#3 GUEST MIX WITH @novalumusic
BIO ///
Progressing into the Drum & Bass scene is Leipzig-based electronic music producer and media
artist NOVALU (aka Anis Heit). Generating his own vision for the genre. With a background in
fine arts and computer science, NOVALU fuses intricate sound design, emotionally driven bass
music, and a distinct artistic vision into a unique audiovisual experience.
Following multiple years of producing Electronic Bass Music and a variety of emotive Electronic
beats under the PĂśTHUS alias, the NOVALU project ventures to manifest his audio-visual
perspective with Drum & Bass.
After debuting a string of singles in 2022 and 2023—including a collaboration with long-time
creative partner Cuepric—NOVALU gained support from platforms like Data Transmission Drum
& Bass, All172Things, and Rendah Mag. His 2023 debut EP Path to Emptiness, released via
Sound Museum, featured collaborations with Cuepric and Leipzig-based artist VRUM, earning
further recognition from outlets like Studio and performances at festivals including Fusion and
Subardo.
Later that year, he self-released his 'Veiled Ep', including his so far most successfuls track
'Veiled', a haunting and technical Drum & Bass roller that marked his most successful release to
date, premiered by Studio. After a short break and production phase he returned in late 2024 -
early 2025 widening his repertoire with his debut album 'Last Chance' and an unexpected new
sound. An intimate and personal electronic pop album containing a variety of genres from
ambient to autotune hip hop, some drum and bass, future bass and stutter house.
Now, in the second half of 2025, NOVALU is circling back to the dancefloor with a new Drum &
Bass EP in the works—further deepening his commitment to sonic experimentation and
immersive storytelling.

#3 GUEST MIX WITH @novalumusic
01 NOVALU – Different
One of my favorite songs from my latest album. It didn’t get much attention or many streams, but I still think it’s a very cool track that just didn’t find its audience yet.
02 Skrillex & Nai Barghouti – Xena (NOVALU DNB FLIP)
I’ve always wanted to weave my Arabic roots into my music. I made this flip in a single night after hearing the original track and uploaded it the next morning.
03 NOVALU – Unlove Me
This one carries a lot of personal meaning. I was going through a really rough time while writing it, and I’m eternally grateful to my friend and fellow producer Cuepric, who sensed how important this project was to me and helped bring the visuals to life.
04 NOVALU – Veiled
My most successful track (based on streams). The Veiled EP as a whole has always felt like my most complete project — everything from the visuals to the mix came together beautifully and was also well received by the audience.
05 Emma Philine – Running Out of Time
I contributed to the production on this one. I’m not entirely happy with the final result, but it still shows another side of my production style that most people probably haven’t heard before.

#1 GUEST MIX WITH @jfiv3_
BIO**
Jfiv3 was not particularly immersed in culture and the arts in his youth, coming from a modest family where music was mainly popular and commercial.
Born in the 90s, he was around ten years old when hip-hop became popular in the home. He remembers loving the groove and dynamic rhythms of the music of the 2000s.
In his teens, he began his musical education with rock and metal, in a bid to emancipate himself from his peers and find a more marginal identity, driven by a rage against social norms and conventions.
This was followed by the discovery of sound system culture, with its dub and powerful bass, a huge musical blow that left an indelible mark on his mind. Then came the discovery of free parties and electronic music. This was another big turning point in his musical tastes, as he rediscovered the hard, fringe metal of his teenage years.
A lover of nature and particularly the plant world, in which he worked professionally, he began mixing his first tracks in the psytrance vein.
Calm and curious, he is also interested in folk music from different continents as well as ambient and psychedelic music.
So it was natural that he turned to Bass Music: the bass echoing sound systems, the sharp snare brought back from hip-hop and the strong rhythms reminding him of the energy of amplified music.
In his selections, he likes to fuse his musical imagination, distilling a blend of his various sonic influences to create an eclectic and singular whole.
