Calcou - 24 (Live from Leipzig)
Read more . . . →If you’ve written deep house off as background music for hotel lobbies, Calcou would like a word. “24,” recorded live in Leipzig, is the sound of the genre with a proper pulse and a full room in front of it. You can genuinely hear the space on this recording — the low end has that slightly loose, physical quality that studio versions tend to sand right off, and there’s a faint wash of crowd sitting underneath the whole thing that tells you this actually happened, that people were present and moving while it did. The groove is deep and patient,...

Luvstruck x Leena Punks x Ethan - In My Heart
Read more . . . →Big, dumb, and completely irresistible. “In My Heart” is the kind of hands-in-the-air dance record I have zero defenses against. It runs on a piano riff that could power a small town and a vocal hook clearly engineered in a lab to be stuck in your head by lunchtime. Three names on it, all obviously on the same mission: maximum serotonin, minimum fuss. The drop is pure sunshine, the sort of thing that would sound faintly ridiculous in a dark room and absolutely perfect at a festival at golden hour. There’s a breakdown where the piano goes solo for a...

BEANIE, Lauren Nicole, Gray Hoek - Groovy Chick
Read more . . . →Heard this blasting out of a passing car before I ever saw the title, which is the correct way to first encounter a track called “Groovy Chick.” It’s an NCS release, that copyright-free pipeline that soundtracks half the internet without ever getting a credit, and every so often something on there is genuinely great rather than merely useful. This is one. The groove is exactly what the name promises: a bouncy, slap-happy bassline and a vocal from Lauren Nicole that struts more than it sings. BEANIE and Gray Hoek keep the production clean and punchy, all air and snap, nothing...

House Party: Three Grooves for the Bad-Decision Hour
Read more . . . →We started the week sensible and it didn’t stay that way. Closing it out with three house records for the hour when the group chat says one more and everybody knows it’s a lie. 1. Dom Dolla, Daya - Dreamin Dom Dolla again, because the man is having an entire summer to himself. Daya’s vocal is all longing, the groove underneath is all confidence, and the two of them together sound like texting someone you absolutely should not be texting at 1am. The bass has that Dom Dolla bounce that makes standing still physically impossible. 2. Chris Lake x Abel...

Oden & Fatzo x Noa Milee - You Don't Want To Think About It
Read more . . . →Peak-time house that wants one thing from you and just takes it. Oden & Fatzo have quietly been one of the most reliable names in club house for a minute now, and this collab with Noa Milee is them at their most direct. It’s a proper weapon: a chunky, insistent bassline, a vocal hook that repeats the title until it burrows a hole in your skull, and drums that flatly refuse to quit. The whole thing runs on tension and release, and the release at 2:30 is a real fist-in-the-air moment when the filter finally opens and the bass comes...

Golden Hour: Three Tracks for the Best Sixty Minutes of Summer
Read more . . . →The best hour of summer is the one right before the sun clocks out. Nobody’s peaking yet, everybody’s grinning, the drink is still cold. Here’s what that hour sounds like when you get it right. 1. Barry Can’t Swim - Dance Dance Dance! Barry Can’t Swim makes music for exactly this window, that gold-light stretch where the day hasn’t decided to become a night yet. The piano loop is stupidly joyful and the whole thing swings instead of thumps, which is a harder trick than it sounds. Twenty seconds in and your shoulders are already gone. 2. Jamie xx -...

Summer Anthem Season: Five Tracks for Open-Air Stages and Bad Decisions
Read more . . . →It’s the last week of July, the sun doesn’t quit until nine, and every festival lineup you screenshotted back in March is happening somewhere without you. Fine. Here are five tracks built for open-air stages and the bad decisions that follow them, whether you make those decisions in a field or in your kitchen at midnight with the neighbours awake. 1. John Summit - Focus (feat. CLOVES) John Summit spent 2025 quietly turning into a stadium act, and this is the track that did it. CLOVES sounds genuinely wrecked on the hook, and when the low end lands around the...

Feiertag, Jody Wisternoff & James Grant - Nomad
Read more . . . →Anjunadeep in full sunset mode, and I’m not remotely mad about it. “Nomad” pairs Feiertag’s live-band warmth with the Wisternoff and Grant production polish, and the result is deep house that actually breathes — real-sounding drums, a bassline with genuine give in it, none of that rigid grid stiffness that plagues the genre. It unfolds slowly, the way the best Anjunadeep tracks always do, layering in elements until around 3:30 when the groove hits full stride and you realize you’ve been nodding along without even noticing you started. Jody Wisternoff has been doing this for literally decades and his fingerprints...

Reece Rosé - The People
Read more . . . →NCS built an empire on tracks Twitch streamers can use without getting muted, and the knock on the label is that the music can feel a bit anonymous. The People is Reece Rosé quietly arguing against that. It’s a piano-house tune with an actual soul to it: the chords have that gospel-adjacent lift house has been borrowing from Chicago for forty years, and Rosé plays them like he means it. The vocal is a chopped, looped “the people” hook that should get annoying and instead becomes the thing you’re waiting for each time it circles back. The drop at 1:20...
