Mazare Reveals Sebut ‘Paracosm’ EP Blending Rock, Bass, Trap, Drum & Bass, and More!
Mazare has finally unveiled the full force of his debut EP ‘Paracosm.’ Calling on an extensive feature list including the likes of CloudNone, Bloodhounds, Keepsake, Saint Agnes, and more, Mazare blurs the line between rock and electronic in impressive fashion. Drawing on multiple subgenres from bass to trap to DnB, Mazare’s ‘Paracosm’ is available on all streaming platforms via Monstercat.
After nearly a decade of steady singles, Mazare’s massively anticipated debut EP showcases his immense experience, creativity, and sharp ear. ‘Paracosm’ opens with lead single ‘Wake Up’ with Bloodhounds, a heavy-hitting hard rock and trap crossover that announces Mazare’s arrival in style. Next, Mazare calls on Keepsake and Liel Kolet for another rock-inspired single ‘Open Heart,’ this time taking a more emotional approach with a pop-punk riff and soaring vocals. From there, Mazare dives straight into drum ‘n’ bass territory on ‘Scared,’ a high octane production marked by an abrasive synth line juxtaposed with duo Machine Age’s smooth performance. ‘Light It Up’ subverts expectations once again thanks to the help of Saint Agnes.’ On the track, Mazare’s growling synth and punchy percussion mirror the style of a classic rock outfit, laying the groundwork for punk/metal group Saint Agnes to tear across the instrumental with flair. To close out ‘Paracosm,’ Mazare enlists CloudNone to end the EP on an emotive high. Known for their lush instrumentals with nearly cinematic qualities, CloudNone’s blissful production blends seamlessly with Mazare’s harder percussion. After the thunderous and electrifying feels of the first four tracks, ‘Promises’ offers a bit of reprieve for listeners to leave the EP on a peaceful note.
“The word ‘Paracosm’ literally means ‘imaginary world’, and it’s something that usually originates during childhood; it has defined rules, history, geography and language, and may incorporate elements from reality and everyday life, as well as fictional characters and features. With this title I wanted to reflect the various styles and genres I explored in this piece of work, and my general tendency as a producer. It also ties in with the story I am telling through the artworks of my songs, but this is something fans will discover as we go….:)” – Mazare
Mazare is celebrating the momentous release with a downright stunning DJ set filmed inside the world famous Grotta Gigante. Located on Italy’s eastern border, the 107 meter tall cavern makes the Grotta Gigante one of the largest caves open to tourists in the world. Among the stalactites, Mazare delivers an explosive set full of new ‘Paracosm’ cuts and old favorites.
Massimo Pezzetta, known as Mazare, is an Italian DJ/producer who has been releasing his own unique take on electronic dance music since his 2014 remix of Daniel Wanrooy, Ad Brown, and Ghost Wars’ ‘Paradise.’ Since, his music has caught the attention of renowned labels such as Monstercat, Spinnin’ Records, Seeking Blue, Ophelia, and Gud Vibrations, to name a few. ‘Wake Up’, the first lead single from his forthcoming EP, has already gone on to garner nearly 200k combined hits across all streaming platforms since its release at the tail end of this March, with ‘Open Heart’ following closely behind. Blending several genres with ease and presenting it with a true showman’s flair, ‘Paracosm’ is by far the most ambitious project of Mazare’s career. His newest EP positions him not only as a crossover sensation, but a must-watch artist for electronic fans keen to find the next big sound.
Following up on a strong run of singles, Softboy7 has stepped it up with the release of a deeply personal album ‘dreamData.’
From the first track, ‘my little angel’, the scene is set for the world of ‘dreamData’. Packed with layered synths and atmospheric textures, it gives the album an energetic opening that draws the listener in. ‘dreamData’ is easy to get lost in as every track flows smoothly into the next, allowing the listener to immerse themselves in Softboy7’s world.
There is a very clear vision throughout, as each track maintains the core elements that define ‘dreamData’. Atmospheric soundscapes, precise beats, and dreamy synths. While every track is built around these elements, each one feels like a refreshing take on the scene. On ‘above the layers’ and the title track ‘dreamData’, there are beats influenced by digicore and trap with a more laid-back feel, while ‘ethereal’ pairs dreamy atmospheres with fast breakcore-style drums. The whole album production features balanced mixing and careful use of dynamics. It varies between intense and gentle passages, switching between high energy and softer sections.
Softboy7 developed the story and emotive background of ‘dreamData’ through his struggle with mental health and the journey of finding his way back to enjoying and loving life. Much of that recovery came from online connections, such as gaming sessions and calls, which fostered genuine positive emotions. One particularly defining moment for the album, he told us, was trusting a stranger enough to take a flight to Brazil, which ended up as a formative and unexpectedly wholesome experience. That sense of vulnerability and safety is reflected in ‘take my hand’, a track built around trust and emotional openness. This theme of connection extends throughout the album, with each song telling its own story, from ‘last promise’, about embracing your uniqueness, to ‘dead pc’, which reflects the sadness of losing personal data.
Inspired visually and emotionally by Y2K design, Frutiger Aero, Solarpunk, Kawaii, and Hopecore, ‘dreamData’ exists as both a collection of songs and a carefully imagined world built from real life experiences, digital intimacy outlining the reasons Softboy7 fell in love with being alive again.

DJ Madam Filth Returns With Drum and Bass Track ‘Got That Blow’
Las Vegas-based DJ Madam Filth has released her second track on the Dancefloor Mafia label, titled Got That Blow. Known for her presence in the U.S. drum and bass scene, she brings another fast-paced offering that reflects her commitment to building both her sound and her label’s direction.
The track runs for just under four minutes and wastes no time setting its pace. It opens with a rhythmic pattern that leans into familiar DnB territory like quick tempo, tight percussion, and minimal melodic distractions. There’s a focus on keeping the structure clean and the transitions purposeful. Instead of throwing in multiple breaks or sound detours, the song keeps the listener on a straight course with steady layering and repetition.
There’s a vocal sample running through the main progression, acting as both a hook and a rhythmic anchor. Rather than relying on dramatic builds, the track maintains a linear intensity. That choice gives DJs room to use it mid-set to either maintain drive or transition without losing pace.
More Than Just a Single
Got That Blow is not just another release. For DJ Madam Filth, this marks another step in solidifying her platform. As a resident on Vibe 99.7FM’s Bass Nation and co-founder of the Konkrete Jungle event series, she’s not new to the genre or its surrounding community.
The Dancefloor Mafia label, which she launched independently, serves as a space for her to release her own music and to experiment with tracks built directly for the kind of dancefloors she plays regularly. Her style often leans toward straightforward arrangements that favor flow over theatrics. Got That Blow fits into that catalogue clearly.
For Listeners and DJs Alike
This track isn’t trying to reinvent the genre. It’s meant for settings where speed, precision, and familiarity matter. The production is tight, with all elements serving the rhythm rather than competing for attention. For fans of minimal, high-speed DnB, it’s a track that can slot comfortably into playlists or live sets without dominating them.
DJ Madam Filth continues to approach her releases with intention. Got That Blow may not be overly complex, but it’s well-built for the purpose it serves. If you follow her work—or just want a no-frills DnB addition to your library as it’s worth a listen.#
