Lowgroov makes his debut on Almost Like We Met with a two-track EP that hits with intent. Teaming up with Tech Bass on one of the cuts, this release shows off both groove and grit. Leading the charge is 'Kick', a stripped-back roller built around a pitching sub, off-kilter vocals, and percussive textures that snap and shuffle. On the flip, 'Less Is More' leans into a playful vocal hook, warped 808s, gritty reese bass, and a chaotic mix of synth lines bold and unfiltered. Both tracks land with weight, built for the floor.

Sider - Vibe [Almost Like We Met]

Brazilian artist Noise Clap is back with his first solo release on Almost Like We Met. Starting off with 'Destress Mind,' a track with a spooky vibe containing vibrato synth leads, quirky vocals, and strong percussion driven by an offbeat bassline. The vocals encourage you to let loose and dance like nobody's watching which should be a nice life motto of happiness. It seems the forest theme continues in our label's discography, as we take you back into the woods with the second a-side, 'Dance In The Forest.' We love a great tune with a sick bongo line, and this song does it. It feels like a fast-paced journey through the jungle, with tunnel vision at hyper speed. The atmosphere, filled with various animal sounds, really immerses you. This track just slaps. Noise Clap began his journey in December 2018 with a unique tech house sound, featuring psychedelic drums, 808 basses, and striking synths. He quickly made a name for himself with releases on Dirtybird, House of Hustle, and many more. Constantly innovating, Noise Clap continues to bring energetic and vibrant tracks to the tech house scene.

It's a wild ride through a sound he's been fine-tuning into something uniquely his own.
