The title track ‘Run For Cover’ taps into the wide-eyed escapism of the mid-’90s without slipping into nostalgia. Psychedelic details flicker across the drums like LED trails in a dark room, while a restless walking bassline gives the whole thing a wonderfully physical pull. Elements drift in and out of focus, resisting an obvious genre tag while maintaining an easy, heads-down momentum. It’s prog...

On “Stupa”, the mood opens outward. There’s an unmistakable Balearic quality to its sun-warmed percussion and serrated bassline,a groove that immediately suggests open-air dancefloors and late-afternoon light. A woozy synth gradually sends proceedings into more narcotic territory, while soft vocal fragments, keyboard flourishes and flashes of guitar keep one foot planted somewhere recognisably hum...

At the start of 2026, he made his debut with the label through the four-track ‘We Were Never Lost’ EP, a collaborative release that connected him with several fellow Colombian producers.

Lead cut ‘Find a Way’ draws on the genre’s classic foundations, built around a warm vocal sample and bubbling synths. A beautifully measured breakdown opens the track up, as melodic layers gather around the vocal before the groove locks back into place. It’s A-grade dancefloor material, with enough presence to become the defining moment of a set. @drunkenkongjp

On the optimistic ‘Hikari’, a rolling bassline drives the track forward with an infectious low-end pulse that will be difficult to ignore on the dancefloor. A stretched vocal sample drifts across uplifting melodic keys, creating a genuine feeling of space and freedom. In Japanese, hikari means “light”, a word often associated with hope, positivity and clarity. It’s a fitting title for a track that...

David Mayer’s sound reflects a life spent moving between cultures. Raised across Germany, Spain and Norway before settling in Berlin in 2004, he developed an approach to dance music that has never sat comfortably inside a single genre. House and techno form the foundation, but the real through-line is rhythm: funked-up low end, muscular four-on-the-floor grooves and a sense of swing that keeps eve...
