PARALLELLE ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM 11TH AVENUE

NEW SINGLE “TAKE YOU ON A RIDE” OUT NOW

11TH AVENUE OUT via PARALLELLE’S LABEL FOLDER OCTOBER 29, 2025

French duo Parallelle are ready to shift gears with the announcement of their second LP, 11th Avenue, out October 29 on their newly founded Lisbon-based label, FOLDER. The news arrives alongside the release of a new single, “Take You On A Ride,” out now. 

Buy/Stream: Parallelle - Take You On A Ride

“Take You On A Ride” is a sleek and effortlessly sexy tech house number, marked by smooth, rolling basslines and dynamic instrumental layers that keep listeners locked in and moving from start to finish, perfectly capturing the groove, warmth, and musicality that defines the duo.

“We wanted to spark some flirtatious mischief on the dance floor. So we came up with a rolling baseline, nasty groove, and lyrics that turn the night into a playground.”   — Parallelle

11th Avenue highlights Parallelle’s continued commitment to exploring new ideas, united by an analogue production approach that builds a bridge between genres, experiences, and communities. The album emphasizes the imperfect beauty of analogue sound, combining live instrumentation, groovy beats, and jazzy saxophone and trumpet interplay with Thomas (Parallelle) and collaborators’ vocals, resulting in rich and authentic tones that feel both classic and contemporary.

Beyond the music, Parallelle has crafted a holistic vision for 11th Avenue. The album’s visual identity was shaped by progressive fashion creative director Sarah Bassett and captured by internationally renowned photographer Dani Batistidas, resulting in an aesthetic that mirrors the analogue-first ethos of the record. Parallelle will bring 11th Avenue to life globally with a curated album tour that blends intimate listening sessions with hybrid DJ sets, bespoke production elements, and immersive storytelling.

Further blurring the lines between sound and style, the duo has teamed up with rising high-end streetwear brand Ciaran for a capsule collection of limited-edition 11th Avenue T-shirts, hats, and jackets to be launched this October during ADE.

11th Avenue arrives October 29 via FOLDER, with a vinyl release to follow later in the month. “Take You On A Ride” is out now on all platforms.


ABOUT PARALLELLE:
In music theory, a “Parallelle” is described as two different scales starting from the same note, developing differently while still dialoguing with each other. This concept mirrors Parallelle's identity: creating sounds influenced by various genres (jazz, soul, hip-hop, funk, and techno) that reflect their life experiences and collaborative audio-visual encounters.

With Lisbon as their home, Parallelle reverberates the city's energy and evokes its sound space by creating a distinctive style: a blend of house, techno, and world music. Their sound philosophy is linked with live instrumentation and field recordings, showcasing their global travels, deep appreciation for diverse cultures, and nostalgic tribute.

Music is a collaborative concept that is central to Parallelle's ethos. Their work as musicians, curators, and film and fashion sound designers illustrates the duo's belief in music as a universal language - a dialogue that, much like their namesake, begins in harmony and evolves into something uniquely their own.

SIMBASŌL LINKS UP WITH TIMO MAAS FOR OPEN ARMS VIA SHANTI MANSION!

New school star Simbasōl links up with Techno titan Timo Maas for spine-tingling new release ‘Open Arms’ on Shanti Mansion.

STREAM: SIMBASOL & TIMO MAAS - OPEN ARMS HERE

Simbasōl is a Montreal based electronic music producer, DJ, and performer whose sound fuses melodic house and techno with earth-driven grooves, expansive synthscapes, and soulful percussive rhythms. Since 2020, he has made his mark with standout performances across Montreal and the US, with his debut EP climbing to #1 on Beatport within just a week of release.

In 2025, Simbasōl is building unstoppable momentum. With multiple singles already out this year, including a brand-new EP 'White Flags' and a wave of upcoming projects on forward-thinking labels such as Kinetika, Shanti Radio, Gardens of Babylon, Redolent, and Melody Lab, he is carving his own path in electronic music.

Raised with a music induced lifestyle by his devoted dancing parents, Simbasōl was moving to music before he could walk. Growing up around campfires with djembes and harmonicas, he absorbed a music-fueled lifestyle that continues to inspire his mission today: to turn dance floors into spaces of freedom, emotion, and connection.

Meanwhile, German legend Timo Maas has been at the forefront of the underground scene for 40-plus years as a DJ, and more than 30 years as a producer, with countless classics to his name. But more importantly he keeps evolving and remains an in demand collaborator with fast rising names like SimbaSōl. 

“Open Arms” is a soul-stirring and uplifting track with a gorgeous falsetto to bring hope and beauty. The chunky drums march below with a sprinkling percussion and smeared chords all rising up like the sun of a new day. It's pure, rousing and full of the sort of inescapable emotion that unites crowds and taps into universal feelings of pain and hope.

“Open Arms” brings new kinds of feelings to electronic music and leaves a lasting impression.
