Work It (Percussion Dub)

Italian DJ-producer Luyo joins forces with Barcelona based Luis Mendez on this club-ready Afro jackin' bomb, delivering an uptempo groove designed to move hips and lift spirits. “Work It” is built on an irresistible percussive backbone, driving toms, and crisp shakers layered with deep vocal stabs that channel a raw, stripped-back energy reminiscent of early 2000s tribal house — but polished for today’s floors.

The track’s standout feature is its hypnotic vocal refrain — a commanding call to action that lives up to the title — weaving through the relentless rhythm like a mantra. You can hear both producers' fingerprints clearly: Luyo’s flair for soulful-yet-percussive arrangements meets Mendez’s jackin’ energy and Latin-tinged urgency. It's this hybrid that gives “Work It” its punch and replay value.

The stripped-down break midway adds perfect tension, clearing the floor for that triumphant return of the groove. DJs looking to fire up peak-time sets or inject momentum into warm-up slots will find this a trusty weapon.

Double Records is stepping confidently back into the spotlight with this one — this is no filler; this is fuel.

For fans of: Joeski, Dennis Cruz, Bontan, Pablo Fierro and early Strictly Rhythm vibes.
