Solid Grooves Raw welcome rising Brazilian Beltran for his label debut with 'Smack Yo'.

As the end of the summer season draws near, it's safe to say Solid Grooves aren't slowing down as the UK favourites continue to reveal the ID's for a long list of heavily requested unreleased material tested by co-founders Michael Bibi and PAWSA across their Grooves Motel Ibiza season at DC10 and beyond. Tapping into South America's hotbed of emerging talent, the label's sister imprint Solid Grooves Raw heads to Brazil for another label debut as they welcome Beltran for 'Smack Yo'.

A firm favourite of Michael Bibi's and a stand-out track from his sets across 2022, 'Smack Yo' is a murky and twisting peak-time cut armed with punchy drums, warped vocal samples and weighty low-ends - with Solid Grooves Raw offering a perfect home for the Brazilian's first label outing.

Max Dean heads to Solid Grooves Raw for an impactful label debut to drop his latest single, 'Impressed'. The man behind one of the tracks of 2022 with the infectious 'Future Looks Bright' featuring house legend Mr. V, hotly-tipped up-and comer Max Dean is doing things his way and making some serious noise while doing so.

Delivering his first single on the label in five years, following a series of outings on the label's annual VA series, the Solid Grooves favourite makes his long-awaited return on 22nd March 2024, building on releases via Crosstown Rebels and his own CRZ and MÜSE imprints.

When it comes to the global house and techno landscape, very few individuals had a busier 2023 than Spanish DJ/producer and label boss Dennis Cruz. Following on from an action-packed twelve months, with highlights ranging from his Coachella debut through to regular appearances at the likes of Club Space (Miami), Hï (Ibiza) and fabric (London), coupled with a vital role at the helm of Solid Grooves' lauded DC10 Casino Motel residency alongside label co-founder PAWSA, the label favourite is back on Solid Grooves Records with his first standalone single on the label since 2019 - showcasing his trademark, groove-driven sound in full with his latest offering, 'Bonito'.

Drenched in Latin and Salsa flavours and sonics, with vibrant brass melodies ebbing and flowing amongst playful and hooky vocal interludes, all layered above signature crisp and rolling drums, 'Bonito' is a perfect example of Cruz's impeccable house sound and welcomes the arrival of a heavily-requested ID from his sets on a fitting return to his 'home away from home', Solid Grooves.

A mainstay of the UK house landscape and a name whose diverse yet signature house sound has become almost instantly recognisable around the globe, ORIGINS RCRDS boss Josh Butler is proving time and time again just why his music has forever been in the record bags of the scene's biggest names. Returning to sister imprint Solid Grooves Raw two years after his last appearance on the label, and following on from his earlier standout hits 'Keep It Hot' and 'Right Time' on Solid Grooves Records, the UK DJ/producer makes his return in style as he draws for a wealth of trademark sonics while looking to the future on his latest single, 'Seeder' .

Tough and gritty, yet still bringing those colourful, hypnotic basslines and tight, punchy drums found so often within his work, 'Seeder' is a heavy-hitting cut with an infection earworm groove set to dominate dancefloors across the summer and
beyond.
