@dj-thadz carries the Dance Mania Legends torch on his own @clownhousemuzik imprint with a focused two-tracker, landing the same day as DJ Slugo’s companion drop.

'Freak Hoe' swaps restraint for a little grit: snap accents, stripped hats, a chant that cuts through smoke and strobe. It’s direct and playable, the kind of Chicago sound that echoes through time and lasts forever.

'All Night', the latest single from @state-offf, throws gqom into collision with UK garage in a high-energy rush that doesn't let up over the course of four minutes.

Thobeka’s vocals, recorded in Johannesburg, cut through the beat with raw urgency, while gqom wunderkind ZVRI (@user-640652479) adds extra weight on production, pushing the track into a floor-shaking reimagining of both worlds.

Japan’s @sakuratsuruta appears for the first time on Will Hofbauer’s @thirdplacerecords with a new EP, ‘What Are You Drinking?’, a dreamscape of soothing synths, rubbery basslines, and playful, unrelenting grooves.

"The question, "what are you drinking?" for me is a soft invitation - something I find myself asking when the bass is thumping, and I’m feeling a little social. This EP is a toast to that moment - the buzz, the curiosity, the clinking glasses, and spontaneous laughter. A sonic nightcap for the dancefloor," she says.

Swiss shapeshifter @elsa-9-9 surfaces on @punctualityrecords for the first time, marking the label’s seventh release with an EP that dives deep and swims sideways through an eclectic milieu of club influences.

@roza-terenzi steps up to remix 'Web Glow', reanimating the track as a skeletal early-morning stepper—the mood is giving sizzling dubbed-out vocal wisps, pulsing subs, and stripped-back drums.
