KITTBALL 300, PART TWO: FULL-CIRCLE MOMENTS AND DANCEFLOOR FIRE

Kittball Records continues its landmark 300th release celebrations with the second installment of their VA series – Kittball 300, Part Two. Led by ‘It’s Automatic’, a collaboration between Tube & Berger and Nick Schwenderling that brings punchy drums, a driving bassline and a synth hook built for the dancefloor.

For Schwenderling, the release carries a personal connection. Having completed an internship with Tube & Berger years ago, he now finds himself contributing to one of the label’s most significant releases. It’s a full-circle moment that reflects the relationships and shared history behind Kittball.

Part Two also marks the return of label co-founder Juliet Sikora, who launched Kittball alongside Tube & Berger in 2005 and has overseen its operational side ever since.

Speaking on the 300th release, Juliet Sikora reflected,

“Wow, 300 releases! It's honestly crazy to look back and see how far we've come. Kittball has been such a huge part of my life, and I've put so much love, time and energy into this label over the years. It's been a journey full of amazing music, incredible people, friendships, challenges and memories I'll always carry with me.

That's why it feels extra special to contribute my track ‘Soho Sunset’ to this milestone. For me, Kittball was never just about releasing music. It was about believing in artists, discovering new talent, sharing our passion and creating something together.

I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved and grateful to everyone who's been part of this journey. 300 releases, so many stories, and a whole lot of love for the music.”– Juliet Sikora

The six-track offering brings together a wider circle of artists, each adding their own perspective to the Kittball sound. Jan Rosenthal, Ando K and Ivy Purple join forces on ‘People Talking’, while Midnight Purple deliver ‘Elevate’. ShyMan brings ‘This Is It’, with Nico Zandolino rounding out the collection with ‘Your Love’.

Moving between house, tech house and melodic territories, Kittball 300, Part Two stays focused on the dancefloor, bringing together six distinct cuts that reflect the label’s sonic identity, its community and its continued evolution.

While Part One is still making waves across the dance community, Part Two is here to shake things up even further… and Part Three is still to come.

NORA EN PURE REMIXES HAYLA AND NELLY FURTADO’S ‘FADED’

Swiss-South African producer Nora En Pure puts her distinctive spin on ‘Faded’, the collaboration between acclaimed artists HAYLA and Nelly Furtado. Reimagining the track as an immersive melodic house journey, her remix balances emotional depth with dancefloor appeal. Nora En Pure’s remix of ‘Faded’ is out now on Casablanca Records.

Renowned for her refined production style and ability to bridge electronic music with natural soundscapes, Nora En Pure brings a fresh dimension to ‘Faded’. Her rework places the track’s evocative vocals at the heart of a sophisticated electronic arrangement, pairing atmospheric layers and organic textures with the driving rhythms and melodic sensibility that have become hallmarks of her sound. Road-tested across festivals, club shows and her Purified showcases, from New York to Prague, the remix has been connecting with audiences around the world over the summer months.

Arriving alongside the ‘Faded’ remix, Swiss producer Paradoks takes Nora En Pure’s ‘Space’ in a powerful new direction. Preserving the emotional essence of the original vocals, his rework unfolds into an anthemic progressive journey. Supported in sets by both Paradoks and Nora En Pure across the globe, including at Hï Ibiza, Snow Machine Festival in New Zealand and Piknic Montréal, the remix bridges emotive storytelling with high-impact progressive energy.

Nora En Pure’s recent original ‘Burning Up’, a collaboration with Orem, has quickly become a fan favourite, delivering standout moments in her sets over recent months. With a packed touring schedule and a steady stream of new music, she shows no signs of slowing down. Two Purified events remain on the calendar this year, with the acclaimed event series returning to Amsterdam for Purified ADE on October 23 and heading to São Paulo on November 1, 2026.
