Microm Dee - That Damn House (Carlo Remix)

On this episode of the Gabu Mix Series, we welcome Spanish DJ and producer @go-2. Born in Valencia and shaped by the raw energy of ‘90s American house, she blends it seamlessly with modern minimal techno and breakbeat. Known for her hypnotic rhythms, acid-tinged lines, and unstoppable groove, Ladrillovitz has lit up dancefloors at legendary spots like Spook, Off Sonar, and Días de Campo. A driving force behind the decks, this one’s full throttle.

For its tenth release, Gabu Records presents Collect 01, a finely tuned compilation bringing together a diverse lineup of talent from its expanding global orbit. True to the label’s vision - championing deep sounds from the Middle East and beyond - this Various Artists release distills Gabu’s essence into six standout tracks. Baloo & Carlo open with Vera, a breezy, sunlit groove full of warmth and understated funk, setting the tone for what follows. Nail steps in with On The Corner, a moody, heads-down deep house roller with rich textures and hypnotic flair. Emanuele Barilli brings the bounce with Deep & Fun, playful yet grounded in groove, a perfect balance of dancefloor energy and musicality. On the back half, Horsemen’s Back Then rides in with nostalgic chords and crisp drums—an ode to classic house with a modern twist. BNinjas offers New Wave, a standout cut blending groove and snappy percussion into an irresistible rhythm. Closing the collection, Hermit delivers Dance Therapy, a dub-tinged, percussive journey made for sweaty late-night sets. From Jeddah to Berlin and beyond, Collect is a celebration of Gabu’s sonic identity: deep, soulful, and forward-thinking.

PREMIERE: BNinjas - New Wave

Helsinki-based producer Saine makes his Delusions debut following amazing output on such revered labels as Voyage Recordings, Odd Socks, Omena and Fina. A producer who can flit from hazy instrumental hip hop through to raw, dusty house at the flick of a switch, Saine has built a solid following amongst lovers of left field leanings we’ve come to expect from the likes of Max Graef, Glenn Astro, Henry Wu and Leon Vynhall. 
On lead track Act Natural we find Saine in perhaps his heaviest mood to date, delivering a crunchy uptempo house jam which retains his unique sound despite being aimed firmly at the dancefloor. A speaker wobbling eighth note bassline locks down the groove whilst familiar, much-loved fragments from the rave days punctuate the crackling beats. Add to this some simple syncopated chords and you have a winning formula for a timeless track which looks to the future whilst respectfully doffing it’s cap to the past.
Jus Right continues in a deeper, more musical fashion with Saine getting busy on his synths, building up layers of warm pads and soloing Moog lines. A prominent vocal brings a soulful touch whilst the minimal, almost hihat-less groove adds an original and fresh feel to this blissful track. Flipping over we have Low Key, a shuffling deep house number loaded with sliced Rhodes samples, echoing vocal hits, clipped percussion and sublime bass. As the atmosphere thickens, everything falls away to silence before rebuilding, creating some nice tension in the arrangement. 
Finally we have Pontchartrain offering up an excellent remix of Jus Right. The Detroit native responsible for some mighty fine releases for the likes of Rocksteady Disco, Lovedancing, Soul Clap, Kolour LTD and Whiskey Disco takes things in a more straight-up house direction with heavier beats, 909 hats pushed to the fore and a distinctively old school feel to the mix.

Black Loops needs no introduction nowadays, you see his name on something, you click it/download it or buy. He's built up such a strong following and reputation for quality house music it was only a matter of time that Freerange snapped up an EP from the Italian wonder. We've got 'King Paul' to show today, off an EP full of killer tracks. With his trademark swinging 909 grooves, bubbling arps and perfectly placed synths. The track also features smooth Rhodes stabs & keys licks courtesy of Nikos Haropoulos.
