Hans Göran Shares Full ‘A Summer With Hans Göran’ EP!
Lucas Nord has taken the summer by storm with his brand new house-leaning alias, Hans Göran, sharing five feel-good anthems with the Nordic sun as his direct inspiration. Starting as merely a dream to share the music he created in his free time, the project has taken on a life of its own, racking up streams across platforms, and even landing on the highly sought after ‘Friday Cratediggers’ playlist on Spotify, alongside the very best in dance music. Out now in full, with the final single ‘NILO’ available to stream, fans can close out the summer in style with Hans Göran’s debut EP.
Off the back of ‘GANG’, ‘FIKA’, ‘LIMONCELLO’, and ‘GIRL’, Nord closes out his ‘A Summer With Hans Göran’ EP with ‘NILO’, an uplifting number dedicated to his girlfriend. The sweeping soundscape revolves around a chopped and filtered vocal, building with housey piano and strings in the second half of the track.
“To me, NILO is a track that feels and sounds like love, euphoria, and like nothing else matters in the world, so I had to be cute and name it after my girlfriend. It just gives me energy, you know? The vocal also says ”You make me feel like that” which kinda ties it all together. It’s also the first track I made for the project so it feels like it’s a great way to wrap up this EP. It’s been so liberating releasing these songs because they’ve kinda just been for me. They’re the tracks I’ve made myself, for myself late at night without ever thinking about what anyone else would think. Now I couldn’t be happier that they’re all out.” – Hans Göran
SEB C and INDICA release “One Night” Following Cross-Border Collaboration
SEB C and INDICA come together on “One Night,” a house record that builds around a steady 4×4 rhythm while keeping the vocal at the centre of the track. The release, now available across platforms including Spotify and Apple Music, was developed during the COVID-19 lockdown period, with both artists working remotely and exchanging ideas across different locations. Set for release on March 6, 2026, the track introduces a collaboration that did not begin in a shared studio, but through direct contact online, which shaped how the record was written and arranged.
SEB C’s Development Leading Into This Release
Describing SEB C as an emerging producer only covers part of the picture, as his catalogue already stretches back several years with releases such as “Run It Back” (2020) and “Weekend Hurricane” (2021). A more concrete reference point came in 2021, when his track “Guala” was played by Tiësto on Club Life Radio, placing his work within a wider audience beyond independent platforms. That moment sits as a clear marker of external support, rather than relying on general descriptions of early-stage artists.
His activity has not been limited to releases. Recorded sets and live footage from events such as CONTACT Festival and FVDED In The Park show that his work is already being carried into festival environments, which adds context to how his productions are structured. When placed alongside his earlier catalogue, “One Night” reads as a continuation of that direction, now moving into a collaborative format where the vocal takes a more central role.
How the Collaboration With INDICA Worked Out
The collaboration between SEB C and INDICA began during a period when in-person sessions were not possible, with the first exchange happening through Instagram. From there, the track developed through a consistent back-and-forth process, with vocals, drafts, and arrangement ideas being shared remotely until the final version was completed. This method of working did not interrupt the creative process, but instead shaped how the record was put together.
That process is reflected in how the track is structured. INDICA’s vocal is not placed onto a finished instrumental, but develops alongside the production itself, which is why the phrasing and progression feel connected across the full track. The collaboration holds a single direction from start to finish, rather than switching between contrasting sections, which gives the record a more consistent identity.
Where “One Night” Stays as a Record
“One Night” is structured in a way that allows it to function across different listening environments without being tied to a single context. The rhythm remains steady, which makes it usable within a DJ set without requiring major adjustments, while the vocal provides a clear point of recognition that carries through outside of a club setting. This balance between function and identity gives the track flexibility across both live and streaming use.
The arrangement stays controlled throughout, without introducing sudden changes that would interrupt the flow of the track. The focus remains on the groove and vocal phrasing, allowing both elements to carry the record without relying on additional layers or shifts in direction. This keeps the track consistent from start to finish, aligning with SEB C’s previous work while expanding it through INDICA’s contribution.
With “One Night” now released, the track sits as a clear step forward for SEB C, bringing together elements that have appeared across his earlier releases into a more complete record. At the same time, it introduces INDICA within a house setting that keeps his vocal at the forefront while still fitting within a DJ-oriented structure. The release reflects a collaboration that started under restrictions and carried through into a finished track without relying on a traditional studio setup. When placed alongside SEB C’s existing catalogue and performance activity, “One Night” adds another layer to his output, while opening space for further collaborations to follow.
