Released - 23rd June 2025
Format - 7" Vinyl

Venice-based DJ and collector Zaffa is next up on the ever-superb Scruniversal label with a couple more delightful disco dancers. 'Trip Through The Galaxy' is a slow-motion cosmic trip that is vast in scale and high on soul thanks to the warm vocal that floats amidst funky riffs and glowing keys. Things stay just as sensuous and steamy on the flip with 'Supernova Child', another fluid and funky jam with oodles of synth magic and gentle grooves all soothing mind, body and soul. The real kicker is the vocal samples that add extra spaced-out funkiness.

Love Is The Drug / Ease Out 
Label - Star Creature 
Released - 18th June 2025
Format - Vinyl/Digital
BUY FROM - https://brianellis.bandcamp.com/album/ease-out

Absolutely insane, top shelf Boogie cover version here. Star Creature's Tim Zawada taps Brian Ellis for another supreme collaboration giving us an incredible rendition of an all-time spaced-out Chicago post-disco grail. Ellis recreates the original with extreme accuracy in both the gear used and the feeling. It's almost confusing because Brian Ellis also appears credited on the original pressings label? Did dude travel back and forth in time to make both versions? This is cosmically-reclined smooth-stank boogie at it's a finest. Another absolute blast off on the always consistent Tugboat Editions imprint. NASA Certifiable.

#hsmpremiere
Artist: Marcus Watkins 
Track: Soul Revival
Release Title: Perpetual Gruv EP
Label:  People of the Light (POTL)
Release Date:  12-Jun-25
Buy: https://li.sten.to/potl017

People of the Light unveil Perpetual Gruv EP, a record that marks a faithful return to the labels deep house roots, an offering of 7 tracks of absolute heat that marks Marcus Watkins' debut on the label. Hailing from Chicago’s rich lineage of dance music innovation, Watkins crafts three original cuts in Club Detroit, Soul Revival, and When I Fly Towards You. A trio that pulse's with a timeless blend of groove and soul. With warm chords, hypnotic bass, keys that keep you moving and reverent nods to the legends before him, Watkins packages his deeper sound into a truly contemporary narrative.

One of the hallmarks of a POTL release is often the remixes and the package as a whole, this time we have Myles Sergé adding depth to the package, the ever-elusive artist steps up with his Naked Parts Remix of Soul Revival, distilling it into a stripped-back, darker meditation that cuts straight to the floor. Label boss Jay Hill brings her own flavour with her distinct D’Lite version of Club Detroit: a deep-rolling extended reworking for late-night escapades, with Jay's uniquely chunky groove. Altogether, Perpetual Gruv EP embodies a return to foundational sounds for the label, always pushing fresh sounds inspired by the roots of everything they love.

PREMIERE: The Loneliest Hunk - Flip Flows [Lisztomania]

#hsmpremiere
Artist: Demarkus Lewis 
Track: Cold Heart 
Release title: Love Still Lives EP
Label: Vibe Me To The Moon
Release date: 27-Jun-25

Seasoned house favourite Demarkus Lewis lands on the ever more vital Vibe Me To The Moon Records

The US mainstay drops a trio of buttery deep house delights

Demarkus Lewis has been a real voice in the house world for more than 25 years. His music has come on influential staples like Large Music, King Street and Nervous, as well as his own Grin Music, Grin Traxx and Grin & Bass. He's a versatile artist with an authentic style, whether making tech, jack, deep or Afro-inspired sounds, and for that reason continues to DJ celebrated clubs across the US and Europe on a regular basis. This time out he gets deep and seductive on Nightsteppaz's sophisticated Vibe Me To The Moon Records.  

'Cold Heart' is a silky smooth groove, stripped back to the essentials but beautifully warm. The smeared chords make that so, while hooky motifs and twinkling pads bring a musicality that is all too rare. The icing on the cake is a smouldering r&b vocal that's aloof and magnetic. Slow-burn gem 'Love Still Lives' oozes late-night romance. The bubbly bassline nudges the groove forward with subtle swing that nods to classic US garage and a vocal that's equal parts tender and intoxicating. The whole thing is wrapped in syrupy pads that melt into the mix for after-dark love-ins.‘ Closer Touch My Love’ is another mood-soaked house cut for cosy corners and close company. Gentle, skipping drums create a soft, swaying rhythm as splashy cymbals shimmer like candlelight and a cooing neo-soul vocal whispers sweet nothings. 

These are the kind of love-up deep house tracks that quietly wrap around you and make the real world fade away.

Italo house at its best! This track is a new version of a tune that originally came out in 2014. produced by Toy Tonics boss Kapote.
Originally released under his former producer name MUNK. It sounds fresher now than back then, when it was too much ahead of its time.

This track works on any dance floor. It brings this special new school Italo vibe to every party. Made by Kapote back then when he was producing indie dance.
In case you don't know: Kapote used to produce music under the name MUNK and run an indie dance label called GOMMA. Back in the late 2000s he was producing music with LCD Soundsystem, Peaches, WhoMadeWho, The Rammellzee and others.  Now, Toy Tonics re-releases the song in a new version.

Discolifting 03 EP
Label - Funkyjaws Music
Released - 4th August 2025
Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/black-truffle-discolifting-03-vinyl/1086666-01/

The faultless Funkyjaws music rolls out another irresistible disco dazzler in its Discolifting series with Enigmatic producer Black Truffle at the helm. He debuted in 2023 and has landed on labels like Gamm and this one before now, always making a mark in the process. 'Ti Voglio' starts with some fiery Latin vocals and big strings straight from a Philly disco classic. 'Venus' has a fat low end and stepping groove with plenty of lavish instrumental flair, and 'To Be The One' is a filter-heavy, funky-disco cruiser for good times only. 'Cassandra' slows things down with some steamy sexual energy from the horns and rich chord stabs, sure to get any dance floor heated right up.
