have had this one for a long time, still loving it.

Dennis Cruz continues his standout run-of-form in 2021 with the release of his latest single, What U Doing. Soon-to-appear on his forthcoming album, Roots, the single is a collaboration with UK singer-songwritwer Leo Wood and includes a remix by iconic German house producer Mousse T.

“It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with Leo, she has such an amazing voice. ‘What U Doing’ is the second track we’ve done together, with this one a little more paired back and dubby, featuring rolling drums and the bright stabs. Mousse T’s remix brings a housey vibe with the rich piano melodies to offer a really cool take... I love it.” - Dennis Cruz

Two worlds come together in perfect harmony, as the five-minute number gets underway with shimmering bell chimes and Leo’s soothing vocal offerings. Dennis’ influence soon arrives, taking the form of a punchy, four-four bassline whilst echoing synths purr intermittently in the background. Mousse T ́s 'Deep Shizzle' Extended Remix brings things to a feel-good close, with upbeat piano rolls residing atop euphoric chords to create a dancefloor cut that you can’t help but smile to.

MÜSE co-founder Dennis Cruz has cemented his reputation as one of global dance music’s most-esteemed talents, picking up a plethora of awards and nominations throughout his career, including Beatport, RA, Vicious Magazine, and DJ Awards: Best Tech House 2018, Best Deep Tech 2019 and winner of Best Producer in 2017. Bristolian talent Leo Wood is swiftly becoming a leading vocalist within the scene, traversing drum and bass and tech with ease and featuring on releases by Hospitality, Shogun Audio and Defected to name a few. German house hero Mousse T created some of house’s most-lauded tracks in the late nineties to noughties, whilst in recent times his remixes of Selace, Camelphat, Moloko, Mike Dunn and Wankelmut have been met with widespread industry acclaim.

Definitive Recordings is thrilled to announce the release of “Certainly Close”, a fresh two-track EP from UK artists The S.O.S. and Simkid. Following their success with “Hot Juno” on METAPHYSICAL, this release highlights their ability to merge classic house aesthetics with a modern, soulful touch.

The S.O.S., with roots in London and East Africa, has built a career as a DJ, vocalist, and producer blending diverse house styles. From co-founding the Illustrated Minds collective to working with global brands like Tom Ford and MTV, he is a creative force uniting community-driven music with dancefloor energy. Simkid, raised in the 80s and deeply influenced by soul, funk, and the French electronic scene, is a London-based producer with releases on labels like KMS, and Peppermint Jam. Known for his elegant soundscapes and dynamic DJ sets, Simkid continues to innovate, with tracks like “Young World” still resonating on Defected Records playlists.

The title track, “Certainly Close”, pairs an old-school house bassline with jazzy Rhodes chords and alternating sung and rapped vocals repeating the phrase “you’re oh so close to me,” creating a captivating and intimate vibe. The second track, “Make You Mine,” offers a softer, deep house feel, with sweet vocal lines, lush chords, and a playful percussion break. Together, the tracks balance timeless house elements with a contemporary touch, making this EP a must-listen for fans of soulful and sophisticated house music.
