J-Soul presents Andy Jaar & Ruslan Sever ft Creole - Not My Guy

@blackholerec - Black Hole 615-0 

‘Not My Guy’ is the second single release from the much complimented ‘Glace’ album on which J-Soul introduced Andy Jaar for the first time. This single is a collaboration with fellow Russian Ruslan Sever with the great vocals of Creole. DJ BIGGI has done the remixing for this track, molding it entirely to it’s own signature style. 


J-Soul is one of Russia’s representatives of progressive house, releasing his tracks on many well-known labels of which Black Hole Recordings is one. He also teams up with many foreign artists, such as James Harcourt, Da Fresh and Matt Darey. J-Soul has remixed tracks by Moonbeam, Ben Preston, Blackfeel White and he is touring all through Russia and the CIS countries. The man behind J-Soul has always been a mystery, but through his new artist album ‘Glace’ we finally know that J-Soul is actually Andy Jaar. 

Dutch DJ BIGGI is one of Holland’s biggest export products at this very moment. Together with colleagues such as Hardwell and R3hab, he developed the signature Dutch House sound based on his own eclectic music. BIGGI is spinning the wheels all over the world on festivals and in clubs. His own concept ‘BE BIGGER’ is taking over the Dutch club scene. 

Ruslan Sever is a popular Russian DJ and radio host of his own show called ‘Electroshock’.

"Leanne’s beautiful new single Save your Heart was released recently and has enjoyed a lot of airplay here on Phoenix so it was great to welcome Leanne into the studio today.

All beautiful tracks but my personal favourite is the reworking of the old Evelyn Champagne King hit – Love Come Down – I love it to pieces! But then I really like Count My Blessings too. And Save Your Heart… Oh I can’t make my mind up. They’re all great!"

Trent McDermott - For What It's Worth EP

For What It’s Worth - Single, Trent McDermott@moleculerec - MLCL 038 / iTunes Link.

Trent McDermott’s first release on Molecule consists of two very different tracks. On the A we have ‘For What It’s Worth’; sharp and crisp percussion underpins an acid house inspired groove which keeps on morphing and mutating incessently with slick FX crescendos and an amazing payoff post-break. ‘Stars Can’t Shine Without Darkness’ is way more minimal techno in style with jagged synth stabs and a rolling sequencer line which opens right up at the break. Think heat, strobes and smoke and you’re there. Solid.

Monada - Teleport

@blackholerec - TSR020 / iTunes Link.
Teleport - Single, Monada
Monada are Arthur Kulyukin & Artem Pantleev from the Ukraine who’s previous release ‘Turbulence’ was released last year on A State Of Trance records. ‘Teleport’ in its Original Mix is a dark, powerful and beautifully melodic slice of trance. The magic happens at the break where the simple but effective lead arpeggio and pad elements explode to the front of the mix encapsulating what we all love about pure trance music. On remix duties is Jack Høye aka Dreamy – fresh from his mind-blowing remix of ‘Emerge’ by Franz he pulls no punches here, initially adding some gated vocal snatches before delivering a peak time monster of a remix complete with razor sharp synth stabs and some gorgeous piano sprinkles. Glorious.

Il Santo - Everybody


For ‘Everybody’ Italian producer Il Santo teams up with Eigthy, creating a classic house track with a vibe that’ll take you right to the sunny island of Ibiza. Now out on the Wildlife imprint, including a remix by Dutch DJ Jess-E, a regular on the label. His remix also carries the classic house feel of the original, but has a more deep house sound to it. 
promo packshot
Il Santo is a composer, record producer and sound designer from the beautiful city of Rome, Italy. With his band DauniaOrchestra, one of the most well known bands In Italy that mixes jazz with world music, he has been performing on several international jazz festivals. Thanks to various encounters with DJ’s and artists his interest in dance and electronic music was sparked meaning he sometimes makes a detour outside jazz.

First State ft Relyk - Take The Fall‏

@blackholerec - Magik Muzik 1093-0 

Black Hole Recordings’s avatarFor his new release on the Magik Muzik imprint First State collaborated with upcoming EDM songstress Relyk, who’s vocals beautifully compliment the emotional sound of ‘Take The Fall’. There’s an extended version and a radio edit available of this track. 


First State really is one of the consistent names in the electronic music industry with his ‘The Whole Nine Yards’ compilation series, remixes, his own First State label, the Crossroads radio show and of course his own releases such as ' My Sanctuary', 'Cross the Line', 'Your Own Way', ‘Battle of Hearts, and more recently, ‘Lourdes’. Besides all this he’s touring the entire globe, performing in some of the biggest venues of the planet. 

Relyk is the alter-ego of Kyler England, singer-songwriter and member of the alternative pop/rock band The Rescues. The fact that Relyk is actually Kyler spelled backwards is because Kyler wants to show the other side of her vocal spectrum, her writing and personality. She seems to be doing pretty well on that front with collaborations with Tiësto, Duderstadt and Nic Chagall, Roger Shah, First State and making her own tracks.

ALI ft Hannah Fogel - Hero‏

ALI’s varied use of pitches and sounds will have you finding your hero wherever you are. Sharp synths and evoking emotions will leave you feeling like you finally found your happy end.

