3 to 9Aug 2026

Sasha placed 'L'amour' by DJ Lucerox and Eli Brach sixth of 15 in the 'Solex (UA) Summer vibes 2026' chart on 1 August, with Lisbon and Berlin both moving through August. The Extended Mix is filed as Afro House on Xumba Recordings, released on 1 May, tuned at 120 BPM in E flat minor.

Percussion does more of the work than harmony on 'L'amour', its drum pattern even and steady. It sits at a soft level with headroom to spare, and a gentle light reaches the top end without ever glaring. It is a delicate, percussion led piece of Afro house, unhurried in its groove and warm in its restraint.

The label Houstrike put out a tidy club record this summer. 'Can't Stop Movin'' is by a producer known as Boxer.

'Can't Stop Movin'' is filed as Progressive House, released 10 Jun 2026. The artist Boxer was last covered on 7 February, with 'Escape The Fire' on Colorize (Enhanced). The label is Houstrike, which appears to run its own shop at Bandcamp.

In 2026 alone, Boxer is credited with six releases on the label, of which 'Can't Stop Movin'' is one. Dosem placed it second on his Morning Runner Chart (28 Jul) out of 15 tracks, a chart in which three of 15 records are on Houstrike. The track itself is even-handed between drum and tone, dense with hits to the beat at a middling level, with moderate movement under the peaks and a bright top end.

Lloyd Barwood's new track is his first release on Last Night On Earth since 'Chain of Thoughts' on 24 October, a gap of about eight months, and the label's 12th release of 2026, one of 14 so far this year. It is filed as Progressive House, released on 26 June, with Lisbon and Berlin both moving through August. Sultan + Shepard placed it fourth of 20 in the 'Centuries Chart' on 4 August.

The track carries its weight in the drums, with a spare figure running beneath it, held back in level with room left under the peaks and a bright top end lifting the mix. It is a spacious, patient piece of progressive house, restrained in its build and warm in its clarity.

Yulia Niko is playing Amnesia Ibiza as part of the Resistance series on 5 Aug 2026, in a line-up that also includes Adam Beyer, Eric Prydz and Maceo Plex. She has 'Astral Harmony' by RewindSir with her. It was released on Wold Records on 31 Jul 2026 and is a confident melodic techno record. In her Melodig chart of Week 22 (1 Aug), she placed it 13th of 16.

RewindSir creates a crisp, clean production with a rhythmic core that is simple but effective. The track's depth is carried by its harmonic layer, warm pads and a dark, emotional synth line that weave together, creating a sense of space and melancholy that feels both expansive and intimate. This is not a track that relies on complex drum patterns or sudden drops. Instead, it works with a steady, hypnotic momentum, drawing the listener into a state of deep focus. The atmosphere is grand, yet subtle, with an understated elegance that fits perfectly into the more refined corners of the melodic techno spectrum.

Every release from the Selador camp is an event in and of itself. Dave Seaman's 'Nightfalls' has been selected as the label's eighth release of 2026 (so far), and this time Dilby steps up with a remix that brings the track to life all over again.

'Nightfalls' has been something of a secret weapon in Dave's sets of late, and it's not hard to hear why. The original, written by Seaman himself, has that classic sound that has been drawing people to the dancefloor for decades. Dilby's remix is a masterclass in restraint and mood, with a settled drum pattern and plenty of air in the top end. It's a temperate piece of work with a fair amount of give under the peaks, letting the harmony breathe and the groove do its work.

Selador themselves say: "If you've been lucky enough to hear Dave play live recently, you will have heard an old favourite tune enthusiastically pulling back the curtains, blinking at the sun, having a good stretch, and returning to the fray for '26 in majestic, remixed fashion."

It's a fitting description. 'Nightfalls' has been charted by Sultan + Shepard, who placed it third on their Centuries Chart on 4 Aug, and it's easy to see why. With the season in full swing in both Mykonos and Ibiza, this is one for the long, warm nights.
