Of Paradise welcomes Seattle-based artist Hünter with his sophomore album, Mica, a sublime addition to the label’s ever-evolving musical catalogue and one that quickly acquires almost mythical status.

Focused on the relationship between the digital age and the environment, Mica explores the extraction of natural resources, identity, memory, and what remains. A fusion of ambient soundscapes and deconstructed club rhythms, Mica questions erosion as both a physical and cultural consequence of modern consumption, encouraging listeners to reevaluate their relationship with nature, technology, and excess.

Available as a limited edition 12” and digital album, Mica responds to overstimulation; music that breathes slowly, punctuated by occasional moments of tension, provides periods of stillness and reflection interrupted by the intensity of digital life and environmental anxiety. This album isn’t merely a collection of songs; it’s an atmosphere to inhabit.

Originally released in 2006, Rendezvous is a rare, dub techno track released by Nao AKA DJ Compufunk from Compufunk Records in Osaka. Working under the name Lovegod for the first and only time, he created a timeless epic for a live set at the legendary, short-lived underground club "United Underground ??? (Tsurunoma)".

Now revived 20 years later by Richard Akingbehin’s Kynant Records, Priori contributes a dreamy rework and Janeret slows it down into a crisp dub version to complete the EP.

Written & produced by Naoyuki Yamakawa
Additional production by Francis Latreille and Mickael Jeanneret

Soul Quest Records returns with Maintain Altitude 2, a fearless, floor-focused statement that
captures the pulse of London’s underground while stretching its sound across borders. This
second instalment doesn’t just build on the energy of the first; it elevates it, locking into a groove
that feels both timeless and future-facing. Deep house, broken beat, jazz-infused electronics it’s
all here, and it hits hard.
Opening the release, Slxm Sol - Lead The Way sets the tone with lush Rhodes chords, rich
low-end warmth, and unmistakable soul. Featuring the hypnotic vocals of Legzdina, the track is
a late-night guide through deep, emotive house, refined, immersive, and quietly powerful. It’s a
statement from an artist who continues to define the label’s sonic identity.
Next up, Max Sinàl & KingCrowney - A Bit Mad deliver exactly what the title promises, a loose,
live-feeling cut that fuses UK jazz sensibilities with broken beat energy. KingCrowney’s trumpet
work dances over Max’s signature production, creating something raw, musical, and undeniably
London.
Amsterdam’s rising talent steps in with Misto Kay - Bruklynn, a playful yet intricate debut on the
label. Jazz-rooted keys meet unexpected rhythmic turns, keeping dancers guessing while
maintaining a deep, rolling groove. It’s fresh, musical, and full of personality.
Lisbon-based producer Berkeley Hunt - Speed Jazz follows with a dusty, high-tech jazz heater,
swung drums, chopped samples, and synth lines that blur the line between experimentation and
dancefloor pressure. It’s gritty, it’s clever, and it absolutely slaps.
Returning to the fold, Real Love Seeker - Mood Swings taps into that golden-era 90s house
feeling, think Mood II Swing energy with a modern edge. Soulful, driving, and built for
heads-down moments, it’s a reminder that simplicity, when done right, still reigns supreme.
Closing out the release, Streeton - Ride (Feat. Faro) brings broken beat back into focus. Faro’s
lush, heartfelt vocals glide over organic grooves and textured instrumentation, creating a track
that feels both intimate and expansive, the perfect final lift-off.
Behind the release stands Soul Quest’s core ethos pushing soulful, forward-thinking club music
without compromise. With a roster that spans emerging innovators and established voices,
Maintain Altitude 2 isn’t just a compilation, it’s a snapshot of a movement.
