Moving Your Body

Swiss maestro and Vibes and Grooves label head Shaka AKA aka Kurt Spichiger is a long-time soulful house devotee who has been at it since the mid-90s on labels like Nervous, Kolour LTD and Local Talk. Here he lands on Mister Bear with an EP that oozes classy house soul from the off with 'High On You' featuring original vocals written and performed by Eva Christine Flury. 'Smooth Cut' is just that, with its heartfelt pain chords and noodling synth solos, 'Latin Love Affair' brings the heart with a samba-inspired percussive shuffle and big horns to close an essential EP for summer fun.

SHAKA - SMOOTH CUT [MISTER BEAR]

D Stone debuts on Heist Recordings with a record that shows us why he’s one of the hottest talents in house music right now 

Chloe Caillet is in on it. Cinthie is in on it. SG lewis and Demi Riquísimo are in on it too. So are Folamour, Barry Can’t Swim and, of course, Dam Swindle. In on what exactly?

In on the fact that D Stone might be the most exciting young producer and DJ you will find in the house scene right now. Oh, and he’s also a great guy who says Heist was his dream label to release on. When we found out we were fans of on each other, it was only logical that we signed his ‘Time Selection’ EP; A 5-track record that shows us how cool and catchy underground house music can be if it’s done well. 

D Stone, born Daan Steenhuizen has had a meteoric rise in the scene in the past years and has only just finished his study at the Conservatory, where Lars was one of his mentors. His vinyl debut was on Cecille in 2023 with that absolute anthem ‘Total unison’. He then released on Cinthie’s 803 Crystal Grooves in 2024 and has a busy 2025 with releases on Chloe Caillet’s label Smiile, Semi Delicious, a release planned for Barry Can’t Swim’s fresh label ‘Earth’s only paradise’ and now, Heist. He’s been touring relentlessly in between, already playing legendary places like Ibiza’s Pikes, Amsterdam’s Shelter and with big shows planned at Warehouse project and in Australia, you can just feel all the right things happening for him.

The ’Time Selection’ EP kicks off with ‘Yes I Am’, an upbeat house track with plenty of hints of the old school, playful vocal chops and above all, some lovely piano work. It’s stripped back, but full of energy, with driving 909 percussion, retro flutes and a rolling bass line. It’s as much a pallet cleanser in a set as it is a teasing mid-set highlight.

‘Move Over’ features the vocals of ELY and sees D Stone dive deeper into vintage house territory, with a classic bassline and percussion that stays true to the core of the classic drum machines, hinting as much towards the electro-pop sound of New Order and the futurism of early Mr. Fingers releases. The vocal is daring and cute at the same time, and does a great job tapping into the nostalgia of the pop-house cross-over songs of the early 90s. 

'Time Selection' is arguably the heaviest cut of the record, much in style of his breakthrough track ‘Total Unison’. This track is built around a strong piano theme, supported by driving 909 drums, strings and cleverly placed disco bleeps to keep the track accessible and uplifting. Add to that a big breakdown, and you’ll understand why we’ve been reaching for this track peak set for the past months.

On the flip, we’ve got ‘One Thing’, a subtle and introverted track built around a bumpy disco bassline with a hook that’s silly on first listen but will end up being the one thing you’ll keep humming for the rest of the day. In short, it’s a banger in disguise. 

The last track of the EP is ‘Everything from the Organ’, a track where D Stone is not afraid to show his love for throwback ravey elements. There’s organ licks, horns and chopped vocals that propel you straight to the front-left of whichever dancefloor D Stone is reigning at that moment.  

Don’t sleep on the Heist debut of one of Amsterdam’s biggest talents, cause this one will go like hot cakes! As always, enjoy the music and play it loud! 

Yours, 
Maarten & Lars
