CORREN CAVINI ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM ‘A PLACE TO CALL HOME’ WITH STIRRING NEW SINGLE ‘AGORAPHOBIA’

Out Now Via Purified Records

Utrecht-based producer Corren Cavini marks a new creative era with the release of Agoraphobia, the lead single from his forthcoming debut album A Place To Call Home, due October 10, 2025. Known for his emotionally-charged melodic techno and cinematic approach to arrangement, Cavini delivers a piece that is as much a tribute as it is a personal reckoning - an elegy to places that once offered safety and a meditation on the shifting meaning of "home."

 

Agoraphobia unfolds with patient intensity-anchored by broad, elegiac synths, tactile textures and a restrained sense of propulsion. It takes its name not only from the psychological condition, but from Pleinvrees - the iconic Dutch event series whose name translates directly to “agoraphobia.” Having held its final edition in October 2024, Pleinvrees was more than just a festival for Cavini; it was a formative space where emotional vulnerability and club culture coexisted, and where the blueprint of his sound first took shape.

 

This track becomes both an homage and a redefinition: not fear of the crowd, but the search for connection within it. A reimagining of the dancefloor as sanctuary. Cavini threads that sense of intimacy through every layer of Agoraphobia - making the track feel less like a single and more like a portal into the world of the full LP.

 

“I've had some of my most emotional moments on the dance floors of Pleinvrees and the sound of the artists I heard there has really shaped my own sound. Pleinvrees is one of many examples of a place where music can be a safe space and home for people who need it. This track pays tribute to their legacy.”Corren Cavini

 

As his debut long-form statement, A Place To Call Home represents a major artistic leap. It is not simply a collection of tracks - it’s a cohesive body of work, deeply rooted in narrative, place and emotional memory. Spanning cinematic ambience, finely-sculpted club rhythms and moments of near-silent introspection, the album charts a journey through the thresholds between belonging and disconnection, presence and absence, interior and exterior worlds. Built with the patience and precision of someone intent on lasting impact, the record blurs the lines between dancefloor utility and immersive listening, designed to resonate whether heard through headphones at night or through a Funktion-One at sunrise. In an era of algorithmic releases and short attention spans, A Place To Call Home is a bold commitment to the album as art form - an honest, emotionally layered work from an artist stepping fully into his voice.

 

With previous releases on DAYS like NIGHTS, This Never Happened, Armada Electronic Elements and Purified Records, Cavini has quietly shaped a distinctive sonic identity that has resonated across dancefloors and headphones alike. A classically trained guitarist with an ear for drama and subtlety, his work channels a lineage of artists who value storytelling as much as structure - leaning more toward introspection than ecstasy.

 

His recent performance at Purified Johannesburg, now available as an official livestream on YouTube, further cements his growing reputation as a live artist capable of holding emotional space within peak-time slots - bridging underground energy with cinematic weight.

 

Agoraphobia is not just a single - it’s a signal. Of closure. Of growth. And of what happens when an artist turns inward to find the places that once existed out there. A Place To Call Home arrives October 10.

ANDRE SOUEID BLENDS DEEP HOUSE AND LIVE VIOLIN ON ‘BREAKTHROUGH’ EP VIA SOUL PRINT!

Lebanese violinist and producer Andre Soueid serves up refined and emotionally resonant sounds on Soul Print with his ‘Breakthrough’ EP.

STREAM: ANDRE SOUEID - ‘BREAKTHROUGH’ EP HERE

Soueid blends deep house with orchestral finesse and creates music that resonates far beyond the dancefloor thanks to its cinematic touch and melodic depth. Across these three tracks, Andre Soueid showcases his rare ability to craft deeply musical electronic journeys, rich in atmosphere, design, and moving melody. 

His sound stands out as truly unique in the electronic scene, a one-of-a-kind artist who seamlessly fuses his classical heritage with modern electronic production, positioning him as an artist to watch and a rising force shaping the sound of today’s global music landscape.

‘Breakthrough’ opens with moody atmospheres and warm grooves, lifted by sparkling melodies and sweeping strings. It’s a deep and elegant journey. ‘Into The Light’ (Extended Mix) carries a similarly emotional tone with the grace of the strings offset by the more gritty drums and rooted, rolling bassline so it feels both intimate and expansive. ‘Into The Light’ (Intro Version) reimagines the track as an epic, emotionally moving violin overture. It strips away the percussive drive in favor of cinematic build-up, with rich, emotive string layers that unfold with intensity and grace. Less a remix, more a re-composition, it serves as both a powerful standalone piece and an orchestral prelude to the full version, showcasing Soueid’s mastery of storytelling through melody and mood.

These three tracks showcase Andre Soueid’s ability to craft deeply musical electronic journeys that are rich in atmosphere, design and moving melody.

CHARLOTTE DE WITTE REWORKS SCOOP’S 90’S UPBEAT FLOORFILLER ‘DROP IT’ OUT AUGUST 7TH ON HER ÉPOQUE IMPRINT

Charlotte de Witte reworks Scoop’s 90s raver fave ‘Drop It’ for her niche Époque label, a platform for remixes/reworks of historic nightlife gems, especially from the 90s & early noughties. Her version drops August 7th just in time to give any flagging high-summer dancefloors an energy boost. 

“‘Drop It’ is one of those tracks that never really left the dance floor. It carries the spirit of an era, especially in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Reworking it for Époque felt like a tribute to a timeless moment in rave history. This one’s for the dancers, then and now.” - Charlotte de Witte

Scoop’s original ‘Drop It’ was released in 1999 by the Belgian dance music project Scoop, written by Daniel Maze and Jan Vervloet. It’s been a staple ever since, upbeat, innocently europop electro and packed with 90s fun –  rattle-tat drum builds, ludicrously catchy staccato tootling synth themes, the female ‘yeah-ay-ay-eh-eh-eah’ warcry, and a melodic synth chord break. Oh, and Otis Redding’s much-sampled 1968 Monterey promise.

‘Drop It’ (Charlotte de Witte Rework) is a slightly faster, more demanding beast, with a pounding indeed invincible techno beat, the iconic synth riffs given extra acidic edge and resonance, while fluttering, juddering themes now fill the air like batwings. The original instantly recognisable 90s themes are still here, with its huge breakdown and banging drop, and some subtle echoes of Otis R. A hefty slice of pure dancefloor uplift.
