With Beau Discours, Orphia dives deeper into the shadows, crafting a sound where cold wave and electronic music collide in a saturated whirlwind. Darker, more organic, this six-track album marks a major shift in her approach, designed as much for introspection as for the club. Far from a mere stylistic exercise, Orphia records on tape, pushes saturation to the limit, and lets the raw material breathe -- capturing rough, grainy textures. The vocals, buried under distortion, remain minimal and sharp. Balancing tension and nostalgia, Beau Discours captures a sense of urgency, reflecting a chaotic era where analog and digital intertwine in a relentless dance. Dancing on ruins, embracing sonic violence, channeling rage into razor-sharp beats -- that's what Beau Discours is about. A record that seeks not clarity, but impact -- between synthetic coldness and dancefloor fever.

Stripped of temporal markers, today's artists unabashedly draw from the past while boldly gazing into the future. Amid revivals and innovations, trends and undercurrents, the game is intricate, the nuances abundant. Orphia's music is no exception. Behind the synthesizers, the Genevan weaves a musical tapestry on a tightrope. Cold wave, synth-pop, post-punk, Eurodance, Indochine, Depeche Mode, Boards of Canada, Eurythmics -- it all blends in a grand synthetic ritual where the festivities happily don't stop at the first light of dawn. Charging forward, swiftly, strongly, into an uncertain future, no questions asked but with a quick glance in the rearview mirror, just to be sure. L'Aventure des Gens Modernes resides in this retro-futuristic melancholy, between nostalgia and a thirst for tomorrow. Without ever falling into foolish nostalgia or soulless revival, the album reflects an absolute urgency. Urgency to produce, first and foremost, as studio work has become a true raison d'être for Orphia. Urgency to also shout out a certain rage against a world devoid of hope, and this on stage where the artist performs alone, synths in hand and sharp beats for the dancefloor. In an era where the past enables facing the future, the five tracks of L'Aventure des Gens Modernes breathe a breath of fresh air into a scene in ruins. Cyberpunk or punk in general, Orphia wants to go fast and take everything in its path.

Sid Spada unveils his first project, Stellagony, a unique musical adventure. After several collaborative projects, the Geneva rapper withdrew to craft nine tracks. Nine unique pieces in the sonic puzzle that contemporary rap has become. Stellagony is a chronicle of adolescence, its wanderings, its parties, its excesses, and a certain form of self-destruction. Entering a new phase of his life, Sid Spada scrutinizes his last ten years to narrate his mental and artistic evolution. This project is like a window to the past that allows its author to step back and embrace the future possibilities serenely. This artistic maturity forged during long months in the studio opens a new era. Each track, shaped by RougeHotel's production, who co-signs all the instrumentals of the project, serves as a sonic exploration rather than following fleeting trends. The album's atmosphere dances between melancholy and the fantasy permitted by hyperpop, drawing from Latin and club sounds. A skillful balance between dark emotions and avant-garde energy is established. Stellagony, produced by Sid Spada's label iuven, is presented by Les Disques Magnétiques, a Geneva-based label affiliated with Bongo Joe Records.

Third album from Swiss DJ and producer NVST, Filled With Oil is a deep minded project made of breakbeat, dub-influenced industrial, acid, and intelligent techno. Filled With Oil is the third album of Swiss DJ and producer NVST. In between sets at the most prestigious clubbing festivals and the trendiest clubs of the moment around the world, she found time to record this impressive six-piece album that goes from abstract to breaks, passing by industrial dub and unconventional techno. Produced as a manifesto for a different dancefloor, the music passes by many different moods made of deep textured sounds, glitchy samples, hectic drum machines and etheric political vocals. Just like on her DJ sets, it's always more than just partying. But don't be fooled, this project it's not only for open-minded dancefloors, it's a killer album for some sweaty basements. NVST's growing reputation is built on sharp, powerful, and deeply committed sets. Taking her audience by surprise, she doesn't hesitate to put the public in uncomfortable situations to lead them into a trance, and this is exactly what you get here.

First vinyl release of Geneva based Tunisian producer Pekodjinn. Maghrebi sounds meet club music, heavy trap, baile funk and dub. An Arabo-futurism experience. Founder of Ozadya collective, Pekodjinn has made himself one of the most influential producers in the Geneva subculture scene. Injecting his Tunisian heritage into the rap culture he grew in being a graffiti artist, he's delivering a futuristic mix where darbukas meet trap influences, traditional chants melt in batida and percussions are distorted by dub effects. Dharba, the first solo album of the beatmaker, is built in two parts. First one is an ode to Tunisian youths who fight a revolution against oligarchic power in 2011 and are still struggling to achieve what they started. "Chokri" is, for example, dedicated to Chokri Bellaid, a syndicalist assassinated in 2013. Second part is about imagining the future of Maghrebi, African, and Arab music. A unique sound where the youth of the continent and the youth of diaspora liberate themselves of colonialism, imperialism, and exoticism to build up a conscious sound to fight back the Western influences. If you want to know how's the guy sounds live, his DJ Set for Boiler Room is heavy tunes, heavy vibe... a newcomer to keep an eye on.
