Born out of a lockdown night when their usual Saturday night plans were off limits, Defected regular Darius Syrossian and South Records boss George Smeddles decided to cook something up for the anticipated return to the club. With just a vocal to work with, they decided to produce something with the 90s, uplifting vibe dancefloors would be needing. Demonstrating the same addictive, dancefloor-ready grooves seen on their previous collabs like ‘Get Toast’ and ‘Blood Orange’, this latest joint venture once again delivers the heat. With its deep organ bassline, playful keys and irresistible 4/4 swing, this record oozes club appeal in a way you can only expect from producers rooted firmly in the scene. It sure feels good to be Back In The Dance.

Italian duo Len Vitz and Charlie Iapicone debut on Hot Creations with ‘Playhouse’, backed by a remix from  Cologne favourite Kolter.  

Featuring as two young talents rising from the Italian house scene, Len Vitz and Charlie Iapicone are gearing up  for their biggest release to date following a series of EPs across recent years. Joining forces for the first time to  rework Ann Peebles’ 1972 soul hit ‘I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down’, they debut on Hot Creations with their  collaboration ‘Playhouse’ - backed by a stellar remix from Cologne-based DJ/producer and label boss, Kolter. 

“The EP was born by chance, an experiment which turned out successful. It’s a mixture of sounds and  recordings accompanied by a taste of vintage soul music.” - Len Vitz.  

Harnessing the original production’s resonant vocals and funk-fuelled riffs, ‘Playhouse’ brings a 70’s classic to  modern dancefloors as slick drums and slinking bass grooves reveal a track made for memorable moments. On  the flip, Kolter’s remix brings an additional slice of vigour and energy as he utilises signature chords and skippy  percussion to shape up proceedings. 

Len Vitz & Charlie Iapicone ‘Playhouse’ drops via Hot Creations on 10th March 2023.

Returning to Up The Stuss in style fresh from his collaborative Across Boundaries project with label head honcho Chris Stussy, it’s pretty clear that Utrecht-based DJ, producer and live talent Locklead’s purple patch isn’t going anywhere as he continues to unveil his sharp-edged, heady and cosmic sound to an ever-growing selection of fans. And when artist and label link and complement one another effortlessly, creating a home away from home, comfort and freedom take creativity to a new height.

For the sophomore release on UTSOFF, a series launched by Stussy’s soaring ‘All Night Long’ earlier this year, the enigmatic Dutchman delivers ‘Moon’ - a shimmering slice of house music that’s been the topic of endless ID requests since featuring as a stand-out track in Stussy’s Sonar Week sets. A true showcase of his innate talent as an artist, drawing from all corners of the genre, the track - written and produced solo while featuring his own vocals throughout - welcomes a trip into the mind of one of modern house music’s most exciting new names. In contrast,’ Hazy Gaze’ is a moody journey through tumbling textures, wonky synths and spacey tones, delivering two cuts for varying moods and moments, and another essential addition to the UTS catalogue.

Late last summer, one track dominated the sets of Marco Carola at Music On and beyond. That track was Charles Pierre's 'Moonlight To Sunrise' and we are delighted to deliver to you this masterpiece that's backed with a heavyweight remix from super producer Yousef and Dutch groove maestro Rob Stillekens.

Lead track 'Moonlight To Sunrise' is a unique slice of modern day house music with its grooving, funk laden intro and atmospheric percussion droplets, bouncing around the 70s-esque filtered bassline. Merge this with Charles' own special vocal delivery and what you have here will be one of this year's stand-out tracks.

The first of two sublime remixes comes from Liverpool's legendary DJ/Producer Yousef. Here Yos rips the storybook up and transforms the original into a peak time banger, with elasticated rises that utilise Charles' vocal delivery around a crescendo of uplifts and hedonistic rhythms that, on the drop, explode with typical Yousef brilliance. This one will go beyond the big rooms to festival stages. We are sure of that.

Next up, Dutch producer Rob Stillekens shows why he's on the radar of the big labels by delivering a punchy, groove-based remix that perfectly fits itself around the vocal with its driving bass lead and cleverly placed drops and rises. A superb addition to the package from Rob.

Closing out the EP, Charles drops 'Feel This Way', a proper party starter of a track with its Disco edges and filtered loops, combining in harmony with the feel good vibe and almost spoken word vocal. A perfect closer for what will be one of the standout EP's at this year's MMW and beyond.

Franky Rizardo takes the reigns on an outstanding Remix of Charles Pierre's 'Moonlight To Sunrise'. Late last summer, we sent out the Original to a selected handful of DJ's. Franky was one of those who received it, and it quickly became his go-to track for those big moments. 

We were absolutely delighted when he reached out and asked for the parts to put his twist on the incredible Original. 

Now, after it being one of the most sought after remixes on the scene, we deliver it to you in time for those summer sessions.

Franky sprinkles his own unique soundscapes to the mix, taking it a more house feel but retaining the essence of the original with the vocals playing a big part. It's good that Marco has been closing his sets with it!

Deus Deserto & RooneyNasr present Chromed Out — a stripped-back yet hypnotic peak-time techno tune. This track is all about precision and atmosphere, weaving deep, pulsating basslines with crisp, surgical percussion. Like a sandstorm moving through the night, its minimalistic groove and eerie synth stabs create an immersive, late-night club experience.
