British drum & bass artist Al-Bé has released “Slept Through”, a new chilled D&B track built around atmospheric production and introspective storytelling.
The song combines airy pads, deep sub-bass, and rolling percussion to tell the story of a man drifting through life, with the line “Rip Van Winkle slept through his life” acting as a recurring theme throughout the record. The vocals move between reflective and raw moments while the production remains smooth, hypnotic, and melodic.
Drawing from cinematic and liquid drum & bass influences, the release focuses on emotion and storytelling over aggressive production styles.
“Slept Through” by Al-Bé is out now on all streaming platforms.
British artist Sam Way has released 5th version of his work “Alchemy”, which takes the lyrics in a form of spoken word and delivers them wrapped about anevolving piano composition.
The track is made for late night studies, looking out the window in a car and reflecting of your life and choices, a cinematic and profound inquiry into transformational power of art and the healing element of the creative expression.
Featuring Julian Marley, ArrDee, Ramz and more, the 9-track LP debuts A!MS’ new ‘Global Street’ sound, channeling the rebellious spirit of pirate radio while fusing it with his Mediterranean cultural roots and Cypriot/Lebanese/Italian DNA.
Global Street, or Street Global, “depending how street or how global you want it to sound” is a new genre for the outsiders, a sound identity for those beyond traditional industry definitions. Rooted in hip hop and UK garage, A!MS says “it’s built for the
creators of today – influencers, streamers, sneaker collectors, and more – and shaped by the idea that the next global star can come from anywhere. It’s a genre that breaks the limits others try to impose, where music is timeless, art is limitless, and the power is back in the hands of the people.”
Co-produced hitmaking duo Cool & Dre, the album also boasts productions credits from Antaeus, Michelin Shin, Golden and others
The project comes to life through a series of star-studded tracks; ‘Light & Love’, a collaboration with the iconic Julian Marley, Antaeus, and Hypertone, delivers a bold message of unity and upliftment. Another highlight is ‘Need Somebody’ with UK chart-topper ArrDee, oozing with infectious Afrobeat energy.
The Peak Season album was made in Cyprus, a place described by A!MS as a “music industry desert”. This gave A!MS space away from London’s hustle to find his own sound.
He describes it as his version of what Jamaica was for Bob Marley: a creative haven, free from noise and influence, where something truly global could be born.
In the build-up to the album this summer, A!MS is once again hosting a series of his hugely popular Wave Fests at WaterWorld WaterPark in A!MS’ current base of Ayia Napa in Cyprus. This year, revellers will be treated to sets by ‘Need Somebody’ feature artist ArrDee, Lil Pump, B Young, Dappy, Oxlade, Ramz, Wiley, ZieZie and A!MS himself. This unique multi-sensory event boasts The Biggest Sound System in the Mediterranean and has received TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award.
LX8 has just released “Ghosts of Sound – TANIT TRANCE ANTHEM”, a euphoric dance track of synth pads, darbouka drum, Berber flute and oud, steeped in the sensory Mediterranean soundscape of ancient Carthage and its Phoenician goddess Tanit.
A mystical sonic journey from coastal Lebanon to the Maghreb and the island of Ibiza, immersing listeners into the science fiction world of the alternative history novel series THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES, created and written by Henry Chebaane, the artist behind the LX8 (Life x Infinity) project.
This new mix of his cult dance track GHOSTS OF SOUND is an arm-waving, euphoric trance number that comes in two flavours: a six-minute sprawling club mix and a shorter radio edit of four minutes. Both tracks form part of a forthcoming double LP, a concept album steeped in the lore of his graphic novels.
The song Ghosts of Sound is the title of vol.2 in the graphic novel series, due to be published early 2026 by SUPANOVA MEDIA. This second book and related songs follow on from the acclaimed first novel TIMES OF LONDON, published in 2023.
THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES narrate the story of Alex Campbell, a multi-cultural female music composer who struggles with a conflicted identity, a traumatic past and repressed supernatural abilities while fighting a violent supremacist cult through Time.
In the novel Ghosts of Sound, Alex – a DJ and EDM producer, travels back to the 19th century and uses electronic dance music to boost the courage of a community of immigrants fighting off a tyrannical imperialist power.
The novel is a blend of science-fiction, horror, and alternative history that invites questions about contemporary social issues; spiced by hints of humour, pop culture and references that will appeal to dance music lovers of all genres.
LX8 is the musical alias for French-British songwriter, artist, author, filmmaker and designer Henry Chebaane.
A recent arrival on the EDM scene, LX8 music style defies easy description but can be summarised as a “sonic quest into the human consciousness and the nature of reality.” A fan of house and trance music of the last four decades, LX8 wants to keep these sounds alive and inclusive for a new generation of global listeners from all cultures.
The concept double LP is a sonic exploration of The Panharmonion Chronicles story and its speculative universe, blending euphoric trance and melodic techno with dark cinematic drama, layered sound design and experimental synth textures.
As an award-winning multimedia storyteller, Henry Chebaane also produces and directs his own videos, often set in locations he has designed himself.
