OXIA RELEASES THIRD STUDIO ALBUM AELLE

Out now on Diversions Music, the twelve-track LP is a rich exploration of groove, melody and emotion from one of France’s most influential electronic voices

French DJ and producer OXIA, a leading figure in the international electronic music scene, releases his long-awaited third studio album Aelle, out now via Diversions Music.

Following this year’s acclaimed singles Presence and Colors of Life, as well as the upcoming Silk & Fur (out September 19), Aelle is a masterfully woven collection of tracks that balances the intensity of the dance floor with the intimacy of personal listening. Across twelve tracks, OXIA crafts an evocative sonic palette where melodies and grooves intertwine with moments of emotion, elegance and timeless beauty.

Speaking about the upcoming album, OXIA commented:

“As with my previous albums, I let my creativity run free once again, without setting limits. I wanted to bring together everything I love about electronic music – groove, melodies, emotion, intensity – and blend them with calmer, more reflective tracks”.

Aelle also highlights OXIA’s collaborative spirit, featuring contributions from long-time friends and creative partners. Faces sees him reunite with label co-founder Nicolas Masseyeff, while Silk & Fur and On The Trip see him team up with Yannick Baudino. The album also welcomes compelling vocal performances from Hen Wen (Calling The Sun) and Hacène (Silk & Fur).

Musically, the record flows through a rich spectrum: melodic, groove-driven tracks (Nuance, Faces), ethereal pieces laced with emotion (Calling the Sun, Saisons) and moments of deep, poignant melancholy (Aerial). The title track Aelle and songs like A Special Day and Run underline OXIA’s ability to move effortlessly between the club and the heart, creating music with enduring resonance.

With Aelle, OXIA reaffirms his place at the forefront of electronic music, offering an album that is as captivating on the dance floor as it is profound in personal reflection.

PECES RAROS TEAM UP WITH INNELLEA ON “PARTE DEL JUEGO”

Announce 17-Date Headline Tour of US and Europe

Out now via belonging, the new single arrives ahead of Peces Raros’ biggest US and European tours to date, and follows their sold-out 12,000-capacity show at Mandarine Park, Buenos Aires

Argentinian electronic-rock innovators Peces Raros continue their global ascent with “Parte del Juego”; a collaboration with esteemed German producer Innellea. Out now via belonging, the release follows a landmark moment for the band – a sold-out show for 12,000 people at Mandarine Park, Buenos Aires – underscoring the scale and devotion surrounding their electrifying live performances.

Led by Lucio Consolo and Marco Viera, Peces Raros have spent over a decade shaping a sound that defies categories: a fusion of analog grit and digital pulse, of rock’s rawness and the emotional depth of electronic music. Their live shows have become synonymous with intensity and immersion – experiences that transform the dance floor into a collective state of tension, release and connection.

With “Parte del Juego”, Peces Raros expand their vision even further. Created alongside Innellea, the track brings together two distinct sensibilities; the band’s visceral, performance-driven energy and Innellea’s detailed, cinematic production. The result is a powerful, transportive piece that resonates far beyond genre or geography. It also sets the tone for what’s ahead: a new Peces Raros studio album arriving in 2026.

Following the release of “Parte del Juego”, Peces Raros will embark on an extensive international tour that marks their boldest global move yet.

The US leg of the tour kicks off in late October, marking the band’s most extensive North American run to date. From San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami, Peces Raros will introduce their distinctive blend of analog emotion and electronic precision to some of the country’s most iconic venues; an experience that captures the power and intimacy of their Buenos Aires shows while opening a new frontier for their sound.

In November and December, the band then heads to Europe for an impressive run of headline shows that highlight their growing presence across the continent. Performing in Hamburg, Berlin, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Mallorca, and Valencia, Peces Raros will connect with audiences through a live experience that blurs the boundaries between concert, rave and ritual – a reflection of their identity as one of Latin America’s most innovative live acts.

Hailing from Argentina, Peces Raros is the creative union of Lucio Consolo (vocals, synthesizers, production) and Marco Viera (vocals, guitar, production). Since their formation in 2014, the duo has carved out a distinctive space in Latin American music, blending the angst and poeticism of post-punk with the hypnotic pulse of techno. Their sound is as much about movement as it is mood; lyrically sharp, rhythmically driven and sonically bold.

Across a growing discography that includes No Gracias (2014), Parte de un Mal Sueño (2016), Anestesia (2018), Dogma (2021), and Artificial (2024), Peces Raros has evolved from cult status to one of Argentina’s most respected experimental acts. Their music often explores themes of disconnection, transformation and the interface between humanity and technology – ideas that resonate through their powerful live performances.

After opening for The Chemical Brothers in Buenos Aires in February, performing at the 25th anniversary of Cosquín Rock, and recently selling out Mandarine Park with 12,000 attendees, Peces Raros continues to expand their global reach with their most ambitious international run to date. The band will tour extensively across the United States and Europe through the end of 2025, bringing their immersive, genre-defying show to major venues and festivals. The tour also paves the way for a new studio album set for 2026. This is a project that promises to further explore the tension between organic emotion and electronic abstraction that defines Peces Raros’ ever-evolving sound.

OSKIDO CLOSES HIS AFRO HOUSE HERITAGE PROJECT WITH A FRESH REMIX FROM ATMOS WAV

Atmos Blaq and Mpho.Wav drop the third and final remix in South African icon Oskido's Afro House Heritage Project and also introduce their new Duo Called Atmos Wav.

The final chapter of Oskido’s Afro House Heritage Project lands Friday 10th October, with a new remix by Soweto’s Atmos Blaq and Mpho.Wav. The project, which reimagines Oskido’s legendary back catalogue for today’s global dancefloor, has already made waves with Dr Feel & Oskido’s remix of ‘Tsa Ma Ndebele Kids’ in August and Manoo’s remix in September, gaining support from industry heavyweights including Black Coffee, Themba, AMÉMÉ, Shimza, Morda, Jamie & more.

A titan of South African music and one of the continent’s most revered cultural figures, Oskido is ushering in a bold new chapter with the Afro House Heritage Project, connecting his groundbreaking legacy with the next generation of Afro house. He describes the initiative as “the beginning of something bigger,” blending heritage with innovation.

The project features a lineup of visionary talent: after Dr Feel & Oskido reimagined the beloved classic ‘Tsa Ma Ndebele Kids’ featuring Candy, French house producer Manoo added his signature touch. Now, Soweto’s Atmos Blaq, renowned for crafting textured Afro and 3-step sounds, teams up with Mpho.Wav, a former session musician whose work fuses tech, house, jazz, and gospel elements.

More than just remixes, the Afro House Heritage Project is a living tribute to Oskido’s trailblazing influence on Kwaito and South African house. As co-founder of the legendary Kalawa Jazmee Records and creator of the iconic Church Grooves series, Oskido shaped the continent’s music landscape and mentored a generation of talent.

Far from a retrospective, the Afro House Heritage Project is a reawakening, a bold reminder that foundational artists remain at the forefront of electronic music evolution.
