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.

Peggy Gou’s Gudu label announces the second edition of its Various Artists compilation series, Gudu & Friends Vol. 2.

First launched last year, Gudu & Friends Vol. 1 featured eight new tracks, from already-established label regulars (DMX Krew, Mogwaa, Hiver, Dukwa, Brian de Palma) and a trio of new faces (Closet Yi, Salamanda, Lady Blacktronika). In keeping with the international outlook and spirit that has always been at the forefront of Gudu, the compilation comprised artists from South Korea, Italy, the UK, USA, Korea and Ukraine.

Released on May 2, digitally and as a limited cassette edition, Gudu & Friends Vol. 2 features a batch of new faces to the label — Alinka, Gina Breeze, Jordan Nocturne (featuring Coco Cole), Minju and Nyra — alongside Hiver, Mogwaa, Dukwa and Matisa.

Each Gudu & Friends compilation will have artwork tied into the lunar new year. For Gudu & Friends Vol. 2, the art comes from illustrator Jin Young Choi (who also illustrates the Gudu Mix series) and reflects the year of the dragon.

Tracklist:
1. Hiver - Drama
2. Alinka - Night Train
3. Gina Breeze - Rebound
4. Mogwaa - Arctica
5. Dukwa - Coco
6. Matisa - Yummy

Following her killer contribution to Gudu & Friends Vol. 2, Gudu Records formally welcomes Alinka to the label.

A real DJ’s DJ, Alinka was born and brought up in Kyiv, but spent her formative years in the house heartlands of Chicago, so you know the dance music heritage runs deep here. She spent the 2000s as a resident at Justin Long’s .Dotbleep party at the city’s legendary Smartbar club, and in 2012 launched Twirl - her party series and label with Shaun J. Wright which has housed music by Spencer Parker, Kim Ann Foxman and more in the past.

Now based in Berlin, Alinka is on a rich form when it comes to her own productions. Her first full EP for Gudu showcases the sort of lean production that you only really get from killer DJs: each of the tracks on Dance Like Nobody’s Watching are precision-tooled for maximum impact, with the smart, economical touch of someone who’s been studying dancefloors and how to make them move for years.

In Alinka’s words: "Peggy Gou and I met years ago at Panorama Bar in Berlin and had the best time, and I’ve been a fan of her music since the start. We share a common love for house music, so when she asked me to make music for Gudu, I was really honored and excited. I wrote these tracks just for her and the label, so it’s a very special project for me, and the music means a lot to me. It’s music for the dance floor. I grew up in Chicago, so I make tracks to close your eyes and dance to like no one's watching. It's an ode to the timeless sound that shaped my life." 

Tracklist:
01. Pure Ecstasy 
02. Freedom Dance 
03. Ultraviolet
04. Blue Dream

The Politics Of Dancing label celebrates its tenth anniversary with a special sampler EP featuring four on-point house cuts. Olivier Romero gets dark and deep with his menacing 'Shout The Killer,' Josh Baker's 'Can Anybody Help' then gets more upbeat and party-ready with its silky pads and upright kicks, while Cosenza explores a raw and percussive tech house vibe with busy lead that zips about the mix. It's pure Detroit house cruising with the closer from Camilo Gil & ONE Plus. Happy birthday to this fine label and here's to many effective more EPs like this one.

Balancing his jazz-influenced house explorations with a wealth of material aimed squarely at the floor, Italian DJ/producer Blackchild has been on a hot streak of late, with a series of impactful productions making serious global noise while also curating his growing label and event series NAIMA in unison. Fresh from his high-profile remix of house icon St. Germain, the Solid Grooves regular returns to his adopted label with arguably his biggest record to date, finally unveiling the heavily-requested and eagerly-awaited release of 'So Good (Heat Mix).

From the infectious sax melodies that have been hypnotising dancers around the globe to the slick, silky drums and the track's bumping low-ends, 'So Good (Heat Mix)' is a dopamine-drenched anthem that looks set to command dancefloors all summer long as Blackchild and Solid Grooves show out to serve up the goods once more.

Brain De Palma returns to Peggy Gou’s Gudu label with ‘U Ya Kwini’, a blinding new dance single just in time for festival season. 

A collaboration with Victor Kwality, who sings in Changana - a dialect native to Mozambique - ‘U Ya Kwini’ has been a highlight of Peggy’s sets all year, and is the first piece of music from Brain de Palma’s forthcoming debut album on Gudu. 

We’ll reveal more on that in the near future, but as someone who’s been a part of the Gudu family since the start, we can’t think of anyone better to be behind the label’s first album. Until then, dive deep into ‘U Ya Kwini’. Summer’s officially here!
