Toronto/Berlin producer and Big Trouble Records founder Andre Zimmer has emerged as one of house and techno’s hottest commodities, fresh off his scorching fabric Records release with Carlita. Now he joins DJ Tennis’s Life and Death label with the announcement of his 4-track Kwon Anthem EP, out September 19.
Arriving alongside the announcement is the lead single “Hypnotizing” — a piano-driven, ethereal cut that highlights Zimmer’s ability to channel rave nostalgia into shimmering, emotive house designed for peak dance floor moments.
The EP also features the standout track “That’s Right”, which has already been making waves across clubs worldwide. With early support from Peggy Gou, Jennifer Loveless, Massimilliano Pagliara, Alinka, Jorkes, Luigi Di Venere, and more — including rotations at Panorama Bar and viral fan videos from Bella and beyond — it’s quickly becoming one of Zimmer’s most in-demand productions.
Across Kwon Anthem EP, Zimmer balances hypnotic, orchestral breakdowns, progressive trance textures built from Roland SRX patches (“Kwon’s Anthem”), and a cosmic, downtempo detour structured around a 707 jam (“Hours”). It’s his most ambitious and wide-ranging statement yet — and a fitting debut on Life and Death.
With support from underground tastemakers and appearances at clubs and parties worldwide, Zimmer’s DJ sets reaffirm a classic but forward-thinking approach to house music.

Sales Note
Canada's Andre Zimmer makes his SEVEN debut with his 'Wait a Minute' EP - a stellar collection of faster, chuggy, pacey style of house gems. The EP's title track is the first to slam, with a heavy-handed 909 kick blistering beneath a chugging bassline.
Taking influence from the Berlin house scene, it serves one purpose: to galvanise dance floor energy.
Parisian producer Vitess lands a remix of 'Wait A Minute' with his '90s-focussed sound and penchant for deep, minimal sounds being the pull. Lucious pads and electro synth lines across the hip-hop influenced vocals bolster the track's impact. 'Ice Lolly' came together at a friend's pad in Los Angeles, with a jam session grabbing UKG and speed garage influences and infusing those with a distinct '90s tech house vibe.
For its '90s influences, 'Round Two' finds its muse in a classic rave organ, while other elements that evoke a sense of the heady warehouse parties from that era include sampled vinyl scratches, breakbeats, and chunky bass from his Yamaha DX200 vintage synth.

Kicking things off on the B side is “Beat Freak” (The Shelter Dub) by Loop Trick (otherwise known as Pal Joey). An already outstanding record got a distinguished touch up from New York house legends Blaze.
Drawing this wonderful EP to a close is Studio Apartment featuring Terrance Downs with “We Are Lonely” (Quentin Harris Vocal Mix). The NYC legend adds his deft touch to the Japanese duo’s soulful offering.
Once more King Street Sounds have delivered a powerful EP that any respected collectors & DJ need in their collection.

Michael Mayer - Ardor (Sebastian Mullaert’s Wide Eye Disco Spell)
Michael Mayer, aka Mr. Lava Lava asked a bunch of his absolute favourite artists to have a go at some of the tracks from his recent album 'The Floor Is Lava'. First up is Barcelona's brightest flame, RAXON, who is melting 'Brainwave 2.0' into a stompin fun-filled primetime banger. Longtime collaborator DAVE DK is a masterful producer and remixer that appears regularly on Pampa and Kompakt. His take on 'The Solution' feels like a road trip to paradise and back. Montreal's PRIORI is one of the hottest names in showbiz right now. His ability to bridge genres and create pristine sound designs is fully on display in his remix for 'The Solution'. Last but not least, the legend that is SEBASTIAN MULLAERT took a moment off from his revered Circle Of Life jams to transform the albums deepest cut 'Ardor' into an extraordinary musical journey. Oldschool Border Community vibes in the rebound!

