On a rainy late September day in the mid eighties, 7 year old Phillip Lauer didn't know what to expect from that little new born G, who was referred to as his brother Jacob. On the other hand, Baby Jacob wasn't very sure of what to make of this - back then still sporty - youngster either, who behaved like his boss. To make a short story long... it took them almost 30 years to finally find out - behind the helm of the infamous Pyramide 2 Studio when conducting this fine piece of home made dance music: the Brudis EP.

St. David Delivers a Blistering New Remix of ‘Good Music’ on Definitive Recordings.

Definitive Recordings continues its commitment to bridging classic house energy with the sound of today, as St. David steps up with a bold and banging remix of ‘Good Music’, the iconic 2011 release by John Acquaviva, Alex D’Elia, Nihil Young, featuring the unmistakable vocals of Dan Diamond.

Reimagining the original through his signature lens of groove and analog flavor, St. David transforms ‘Good Music’ into a timeless house smasher, anchored by a powerful bassline and a shuffling rhythm that keeps the floor moving from the first bar. While the heart of the original, Dan Diamond’s vocal, remains at the forefront, St. David injects new life with rolling drums and the addition of classic piano chords that gradually build into a peak-time weapon.

Known for his remixes of Las Americas’ ‘Do It’ on Definitive, St. David is quickly becoming one of the genre’s most respected tastemakers. Born in Bari, Italy in 1991, he draws deep inspiration from the American house tradition, combining soulful, vintage textures with club-ready grooves. His vinyl-only label, Theory of Swing Records, is his personal homage to 90s house, and his releases frequently hit the top of vinyl charts around the world.

With this remix of ‘Good Music’, St. David honors the legacy of a Definitive classic while pushing it straight back into the heart of today’s house scene.

Good Music (St. David Club Room Extended Remix) [feat. Dan Diamond]

Kevin Toro - Kenny Bell (Priku Remix)

In the neon-tinted vastness of 1970s cinema space, the SS Star-Love zipped toward Earth, her portholes gleaming with glittery chrome. Captain Vixen Valhalla, star of the United Federation of Erotic Justice, tightened her silver thigh-high boots and flicked her platinum bangs. Her mission: save Earth from the carnal clutches of the infamous Lustron Invaders.
The Lustron saucers beamed down lust rays, causing Earth’s population to break into spontaneous disco-fueled seductions. The minuscule model city trembled under the weight of passion.
As mayhem reigned, only Vixen’s Cosmic Libido Ray could invert the Lustron energy! She adjusted the settings: "Pleasure," "Ecstasy," "Overload." She pressed "Overload."
The SS Star-Love soared off into the psychedelic cosmos, ready for her next campy, adventure—where love always save the day.
Intended for mature audiences. Viewer discretion (and a sense of humor) advised.

Jakob Mäder
Sparkling Remixes
Release Date: 22/08/2025

Following on from his acclaimed debut for Lava Lava, Jakob is back to soundtrack your Summer with two sublime remixes from Atlantic Brain & Frederik Neu plus a bonus original production.

First up, is Atlantic Brain’s take on ‘Sparkling’. Shuffling, broken beats lean into a punchy bass line. Re-constructed piano hooks and euphoric acid lines sweep you deeper into this irresistible groove as it unfolds over 5 and a half minutes.

Next, Frederik Neu turns his hand to ‘Enjoy The Light’, giving the track an altogether deeper energy. A softer, rounded bass bounces alongside crisp percussion and echoing cowbells. Frederik draws out the breakdown, layering whispering vocals, soft chords and distant piano lines to maximum effect, making the track a perfect accompaniment to a hazy summer night’s sunset.

Rounding off the EP is bonus track ‘Pattern 2’. Jakob spins retro 808 claps and cowbells alongside acid lines, chest shaking bass notes and resonant synth stabs to create an unapologetic dance-floor detonator.

Groover's Paradise w/ Blue Detroit - 14.08.25

exclusive | Natebytheway - Snazzy init | Beatnik Collective

With Beatnik Collective stepping into its third chapter, the Manchester label - helmed by Adam and Rossa - ushers in its first full artist EP, “Hardtoknow” by Natebytheway. The four-tracker marks both an end and a beginning for the San Francisco-born producer: his last works produced in Berlin before returning home, yet also the latest step in a steadily rising trajectory that already saw him turn heads with a standout release on Growing Pleasures, championed by the likes of Dr. Banana.

The A2 cut, “Snazzy init”, distills Nate’s sonic identity into five and a half minutes of understated mischief. Opening with otherworldly, space-flecked tones, the track swiftly grounds itself in a supple, groove-laden house bassline - neither flashy nor forceful, but irresistibly head-nodding. Falsetto-style vocal chops weave in and out like fleeting apparitions, giving the track a playful eccentricity without ever breaking its cool. Piano stabs punctuate the mix, trading places with those airy cosmic flourishes, lending a subtle tension-and-release dynamic that makes the track feel alive without ever overreaching.

It’s laidback, it’s slick, and it’s got that sly “must-drop” character that sneaks its way into nearly any set. “Snazzy init” slides in, takes control of the floor, and leaves you wondering why you’d ever want to play anything else. Natebytheway proves once again that his grooves may be born in Berlin, but their pull is universal.
