Alan Fitzpatrick presents a four-track techno release from Ilona Maras who drops her This is Your Diss EP via his record label We Are The Brave.
Ilona Maras could well be one of the breakthrough techno acts of 2025, following a busy 2024 where she frequented Clif Jack’s MJA the Vision, alongside other imprints including Frankyeffe‘s Riot Recordings.
This is Your Diss has already picked up DJ support from names like Marco Faraone and Monika Kruse, and Alan Fitzpatrick has no-doubt also championed the music on this release in his recent DJ sets.
Each track brings something different to the table, and whichever favourite catches your eye will depend on personal preference, and which techno sub-genre you enjoy most.
The title track, “This is Your Diss” closes out the release with an underground sound that has upbeat vocal snippets and fast-paced synth stabs delivering a raw and hypnotic groove.
“No Sleep Baby” is a chunky track that has brutal claps and intense stabs creating a hulking groove that packs one hell of a punch.
“Poisoned Wine” has a more mainstream techno sound with euphoric pads and emotive vocals being driven by a throbbing bassline and thickset drums.
“New York Undercover” is a spacious track with old-school synth chords and a cheeky vocal sample built on a framework of hammering percussion.
Overall, it’s a well-sculpted release that showcases Ilona Maras to be a dynamic techno producer.

Brighton-based Motive Audio is back with another quality release, bringing their signature rolling, techy Drum & Bass vibes. This time, they’ve got Dutch talent EM@IL stepping up with a slick two-tracker, ‘Sunbeam / Pink Blossom’, that’s all about style and substance.
EM@IL, real name Emiel, is a 24-year-old producer and DJ from Amersfoort in the Netherlands – a country that lives and breathes electronic music. Growing up in such a vibrant scene, it wasn’t long before he got stuck into DJing and learning the ropes on FL Studio. Fast forward a few years, and he’s already making waves with a release on Four Corners Music last year and regular DJ bookings that keep him sharp behind the decks.
First up, ‘Sunbeam’ kicks things off with precision. Sharp percussion cuts through a silky, dub-infused backdrop, packed with jungle vibes and dub sirens for good measure. The track builds beautifully, teasing darker, more menacing energy as it progresses. It’s a proper stepper, perfect for setting dance floors alight with high-energy vibes.
Then there’s ‘Pink Blossom’, which takes a more atmospheric route. It eases you in with crisp drums, smooth synths, and a hint of eerie sonar. A dreamy vocal comes through, giving off early Perez or Jubei vibes, before the track locks into a tight roll-out. Murky stabs and clean snares tie it all together, making it a real head nodder.
With this release, EM@IL shows he’s got the skills and sound to make a big impact in the scene. Motive Audio, as always, stays ahead of the curve, championing fresh talent and keeping things exciting for Drum & Bass heads everywhere.
Today we premiere ‘Sunbeam’ which you can check out below. The release drops on Monday 19th January, you can get your hands on a copy here!
