#96 Feat. Banner in Minimal / Deep Tech

Brooklyn-based tastemaker Jeff Sorkowitz and his label Short Circuit drop Summer Cutz Vol. 3, a dancefloor-focused VA packed with character, rhythm, and that unmistakable Short Circuit style. Featuring five cuts from rising and established artists alike, this collection is tailor-made for clubs, after hours and festivals alike. Opening the release, Jeff Sorkowitz sets the tone with Cruisin, a laid-back roller filled with warm percussion, low-slung bass, and vocal chops that add flavour without taking over. Its a groove built for creating special moments, be it in the day or the night keeping the floors flowing where the keeping that vibe high is essential. Pheelo keeps the momentum high with Banzai, delivering chunky drums, quirky vocal snips, and a swaggering bassline that punches through with confidence. Its playful, dynamic, and perfect for those sweaty, high-energy moments when the dancefloor wants fun with a touch of finesse. Méssous dives into the deep with Electricity, a dark, pulsing groove that blends crisp percussion, brooding bass, and flickering textures. Equal parts atmospheric and functional, its a track designed for locked-in heads-down moments on the underground floor. CHMPLOO brings the heat with Dirty Waizt, a raw, rolling jam built on gritty low-end, sharp percussion, and cheeky vocal samples. Its peak-time-ready with just the right amount of attitude. Rounding things out is Brendan James with Youre All Over My, a smooth, emotionally rich track built around a classy vocal hook, lush atmospheres, and a tight percussive groove. Its stripped back house with heart, perfect for dancefloors craving a bit of soul. Summer Cutz Vol. 3 captures the diverse spirit of modern house music, from sunlit grooves to shadowy rollers, and reflects Short Circuits ongoing mission to spotlight artists who bring character, groove, and originality to the global dancefloor.
