Soulful house pioneer and London-based DJ Paris Cesvette returns with her highly anticipated second album, ‘As Above, So Below’, released on DJ Spen’s Quantize Recordings. Following her chart-topping 2018 debut ‘Celestial’, this album weaves a deeply spiritual narrative through uplifting lyrics, expertly crafted grooves, and vocal performances that make it an unmissable experience for any house music lover.

Ranging from smooth, sensual melodies to tracks with an empowering energy, each song is crafted to resonate with the soul and keep listeners moving.
Paris shares: “This album is the second songbook from my heart to yours. My mission is to expand soulful, RnB, jazz-infused house music and inspire a new generation to love and appreciate house music from its 80s roots to today.”
Known for her seamless blend of genres, Paris has earned global recognition as a DJ and producer, with a Grammy Recording Academy membership, a remix of Kinky Roland & Boy George’s ‘You’re Not The One’ up for Grammy consideration, and an impressive catalog of releases on her label, Our People, Our Music.

Renegade Riddims: DJ Xylo
15 October 2024 - Shelley Dodds
After over a decade in the underground rave scene and countless hours spent in bedroom studios, DJ Xylo made his official debut in the late 2020s. His first single was a major milestone, not just for him but also for his label, Xylo Records. DJ Xylo has carved out a signature sound in electronic music by combining tribal rhythms with immersive soundscapes, tapping into something both primal and deeply natural.
His latest release, ‘Walk Away’ (2024), is a collaboration that shows off his evolving style—a mix of emotional depth and energetic beats that really hits home with Drum & Bass fans. Beyond his music, DJ Xylo is passionate about using his platform for good. His ‘Rhythms of Empathy’ project, which supports War Child UK, is all about connecting music to humanitarian causes.
Xylo Records is all about nurturing up-and-coming talent in the Drum & Bass community. The label is known for its creative spirit and dedication to quality, with a diverse lineup of artists and a real focus on community.
DJ Xylo’s discography includes standout tracks like ‘We Can Rise,’ ‘Dreams (Close Your Eyes),’ and ‘Underground,’ each one showing off his range as an artist. His live shows have been widely praised, with appearances on stations like Flex FM 101.4. And his music videos? They’re a perfect extension of his artistry, visually bringing his complex soundscapes to life.
Today DJ Xylo joins our Renegade Riddims series with a brand new mix which features music from artists such as himself, Levela, Dominator & Turno, Kasra & Enei, Geometrikk, Ego Trippin, Gino, The Sauce and more!
Check out the mix below and download it for free here!

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
A journey through deep bass, sub-genres, and untamed energy.
What’s your personal favourite track on it? 
That’s a really tough question because every tune in this set does something unique for it.. I’m gonna choose Gino’s remix of Sammi Virji’s ‘Never Let You Go’ because it embodies the raw emotion and powerful energy I aimed for in this set.
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
The blend of tribal rhythms with a modern drum and bass twist. It’s about connecting the primal with the future.
Tell us about your next EP… 
My next EP will be my first, I’ve been working so hard on the Rhythms of Empathy project, for now, I’ll continue releasing singles to build my fanbase – I want my first EP to drop with a bang!
What have you got coming up?
We’ve got many more releases lined up on Xylo Records… Later this month we’ll release the final volume taken from the Rhythms of Empathy project for War Child Uk and there’s some amazing music on there. I’m working with some incredible new talent, and we’re also building up a catalogue of exciting projects for next year. Keep an eye out!
When was the last time you actually raved?
A few months back at Hybrid Minds’ gig in Alexandra Palace, it was wild to feel the energy in there!
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Music isn’t just something we listen to – it’s a lifestyle we lead that brings us unity. It connects us to the past, grounds us in the present, and guides us toward the future. No matter what’s happening around you, you can always trust in music to be there for you, embrace the flow, and let it carry you where you need to be.

15 October 2024 - Grahame Farmer
This October, Danish producer NILU (DK) showcases his ‘Shake For Me’ EP on Zatar Music, featuring standout remixes from Dutch electronic powerhouse Mason. Known for his eclectic, genre-defying sound, Mason has reimagined ‘Shake For Me’ with his signature energy, transforming it into an essential club track.
The original ‘Shake For Me’ by NILU (DK) blends sultry house vibes with indie dance, driven by a slinky groove and seductive vocals. An extended version stretches the track to seven minutes, perfect for DJs looking to fully set the mood.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPNcFHaT_IM?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




Mason’s remix adds another dimension, taking listeners on a powerful, fast-paced journey with rising instrumentation and a heavier drum line. His extended mix promises to resonate across festival stages, while his instrumental version dives straight into the heart of the beat, stripping back vocals to spotlight a raw, bass-heavy rhythm.
Mason has built a career pushing boundaries, from his iconic hit ‘Exceeder’ to recent releases with Island Records, Defected, and Sweat It Out. Known for breaking away from trends, Mason brings his innovative touch to the remix, combining groove, melody, and an edge that leaves a lasting impact.

Ben Evers serves up the second EP on his own Eternal Sunshine label
15 October 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Ben Evers will release his second EP on his own label Eternal Sunshine titled ‘Acid Orchestra’ on 18th October.
German house innovator Ben Evers is back with a bang, delivering the second release on his label Eternal Sunshine. Following a stellar first single and a strong EP on Live At Robert Johnson, Ben is charting a fresh solo path after years as one-half of the Adana Twins. Known for his impact on labels like Permanent Vacation and Correspondant, Ben’s latest project dives deep into fresh influences and unmistakable house and techno energy.
Leading the ‘Acid Orchestra’ EP is the title track, a commanding house cut that marries militant drums with snappy hi-hats and a thudding kick. A rippling 303 line weaves through the mix, while dark, rumbling bass and menacing spoken words add layers of peak-time intensity. This is a classic house reimagined for the modern dancefloor.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfOF0_d2zLE?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




The EP’s second track, ‘Breakout Riddim’, channels ‘90s rave nostalgia with slamming kicks and old-school horns for a high-energy vibe. Rudeboy vocals provide a nod to classic UK sounds, making this one a nostalgia-tinged banger perfect for festival season.
Adding to the package, Man Power—the genre-blurring producer known for his dark disco, thrilling techno, and standout releases on Me Me Me, Freeride Millenium, and Rekids—steps in with a remix of ‘Acid Orchestra’. Fresh off his debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Man Power delivers a lithe, elastic rework with deft acid touches, ragged synths, and a pulsing techno groove that’s primed for the heart of the dancefloor.
Ben Evers’ ‘Acid Orchestra’ EP drops via Eternal Sunshine on October 18th, 2024—don’t miss this high-energy, genre-blending release from one of house music’s finest.
We premiere ‘Breakout Riddim’ on Data Transmission, check it out here and grab it here!
