PREMIERE: MEMPHIS GLASS - FOREVER LOST

This deep-digging compilation from Italian label Right Tempo offers a lovingly remastered sweep through jazz-inflected house from the decade between 1995 and 2005-a period where groove, musicianship and warmth reigned. The Daft Punk remix of I:Cube's 'Disco Cubizm' is an obvious highlight: clipped funk licks under elastic synths, reshaped with robotic swagger. The original mix rides smoother, more submerged. Josma's 'Voices Of Los Angeles' shimmers with Rhodes flourishes and disco flickers, while Mondo Grosso's 'Souffle H' (King Street Extended Club Mix) drives forward with crisp drums and brushed keys. Cricco Castelli's 'Life Is Changing' appears in two versions-both tightly arranged, with swung jazz-funk energy. Jo Boyer's 'Isabelle And The Rain', given a heady edit by Da Funkie Junkie & Cosmic Girl, closes the set with downtempo sparkle. Elegant, playable, and reissued with care.

Kiss Revenge EP
Label - Shadow Pressings

Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://djsplit1.bandcamp.com/album/kiss-revenge-ep

Shadow Pressings returns with its sixth vinyl-only release, this time spotlighting a full EP from DJ Split, whose latest effort dives deep into the gritty, jacking sounds of 90s Chicago house. Emerging from the shadows of the underground, DJ Split crafts stripped-back, floor-focused tracks rooted in the raw energy of early Chicago house. Known for tough drums, hypnotic loops, and a deep respect for analog grit, DJ Split’s sound pays homage to the sweat-soaked basements and speaker-stacked warehouses that shaped dance music's golden era. No gimmicks—just pure jackin’ music for those who know.

PREMIERE: Paffetti aka Black Loops - Yallah

Rick Wade is one of Detroit and house music's most consistent performers. He is a master of crafting tools that never miss on the floor but also have the sort of character that means they endure across the ages and remain impervious to passing trends. Art Is The Place has his latest, and it opens with the angelic vocals of 'Level Up' over a whimsical groove, then 'Big Ha Blues' gets more deep and zoned out with pillowy pads and wet claps. 'Intrusive Emotions' has a more grinding low end but stays slow and is softened by jazz keys, then 'Bitter Sweet brings some dust and grit. Another faultless outing from Wade.

PREMIERE: RICK WADE - LEVEL UP

Star Creature’s Global Caress series launches it’s 4th Outing with a giant 12” from a giant hero of the underground. The Chicago based label teased a very interesting 7” earlier this year that seemed to disappear from shops immediately thanks to its release at Detroit’s Movement Festival where Byron The Aquarius and label-head Tim Zawada were both gigging and circulating heavily. This 12” EP expands quite a bit with 6 tracks exploring Byron’s love of unique melodies and hypnotic rhythms built to move the body while transporting the mind. Hard hitting underground house meets techno with spirit of soul, skill of jazz and swing of hip hop.

PREMIERE: Byron The Aquarius - FaNtAsyies

Nova in You - Mausolle Sandro S Jo Fer

Dam Swindle’s new ‘Backyard Galaxy’ EP is an ode to house music and the classic Swindle sound. 

It’s only been a few months since Dam Swindle released their highly acclaimed album “Open” and already the boys are back on Heist with a new release that takes you right back to the dancefloor. Where they’ve spent the better part of the last 3 years writing their album with all its sonic explorations and collabs, this new EP sees the duo return to their roots of club-ready house music. The ‘Backyard Galaxy’ EP comes with 4 high-energy house tracks made in their Amsterdam studio that have been road-tested all summer.

EP opener “Feel it much?” has all the ingredients of a classic Swindle heater, with warm pads, rich organic percussion and tons of soul. There’s a simple and effective vocal running throughout the track that blends nicely with the classic house elements and electronic textures that are layered throughout the track. There’s an effortless flow to this track and it comes as no surprise that it has been a highlight in their sets this summer. 

The EP title track ‘Backyard Galaxy’ is an up-tempo Latin-themed jam with a hint of old school techno.  The synth stabs hit you just right and the modulated vocal chops are a lovely boost for the build ups and add a touch of swing to a track that already has a tight  groove. Add to that a huge breakdown and drum roll and you’ve got yourself a track that’ll light up any dancefloor.

On the flip, we’re moving into garage territory with the shuffling vibes of ‘Rhythm Baby’. The current popularity of the genre is not missed on Dam Swindle, but when you look closely, you’ll see this track is full of elements that the duo have built their legacy on. The vocal chops, transposed key samples and swing are all on point and work just as well below, as above 130 bpm if speed is your thing.

The EP closes with the NY-style house cut ‘What you give’, which reminds us of Dam Swindle’s remix of Cinthie’s Heist hit ‘Won’t U take me’ with its lush organs and moody keys. It’s perhaps the most classic house track they’ve made in a long time and you can hear they had a great time recording this. It’s playful, vibey and catchy. Just the way we like it.  

Dam Swindle might have delivered one of the standout cross-over albums of 2025, but on this EP the message is clear: Once a househead, always a househead.

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud! 

Much love, 
Heist HQ