Release Info:
D Stone debuts on Heist Recordings with a record that shows us why he's one of the hottest talents in house music right now
Chloe Caillet is in on it. Cinthie is in on it. SG lewis and Demi Riquísimo are in on it too. So are Folamour, Barry Can't Swim and, of course, Dam Swindle. In on what exactly?
In on the fact that D Stone might be the most exciting young producer and DJ you will find in the house scene right now. Oh, and he's also a great guy who says Heist was his dream label to release on. When we found out we were fans of on each other, it was only logical that we signed his 'Time Selection' EP; A 5-track record that shows us how cool and catchy underground house music can be if it's done well.
D Stone, born Daan Steenhuizen has had a meteoric rise in the scene in the past years and has only just finished his study at the Conservatory, where Lars was one of his mentors. His vinyl debut was on Cecille in 2023 with that absolute anthem 'Total unison'. He then released on Cinthie's 803 Crystal Grooves in 2024 and has a busy 2025 with releases on Chloe Caillet's label Smiile, Semi Delicious, a release planned for Barry Can't Swim's fresh label 'Earth's only paradise' and now, Heist. He's been touring relentlessly in between, already playing legendary places like Ibiza's Pikes, Amsterdam's Shelter and with big shows planned at Warehouse project and in Australia, you can just feel all the right things happening for him.
The 'Time Selection' EP kicks off with 'Yes I Am', an upbeat house track with plenty of hints of the old school, playful vocal chops and above all, some lovely piano work. It's stripped back, but full of energy, with driving 909 percussion, retro flutes and a rolling bass line. It's as much a pallet cleanser in a set as it is a teasing mid-set highlight.
'Move Over' features the vocals of ELY and sees D Stone dive deeper into vintage house territory, with a classic bassline and percussion that stays true to the core of the classic drum machines, hinting as much towards the electro-pop sound of New Order and the futurism of early Mr. Fingers releases. The vocal is daring and cute at the same time, and does a great job tapping into the nostalgia of the pop-house cross-over songs of the early 90s.
'Time Selection' is arguably the heaviest cut of the record, much in style of his breakthrough track 'Total Unison'. This track is built around a strong piano theme, supported by driving 909 drums, strings and cleverly placed disco bleeps to keep the track accessible and uplifting. Add to that a big breakdown, and you'll understand why we've been reaching for this track peak set for the past months.
On the flip, we've got 'One Thing', a subtle and introverted track built around a bumpy disco bassline with a hook that's silly on first listen but will end up being the one thing you'll keep humming for the rest of the day. In short, it's a banger in disguise.
The last track of the EP is 'Everything from the Organ', a track where D Stone is not afraid to show his love for throwback ravey elements. There's organ licks, horns and chopped vocals that propel you straight to the front-left of whichever dancefloor D Stone is reigning at that moment.
Don't sleep on the Heist debut of one of Amsterdam's biggest talents, cause this one will go like hot cakes! As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!
Yours, Maarten & Lars

Prince Istari - Boderation Time Dub
The subtitle for this PRINCE ISTARI release is top ranking stepper science class. But not only steppers are on this six tracker. here we step into the 8th grade of junior high school with two cuts of the EWIL-MERODUB, one acid stepper and one strip down drum and bass version.
Ewil-Merodach son of Nebukadnezar is also known as Amel-Marduk (Second Book of Kings 25,27). The last tune on the A-side is DIKE DISCO STYLE DUB with some synth keys into niceness land. Flipside TROUBLE NO SET LIKE RAIN brings you a deep rockers riddim with some melancholic horns section. this one is a heavy load tune!
STEP INTO CALABI-YAU follows up and is a particular type of manifold gently stepperdub which has certain properties, such as Ricci flatness tom tom echos, yielding electro piano applications in theoretical physics.
Last tune is the tricky ones here in terms of the drum beats (it’s based upon the Peanuts Vendor Riddim Beat for those of you who want to know) and is called BODERATION TIMES DUB and features PRINCE ISTARI on his 6 string bass guitar solo. Its more of a serious dubinstrumental then a dub tune.

Ewil-Merodach son of Nebukadnezar is also known as Amel-Marduk (Second Book of Kings 25,27). The last tune on the A-side is DIKE DISCO STYLE DUB with some synth keys into niceness land. Flipside TROUBLE NO SET LIKE RAIN brings you a deep rockers riddim with some melancholic horns section. this one is a heavy load tune!
STEP INTO CALABI-YAU follows up and is a particular type of manifold gently stepperdub which has certain properties, such as Ricci flatness tom tom echos, yielding electro piano applications in theoretical physics.
Last tune is the tricky ones here in terms of the drum beats (it’s based upon the Peanuts Vendor Riddim Beat for those of you who want to know) and is called BODERATION TIMES DUB and features PRINCE ISTARI on his 6 string bass guitar solo. Its more of a serious dubinstrumental then a dub tune.

