PREMIERE: Catchment - Lift

Toronto/Berlin producer and Big Trouble Records founder @andrezimmermusic has emerged as one of house and techno’s hottest commodities, fresh off his scorching fabric Records release with Carlita. Now he joins DJ Tennis’s Life and Death label with the announcement of his 4-track Kwon Anthem EP, out September 19.

Arriving alongside the announcement is the lead single “Hypnotizing” — a piano-driven, ethereal cut that highlights Zimmer’s ability to channel rave nostalgia into shimmering, emotive house designed for peak dance floor moments.

The EP also features the standout track “That’s Right,” which has already been making waves across clubs worldwide. With early support from Peggy Gou, Dam Swindle, Massimilliano Pagliara, Alinka, Jorkes, Luigi Di Venere, and more — including rotations at Panorama Bar and viral fan videos from Peggy Gou, Bella and beyond — it’s quickly becoming one of Zimmer’s most in-demand productions.

Across Kwon Anthem EP, Zimmer balances hypnotic, orchestral breakdowns, progressive trance textures built from Roland SRX patches (“Kwon’s Anthem”), and a cosmic, downtempo detour structured around a 707 jam (“Hours”). It’s his most ambitious and wide-ranging statement yet — and a fitting debut on Life and Death.

With support from underground tastemakers and appearances at clubs and parties worldwide, Zimmer’s DJ sets reaffirm a classic but forward-thinking approach to house music.

Hypnotizing

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

After 2 outings on recent SHOUTS compilations, Asa Tate lands on Rhythm Section Intl proper with a timeless EP - “ Replica”.

Asa Tate, fka Tech Support has been on a bit of a tear recently and this record feels like a real step up: a statement of intention aimed directly at the peak time dance floor.

A student of the Weatherall school of DJing, Asa Tate has showcased an astonishingly mature approach to production over the years that belies his age. You’d be forgiven for thinking these 4 tracks had been discovered from a dusty DAT tape, locked away in the vaults of a northern Italian club and rediscovered after 30 years….Listen more closely and you’ll notice the contemporary production flair and more recent influences that make this EP a perfect reinterpretation of the mid 90s house sound: sitting somewhere between dream house and Morales finest work under the red zone moniker.

The EP wastes no time in setting it’s intentions with the A1 Title Track, “Replica” - after a brief and floaty progressive house intro the refrain “ E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ECSTASY” echoes loudly over sampled vocals, euphorias piano chords, throbbing lead synths and a bouncy tech house bass line. It straddles so many sub genres of house without feeling derivative of any of them. Cliche’s and classic samples are embraced playfully and serve to contextualise and elevate the influences. This is not just really great house music or excellent storytelling, it’s art history.

“89” is a sultry deep house cut featuring rising Spanish star, Dariam Coco on Vocals. It floats like a butterfly, but stings like a bee, as the soft chords are interrupted with huge drum fills deftly transforming an after party jam to a peak time moment.

We continue to “ Unknowns” - a masterclass in building tension and holding it - this track simmers with restrained intensity for almost 6 minutes. It’s trademark Asa Tate production at its most understated and classy.

We round of the EP with the fittingly titled “Last Dance”, a wistful composition that brings us back down to earth slowly, safely and gently; always grooving but never pushing - this one is the soundtrack to the end of a long summer day and reaffirms Asa Tate’s claim to be a modern master of Deep House.

We’re super excited to give Ned the platform he deserves and look forward to hearing this one soundtrack many a dance as this long, beautiful summer draws to a close
