own Remmah imprint, the Rinse FM regular reworks the track into a chugging house cut with sweeping, prog-tinged melodies that build towards an emotional dancefloor lift-off.

Elsewhere, ‘Tundra’ leans further into Dharma’s breakbeat palette, pairing crisp, driving rhythms with a buzzing synth lead that brings a bittersweet melodic edge as layers gradually build throughout the arrangement. Closing track ‘Techno Bagpipes’ rounds out the EP with another expansive breakbeat excursion, its shimmering leads and cascading melodic lines lending a cinematic, escapist quality to the dancefloor.

We are presenting the title track, ‘Home Trip’.

‘Home Trip’ EP will be available after May 29th HERE.

Gelato consists of Neil Diablo and Sound Du Jour label head La Mano. Their ‘Mystery Star’ in collaboration with London-via-Ibiza vocalist and live performer This Is Jude, releasing on the label in November, is a nu-disco cut with balmy pads and supple arps coursing through the mix. The steamy vocal brings soul and intimacy as the heavy groove locks dancers into a zoned-out reverie of cosmic delight. After the more stripped-back instrumental mix come two remixes from globetrotting DJ and producer Jordan Nocturne, who runs the Nocturne and The Night Institute labels and offers up authentic visions for future club music. His remix is low-slung and raw thanks to the rugged bass line that is layered beneath bright, acidic motifs and a squelchy lead that brings great character to this strident cut. The dub mix pairs things back a little and ups the low end in style.

Fresh off his recent Essential Mix, UK mainstay Man Power is a famously versatile artist who can lay down dark disco, thrilling techno, and plenty in between, all with oodles of individual style on his own Me Me Me as well as Freeride Millenium and Rekids. His ‘Shine On (And On)’ remix is a dramatic rework with plenty of tumbling drums and a rising sense of tension while the original vocals soar up top next to sustained pads that get dancers lost in the moment. It’s a serene world with infectious claps, sleek synth lines and a heavenly vocal feel that will bring moments of real emotion to the dancefloor, cut to a shorter version via Man Power’s ‘Half As Long Twice As Bright’ remix.

Gelato is a duo consisting of Neil Diablo, a crate-digging DJ and producer who releases tropical mixtapes that take in Afro and sub-tropical disco. He ran the legendary El Diablo’s Social Club in Manchester and its associated label and has played all over the world while releasing on the likes of Is It Balearic? and Futureboogie. Diablo collaborates with Sound Du Jour label boss La Mano, who has dropped heat on labels like Nightcolours and Tusk Wax and recently released his ‘Fabricca’ EP on his imprint, which won support from Moscoman, TEED, Chloé, Curses, and more.

We are presenting ‘Mystery Star’.
