When it comes to summer anthems, very few can match the uplifting, positive vibes of the breakbeat that comes from Ireland's island. Whether it's coming from the North (Belfast) or their southern neighbor (Dublin), year after year, producers like Bicep, Hammer, Kev Sheridan, and Long Island Sound to name a few keep dance floors around the world vibing and bursting of positive energy while dancing to their beats.

TRACK OF THE MOMENT: DJ Balduin - Campus [QC Records]

“Well, hello there” am I saying to myself meeting “Campus” for the first few seconds.

PREMIERE: Plant43 - Density Wave [Plant43 Recordings]

In the absence of careless vibey nights, the memories of dancing together are fading. Meeting friends feels like an expedition to a neighboring galaxy. In a time of the limits and isolation, music now more than ever is taking us places, carving a refuge, or spicing up our days.
