ZUEZEU - WLTP [BATTY RECORDS]
ZUEZEU’s "WLTP" gets to work quickly. Released through BATTY RECORDS, the single is built around a repeated vocal hook and a bass-heavy groove that gives the track its bounce. There is little excess in the arrangement: each sound has room to register, and the rhythm stays in charge. That economy is the track’s best feature. The vocal phrase returns often enough to stick, while the movement underneath it keeps the repetition from feeling flat. ZUEZEU seems to understand exactl
Smidjal - Pop The Bottle
Smidjal’s "Pop The Bottle" opens with a hint of swing, then pushes it aside as sharp synths and a driving beat take over. The switch gives the track its first jolt of personality. From there, the duo keep the pressure up, building a song that seems to have the crowded part of a club in mind. The hook is simple enough to catch on the first listen, but the vocal has a rough little twist: a falsetto note that reportedly happened by accident during recording and stayed in the fin
Meas & Riddie - Keep T Moving

It sounds like an instruction passed across a dancefloor: stay with the rhythm, keep your feet going and let the night carry on. Its casual wording makes the invitation feel immediate. There is an easy confidence in that choice. Meas and Riddie give the track a clear purpose without dressing it up in a dramatic story. The title leaves room for the listener to bring their own mood to it

Sideluv, Meanetik - Thoughts Of Summer
Meanetik and Sideluv capture the moment when summer is still here, but you can already feel it slipping away. "Thoughts Of Summer" moves at an easy house pace, with soft plucked notes and wide synth pads that leave plenty of space around the beat. Fragments of French vocals drift in and out, giving the track the feel of a half-remembered conversation. Meanetik’s warmth and Sideluv’s understated touch sit comfortably together; neither producer forces the song toward a big rele
Matt de Bathe - Aquae Sulis

Jake Prevo - Hypnotized
Jake Prevo’s "Hypnotized" arrived on September 16, 2026, following his singles "Nocturnal Language" and "Something About You". Listed as an Afro house release, it gives him a clear setting for the idea in its title: music built around repetition and the pull of a steady dance rhythm. The appeal of a track like this lies in how long it can hold your attention without demanding it. "Hypnotized" suggests a late set, when the room has settled into the beat and small changes can
Handysize - 14 knots
Handysize’s debut single "14 Knots" has a subject you rarely encounter in electronic music: the women working aboard cargo ships. Behind the name is Antoine Grisay, co-founder of the maritime platform Shipfix. The track and its accompanying video are dedicated to women at sea, with the film looking beyond the officer’s uniform to the person wearing it. The title is well chosen. Fourteen knots suggests a vessel moving at a steady pace, and gives the release a sense of purpose
GlowDriver - Tell Me
GlowDriver’s "Tell Me" begins with a familiar frustration: you can sense someone’s affection, but you still need to hear them say it. The single follows "Good Love" and continues the artist’s interest in how people express love. Here, the focus is on words of affirmation and the uneasy wait for an honest answer. A steady dance beat and driving bass give the song its momentum, while the synths cast a darker shade over the melody. The female vocal stays delicate against that we
