Max Dean - What You Won't Do For Love (Original Mix)

https://www.beatport.com/release/its-my-beat/4022161

Dutch label PIV keeps on serving up the goods as they welcome Belfast youngster Robbie Doherty with another standout track. This one has been doing the damage for some time now on the dance floors around the world, so this is a long awaited release.

Once again here Robbie shows his love of 90's house grooves and a real grasp of depth. It's My Beat is a tight, kicking tune with rubbery bass rumbling underneath razor sharp hi hats. Well placed vocals bring a futuristic sense of soul and as the groove bumps on it's easy to see why floors have been rocking to this one.

This is another fresh sound from PIV and ever more essential artist Robbie Doherty.

Chris Stussy showcases his diverse sound with the long-awaited release of new single, ‘Desire.’

Adding to his thriving Up The Stuss imprint, the launch of his Across Boundaries project and his standout debut on FUSE with ‘Midtown Playground’ in 2023, the highly anticipated release of ‘Desire’ lands as his first material of the year on 9th February 2024.

From the rich piano chords and ever-silky drum grooves through to the vibrant synth leads and alluring vocals at the heart of the production, the expertly crafted ‘Desire’ is another exploration of the ever-expanding Stussy sound as he continues to showcase precisely why he’s an artist in unprecedented global demand.

Fresh off a BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record feature with his 2024 ‘Take Me Away’, Lewis Taylor has been a core part of the Trick family, appearing on the label’s 2023 ‘Lethal Bangers Vol. 1’ V/A and lineups at festivals such as Creamfields and WeAreFestvl. The Newcastle talent now returns with his debut solo EP on Topping’s imprint, ‘Kickin’ In The Beat’.

“Both tracks perfectly represent where want to take my sound going forward. I am heavily inspired by 90s house and love that a lot of producers and labels have brought that sound back to the forefront of dance music in recent years. Trick has been a key player in doing this, so I am honoured to have it as a platform to share these two tracks with the world!” - Lewis Taylor.

Up first is the vibrant 'Kickin’ In The Beat', a high speed and compelling garage-house groove with shuffling drums and bouncing bass. The clipped vocal loops provide that irresistible hook with a 90s feel, erupting into a top line that is destined to do damage. 'Shake It Up' is another immediately catchy groove with tight, dusty drums and punchy low end. Beyond the physical appeal, a retro bassline and subtle garage skip all help elevate it to the next level.

Lewis Taylor ‘Kickin’ In The Beat’ EP drops via Trick on 19th April 2024.

If debuts are anything to go by, the return Across Boundaries on Up The Stuss is a guaranteed treat. A collaborative project born out of mutual passion and understanding between two close friends, Chris Stussy and Locklead’s joint guise has taken the house landscape by storm, and the pair are only one release into their exciting journey. Merging signature sonics with future-focused ideas, the project takes cues from its name and sees the pair bridge genres and influences to deliver a raw and impactful take on house music - something on show here with their sophomore offering, ‘Synergy’.

Created to showcase a deeper side to their diverse sound palettes and a project for the duo to express themselves differently to their own solo sets and productions, the latest five-track EP contains a kaleidoscope of sounds and textures to soundtrack moments from sunrise to sunset and beyond.

Another essential pick-up to tick off your want list.

A remix I did for the legend Todd Terry. The original 'Bounce to the beat' came out in 1995. 30 years later, here's my take on it.

The phrase 'hotly-tipped' is thrown around a lot nowadays, but UK talent Gaskin is one of those artists for whom it is intended. Based in the North-East, the blossoming DJ/producer is an individual who has quickly found his sound, and to great effect with regular support from a long list of selectors and tastemakers from across the scene - most notably, Chris Stussy. Having featured as a selection of unreleased go-to cuts in his sets over the past year and after inviting him to join as a guest on his sold-out UK tour, Stussy now welcomes the exciting Brit to Up The Stuss for his three-track 'Closer' EP. Expect a mix of blissful synth-driven tones through to tougher electro-leaning spheres across a slick trifecta of house excursions as a few more of those heavily requested IDs finally see the lights of day.