Hotlife - Smash

@blackholerec - Black Hole 618-0 

Black Hole Recordings’s avatarBulgarian duo Hotlife have created a personal style that’s an appealing mix of progressive house, trance and electro since setting foot in the EDM scene in 2012. At the moment they’re busy writing and creating new tracks with influences of Tiësto, Deadmau5 and Swedish House Mafia. 


This new single is titled "Smash" and 'Smash' is probably the best way to describe this progressive-houser. It will hit you hard where needed. One really for the big rooms!

Driftmoon - Howl At The Moon

@richsolarstone - PT001 


Solarstone’s Pure Trance movement has redefined the landscape of the trance scene since its conception in 2012; fueled by Solarstone’s own groundbreaking ‘Pure Mixes’, critically acclaimed compilation album series and sell-out worldwide Pure Trance Events. This is his record label devoted to the sound of Pure Trance.

Solarstone’s ‘Retouch’ is an example of Pure Trance at it’s finest. The track sweeps through crescendo after crescendo, with layer upon layer of beautiful cascading melodies. Solarstone adds his signature to the track, polishing, crafting and perfecting the production, adding that extra of ‘Pure’ finery taking it up to the next level. If you Like It Pure, you’re going to love this.

Blister 13.0 - Con Leire


Molecule RecordingsBlister 13.0’s second outing on Molecule here. If you thought ‘Lunes’ was unusual, this will turn your head once more. This is real progressive house, not that other rubbish which trades itself off as such. Blister 13.0 aka Julio knows how to programme a synth to make it really talk, his arrangements are interesting and full of surprises. ‘Con Leire’ fuses 606 & 808 percussion with other analogue synth favourites making appearances as they weave in and out of the track’s intricate +10 minute structure. The Molecule Edit is merely a shorter more concise simplification of the track. Mesmeric.

@blackholerec - Black Hole 614-0 

Taken from his new ‘Glace’ album on which J-Soul presents Andy Jaar is ‘Morning Light’. The original is a firm progressive house track with the beautiful vocals of Leusin protruding the track. Andy Duguid has done the remix, giving it a more trancy feel.

Marius Ene - Out Of The Night EP

Molecule Recordings@moleculerec - MLCL037 - BeatPort Link


Marius Ene gets his first release, and here at Molecule we are touched that he choose us. ‘Out Of The Night’ is deep moody proper progressive house, or call it techno if you wish. Propelled by a smooth bassline Marius treats us to some fat and expressive analogue synth rises in the break, dropping back into that hypnotizing groove. Nothing clever of fancy here, just deep dance music. The flip ‘Alter Ego’ is more uplifting in tone, built around a tight groove and some widescreen pads and classy understated melodic textures. Music for serious clubbers.

DJ Producer Ido, the mastermind behind Save The Robot, is releasing another solo E.P. on Black Hole Recordings. ‘The Sting’ as well as ‘Secrets’ are roomfilling and uplifting progressive house tracks.

His releases are supported by Kyau & Albert, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Pedro del Mar, Ferry Corsten, Fedde Le Grand and many, many more.

Jaap Ligthart - Nenteme

@blackholerec - Fris! 1337-0 

Jaap Ligthart delivers a laid-back and tone shifting tech house track with ‘Nenteme’. Alessandro Diga has taken on the remixing, turning it into a pure techno track with a more lounging feel to it. 


After he has had to listen to dreadful Dutch music in his younger years, we can al be happy that Jaap Ligthart discovered electronic music one day and never looked back. He started listening to sets, mix CD’s and radio recordings by Tiësto, Carl Cox, Sven Väth, Sasha, John Digweed and more. Those are the DJ’s and producers that are now wanting to play his tracks during their live sets. Jaap has also done numerous guest mixes on radio station 538, the number one radio station in The Netherlands and also in Tiësto’s Club Life show. 
No set of Jaap is ever the same, varying between deep house and minimal, uplifting or a more raw sound.

Hospitality London 2014

@hospitalitydnb... Celebrating 18 years of Hospital Records.

Hospitality tickets at Building Six in London"We are celebrating Hospital Records 18th birthday next year, so in honour of this milestone we are taking an emotional trip down memory lane by revisiting iconic venues across London that have helped to make Hospitality events what they are today.

February 7th we head up to Building Six (previously the famous Matter nightclub of the 02 Arena). "The best club in the world" according to London Elektricity during our Matter residency, we are excited to return to this world class venue, of course we will be bringing a world class lineup, soundsystem and atmosphere... as standard."


"Then on May 4th we will be stepping even further back into the history books for a one-off spectacular at our beloved Heaven – a maze of dancefloors, bars and sound systems located under the arches of Charing Cross station in the heart of central London, a nightclub engraved on the heart of British rave culture. Those who remember the original Hospitality events at Heaven will know these were really special occasions, and we aim to recapture that vibe in 2014 with the best artists and the friendliest crowd. And for those who never made it to Heaven all those years ago, this is your chance to experience an integral piece of Hospitality history.

Both events promise to be something to saviour, completely unique whilst including everything you love about Hospitality. For this reason we have come up with a ticket that gets you into both, click combo ticket, and we will see you there!"
