Hot on the heels of another impressive Ibiza residency across the summer, Jamie Jones’ iconic Paradise invites  Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based Gruuve to join its growing label roster. The rising DJ/producer hasn’t looked  back since his breakthrough ‘Wrong File’ EP on Deeperfect in 2014, catching the attention of some of the  industry’s biggest names, including Marco Carola, Michael Bibi and De La Swing. Now boasting an extensive  catalogue of releases on Glasgow Underground, Lapsus, MUSE and his own imprint MUUV, he steps up for his  most significant release to date and joins the Paradise family with his ‘Without You’ EP, perfectly timed to coincide  with their annual ADE event. 

“I think this EP says a lot about my career path, and I'm so proud that it will be released on Paradise. I say  this because I always produce music from scratch without track references or templates and try to be as  authentic as possible.  

I produced 'Without You' around 2021, just when I started playing with 303 basslines. My main goal was to  create an underground beat with groovy percussive elements and a catchy vocal to give it more  personality. The synth arp on the breaks adds the perfect dark touch! 'Sher Der Der' was made thinking of  Paradise. My objective was to create a more energetic track, so I put a lot of congas in there and again  used a 303 bassline. I also spent some time trying to find a vocal hook to fit this beat, and I think it was a  good choice." - Gruuve.  

‘Without You’ is a slinking house cut loaded with big synth stabs and warping chimes over rhythmic drums for a  wonky, tripped-out track. ‘Sher Der Der’ then strips things back to a thumping house groove with deep male  chants and ethereal chords, switching up the atmosphere to create the perfect dancefloor weapon. 

Gruuve ‘Without You’ EP drops via Paradise Music on 20th October 2023.

Hailing from Manchester, AJ Christou stands as a testament to artistic accomplishment with his unwavering commitment to his evolving craft and sound. The success of his new label, V-House Sound, has made this year particularly significant for him, with unshakable support from industry heavyweights like Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, and Jamie Jones, backing his reputation as one of the most sought-after DJs in the game. With another impressive year behind him, December now marks his debut on Jamie Jones’ and Lee Foss’ iconic Hot Creations as he delivers two club ready gems in his ‘Babaloop’ EP. 

“I started this track whilst I was in Thailand playing for Babaloop, it was inspired by the never ending party  in the mangroves on the beach which has been one of my highlights of the year, can’t wait to be back  there NYE.” - AJ Christou 

The bumping two-tracker kicks off with ‘Babaloop’, a lively late-night house cut featuring entrancing male chants and a bouncing bassline that captivates the listener with its groove. ‘No Fear’ follows up with a funky bass riff, alluring female vocals and deep stabs, radiating prime-time resonance and bustling club energy.

Surging in global demand and continuing to impress both within the studio and beyond the decks, Danish/Filipino DJ/producer and label owner Manda Moor and her groove-infused house sound have been making waves of late. With her stand-out single ‘Picante’ still featured heavily in rotation for an endless list of key names, and with her own Mood Child imprint thriving, the next step in Moor’s growing journey is a bold entrance and a big label debut on Loco Dice’s SB Recordings as she serves up her latest single, ‘KarateCat’.
“I wanted to reveal a different facet of my musical persona. By creating a high-energy tune, I drew inspiration from Dice's vibe and hip-hop influences, infusing it with my own spice.” - Manda Moor.
Packed full of vigour and bringing yet more shades of her vibrant and punchy trademark sound, ‘KarateCat’ is an all-action affair from the off as skippy percussion, warping vocal iterations, piercing stabs and bumping bass licks take hold for a sizzling terrace affair, before Dice’s no-nonsense interpretation of the track sees the label head honcho toughen things up with heavy-kitting kicks while adding to the low-ends with a carnival-infused bedlam of energy to close the show.
Manda Moor ‘KarateCat’ EP drops via SB Recordings on 10th May 2024.

Manda Moor is not just riding the wave of the underground — she’s shaping it. The Danish-Filipino DJ, producer, and co-founder of Mood Child has become a force in contemporary house music. Known for her signature spicy grooves and contagious energy on the dance floor, Manda Moor’s passion and indisputable music taste have never gone unnoticed.
With roots in France and a deep connection to the golden era of Chicago House, Manda’s sound is an intoxicating blend of groove-driven house and techno, infused with raw emotion, bounce, and bold character. Her sets are as flavorful as they are explosive, earning her B2B slots with powerhouses like Jamie Jones, Loco Dice, Nick Curly, Cuartero, Prunk, Reboot, Yaya, and wAFF — artists who not only respect her artistry but actively champion it.
Having topped charts on labels like Hot Creations, Kaluki, Cecille, SB Recs, Paradise, and Tamango, Manda’s breakout EPs What U Want and Picante both claimed #1 on Beatport, cementing her as a production talent to be reckoned with. Her sound has received unwavering support from legends like Carl Cox, Luciano, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, Louie Vega, DJ Sneak, Paul Johnson, and Seth Troxler. Moreover, she’s earned the trust of Chicago royalty, remixing icons like DJ Deeon, K-Alexi, DJ Pierre, and Roy Davis Jr.
Beyond her personal success, Manda Moor is building a movement through Mood Child — the acclaimed label, event series, and lifestyle brand she co-founded with Sirus Hood. Voted Beatport’s Hype Label of the Year, Mood Child is known for its authentic community spirit, analog-rich sound, and unforgettable parties. The imprint stands out for its bold, genre-blurring identity and storytelling spirit, with the particularity of releasing only VAs that showcase distinct moods — Wild Moods, Dreamy Moods, Trippy Moods, and more.
As a party series, Mood Child is a space for risk-taking and self-expression, where DJs are encouraged to play outside the box — shifting from disco to dark minimal, from tropical rhythms to hypnotic grooves — while always staying true to their story. It’s more than a party; it’s a celebration of mood, unity, freedom, and musical culture.
Whether it’s at Amnesia Ibiza, Space Miami, Sunwaves, Cercle, Creamfields, The Warehouse Project, Printworks, or Hi Ibiza, Manda brings a feverish energy that connects with both seasoned ravers and the next generation of house lovers. Her presence on platforms like Circoloco Radio, Mixmag, Ibiza Global, and DJ Mag only reinforces her reputation as an artist who delivers — in the booth, in the studio, and on the global stage.
Manda Moor has stepped into her power — now a reference in the scene and a tastemaker leading the charge for a groovier, spicier future.
