German producer Tilman puts his personal spin on Sharon Redd’s classic Activate, delivering two distinct reworks that both nod to the roots of house music while offering fresh dancefloor appeal.

The Metro Mix channels early proto house energy – raw and driving with a no-frills groove that brings out the track’s underground potential. A tribute to stripped-back club tools with just the right amount of grit.

Meanwhile, the Paradise Mix smooths things out, layering warm pads, flowing piano chords and mellow grooves into a deep house rework that feels timeless and inviting.
Both mixes highlight Tilman’s instinct for balance – between function and feeling, rhythm and harmony – and reimagine Activate with care, character, and club awareness.

PREMIERE: Tree Threes - Right Way

Do What U Feel EP
Label - U FIT
Released - 6th October 2025
Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://clone.nl/item80577.html

Nico Lahs is back on his home label U Fit with another effortlessly classy house EP. This is the latest in a long line of accomplished outings from this prolific producer and, as always, it manages to subtly straddle different worlds. 'Do What U Feel' is vibey house with excitable drums and chords that get you wanting to move, then 'Get Away' sinks you into a sun-kissed Mediterranean house sound awash with breezy chords. 'Losing Respect' is darker, more gritty and dusty, then a Specter remix flips 'Get Away' into a timeless deep house jaunt with real Chicago roots.

PREMIERE: Luca Olivotto - You Need To Hear This  [FROUFROUFROU]

The ever-reliable FCL aka Belgian house heroes San Soda and Red D are back on the block with this remastered remix package of ‘Can We Try’.

It’s a soul-drenched dancefloor meditation that taps into the timeless tension of love and longing.  With its raw vocal hooks (courtesy of Lady Linn), analog warmth, and stripped-down groove, the original cut is pure FCL: emotionally rich, effortlessly deep, and aimed straight at discerning dance floors.

Bringing fresh heat to the 2014 original, three heavyweights of house and techno step in for remix duties—each reworking the track in their own signature style. First up, Jimpster injects his trademark deep, jazzy finesse, flipping ‘Can We Try’ into a swirling, soulful roller—lush pads, Moog flourishes, and enough swing to keep bodies moving and hearts locked in.

Ben Hixon, the Dallas-based underground wizard, lays down a chunky, hardware-heavy rework full of crunchy drums and woozy funk.  It's lo-fi soul with hi-fi intent. Deetron closes it out with a peak-time bomb—big room pressure, hypnotic bass, intense stabs and the kind of tension-release dynamics that only a true craftsman can deliver.

‘Can We Try’ is a reminder that dance music doesn’t’t need to shout to speak volumes. With this return, FCL prove that their music can truly stand the test of time, sounding as fresh today as when it first dropped over a decade ago.  Lovingly remastered by the man with the golden ears Atjazz!
