Tim Engelhardt & Leonard Bywa - Chymera EP

Many in New York will know Cityfox as the masterminds behind the sonic playground, The Brooklyn Mirage. Known for their epic Brooklyn parties with state of the art production, the Swiss promoters of course also have their own label. Out now on the Cityfox label, Chymera is a two track EP from Cologne’s incredibly talented artist Tim Engelhardt featuring a collaboration with Leonard Bywa on the title track. Featuring lots of synths, percussion and driving bass, Engelhardt’s two track release is full of melody demonstrating his knack for exceptional production.

Track Of The Moment

Mathew Jonson & Sebastian Mullaert - Pollen 4 Life

Sebastian Mullaert has yet to meet a long production he doesn't like. His tracks often clock over ten minutes: an eternity in the ADHD world of dance music and a great way to ensure that your track is labeled "unusable" by an average DJ. But then again, when one is talking about Sebastian Mullaert one is rarely talking about anything average.
