Rafael Cerato, Laherte 'Thunderbolt' on Simulate Recordings

Adam Beyer placed Rafael Cerato and Laherte's 'Thunderbolt' in the Extended Mix 17th of 22 on his Explorer vol.1 chart on 10 Jul. 'Thunderbolt', filed as Melodic House and Techno, arrived on Simulate Recordings on 27 Jun 2025, under a warm and mild Ibiza night lit by a late sunset and a rising full moon.

Drums lead over harmony throughout 'Thunderbolt', holding a regular percussive figure from start to finish. The mix sits at a soft level with headroom to spare, and a bright treble keeps the whole thing lifted rather than heavy. It plays as a spacious, drum-forward record built for a long night rather than a short peak.

Simulate Recordings was last covered on 25 April, with Massano's 'Welcome To The Underworld', and 'Thunderbolt' lands as Ibiza and Mykonos move through their high season. Beside it on Adam Beyer's own chart sits his own 'Taking Back Control' on Drumcode, at 14th, a record covered on 28 May.
