‘Letter To Manuel’ opens the release, offering up a bright and vibrant groove form the intro.

NYLOVE proudly presents NYL016: Underground Resistance EP by Portugal's own Mike Kings.

A passionate veteran of the underground house music scene, Mike returns with an inspired collection of tracks after an eight-year break, carrying forward his dedication to the timeless sounds that have defined his two-decade journey in electronic music.

Mike's EP unfolds with two compelling tracks that showcase his mastery of the groove loaded, bottom heavy, rhythmic house and his dedication to the timeless soundscapes of the underground:

Underground Resistance brings a captivating, 'Peace Division-esque' production, layered with a gritty, urban flair. A street-style NY hip-hop vocal rides over a profound tribal groove, making it a powerful opener that draws listeners into the core of Mike's unique sound.

Second track “Tale of Hope”, maintaining the EP's distinct rhythmic vibe while easing into a subtler, more hypnotic groove. This track balances the intense energy of the first with its warmer melodic tone, providing a journey that resonates with decompression.

With Underground Resistance EP, Mike Kings reaffirms his devotion to the underground music scene, honoring a legacy that will, as he says, "live forever."

Fresh off the back of his acclaimed Underground Resistance EP, which found support by the likes of Danny Tenaglia, DJ Chus, DJ Vibe, Victor Calderone, and John Creamer to name but a few, Portugals Mike Kings returns to NYLOVE with Gotta Believe In Who I Am EP, a two-tracker that cements his place in the ever-shifting language of the underground. Kicking things off is Gotta Believe, a high-octane slice of New York-style vocal house thats tailor-made for peak-time action. Anchored by a tough, rolling tribal groove and laced with a bold, defiant vocal, the track channels the energy of early 2000s Twilo and Sound Factory floors. Its big, its brash, and it bleeds confidence. Mike Kings taps into that classic-meets-street tension and twists it into something modern. Flip over for Who I Am, a deeper 10 minute journey that simmers with low-end pressure and rhythmic swagger. This ones all about the after-hours; hypnotic drums, ghostly vocal chops, and a head-nodding pulse that creeps under the skin, especially when the piano and pads knock at your door. Its restrained, moody, and purpose-built for late-night sets when the lights are low and the connection is purely physical.

NYLove continues its steady streak of quality output with release number 18, bringing back Mike Kings and his standout single "Underground Resistance." Previously released to strong support, the track returns with fresh firepower and a brand-new remix.

The original remains a dark, driving affair, soaked in New Yok club grit, powered by a rolling low end, and wrapped in tightly wound rhythm. It's a peak-time statement piece that proudly carries the underground spirit in its DNA.

On remix duty, label boss John Creamer teams up with studio partner FALFAN to deliver a deeper, hypnotic reimagining. John Creamer & FALFAN stretch the tension across a brooding groove, layering atmospheric textures and trippy vox treatments that transform the cut into a late-night weapon.
