Bleu Clair Looks To The Future On His Dynamic Six-Track ‘Prelude’ EP For Insomniac Records!

Insomniac Records is raising the curtain on Bleu Clair’s highly anticipated ‘Prelude’ EP, a stunning six-track offering that foreshadows the blindingly bright future of house music’s hottest export.

At this point, the in-demand Indonesian producer needs no introduction. He’s toiled tirelessly over the last couple of years, fine-tuning a prolific discography that has transformed him into a veritable touchstone of the modern-day dancefloor. From off-kilter grooves to the more nuanced numbers he’s crafted as of late, Bleu Clair has proven to be a breath of fresh air for the house music scene. In the time since making his debut on the Insomniac imprint last year, he’s made a calculated effort to expand his horizons without losing sight of the seminal style that so many of his contemporaries have tried to replicate.

Amid a skyrocketing artist profile, the forward-thinking phenom has not only homed in on his ever-evolving sonic identity, but he has also gone out of his way to champion like-minded creators from his homeland. His recent string of singles has been ripe with some of the island’s finest. Jakarta’s bubbling vocal talent Jelita helped kick things off on the lustful ‘Have Me All’, laying down a lush topline to perfectly complement its shimmery rhythmic appeal. A few months later, previous collaborator and a fast-emerging artist in his own right, Jargen, came in to connect the dots on their proggy roller ‘Amani’. And most recently, singer-songwriter Teza Sumendra carefully crooned over the futuristic flight of ‘Hyperspace’. Each of these collaborations have played an integral role in shaping the nail-biting saga of Bleu Clair, which makes them the perfect addition to his most ambitious package to date.

‘Play Jana’ is a majestic number that wriggles with a snake-charming allure. Tribal chants and drum circle vocalizations are implemented to a hypnotizing effect. The rest of the track’s body-moving splendor lies in an exotic mélange of tumbling hand percussion, intermittent string stabs, and quirky embellishments filling out the mix.

Migrating its way down into the southern hemisphere, ‘El Pasado’ sees him sprinkling in some savory Latin flavor into the rotation. Saucy Spanish vocals are peppered throughout its hip-shaking rhythm, tickling the sweet spot with a buoyant underbelly of shuffling drum patterns, crisp claps, glistening arpeggiations, and brilliant laser fills.

The final excerpt from the effort arrives in the form of a volatile collab with San Diego’s Cheyenne Giles, who has garnered support from top-shelf tastemakers from the likes of The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, Loud Luxury, and Tiësto, to name a few. Seeing eye-to-eye on the creative tip, they find an ionic compatibility in ‘Chemistry’. It’s intoxicating all the way down to a molecular level, resulting in a breathtaking titration of sublime vocal loops, dewy melody lines, clattering drum sequences, and vitreous pads that meld together to set off a chain reaction of pure ecstasy.

“I had a lot of fun making this project and this is the first time I’m releasing a 6-track EP,” says Bleu Clair. “I love every single one of them, especially the collaboration ones. I think this EP really encapsulates what the Bleu Clair project will sound like in the future.”

Binding itself around a spine of far-flung cultural influences that truly transcends borders, Bleu Clair’s new EP is at once dynamic yet cohesive, effectively leaving the next unwritten chapters at the mercy of his chameleon-like will. The ‘Prelude’ EP is available everywhere via Insomniac Records.

BETH Turns Up the Energy With New Single ‘Wait’

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.

In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.

Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

Stepping into the world of bass house for this track, Deadlynoiz has produced a hugely impactful hit brimmed with his hallmark strengths. ‘Rock The House’ is a fantastic showcase of his ability to design and blend together a myriad of creative synths to deliver powerful soundscapes. The track keeps pumping from start to finish but is dynamic in its energy shifting from the more melodic verses to the aggressive, bass face inducing choruses. Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.

His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.

‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.

Scarper Drops ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’ Compilation

Scarper releases ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a collection of eight unreleased tracks from the era behind his debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and ‘E-Funk’.

UK artist Scarper has released ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a hand-picked collection of eight previously unreleased tracks pulled from the same period that produced his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and his 2020 dancefloor tune ‘E-Funk’, which has been experiencing a resurgence thanks to a recent physical release on a new imprint.

The project is exactly what it sounds like, Scarper going back through his studio archives and finding the demos, jams, and ideas from that era that were good enough to polish up and put out. “I realised I had quite a few demos, jams and ideas on my laptop from that period, some of which were decent enough to polish up and get out into the world,” he said. “It’s a snapshot of where I was musically at the time, so I thought I’d package them together as a retrospective rather than a proper release, giving people something to enjoy while I crack on with the next project.”

The eight tracks cover a lot of ground, from the epic opening chords of ‘Skynet’ to the acid squelches of ‘Steppe’ and the string arrangements of ‘Halocline’. It is the kind of release that rewards the people who have been paying attention, and sits comfortably alongside some of his best work.

Scarper has built his career almost entirely on his own terms, releasing through his own imprint Plexus Records and picking up support from Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Rinse FM, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, and DJ Mag along the way.
