Marie Vaunt & FLKN – Addicted to You
Label: Kurai Records

“My collaboration with FLKN ‘Addicted to You’, released on my label Kurai Records, has quickly become one of those tracks that just hits every time it’s dropped. Built for peak-time energy and big-room reactions, it’s been a staple in my sets and consistently gets the crowd moving. The release has also been picking up strong momentum online, earning great support across Spotify playlists and charting on Beatport. It’s a record that really captures the sound and direction of the label, and a collaboration I’m especially happy with.”

Enveak & Matt Lucker – What Would I Do
Label: Kurai Records

“‘What Would I Do’ by Enveak and Matt Lucker is another standout release from Kurai Records and a perfect example of the label’s global vision. Bringing together Enveak’s polished French production style with Matt Lucker’s high impact Canadian edge, the track strikes a powerful balance between euphoric trance elements and driving peak time techno energy. It is the kind of record that instantly lifts the room hands in the air full momentum and has become a go to weapon for club sets where you need that extra surge of emotion and intensity on the dancefloor.”

Nick Acid & Miss N-Traxx – Take Off
Label: Neptun Records

“Nick Acid and Miss N-Traxx have quickly established themselves as two of the most exciting names coming up in acid techno over the past year, and this release is a perfect showcase of their signature sound. Driving, high energy and packed with character, the track delivers everything you want from modern acid techno, making it an instant and unmistakable dancefloor weapon. Their creative chemistry is undeniable, and with several more releases lined up this year on Kurai Records, it is safe to say this is only the beginning. Every record they touch brings serious heat, and the next wave of tracks is already shaping up to be just as heavy hitting.”

Maddix & Olly James & Hannah Laing – Transmission
Label: Extatic Records

“If I had to sum this track up in one word, it would be legendary. Bringing together three of the hottest names in the scene right now, Maddix, Olly James, and Hannah Laing deliver a no compromise rave anthem that hits with pure impact from the first drop to the last. It is the kind of record that instantly ignites the dancefloor, cutting through any system with unstoppable energy and crowd reaction. A true mainstage weapon and one of those tracks that leaves a lasting mark long after the night is over.”

NAEMS – Acid Sh*t
Label: Kurai Records

“This track is an absolute acid weapon. I have been dropping it in my sets for the past few months ahead of its release, and it has never failed to send the dancefloor into overdrive. Every time it comes in, you can feel the energy of the crowd locking in and the room moving as one. If anyone is searching for that record that truly ignites the floor, this is without a doubt the one.”

HOF (DE) – Kakusei
Label: Kurai Records

“HOF masterfully brings the atmosphere to life on this one, infusing the track with rich, anime-inspired vibes that give it a serious sense of scale. The standout moment is definitely the choir-led breakdown, which adds a layer of emotion and tension before shifting back into the drive of the track. The production is nothing short of impeccable, with the transition between the epic choral sections and the drop handled perfectly. It’s a true standout and a powerful weapon for any set.”
