PREMIERE: Kassko - Love Is All Around [FUNKiMAN009]

Multifaceted producer duo Makèz and cross-genre rapper Pinty kick start Classic’s 2025 catalogue with ‘Loosen Your Bones’. Following an incredible year which saw Makèz release their fourth EP on Heist Recordings and dominate ADE with their infectious energy, the Dutch duo impressed Classic boss Luke Solomon as they closed out the label’s stage at Defected Malta back in October 2024. For their Classic debut the pair enlist Pinty, a poetic and introspective rapper with releases on Rhythm Section plus an acclaimed mixtape - Pinty’s House. Together the three friends present ‘Loosen Your Bones’, an addictive, high-tempo record laced with jazz influences that demonstrates a knowledge of dance music beyond their years. Also featured on this package is Luke Solomon’s Body Edit, an all-together tougher mix and secret weapon for club DJs everywhere, plus an expanded Instrumental Dub.

Makèz & Pinty - Loosen Your Bones

House music doesn’t get much funkier than Demuir’s ‘New Spirit’ EP. Whether it’s the classic sampling on the title track – an homage to his mother-, or the rolling funk bass and vocal chops on ‘Ain’t no stoppin’ ‘, Demuir brings an unstoppable groove with his 2nd release on Heist.

The man behind so many great house records has kept himself rather busy with building his own fanbase, openly debating the role that big platforms play and the firm grip they have on talent. Rather than conforming to the standard route, Demuir chooses to navigate the winding road of building his own following through his production classes, engineering and music releases through artist-first channels like Patreon.

His recent move from Toronto to Chicago feels perfectly in line with the sound Demuir is bringing forward on his first record on Heist since his 2019 classic ‘Werq, feel, gruv, vogue’. Those 6 years were well worth the wait: The ‘New Spirit’ EP  is a perfectly-balanced mix of creativity, confidence and character. The Demuir sound is instantly audible throughout the release and he’s not afraid to make bold choices. Each track has its own identity, its own place on the record and it’s one of the things that make this record stand out in the best way possible. The forward-leaning grooves, the tight mixing and the classic use of soulful samples are a treat to listen and dance to. There’s hints of the 90s New York sound (New Spirit), soulful disco-tinged grooves his new home-town is known for (Ain’t no stoppin’), lean-back and summery melodic grooves (No minions allowed) and deep, bassheavy dubby grooves (Whatchu want is all I got) to remind everyone that Demuir is an absolute master of modern day house music.

We’ve been playing all these songs for a while and we’re happy to finally share these with you.   

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

Pavilac follows with “Fog,” a contagious groove with an optimistic message and striking bassline. The track reinforces the artist’s already solid musical identity: a mix of melody and euphoria that celebrates the present while drawing from the classics. A modern house music manifesto with a distinctly Brazilian flair.

This was released in 1995 and became a worldwide big room cub anthem. I did this in my bedroom. This track influenced the whole drum roll break inferno... I originally only did this track as a joke to play at my own DJ sets. I even put in the cheering crowd. I then released it on my own label Liquid Groove in NYC after everybody demanded it! Apparently Junior Vasquez would play this at Club Twilo for 20 minutes straight. I was never there...
