Ursula's Cartridges - Utopia District Vaporaise 2024 Set

 


VAPORAISE 2024 is the first iteration of a new online festival and charity fundraiser - this year for ALS research. It spans 2 days containing over 50 musicians and 10 visual artists and over 20 hours of performances and this year we are fundraising for and partnering with the ALS Society of Canada.

We were over the moon listening to a massive set by Finland's artist, Ursula's Cartridges at this year's Utopia District Vaporaise. The set was pre-recorded for the event that was held in 14th - 15th of December 2024 and it is a cool introduction to the vaporave vibes, a sound that Ursula's Cartridges is known for.

Calling The Hardcore #014 (6th Dec. 2024)

 



What a night!!
The Volks Club in Brighton has hosted once again a firing night on an extraordinary rave courtesy of the hard working Calling The Hardcore team.
With an extravaganza line-up comprised of NRG, Loftgroover, Billy Daniel Bunter, Try Unity, G Magikal, Skywalka DJ Jedi & Jack Knife, T-Cuts, Anna Prank, Shadowman, Innercore, DJ RadioSam and on the mic Micro & Nino, Strict and Range, the collective have proved again that they're always ahead of their times within the scene. One of the proudest nights out there got the place bonkers on their 14th edition.

You can take a listen to a few sets from that night recorded as played out live (and more to follow next days) and last but not least why not having a look at the official photos from there here

            



Ben Evers FM Never Hurts (incl. Maruwa remix)


Ben Evers has firmly established himself as one of 2024’s most exciting talents in electronic music. This year, he launched his own label with three remarkable releases while continuing to deliver his signature grooves on Live At Robert Johnson. Already well-known as one half of the underground duo Adana Twins, Evers is proving he has plenty to offer as a solo artist. His work spans the house spectrum, with tracks landing on respected labels like Permanent Vacation and Correspondant.

His latest single, "FM Never Hurts," is a full-bodied house anthem laced with old-school rawness. Dusty breakbeats punctuate the breakdown, while rapped vocals ride confidently over driving electronic drums. Trance-tinged melodies shimmer above, giving the track an irresistible bounce and vibrant, energetic sound design. It's a track that effortlessly balances character with club-ready appeal.

On remix duties, Maruwa—a genre-fluid DJ and producer renowned for her versatility—adds her own flair. A resident at the iconic Robert Johnson club and a regular at Panorama Bar, Maruwa’s releases on labels like Steel City Dance Discs and X-Kalay have cemented her reputation as a boundary-pushing artist. Her rework of "FM Never Hurts" injects vibrant synth lines and trance-infused pads into the mix, with bumpy drums and euphoric melodies creating a feel-good energy that’s destined to light up dancefloors everywhere.

Ben Evers’ "FM Never Hurts" drops via Eternal Sunshine on 31st January 2025.
