Jacob Maess, Pierce, OLING mixes surface

Three new mixes landed within the same weekend, and they line up like a neat cross-section of where club music is sitting right now. Jacob Maess posted a promo mix dated May 3. Pierce’s Vault Sessions 298 went up on May 1. OLING’s Bloop London Radio studio showcase also aired on May 1. Put them together and you get a compact read on two scenes that overlap but don’t quite do the same job — melodic-progressive storytelling versus stripped, warehouse-facing techno. (1001tracklists.com) ### What actually surfaced? These are not rumors or teaser clips. They are full, listenable sets with published tracklists. Jacob Maess’s “Promo Mix” is listed with 12 tracks and tagged Progressive House / Melodic House & Techno. Pierce’s “Vault Sessions 298” runs 1:03:05 and carries 15 tracks under Tech House / Techno. OLING’s Bloop London Radio set is listed with 11 tracks and tagged Progressive House / Melodic House & Techno. (1001tracklists.com) ### Why group these three together? Because they surfaced within roughly 48 hours of each other, but they solve different DJ problems. Maess and OLING are building atmosphere, pacing, and melodic lift. Pierce is doing tension, pressure, and darker propulsion. That makes the trio useful as a snapshot — not of one unified trend, but of neighboring lanes that selectors are clearly still feeding from in early May 2026.

The published tracklist includes Eve Allie’s “Every Moment” on Anjunabeats, M.O.S.’s “Running Man” on FSOE UV, Maess’s own “Beyond The Skies” on Interplay Flow, Soleco/Khealo/colormeblue’s “Out Of It” on Sekora, and Township Rebellion’s “Birds F(1001tracklists.com)blunt-force impact. (1001tracklists.com) ### Why does Pierce feel different? Vault Sessions is a techno platform, and Pierce leans into that frame hard. The tracklist opens with Johannes Heil’s “Scene One,” moves through cuts from Art.ic, Ana Rs, Mathys Lenne, Connor Wall, and Kr!z, then lands later on Cleric & Dax J’s “Sirius” remix, Regent’s “Rarely Enough,” dc11’s “One Verse No Choru(1001tracklists.com)ed material or cuts not yet publicly confirmed.

The tracklist includes an Adrian Lux remix by OLING, several OLING cuts or IDs tied to the “Roots Radio” series, “Motor 2,” and another “Bloop London 2026 ID,” alongside outside material like Vilja Larjosto’s “Two Dots” in Nic Fanciulli’s remix an(1001tracklists.com)x, part artist pipeline. (1001tracklists.com) ### So what’s the broader read? The interesting part is not just that three mixes appeared. It’s that the track choices are so legible. Maess points toward polished melodic labels and festival-adjacent progressive taste. OLING uses radio to test identity and unreleased material. Pierce stays locked into the tougher, label-driven techno circuit around Vault Sessions. Same weekend, different dancefloors. (1001tracklists.com) ### Why do tracklists matter here? Because in dance music, a tracklist is basically a map of influence, affiliation, and intent. You can see labels, recurring producers, where IDs are being teased, and whether a DJ is curating broadly or pushing their own catalog. These three sets do all of that in miniature. They are less “big news event” than highly usable scene evidence. (1001tracklists.com) ### Bottom line? This weekend’s mixes matter because they make the current split in underground-adjacent club programming easy to hear. One lane is melodic and narrative. The other is harder and more percussive. Maess, OLING, and Pierce each landed squarely in one of those lanes — and the tracklists show exactly how. (1001tracklists.com)
