Man Go Funk Ft Kali Mija - Don't You (Ottis Blake Remix, Preview)

This past winter, HRD together with Do U Remember House (DURH) kicked off a Sunday afternoon dance jam called LUV DANCIN. These afternoon sessions turned out to be some of the most inspiring, uplifting dance parties we’ve ever had. Much love & gratitude for everyone who joined!

We just uploaded full 4 hours from April’s LUV DANCIN, with DURH collective at the controls. Over the past year or two, the crew has become some of HKI’s most prominent proponents of house & dance culture. Their sets always seem to feature a fresh mix of classics and contemporary tunes from across the globe.

HSM PREMIERE | Aquadeep, Veesoul - Do It Alright [Deep House Cats SA]

'Closing The Chapter' is the second single announcing drummer and composer Peter Gall’s upcoming album 'Love Avatar', to be released by Compost Records on 27th of September ’24. The nostalgic 'Closing The Chapter' is actually the prototype of a love song and, according to Gall, perhaps the most emotional and personal piece on the album, which he put down on paper at the very last minute. "When I listened to it again alone in the studio late at night, the guys' solos brought tears to my eyes," he says, so moved by his colleagues' interpretations. From Matthias Pichler's lyrical bass solo to Rainer Böhm's masterfully sparkling grand piano, the journey reaches its climax in Wanja Slavin's synth eruption, before the perfect soundtrack for a wanderlust road trip with captivating guitar comping and mantric beat suddenly transforms into an absolute trance state - beautifully colored by Wanja Slavin's live synth jam.

Peter Gall - Closing The Chapter

APPAREL PREMIERE: Peter Gall - Closing The Chapter [Compost]

Frankie Ferrara returns to David Morales’ DIRIDIM imprint with Roy Zone, a bright, breezy house cut built for sunlit moments. 
Anchored by a wandering bassline and lifted by a chime-driven lead, the track strikes a balance between warmth and playfulness, offering character without excess. Sun-drenched music for sunny people.
Based in Capua, Italy, Frankie “The Ram” Ferrara first fell in love with house in the mid-90s, spending nights locked into the radio before witnessing Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Tony Humphries, and Louie Vega behind the decks. Those formative experiences shaped a lifelong connection with the music, leading him deep into underground clubs across Italy and beyond, where he absorbed the artistry of both Italian and international DJs. 
By 2019 he had stepped into production, adding a new dimension to his career as a DJ and quickly finding homes on respected labels including Nervous Records, King Street Sounds, and DIRIDIM.
Ferrara describes himself as a “360° music lover,” with a vision of house that stretches across moods and styles. With Roy Zone, he channels that ethos into something direct and joyful, a track that reflects the roots of his journey while looking firmly ahead.

London-centric beatmakers Silk 86 and Blamma! Blamma! go back to back on a project via Emotive Records - launching off the label's first edition.

Composed of Finn Casey and Thomas L, Silk 86 kick off this new joint venture with a limited edition vinyl press. Having cut their teeth over the last decade DJing, promoting and being intoxicated in the metamorphic underground scene of East London, these Londoners remain resolute in disregarding genres in favour of incorporating their eclectic musical backgrounds. Blamma! Blamma! have a history of making deep, disco-fied tracks and remixes with releases on labels including Eskimo, Deleted, Kitsune and The Walls Have Ears. In a neat twist, Finn Casey also comprises one half of Blamma! Blamma! – the other member being London to Brooklyn exile Nick DC (both pictured here), who helps run Emotive Records along with Finn and Tom L.

'Never Think' sets the tone for which the title stands - a steamy, muted club disco cut with subterranean basslines, filtered vocal samples, and a layer of classy percussion which rides over the top - free in style. The record's classic house aesthetics have already received praise from key figures such as the one and only Laurent Garnier, Studio Barnhus's Axel Boman, French electronica chess-master Agoria, and Brooklyn house-scene don Jacques Renault.

Make sure you definitely check deep Xcape they are dope!!!

Deep Xcape - What Is Jazz

When I first heard Essential I's remix I was in love with this track. Probably my favourite house track of last year. My remix is more like a cover version of it. A conversation about jazz. 

As GOGO music put it "QB Smith who lately started his own label with the critical acclaimed “Selfish Skies” release, takes the original harmony progression and takes it further. Crowned with a new recorded vocal and great piano work out, his mix is a highly appreciated artistic addition to the release"
