The long-awaited collaboration between Smokey Bubblin’ B, Guy Burns and James Poole lands November 28th on Disorder, already championed by Chris Stussy, Patrick Topping and Jamie Jones

London-born producer and DJ Smokey Bubblin’ B continues his evolution from UKG mainstay to boundary-blurring house luminary with his brand-new single ‘Temptation’, out Friday, 28th November via Disorder, alongside producers Guy Burns and James Poole.

The track marks an exciting collaboration between the trio, brought together by their shared creative energy and genre-fluid approach to dance music. Written in just one afternoon, ‘Temptation’ sports an effortless chemistry and deep, rolling house melody infused with Smokey’s trademark garage swing. ‘Temptation’ sets the tone for the next wave of the UKG-meets-House movement.

After being played by Joseph Capriati during his Paradise closing set b2b with Jamie Jones, the track caught the attention of Chris Stussy, who has since become one of its biggest supporters. Already gaining underground traction on dancefloors across Europe, ‘Temptation’ continues Smokey’s streak of crossover success stories.

For fans of Smokey Bubblin’ B, ‘Temptation’ represents another milestone in a huge year that’s seen him release on TSZR, Higher Ground and ATW, as well as draw consistent support from the scene’s heaviest hitters including Peggy Gou, Michael Bibi, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, Patrick Topping, East End Dubs, Gaskin, and Archie Hamilton (famously helping ‘Poison’ go viral). His sets have soundtracked major institutions such as Boomtown, Drumsheds and Hideout , as well as a busy run of European and Australasian tour dates. Smokey’s influence continues to expand globally, with his hits ‘Poison’ and ‘Young World’ having amassed over 39 million streams combined, and viral moments which have seen his tracks featured everywhere from Fred again..’s Boiler Room to Lando Norris’ social posts.

A respected figure in both UKG and House, Smokey Bubblin’ B’s collaborations and remixes span wide from Sammy Virji and Riordan to Peggy Gou, Todd Terry, and Groove Armada cementing his reputation as one of the most versatile producers in the scene right now.

Reviving his Soul Speech moniker, first single “Break The Rules (For You)” featuring Leeds-based indie band King No-One channels 80s new wave electro.

Stefano Miele AKA Riva Starr revives his Soul Speech moniker to launch new label “OPENEYE” – a platform to explore an eclectic world of music, beginning with “Break The Rules (For You)” featuring King No-One.

An ethos built on the freedom to create has been at the heart of everything Stefano Miele has done throughout his prolific career as a music producer, DJ, and label owner; as he launches new label OPENEYE, the commitment to discovery, facilitating creativity, and musical expression has never been stronger.

Sitting detached from his club-focused work as Riva Starr and Snatch!, OPENEYE is a fresh project: an outlet for the studio sessions with musicians that are creatively fulfilling, yet sonically ambiguous or unexpected. The first single, an 80s-inspired track that channels the vocals and dark electronica of new wave pioneers like Joy Division and Morrisey, is a strong signal that the label isn’t trying to pander to trends. A collaboration with Leeds-based band King No-One, Stef explains that “it’s not an era that the new generation know much about, I love the edgy ‘punk’ attitude of songwriting from that period – there are so many stories to tell!”

“Break the rules is about that powerful feeling when you would do absolutely anything to be close to someone. You’d ignore morals, law and rules just to get close to the person who brings colour to the otherwise grey world.” – King No-One

“I want to build a collective” Stef says of the label, “a place for like-minded musicians to explore lyrics and genuine musicality without the pressure of social media, streaming numbers, or profile.” A response to the overwhelming online noise that surrounds us, Stef hopes to encourage artists to “go deeper into the song-writing process, find a sense of self-awareness, and make heartfelt music that isn’t superficial.”

Leveraging his many years’ experience in the music industry, OPENEYE is a place to connect with and cultivate the broad array of talent he’s increasingly working with through studio sessions. “There is no pressure to deliver a viral hit, I just want to have an outlet to deliver consistently good music and a place for me to collaborate with real talent, grassroots artists who may not have a voice, or artists who are doing something weird and wonderful.”

The label launch sees Stef revive his Soul Speech pseudonym, he describes it as “a magician’s hat that is filled with inspiration – sounds and genres from every decade – that I can reach into and pull out treasures.” The studio sessions that power Soul Speech are “always different” he says, “they’re opportunities to connect different points of view, explore possibilities, and capture a priceless magic that you only get when working face-to-face.”

OPENEYE and Soul Speech are the next steps in a storied musical journey that has already spanned decades, but above all, creativity is still the priority: “I know from experience that no matter how famous or ‘big’ you are, the music that gets noticed is always high quality”.

Unveiled amidst the immersive spectacle of Cercle Odyssey, the track reflects a meditative evolution in Kalkbrenner’s sonic journey—an ode to techno’s timeless pulse.

Following a landmark return after 7 years, with his latest album ‘The Essence’, Paul Kalkbrenner makes his highly anticipated debut on Cercle Records with his new single ‘Vier:Drei’.

Premiered during his Cercle Odyssey YouTube Live Show, the track captures the essence of Paul Kalbrenner’s signature sound, a refined blend of emotional depth and raw techno power. ‘Vier:Drei’ builds around a hypnotic, driving bassline, while airy, Balearic-tinged percussion and radiant synth layers inject a sense of euphoria.

Tried and tested across his recent global live shows, the track represents a new peak in Kalkbrenner’s constant evolution, balancing meditative introspection with dancefloor impact. With ‘Vier:Drei’, he reaffirms his status as a singular force in electronic music — uncompromising, innovative, and deeply resonant. This release marks not only a key moment in his own artistic journey, but also a landmark for Cercle Records.

Paul Kalkbrenner is a Berlin-born techno producer and live performer, active for over two decades. Emerging from the 1990s underground scene, he stood out early on by performing live sets made entirely of his own productions. His role in the film “Berlin Calling” and its soundtrack, especially ‘Sky & Sand’, marked a turning point in his career. Rejecting the traditional DJ format, he developed a singular relationship with the stage, defined by sonic precision and a strong physical presence. He has released eight albums, building a consistent body of work that blends electronic melancholy with rhythmic intensity.

He has performed on major stages, including Tomorrowland and the official ceremony for the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. After a period with Columbia Records, he returned to an independent path in 2022. His ‘Back to the Future’ mixtape project revisits his rave roots and reflects his deep connection to techno’s history. Kalkbrenner embodies a personal vision of electronic music — one that bridges collective memory and intimate storytelling.

bees & honey are truly border spanning, with roots stretching across Germany, UK, France, Russia, and Jamaica, their artistic output looks to channel the pulse of Berlin’s underground with the soul and rhythm of Africa’s contemporary soundscape.
