WAKE & Luma - In The Dark
Read more . . . →Dim Mak still operating in 2026 is its own small miracle, and “In The Dark” from WAKE and Luma is a reminder the label can still find producers with teeth. This sits in that bass-house pocket where the groove is sleek but the drop has bite, a moody little number that earns its title. The vocal is processed into a ghost, more texture than message, floating over a bassline that prowls. I like that it doesn’t oversell. There’s a temptation in this genre to pile on the screeching mid-range until everything sounds like a malfunctioning robot, and WAKE and Luma...

SONNIY - RED LINE
Read more . . . →SONNIY landing on STMPD RCRDS with “RED LINE” is a strong look, because Martin Garrix’s label doesn’t hand out releases to just anyone. This is a punchy, bass-driven house track that keeps things lean and dancefloor-focused from the jump. The groove is tight and relentless, built around a hooky vocal chop that worms its way into your head almost immediately. There’s a modern, slightly aggressive edge to the production that separates it from politer house fare, the bassline practically growling underneath.
