J Gabriel, Thomas Melchior and Bruno Pronsato share Onysia vinyl release

My Soul Is… Split Series landed as a direct statement of intent: ONYSIA013, a June 2026 vinyl release built around J Gabriel, Thomas Melchior and Bruno Pronsato. The split format gives the record its edge, folding three distinct minimal and deep-house languages into one collector-minded object instead of treating the lineup as a prestige roll call. Onysia framed the release as part of its continued evolution in minimal deep house, where groove, detail and control carry the weight.

What makes the record stick is the balance of motion and restraint. The music moved with a fluid, psychedelic edge, but it never lost its discipline: the grooves felt playful, yet serious, with precision doing the work that clutter usually tries to fake. That is why the release reads as more than another tasteful collaboration. It is built for the long arc of a set, where extended blends, patient turns and subtle pressure matter, but it also holds up when the room goes quiet and the processing, texture and small shifts come into focus.

The lineup has real history behind it, and that history gives the split its weight. Onysia’s Bandcamp describes the imprint as a New York City house music label run by J Gabriel, and a 2025 profile said the label had already reached 10 releases, putting ONYSIA013 inside a run rather than at the edge of one. J Gabriel and Thomas Melchior had already crossed paths on the 2025 Specimen EP, which included a Bruno Pronsato remix and was recorded at Onysia Studios. Melchior and Pronsato also have a prior collaboration under Melchior & Pronsato, including Puerto Rican Girls on Smallville Records in 2010. In other words, this split did not arrive as a novelty pairing; it tightened an existing network.

That continuity also explains why the release fit so naturally into the vinyl trade. Retail listings marked it as a June 2026 issue, and specialist shops described it in the language collectors and DJs actually use: late-night, refined, detail-focused, durable enough for the booth and nuanced enough for home listening. ONYSIA013 sits comfortably in the minimal continuum where restraint is the point, not the absence of one. It is a record that uses the split format to show how three experienced artists can shade the same room from different sides without breaking the spell.
