Denis Horvat has included the Radeckt Remix of 'Testamona feat. Lilli Ellen' in his latest olfactory chart, which was published on 13 August. The record was placed fifth of the ten tracks in the chart.

The original 'Testamona feat. Lilli Ellen' was made by Denis Horvat and Lilli Ellen, and the Radeckt Remix was released on Vokabularium on 12 Jun 2026. Three of the ten records in Denis Horvat's olfactory chart are on Vokabularium.

Denis Horvat has 59 releases since 17 February 2010, mostly on Innervisions (seven), Spinnin Compilations (five), Afterlife Records (five) and Armada Electronic Elements (five). The most recent before this was '25 Years Cocoon Recordings - Volume Two' on Cocoon Recordings, 5 June 2026. He was last covered on 22 March, with 'Mayflies' on Cercle Records.

The Brazilian DJ and producer Bhaskar placed 'Soul Gazing' at the top of his personal Soul Gazing Chart on 11 August, and it is easy to hear why. A piece of progressive house that favours a soft, even hand over the harder or more complex end of the genre, 'Soul Gazing' has a drum figure that stays steady and uncluttered, so the track lives in its atmosphere rather than in its rhythm. The balance between drum and tone is an even one, with a soft level that leaves headroom to spare and a lit top end that keeps the feeling bright.

'Soul Gazing' arrives on Sounds of Quartzo in an Extended Mix. It follows Bhaskar's 'Synchronicity', which came out on the same label on 22 May 2026 and which was the last release he put out before this one. Since 1 December 2017, Bhaskar has released 30 records, with most of his work landing on Spinnin' Records, which accounts for 17 of those releases. He has also released three times on Monstercat, twice on Found Frequencies and twice on Tomorrowland Music. His previous chart-topping single, 'Discoteka', came out on CONTROVERSIA on 30 March of this year and was last covered in these pages on the same date.

Yulia Niko's remix of 'Silence', a collaboration between IVAN MASA and LVDOVICA, tops her own Melodic chart this week and is out now on AXEPT.

The Yulia Niko Extended Remix takes the track into open, glowing territory, where wide, airy chords do most of the work above a beat that keeps its own counsel. A gentle sense of lift runs through it, the mix letting the elements breathe rather than stacking them, and the restraint serves the vocal well. It is the kind of record that feels bigger for what it leaves out.

The original version and the extended mix are out now on AXEPT, the label keeping up its steady run of releases this year.

In this era of short-form content, producers have an inclination to grab the listener's attention quickly, but for all of its melodic flourishes, the original 'Garden of Time' is a patient, widescreen work that lets its elements breathe. Alex Galvan has a knack for creating the kind of melodic pieces that make their way through the club, and this satelite release is no exception, arriving alongside a massive remix package.

'Garden of Time' is driven not by a single defining hook, but by a sturdy drum figure that remains busy in every section, giving the track a sense of continuity while chords wash in and out above it. The sound is loud, with peaks that leave little room for give, a quality that adds intensity but can also create a sense of relentless forward motion, well suited to peak-time moments.

Among the most striking new interpretations comes from Colossio, whose remix tightens the arrangement and brings the drums even further forward, reframing the original's sprawling feel into something more immediate. This is music that lives between the introspective and the functional, balancing its melodic core with a serious intent for the dancefloor. As one of the label's eight releases this year, it fits neatly into the groove Satelite Records has carved out for itself in 2026.

Matador himself was last heard from on 11 April, with 'Mince', also released on Rukus. Matador has released widely through Perc Trax, Minus, Yoshitoshi Recordings and Armada Music over the years, building a fairly long and quite varied catalogue with each of those labels in turn.

'Olfactory' itself runs at a fairly steady 132 BPM, out on Rukus, credited jointly to both Matador and Denis Horvat together, a fresh pairing on the label together, and a new chapter for both artists on Rukus itself.
