Four days left before it officially becomes someone else's problem
Read more . . . →Four days until the window closes on spring and everyone pretends they were a house music person all along. Before festival season swallows the conversation whole, here are the tracks that landed right as the weather stopped being a personal attack. No preamble, no Coldplay. 1. Jungle - Carry On Jungle announced a whole album called Sunshine (out in August, mark it) and dropped “Carry On” as the first taste. It sounds exactly like the weather turning — warm, unhurried, like the city collectively exhaling after five months of grey. No notes. 2. SOFI TUKKER - BOBA SOFI TUKKER have...

Movement Detroit is 19 days out — here's your pre-game
Read more . . . →Memorial Day weekend, Hart Plaza, Detroit. While the rest of North America fires up a grill and watches cars go in circles, the real pilgrimage is to the birthplace of techno. Movement 2026 is 19 days away and the lineup actually means something — Carl Cox headlining, Blawan on the bill, Sara Landry bringing the hard stuff, Terrence Dixon and Juan Atkins playing their own city’s festival. Five tracks to get your head right before you go. 1. Loco Dice & Carl Cox - Road Runner Cox headlines Hart Plaza this May and this is exactly why nobody else on...

Basement Jaxx - Jump N' Shout (Gorgon City Remix)
Read more . . . →Gorgon City remixing Basement Jaxx is the crossover nobody was expecting but everyone should want. “Jump N’ Shout” was already a banger in its original form — one of those late 90s/early 2000s tracks that still holds up in ways most music from that era simply doesn’t. Gorgon City strip it back to the essentials and rebuild it around a tech house groove that feels completely current without being disrespectful to what the original was. The vocal gets deployed cleverly — you recognize it immediately but it’s working in a different context now and that contrast is most of the...

Taiki Nulight & Scott Garcia feat. MC DT - It's A London Thing
Read more . . . →Scott Garcia made “It’s A London Thing” in 1997 and it became one of the defining tracks of the UK garage era. Taiki Nulight doing a 2025 take on it was always going to be a moment. The original had that specific bouncy shuffle that’s impossible to replicate without it sounding like parody, and somehow this version navigates that without embarrassing itself. MC DT is on here which makes sense — you need that MC energy for a track with this much history attached to it. Whether this is technically trance or garage or something in between depends on who...

Shoby - back to friends
Read more . . . →Sensual Musique is a channel that does exactly what its name suggests — the music is warm, late night, and built for situations where you want something that doesn’t demand your full attention but rewards it if you give it. Shoby’s back to friends is exactly that. The vocal is chopped and processed enough to feel atmospheric rather than song-like, which is exactly the right call here. The bassline groove is patient. This is deep house that isn’t in any rush to prove it’s deep house, which is usually a good sign. Deep house has been underrepresented on this blog...

18 days out: the EDC 30th anniversary tracks worth loading before Vegas
Read more . . . →18 days until 150,000 people descend on the Nevada desert, and EDC’s 30th anniversary lineup is actually trying. Kaskade’s back on a proper label, FISHER’s got a collab that shouldn’t work but does, and Subtronics and Excision are apparently competing to see who can make the ugliest sound. Here’s what’s on the pre-game playlist. 1. Kaskade ft. EZI - Freedom Deep house for the drive out. Kaskade went back to OM Records — the label that basically built this sound — and “Freedom” lands right in that late-night, open-road pocket. EZI’s voice is the whole thing. 2. FISHER & Tones...

Saco, Bram Bos - Never Going Home
Read more . . . →Bram Bos is primarily known for iOS music apps — Rozeta, Grooverider, Kosmonaut — and watching that guy make a straight deep house track is genuinely interesting. Never Going Home with Saco has the DNA of someone who thinks about sound design at a more granular level than most producers, and it shows in the texture work. The track has a slight lo-fi quality that feels deliberate rather than lazy. There’s warmth here without any of the manufactured “we’re being warm” feeling that a lot of deep house suffers from. The groove is minimal — just enough to keep things...

MCN2, rivve - Brighter Days
Read more . . . →MCN2 and rivve do something smart here: the title promises “brighter days” and the production actually delivers it, which sounds obvious but is harder than it seems when you’re working with deep house instrumentation that naturally trends moodier. The chords are warm without being saccharine. There’s a real sense of forward motion to this — it doesn’t sit in one place and brood, it moves. Sensual Musique has been consistent in finding this specific register of deep house and putting it in front of people who need it. The lead vocal is minimal enough that it doesn’t overpower the groove,...

Josh One vs Salomé Le Chat - Contemplation (King Britt Funke Remix)
Read more . . . →The title alone should get you in the mood. King Britt doing a funke remix of something called Contemplation — that’s a very specific vibe and it delivers exactly what it promises. Josh One vs Salomé Le Chat is already an interesting pairing on its own, but King Britt’s remix takes the original somewhere deeper. This is Defected doing what Defected does best — finding house tracks with genuine soul and giving them to the right people to make them something else entirely. The groove in this is the kind you don’t notice until you’re already moving. There’s an organ...
