D Stone debuts on Heist Recordings with a record that shows us why he’s one of the hottest talents in house music right now 

Chloe Caillet is in on it. Cinthie is in on it. SG lewis and Demi Riquísimo are in on it too. So are Folamour, Barry Can’t Swim and, of course, Dam Swindle. In on what exactly?

In on the fact that D Stone might be the most exciting young producer and DJ you will find in the house scene right now. Oh, and he’s also a great guy who says Heist was his dream label to release on. When we found out we were fans of on each other, it was only logical that we signed his ‘Time Selection’ EP; A 5-track record that shows us how cool and catchy underground house music can be if it’s done well. 

D Stone, born Daan Steenhuizen has had a meteoric rise in the scene in the past years and has only just finished his study at the Conservatory, where Lars was one of his mentors. His vinyl debut was on Cecille in 2023 with that absolute anthem ‘Total unison’. He then released on Cinthie’s 803 Crystal Grooves in 2024 and has a busy 2025 with releases on Chloe Caillet’s label Smiile, Semi Delicious, a release planned for Barry Can’t Swim’s fresh label ‘Earth’s only paradise’ and now, Heist. He’s been touring relentlessly in between, already playing legendary places like Ibiza’s Pikes, Amsterdam’s Shelter and with big shows planned at Warehouse project and in Australia, you can just feel all the right things happening for him.

The ’Time Selection’ EP kicks off with ‘Yes I Am’, an upbeat house track with plenty of hints of the old school, playful vocal chops and above all, some lovely piano work. It’s stripped back, but full of energy, with driving 909 percussion, retro flutes and a rolling bass line. It’s as much a pallet cleanser in a set as it is a teasing mid-set highlight.

‘Move Over’ features the vocals of ELY and sees D Stone dive deeper into vintage house territory, with a classic bassline and percussion that stays true to the core of the classic drum machines, hinting as much towards the electro-pop sound of New Order and the futurism of early Mr. Fingers releases. The vocal is daring and cute at the same time, and does a great job tapping into the nostalgia of the pop-house cross-over songs of the early 90s. 

'Time Selection' is arguably the heaviest cut of the record, much in style of his breakthrough track ‘Total Unison’. This track is built around a strong piano theme, supported by driving 909 drums, strings and cleverly placed disco bleeps to keep the track accessible and uplifting. Add to that a big breakdown, and you’ll understand why we’ve been reaching for this track peak set for the past months.

On the flip, we’ve got ‘One Thing’, a subtle and introverted track built around a bumpy disco bassline with a hook that’s silly on first listen but will end up being the one thing you’ll keep humming for the rest of the day. In short, it’s a banger in disguise. 

The last track of the EP is ‘Everything from the Organ’, a track where D Stone is not afraid to show his love for throwback ravey elements. There’s organ licks, horns and chopped vocals that propel you straight to the front-left of whichever dancefloor D Stone is reigning at that moment.  

Don’t sleep on the Heist debut of one of Amsterdam’s biggest talents, cause this one will go like hot cakes! As always, enjoy the music and play it loud! 

Yours, 
Maarten & Lars

True (feat Ease Up George remix) EP
Label - GLBDOM Classic

Herb Rhythm has long been kicking out brilliantly garage and house sounds and now he is back with something a little deeper on GLBDOM Classic. 'True' is a smooth and soulful garage house sound, but it's not overly produced - there are still some nice frayed edges to the drums while the vocal is an r&b gem. It comes in various mixes from bumping for the club to more cut-up and 2-step from Ease Up George. On the flip is the fresh dub garage delight 'So Many' with plenty of nostalgic throwbacks and liquid chords, then 'You Can Do It' closes with a more direct sound but still plenty of warming pads. A mighty useful EP, for sure.

PREMIERE: Herb Rhythm – You Can Do It (Original Mix)

Scottish producer Austin Ato follows up his much-played first volume with I Love Your Edits Vol 2, a new 12" for his own I Love Your Edits imprint. Known for disco, house and gospel influences, he's built a reputation for clever reworks that give vintage material sharper edges and extra weight for modern floors. This second instalment continues in that vein, stretching and reshaping rare grooves into extended club tools while retaining their original warmth. Having previously landed releases on Phonica White and Defected, Austin Ato's edit series has become a space for him to flex his ear for deep cuts and playful reconstruction.

PREMIERE: D Stone - Yes I am [Heist Recordings]

Heist Recordings was founded by Dam Swindle as a means to gain full control over their own releases, and to create a stage for likeminded musicians to showcase their music. From the first release on, Dam Swindle’s “Break up to make up” EP in summer 2013, Heist has been a go to label for proper underground house and electronic music. Now, nearly 40 releases and 5 compilations in, Heist has brought forward artists like Frits Wentink, Nebraska, Adesse Versions, Fouk, Kassian, Nachtbraker and Alma Negra and continues to search for new talent, with Lars & Maarten fully focused on the A&R side of the label. 

Up till 2016, remixes on the label have been solely done by other original Heist artists on the yearly “Round up EP”, where the remixer and remixee get connected by the luck of the draw and a limited edition double pack is put out. After that, Maarten and Lars decided it was time to add remixers to the EP’s as well, which saw interesting collaboration, expanded the label family with names like Matthew Herbert, Tom Noble, Pépé Bradock, Ge-ology and Byron the Aquarius. 

In 2023 we've celebrated 10 years of Heist Recordings. The year showed a whole batch of releases by new artists like Byron the Aquarius, Amy Dabbs and Cinthie and by Dam Swindle themselves.
