#40 Feat. New Releases in Indie Dance

Solardo are one of the UKs strongest club acts. The self-styled musical chameleons have created massive hits (Move Your Body, XTC) and smashed it on the big stages (Glastobury, Tomorrowland, EDC). Having concquered House and Tech House over the past 5 years, they hit 2025 with a twist. Outta Space samples the same Max Romeo classic (Chase The Devil, cleared before Romeos passing) that the Prodigy did. However, while the concept has been done before, Solardo bring the vocal up to date with a bang, delivering the kind of synth-propelled, bass-bouncing club track that fits in with Max Styler and Solomuns Indie Dance sound. Released in time for Ibiza openings, this is a huge island anthem in waiting, we can hear this one working venues vast and small over the summer. A scorcher.

#48 Feat. New Releases in Deep House

Its been a minute since weve had Sven Kerkhoff on the label. 2021s big-charting, DJ-friendly classic house of Hear The Music is our last collab. That said, were big fans of his classic house sound; its no wonder that top-drawer labels like Nervous and Henry Street have featured his slow-burning beats. Need You began life as a demo that Sven and fellow Germany-based producer Nuray Alkan sent to Kevin McKay. He loved the ideas in it so much, he got involved. The resulting collaboration has touches of Kerkhoffs influences (DJ Tonka, Ian Pooley), Nurays love of classic house and Kevins loopy 90s cut-ups (its giving us serious Dont Turn Your Back On Me vibes!) So, if disco-fuelled 90s deepness is your thing, this is for you!
