Deep House & Tech House | Summer 2025 Open Air and Festival Season

James 'Burnski' Burnham is one of the UK's most prolific and talented house producers. Having already contributed a run of beautifully created records to the Dessous and Poker Flat catalogue, it’s time for his next elegantly crafted EP - 'Sometimes Takes Longer'

Title track 'Sometimes Takes Longer' fuses casual, classic deep house drums with a totally hypnotic synth theme, surrounded by liquid percussion, fantastic panning and filtered spacial effects and story telling elements. The track builds in the great tradition of true late night, atmosphere setting deep house.

Looking to the B side, 'There's A Culprit' swaggers along nicely with a post-chicago jack and a ballsy hook to boot. Burnksi's characteristic clean production and fine detailing set this tracky jam on fire, with its unique layered approach.

Finally the key-led house vibes of 'Watch Out' phase on to the scene. Pumping and energetic, it’s also another great story track, leading us deep into the night with powerful syncopated rhythms, heavy reverb swells and inventive moments in the arrangement.

Sublease Music proudly welcomes Vincenzo, one of the longest serving producers on the house circuit, with Assassin, a slinky, deep and rolling house cut. 

The title track builds around a snaking bassline, with sharp percussions adding the groove before lush pads add the texture to the groove.

Amiable Romanian producer and DJ  Mihai Popoviciu pops by to add his own take - more driving and functional - this is late night basement music. 

The third track is No Time To Explain - another rolling bassline and tight drum groove add the anchor for the crisp percussion and deep chords.

Darlyn Vlys & Panthera - Come With Us EP

Release Date: 7th March 2025 
Catalogue: SYNC127

Sincopat is proud to welcome home one of its most iconic artists, Darlyn Vlys, who returns alongside the exceptional talent of Panthera to deliver an EP that is a true testament to their creative synergy. This release draws from the raw essence of their musical foundations while fearlessly delving into new sonic dimensions. To complete the journey, Italian master Musumeci steps in with his signature touch, creating a remix that comes full circle.
The adventure begins with Come With Us, a track brimming with rave energy and pure power. Anchored by a deep, monstrous bassline, it's a high-octane dancefloor weapon designed to hypnotise. Layers unfold with stunning precision, each transition gliding smoothly into the next, creating an electrifying and deeply enveloping sonic adventure.
Musumeci takes Come With Us into his own territory, preserving its essence and infusing it with his raw elegance and refined craftsmanship. His impressive reworking amplifies the track's energy, adding a hypnotic depth that makes it both familiar and entirely new.
Closing the EP, Age of Heroes stands as a bridge between eras, blending echoes of the past with glimpses of the future. It's a masterclass in balance: intricate yet fluid, complex yet crystalline. Each sound serves a purpose, resulting in a track that is as expansive as it is deeply evocative, drawing you into its timeless atmosphere.

Enjoy!

Swiss-born DJ and producer Dario D’Attis continues his streak of high-caliber releases, delivering yet another standout record on Poker Flat Records. 

Known for his deep, groove-driven sound and impeccable production, D’Attis teams up with house music legend Mr. V on Back To The Old, a tribute to the golden days of US house music. Mr. V’s unmistakable vocals set the tone, celebrating the raw, jackin’ energy that defined the era, while D’Attis provides a driving, dancefloor-ready groove. 

For those who prefer the instrumental, the Underground Mix Instrumental is also included.

Adding to the release, NYC house icon Joeski - a veteran with over three decades in the scene - delivers a remix that takes Back To The Old into deep, rolling territory. A staple of underground house, Joeski has crafted a career spanning from the late '90s rave scene to modern-day dance floors. His remix leans into a hypnotic, percussive groove, keeping the retro spirit alive while injecting his signature deep and bumping style.

Steve Bug reappears on his iconic Poker Flat imprint, sharing production duties with longtime collaborator Huxley once more. 

Come On is a tight, old-skool referencing house track built around a ravey vocal sample, a classic chord progression and tight, funky drum programming. 

Clearly deeply infatuated with the early days of US house, the original is all vibe. 

UK based house producer CASSIMM contributes a remix, that leans into the old skool vibe but adds layers that are more techier and driving.  


The shimmering synth stabs and effects add a new dimension to the track - a more streamlined and minimal aesthetic.  

Come On

Steve Bug & Huxley - Come On

Originally released in 2009, this standout remix package followed the release of Steve Bug’s fourth full artist album, Collaboratory, which dropped earlier that year to widespread acclaim. The album captured Steve’s dedication to forward-thinking house music, teaming up with a stellar cast of collaborators including Gigi, Donnacha Costello, and Simon Flower.
Collaboratory Remixes Vol.1 brought fresh interpretations from Ribn, Motor City Drum Ensemble, and Sven Tasnadi, and still holds up today.

Ribn (aka Manuel Tur and Langenberg) deliver a deep, dubby, Detroit-tinged take on “Like It Should Be” featuring Gigi. Their Translucent Vox Remix builds with patience, drawing you in with a long, atmospheric intro before locking into a driving, bass-led groove that honors Gigi’s sultry vocals.

Motor City Drum Ensemble brings the heat with a raw house twist on “Still Music,” the Bug and Costello collaboration. Loaded with late 80s and early 90s drum machine attitude and bubbling keys, it’s an acid-tinged workout that still burns.
Sven Tasnadi rounds things out with a tight, tracky remix of “Passing Clouds” (Bug and Simon Flower), fusing melancholic synth lines with solid drums and a modern tech-house edge.

The ever prolific Mihai Popoviciu pops up on Sublease with three tracks of assured house music. 

The Romanian DJ and producer has built a powerful reputation for quality electronic music that spans techno to tech and deeper sounding house. Here he dives into his more grooving side with three tracks that set a distinct mood. 

What I Need brings a strong vocal together with drifty synths and tight drums to make an atmospheric, rolling cut. 

Come Out edges up the intensity slightly with firing percussion and a slinky bassline. 

Temptation sets the sights firmly on the dancefloor with a driving groove, bubbling bassline and dreamy, deep chord stabs.

Musically and emotionally, Superpitcher’s third full-length studio album, The Golden Ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill, feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus- years, emotionally. And full-length it is: The Golden Ravedays is an epic album of 24 longer than usual tracks that was released in January 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period.

The 11th edition of The Golden Ravedays album will be released on Hippie Dance in November 2017. Side A brings Brothers. With two decades of spinning experience in disco’s, nightclubs, festival arenas, shady after-party zones and intimate studio soirees there is no doubt that Superpitcher is seasoned in throwing a damn good party. Brothers is party personified and a celebration of the night and the wise owls that respect its magical rituals. Its ultra-chic disco groove and dreamy female vocals transport one to a carnival of blessings.

Side B features Sleepy Head, a hypnotic lullaby carefully tucked away in a hammock that rocks to and fro like dozing mermaids in a wavy curtain of seaweed. Sleepy Head is a smart artistic statement and whimsical pause just before the release of the grand finale of the The Golden Ravedays saga.
