Some tracks exist for dancefloors. These two exist for tarmac.
1. Tinlicker - Reborn
The arpeggios come in and immediately it’s the late 90s and trance is the most important thing in the universe. Tinlicker spent three albums getting more refined, and then just went back to what got them started — rippling synths and urgent stabs, the kind of build that makes you grip the steering wheel tighter without realising. It runs close to nine minutes and earns every one of them. The third single off their fourth album, and the first Tinlicker track in a while that made me actually want to hear the rest of it.
2. Nora En Pure - Tibet
Her first release of 2026. It’s the track for the long straight road at the end of a trip, when the sun’s getting low and nobody in the car is talking and that’s fine. The groove is steady and the vocal textures are buried so deep in the mix they’re basically weather. Six minutes of your nervous system deciding it can stand down. Back to back with Reborn, that’s the best fifteen minutes of any drive this summer.
