May was a month with a wave of new music that also reflected the coming shift into summer. Uplifting vibes and soaring melodies took the forefront while still keeping their groove and bits of darker more winter synth sounds weaved throughout the months releases.
Stand-out tracks this month include an epic original by Ric Niels titled “Invasion” on Deepwibe Underground as well as new music by Sasha & Mr Sosa for Last Night On Earth. Additionally Federico Fioretti delivers his powerful new original “Hypnos” on Guy Gerber’s label Rumors.
Continuing into the chart we see Michael A remixing Abstrakted’s “Long Road Home” on Laika Sounds. The month also included a must hear original release from New York City duo Sleepy & Boo “Lucent” on Where The Heart Is.

Three superb Sasha collaborations to celebrate on this new EP from LNOE’s TEN series, with focus in our charts on his track “Who Are U” partnering with up and coming producer Mr. Sosa.
Sasha’s collaboration with Mr. Sosa has a more contemporary vibe, with masterfully pitch-shifted vocals and chords that discharge tension in any room.
The upcoming producer has gained momentum with his acid and breaks-influenced house, releasing on Of Unsound Mind, Anjunadeep and Street Tracks this year alone.
Since his 2016 debut on Glasgow Underground, Turin’s Federico Fioretti (IT) has released on Saved, This And That, and more, with his tracks picking up support from Bedouin, Nic Fanciulli, and of course, Guy Gerber. Making his first appearance on Gerber’s Rumors imprint, the Italian DJ/producer delivers two floaty house tracks for his magnetic Hypnos EP.
With the title track “Hypnos”, Fioretti offers a pumping jam peppered with shuffling percussion, vocal samples, and wiggling synth lines. With forthcoming music also due on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Fioretti has cemented himself as one to watch closely in the future.
Abstrakted is the current brainchild of producer Colin C. [Lost Language, Cyber Recordings, Thrive/Renaissance, Global Underground, System Recordings] exploring soundscapes that mesh Ambient with Techno in exploratory fashion.
His latest track “Long Road Home” gets a chugging new remix by progressive and melodic artist Michael A on this Laika Sounds release.

Late Night Music presents Australian producer James Beetham‘s second EP on the imprint – Silicon – featuring two gritty progressive house tracks.
The driving title track is pushed along by melancholic guitar tones, contrasting with the chaotic yet hypnotic second track, “Conjunction” that is our favorite pick here.
