A/S/L delivers after-hours energy on “Easy Flirt”
Los Angeles–based producer A/S/L returns with “Easy Flirt,” the second single from his forthcoming third EP, Burnt Out Disco For Club Rats. Built for the late hours, the track fuses bootlegged vocal chops with a driving French house bassline, locking into a raw, physical groove made for warehouse floors at peak hour. Disco euphoria flickers through the mix as systems push into the red—gritty, hypnotic, and unapologetically functional.
Over the past year, A/S/L has earned strong editorial support across all major DSPs, alongside continued radio airplay from BBC Radio 1, Triple J, and KCRW. Known for blending nostalgic dance references with a modern club sensibility, he’s carved out a lane that feels both reverent and forward-moving—music rooted in feel and function, not trend-chasing.
With “Easy Flirt,” A/S/L continues to sharpen the vision behind Burnt Out Disco For Club Rats—a project rooted in after-hours energy, sweat-soaked rooms, and the communal release of the dancefloor. It’s a track that understands the moment when the night peaks, when polish gives way to pressure, and when the groove is all that matters.

loveoleglove turns emotional distance into a haunting reflection with “Through the Glass (violin)”
“Through the Glass (violin)” starts with a recognisable image by loveoleglove. The winter sun seems warm when you’re inside with the windows up, but go outside and it’s a different matter. And then the song folds that glass into something more personal, something about screens and distance and walls people build up between themselves and how they really feel.
Reason vs. safety in the writing, the danger of being so comfortable behind those shields, the feeling is beginning to fade. Control The electronic pulse fighting emotion in the violin It’s the push and the pull that makes the song so great, half of it holding it down, half of it trying to get loose.
The last word: Break the glass. The emotional high point of the song is “Step into the cold”. It suggests that real feeling isn’t always comfortable, but maybe the discomfort is livelier than the fake warmth. “Through the Glass (violin)” is a simple image turned into a contemplative reflection on the meeting of safety and prison.

Album Review
Orshina turns personal grief into a powerful message of remembrance on “Requiem for “NOVA”” (album)
Orshina’s new album, “Requiem for “NOVA”,” is emotionally charged, turning personal pain into a message of remembrance, healing, and hope. The result is a blend of ambient and rock that explores the raw emotions of loss and reflection. The album is a journey through a very difficult creative process, crossing grief, rage, trauma, and collective pain, not forgetting the importance of remembering those who are no more.
The album was recorded mostly at Orshina’s home studio and features violinist Maianne Tur, drummer Roey Brosh, and vocalists Idit Eshel and Shiran Tzfira. Additional drums and mixing were done at Leon Sound Pro. The album opens with “Graveyard Blues,” which lays out the core themes of grief and loss. It serves as a reflective launchpad, drawing you into the project’s emotional weight.
“Bread & Circus” looks outward, exploring the dissonance between private grief and a world obsessed with entertainment. The song asks how easy it is to miss serious pain when the attention is elsewhere. With “Hell In Paradise,” Orshina explores the difficulty of carrying trauma in a world that can feel peaceful on the surface.
“Rest In Music” takes music to a place you can visit when it’s hard to understand or put feelings into words. The song is also about the creative process as a way to sit with complicated feelings and begin working through them. “Dressed up for the Devil” is a darker emotional journey, dealing with grief as well as anger, bitterness, and destructive thoughts.
The album moves from the personal to the historical tragedy with “Holocausts and Slavery,” the collective suffering. In a project of remembrance, Orshina places these subjects within a larger responsibility to recognize painful histories and link them to individual grief. Through “Requiem for “NOVA,”” the artist creates a musical statement about healing and the importance of keeping memories alive through a difficult creative process. “Requiem for “NOVA”” is a tribute to the lost, a reminder that hope can exist alongside sorrow.
