Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/denniscruzroots

Longstanding Spanish talent Dennis Cruz achieves a career milestone this October with the release of his debut album, Roots. The ten-track LP draws inspiration from Cruz’s life experiences, resulting in a body of work that encapsulates the sounds and musical styles that have led him to where he is today.

Dennis spoke on what this moment represents, stating: "I wanted to work on a broader project, the cornerstone of my artist career, and this is what Roots is. The album is a convergence of influences taken from music that I've been listening to all my life, from funk, salsa, and flamenco to house and disco. I am so happy this project could finally come to life. I want to thank the several friends and artists that worked on it with me; Damian Lazarus for believing in it from the beginning and helping it reach the world on Crosstown Rebels." - Dennis Cruz

The journey begins with La Ratonera, a Spanish-themed cut that sets the tone with a warm underlying groove and P. Rivas’ enchanting vocal hooks. Los Tamales soon arrives, released as a July single ahead of the album, before Good Old Days completes proceedings on the A Side. A collaboration with minimal-maestro Ian Ludvig, the result is a stripped-back dancefloor number that feels ripe for the late night hours.

Ecua takes charge on the B Side, upping the tempo with resonant kick-hat combos and plenty of flamenco-inspired swing. What U Doing comes next, as Leo Wood’s harmonic vocal tones perfectly complement Cruz’s hard-edged, groove-led bassline, opening neatly into Bend. The three-minute piece showcases the Spaniard’s love of jazz and salsa throughout.

We’re treated to another piece of teamwork on Go Down, with iconic Jamaican singer Lee Scratch Perry featuring on top of a low-slung, rhythmic backbone, paving the way for Ahora Todo Va (Dub). Josh Butler’s influence can be felt right from the get go, as four-four drum patterns converge on spicy, latin-fuelled lyrical samples.

Te Quiero Cantar acts as the penultimate track, bringing us more funky, house-driven flavours before Back Again brings things to an ebullient close. The final collaborative offering with Iuliano Mambo takes us on a journey through punchy percussion and swinging synth build ups, rounding off an eclectic body of work that looks set to light up dancefloors across the world this year.

Roots showcases the many facets of Dennis Cruz’s production capabilities. The album embodies the life experiences that have defined his career; the moments of progression and elation, from fresh-faced up-and-comer to established musical presence. At the heart of the LP lies an inherent Spanish theme - a nod to the country and culture that Dennis calls home. It’s playful, joyful and built to make people dance, three traits personify this talented producer today.

MÜSE co-founder Dennis Cruz has cemented his reputation as one of global dance music’s most-esteemed talents, in a career that spans decades. Regular industry awards and nominations (including Beatport, RA, Vicious Magazine, and DJ Awards: Best Tech House 2018, Best Deep Tech 2019 and winner of Best Producer in 2017), showcase the skill with which Dennis has become a tastemaker for quality house music, whilst consistent appearances across the worldwide festival circuit have brought his sound to international audiences. BPM, Tomorrowland, ADE, Kappa Futur and WMC are just a few examples, a testament to Dennis’ esteemed presence in the scene.

What U Doing

Dennis Cruz ft. Leo Wood - What You Doing

Last spotted on Pets playing cowboy and firing serious shots with his 'Lone Ranger' release, Brazilian maestro Renato Cohen makes a welcome return to Catz 'n Dogz imprint. And things are getting hot.

'Meltin' is pure, high grade, uncut funk. Bumping and thumping at an up-tempo 127, the whole groove is comprised by just a handful of elements, but the relationship between each ingredient and the space, brings such an interplanetary fatness you feel like you're driving inside the track.

Next up is the unmissable 'Drum Solo'. One of those golden tribal tracks that mixes in so well with absolutely any record you want to play it with and will get the whole crowd locked and fully focused. Would you expect anything less from the man who once famously gave us 'Sixteen Billion Drum Kicks'?

Last but definitely not least in this steamy, ultrafunkula menage-et-trios is 'Space Rockers'. Slinky, sleazy and well oiled, there's a mischievous filtered disco touch to this, but done with grittier 2021 cohones. Rocking? You will be.

Turn up that dial and make 'em sweat!

Andrija Antić better known as Andrew Meller began dabbling in the electronic music world in 2009, mainly through his projects ReWire, Beat And Juice & Depth Perception.
He started DJing under the Andrew Meller alias in 2014. Compared to the rest, this project is a solo one, which allows him to fully emerge in music, producing and playing tracks that have both house, deep house, tech house & techno influences.
A big breakthrough in his career was the year 2018. Beginning of the year his Insomnia edit made it to top #2 of both main & tech house charts on Beatport, entering the race for track of the year. Just a few short months after, Glasgow Underground put out his cover version of the timeless track Born Slippy. Born Slippy Reincarnation Mix held onto the #1 spot on the main Beatport chart for 50 days, making it the most purchased track on the website for 2018. Since its release, Born Slippy Reincarnation Mix spent a whole year on Beatport’s tech house chart.
This track continues to shake the dance floors all over the world, played by giants like Carl Cox, Nicole Moudaber, Paco Osuna & Nakadia.
Second half of 2018, Meller’s release Godfather's Dance came out on Saved Records, just in time for club season. This track made it to #12 on the Beatport tech house chart & was supported by names like Richy Ahmed, Andrea Oliva, Technasia, Darius Syrossian, Mark Knight & others…
The first months of 2019 were marked by Space Invaders remix for Italian Record Label Frequenza & a collab release The Morning After EP with CJ Jeff for Saved Records. End of May, another Italian label Flashmob put out Meller’s music. Singl Bee made it to #35 on the Beatport charts refreshing the festival season. Over the course of summer EP Landing was put out on Danny Serrano’s label – Seranno’s Kitchen, which included Meller originals & a remix by Serrano himself.
Besides great releases, Andrew Meller had a bundle of important gigs in 2019. Closing after Solomun & Boris Brejcha at UNTOLD festival in Romania & playing after Hot Since 82 in front of more than 5000 people in Belgrade, are just two of them. Both of these sets are available for streaming on YouTube.
Just like Godfather’s Dance came out in time for club season the year prior, mid-September 2019 Andrew had another important release. Sola, Solardo’s planetary popular label put out Miss You EP. This release included two Meller originals & a remix by Max Chapman.
October 2019 isn’t less important for this DJ/producer. In addition to gigs at Amsterdam Dance Event with Exit festival & Flashmob Records DJ family, he had 3 important releases out: Nic Fanciulli included his track SWAG in a compilation celebrating 15 years of Saved Records, Toolroom Trax put out his track 2000 souls & Kittball released his collab EP with Raumakustik The Funk – currently taking the Beatport charts by storm.
