Sasha once said, ‘progressive isn’t about genres, rather curating across the board and making it hang together’ (or words to that effect) and, with our 41st edition, we hope we’ve achieved just that! The bumper tracklist takes in minimal, bass, breaks, deep, tech, melodic, Afro and indie house across its 75 minute ride, with tracks from Bicep, Four Tet, Innellea, Christian Löffler, GHEIST, Johannes Brecht, Santiago Garcia and more…

The first TSOR of ’24 starts the new year deep! If ever a warm musical hug were needed in these colder months, then look no further than the first third of this 70 minute mix. Drawing on the likes of Steve Bug, Ashee, Dovim and, of course, Sasha it’s an opening chapter designed to fire-up the cockles of even the harshest critic. From there, as the set then shifts through the gears, it features the usual roster of marquee names with Solomun, Carlita, Mita Gami, Jonathan Kaspar, Rex The Dog, and Remcord all going ‘one louder’ on the thermostat.
January also marks our 100th label release, which we fittingly handed over to Sasha Carassi, one of our most-capped artists, who reinterprets his own ‘Ametista’ into a 4/4 bomb. Plus, we welcome the return of Radeckt, who continues his ‘Dope Dance’ momentum with ‘Snake Charmer’, confirming he’s one to watch in ‘24.

Joining them is the usual cavalcade from our label; Samer Soltan appears twice - ‘Time Machine‘ gets a super-cool electronica rework from Mehill, whilst Squire and his Pole Position alter-ego (with partner Loic Brunch) go full tribal Tenaglia-vibes with their highly creative take on ‘Is This A Dream?’. Also double-dropping is David Granha whose ‘No More’ comes remixed by Maori, hot from the breakout success of ‘Spring Girl’, alongside ‘Kalopsia’, which is one of the most beautiful breaks records you’re likely to hear this year and more than justifies finale-honours as it closes out the mix.

But the musical goodness doesn't end there, Keinemuisk, RY X, Steve Bug, WhoMadeWho, Patrice Baumel, Issac and many more also make the tracklist grade. - happy listening!

Kicking-off with our current label release from Dee Montero - ‘Athena’ (taken from the Odisea EP - a project that marks his return to the Renaissance label for the first time in 13 years!), it segues into the haunting ‘Episode’ from Woe who hails from Montreal, a city fast becoming a hot-bed for some of the best electronic music producers on the planet, and Namito’s hair-raising ‘Relentless’.
The mix then goes through its customary gear shift with Sasha-championed Sentre; Milio’s acid-tinged ‘Never Say Never’ and the seminal Dixon edit of Revenge’s Auntie Flo rework, before Dee returns with his EP title track, ‘Odisea’, stunningly remixed by Man Power and Raxon drops the techno bass-bomb ‘2121’.