INSCT & Roxy Tones Release Their New 19-Track Album ‘Higher On Life’ Blending Deep House, Chill House And Melodic Electronic Sounds
Electronic producers INSCT and Roxy Tones introduce their collaborative album Higher On Life, a 19-track release that brings together deep house, chill house, chill pop, and melodic electronic music across a full-length project. The album features instrumental productions alongside vocal songs performed by Scarlett Jackson, Robbie Hutton, Johnny Chicago, Imran, SKV, and Theia, creating a wide lineup of voices across the record. Spanning nearly an hour of music, Higher On Life presents a long-form listening project where the songs unfold gradually across nineteen tracks instead of focusing on a handful of singles. The description accompanying the album places the music within listening environments such as sunset sessions, late-night drives, and extended melodic electronic playlists, indicating that the record was conceived as a continuous listening experience rather than a collection of isolated tracks.
INSCT And Roxy Tones Expand Their Melodic Electronic Direction
The collaboration between INSCT and Roxy Tones brings together two producers whose work centres on melodic electronic music within the house spectrum. Roxy Tones has developed recognition within the electronic scene through productions that combine vocal songwriting, melodic synthesizers, and deep house percussion, creating music that frequently appears in chill house and melodic house playlists. By working together on Higher On Life, INSCT and Roxy Tones extend that musical direction into a full album format where the producers have space to introduce a larger catalogue of songs and vocal collaborations across a single project.
A nineteen-track album is also longer than most contemporary electronic releases, which often present shorter EP formats. With Higher On Life, the extended tracklist allows the producers to introduce multiple vocalists, instrumental compositions, and melodic passages across the album without compressing the music into a small number of tracks. This longer structure creates room for variation in tempo, vocal presence, and instrumental focus while maintaining a consistent melodic house foundation throughout the record. As the album progresses, vocal songs and instrumental records appear in alternating moments, giving listeners a project that gradually develops across the entire runtime rather than repeating the same format from start to finish.
A Tracklist That Develops Across Nineteen Songs
The album begins with “Blind Love” featuring Scarlett Jackson, introducing the project with a vocal-led deep house song that establishes the melodic tone of the record. The following track “Tranquil Waters” shifts toward an instrumental composition where melody and rhythm carry the record forward before “Sweat” featuring Robbie Hutton returns to a vocal performance. As the opening section of the album continues, “Skipping Stones” with SKV and “All I Need To Know” featuring Imran introduce additional guest artists while maintaining the melodic electronic character established in the first tracks of the record.
As the album moves further into its tracklist, several vocalists return across multiple songs, creating continuity throughout the project. Scarlett Jackson appears again on “Sinking Deeper” and later on “Oh Oh,” while Robbie Hutton contributes another vocal performance on “Feel Your Love.” Instrumental pieces including “Velvet Hangover,” “I’ll Be Needing You,” “Whispers In The Breeze,” “Higher On Life,” “Shine All Night,” and “Fly Away” appear throughout the album and highlight the melodic electronic focus of the production. Toward the final section of the album, Johnny Chicago appears on “Like I Do,” “Cloud 9,” and the closing record “Above and Beyond,” bringing another voice into the final stretch of the project and completing the sequence of nineteen tracks.
Across Higher On Life, INSCT and Roxy Tones present a full electronic album that combines vocal house songs with melodic instrumental productions throughout its nineteen-track structure. By introducing multiple vocal collaborators while also including instrumental compositions across the record, the album offers a broad collection of deep house and melodic electronic music that develops steadily from the opening track through to the closing song.
James Hurr makes his debut on FLAMENCA Records with his mix of ‘Gitanita’ by STBAN, Sandra Carrasco, and Josemi Carmona.
Celebrated UK producer James Hurr makes his debut on FLAMENCA Records with new single ‘Gitanita’, his second collaboration with label boss STBAN after the pair released ‘El Camino’ on Toolroom Records late last year.
‘Gitanita’ – which means “gypsy” in Spanish – also sees the pair reunite with famed Flamenco singer Sandra Carrasco and influential, pioneering guitarist Josemi Carmona. Carmona’s gently undulating guitar rhythms shuffle softly against Iberic-style percussion, Carrasco’s evocative vocal adding an extra level of tension to the pair’s deft composition. The result is a taut and delicate track that harnesses the raw emotional power of traditional flamenco music and moves it firmly onto the pulsing heart of the dance floor.
“Collaborating with STBAN has been an exciting musical challenge, away from my comfort zone and into the modal world of flamenco music,” Hurr said. “There’s something dark and mysterious in STBAN’s music that works perfectly with driving club beats.”
“I’m delighted to be working again with James,” STBAN commented, “and to have him officially releasing on the FLAMENCA Records label after our Toolroom collaboration is the icing on the cake. Once again we’ve co-created a beautiful fusion between the worlds of flamenco and electronic.”
