The Florida producer Asher Shashaty has been releasing a steady flow of singles that now have led up to his second album, Astral Spring. The 10-track project showcases the evolution of Asher’s sound that continues to expand into diverse sonic territories. From dubstep, to future, trap and more, Astral Spring has a vibe for everyone.

Collaborators on the project include Dani King, Miyoki, Misdom, and more; all of whom bring their A-game to elevate an already solid project by Asher. Expressing a great mix of genres can sometimes be a tough task, but Asher keeps everything within a strong contextual scope to make for a fluid experience from start to finish.

Posted by TMN Staff - February 21, 2023

Ready to get a little weird with Jimmy Pé? The Slovakian dropped his new single “Tunnel Vision” on his home country’s arm of Universal. The acid-inspired techno heater is all gas no brakes for a fun-filled anthem.

“Tunnel Vision” has that timeless rave sound, one that’s a hit whether it was released 20 years ago, 20 years in the future or now. Armed with a memorable vocal sample, gritty bass and a vibrant attitude, Jimmy’s immaculate production feels like it belongs in a movie – perfectly encapsulating the scene of an iconic underground rave. It’s a great tune that deserves some space in your party playlist!

“I found the vocal sample and instantly knew what I had to do with them. The whole process of this song took only two days. I love the feeling when you know from the first moment how it’s supposed to sound. It’s just like a tunnel where you see the light and slowly approach it. That’s how I would describe the process of this song.” – Jimmy Pé

[House] Bleu Clair – Step Into It

Posted by Tyler Trew - January 28, 2023

Bleu Clair is coming off a big year in 2022. To kick off 2023, he’s dropped his solo single “Step Into It” that feels a little too appropriate for where the Indonesian talent is at in his career. Taking the success in stride, this hit continues to showcase why Bleu Clair is one of the hottest in house right now.

“Step Into It” blends some classic sounds with a fresh sentiment backed by Bleu Clair’s iconic production. It builds beautifully into a massively climactic drop with a sax solo that is just SO DAMN COOL. The unique approach to a song with such a distinct payoff makes for a nice change of pace from the usual while Bleu Clair proves once again he’s got the X factor.

After a heavy year of coverage in the dojo, we’re not slowing down the support for Rich Furniss. The New York creator kicks off the new year with our favorite record of his to date. “Out Of This World” truly lives up to its name and we’re sure it will make its way into your playlist as soon as you hear it.

Rich has had a knack for catchy records, but there’s something particularly special about this one. The almost frenetic energy paired with the washed out melodic runs are just impeccable. We can’t get enough of it on our end and we hope you feel the same way about the next stepping stone in Rich Furniss’ evolving career, which recently saw him take the operation reigns over at the Quincy Boy imprint.

OYE! SAN PACHO RETURNS! The Croatian house magician is back with the new single “OYE” as well as his North American tour that has thirteen dates in total. You’ll be sure to hear the new song that pays homage to the classic N.O.R.E record “Oye Mi Canto” from 2006.

The techy treasure’s latin inspired sound is elevated with bubbly production and bustling percussion that is catchy enough all on its own. Never holding back, San Pacho adds his signature bells and whistles (metaphorically speaking) for one of his most energetic songs to date. It’s a fun one. Let it take over your party playlists and if you’re around one of his tour stops, don’t miss out!
