Minimal  and  Tech House 2025

Over the past decade, Berlin-based producer and DJ , Ben Rau, has risen up the ranks to become one of the undergrounds most prized artists, steadily unveiling hard hitting dance floor cuts for the likes of beloved imprints such as Kaoz Theory, Eastenderz, Fuse and of course his very own Inkal and Meta labels. Here though, he joins forces with the powerhouse Amsterdam part and record label PIV, to launch its new sub-label, entitled PIV Club and as the name would suggest delivering club ready hits carefully crafted for those magic moments.


‘Energy’ follows, an apt title for the near six minute excursion which fuses ethereal textures, twinkling synth melodies and a vocoder vocal uttering the track’s title, while squelchy acid bass and tension building strings further fuel the dynamic groove alongside a robust drum workout.

Locklead returns to Up The Stuss with his latest solo outing, ‘Unison’.

Whether flying solo or linking with partner in crime Chris Stussy as one-half of Across Boundaries, in-demand DJ/producer and live act Locklead continues to shape his take on contemporary house music. Having crafted a reputation as a go-to name for many with his sophisticated yet club-ready sound, his releases on Up The Stuss have showcased his refined ear and dancefloor instincts to their fullest. Now, the Utrecht-based artist is back as he adds to his debut album ‘Square One’ and the hazy ‘Moon’ with a new solo EP on the label, delivering a four-track selection that encapsulates his signature style — deep, hypnotic, and brimming with energy.

‘Unison’ sees Locklead flex his production prowess across a quartet of distinct yet interconnected cuts, each showcasing a different facet of his ever-evolving sound. A long-awaited anthem that has been the subject of ID requests for months, the title track brings a vibrant and immersive groove, balancing intricate textures with rolling energy, while ‘Apollo’ is a high-octane affair laced with raw drums and punchy stabs, primed for peak-time impact. ‘Mystic Nights’ ventures into dreamier realms, guided by rich pads and fluid basslines that create a hypnotic flow, before rounding things out with ‘STFUATYXP’, a dose of cosmic funk with shimmering synths and crisp percussion, perfect for moving those late-night and early hour dancefloors.

A remixed take on the track, by =luv. This remix offers a sonic recontextualization, perhaps exploring a more melodic side or a more club-oriented approach to Tech Minimal, while keeping the lyrical essence intact and transforming the beat.