Japanese drummer and producer Takafumi Okada has had his hands in several projects over the last 12 years or so, and, like with his music, patterns emerge: his discography is full of DIY sounds, an unconventional attitude to production, and an ability to create tension and mystery with layered polyrhythmic grooves.
Takafumi is well known as the former drummer of goat, the experimental band from Osaka. His mathematical lock-grooves helped to zone-out minds and levitate audiences between 2017-2023, notably on goat’s third album “Joy In Fear”. Prior to that, Takafumi was playing in his trio The Noup, a formation of guitar, bass, drums and synths that found their own balance of no wave and trippy homemade sounds over the course of several releases since 2013.
Under his Manisdron alias, Takafumi has a clutch of weighty records and tapes. In particular a 12” EP and double LP “Body of Void” on US label L.I.E.S. demonstrates his high-octane, industrial style, made on hardware and a drum kit. There are also Manisdron tapes of glitchy scatterbomb electronics to be discovered on Takafumi’s own label Cathodic.
Takafumi’s new project Nboj Tespo is another intriguing offshoot. Warm electronic sounds are layered with polymetric rhythms across nine tracks, and arranged in such a way as to bring listeners into a hypnotic dance state. Takafumi combines his Elektron Machinedrum, Boss delay pedal and Novation Bass Station 2 at his home studio, to produce minimal grooves that grow into fully-fledged creatures and take on a life of their own.
While Manisdron is one side of Takafumi’s solo output - that is, industrial and machine-like rhythms made with a real drum kit - Nboj Tespo flips that premise, and creates organic songs with a drum machine. The artist name also hides a clue: shift every letter of Manisdron down a notch and we find ourselves on the other side of the alias - the same identity but from a different viewpoint.
If the viewpoint of Nboj Tespo has a theme, it’s one of finding positivity in life, or a mysterious sense of satisfaction in the everyday. That makes “Blessed Planet” a perfect companion, for both the inside and the outside world.

Sales Note
- 2025 repress -
Deep In Dis Intl. is back with another killer release, this time by Brazilian sound system culture precursor Rassan and his Don't Hesitate EP. It includes a remix by UK's rising DJ Producer Bailey Ibbs. It is widely known by now that the Brazilian electronic music scene is one of the fastest growing and its artists are gradually developing a unique style with a strong international influence. Rassan, co-founder of the Nice & Deadly record label is a promising talent, making noise with his 90's raver influenced productions.
A1. "Don't Hesitate" is like stepping into a time machine. Nostalgic piano riffs, classic breakbeats and catchy vocal samples. Perfect summer anthem.
A2. "Rota De Fuga" is one of those tracks that can really transport you just by closing your eyes. It has a darker, trippy and speedier vibe that stimulates and submerges you deeper into the night.
Flipping the record, B1 is just a perfect example of Bailey's dynamic skills to program beats, adding some quirky sounds, an infectious electro pattern and a super deep breakdown. Robot dance style for this one!
B2. 'Bury The Hatchet' closes this wicked EP with a sublime energy. Proper deep jungle vibes. Four special tracks for any special moment of the party.

We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records is thrilled and honored to announce the first ever official vinyl pressing of the soundtrack for Mamoru Oshii's critically acclaimed and all around legendary science fiction anime film GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995), adapted from Masamune Shirow's groundbreaking manga series of the same name.
Cut from the original master reels at Emil Berliner Studios (formerly the in-house recording department of renowned classical record label Deutsche Grammophon), the album comes as a LP accompanied by a bonus one-sided 7" housed in official Ghost in the Shell artwork sleeve with silver gilt printing and a Japanese obi, and contains extensive 24-page liner notes.
The haunting score is composed by Kenji Kawai, one of Japan's most celebrated soundtrack composers, alongside Joe Hisaishi and Ry?ichi Sakamoto, whose work includes Hideo Nakata's Ring (1998) and Ring 2 (1999), Death Note (2006), Hong Kong films Seven Swords by Tsui Hark (2005) and Ip Man by Wilson Yip (2008), and countless others. Kawai's compositions see ancient harmonies and percussions uncannily mesh with synthesized sounds of the modern world to convey a sumptuous balance between folklore tradition and futuristic outlook. For its iconic main theme "Making of Cyborg", Kawai had a choir chant a wedding song in ancient Japanese following Bulgarian folk harmonies, setting the standard for a timeless and unparalleled soundtrack that admirably echoes the film's musings on the nature of humanity in a technologically advanced world.
Ghost in the Shell is widely considered one of the best anime films of all time and its influence has been felt in the work of numerous movie directors, including James Cameron (Avatar), the Wachowskis (The Matrix), and Steven Spielberg (AI: Artificial Intelligence).
