Groove To This

Groove To This (Miguel Migs Retro Club Dub)

Some grooves never let you go. For Phil Fuldner, the bassline from El Coco’s 1987 Afrodesia has been following him around for nearly three decades. You might have already heard the original, but this special 12" mix is something only the deepest diggers know - and thanks to his friend Dan Dinsing, Phil finally got his hands on it again.
A first sketch came together fast and got a bigger reaction than expected, but the road from idea to release took three years - mostly to make that all-important sample clearance a reality. Mousse T. was the very first to hear it (in a super-early state) and kept encouraging Phil to finish the job, throwing in the occasional gentle kick to keep it on track.
Now Afrodesia is here at last - a sun-soaked, disco-powered floorfiller that blends nostalgia with fresh energy. Long build-up, quick delivery… and absolutely worth the wait.

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,

Feel it much?

The ever-reliable FCL aka Belgian house heroes San Soda and Red D are back on the block with this remastered remix package of ‘Can We Try’.

It’s a soul-drenched dancefloor meditation that taps into the timeless tension of love and longing.  With its raw vocal hooks (courtesy of Lady Linn), analog warmth, and stripped-down groove, the original cut is pure FCL: emotionally rich, effortlessly deep, and aimed straight at discerning dance floors.

Bringing fresh heat to the 2014 original, three heavyweights of house and techno step in for remix duties—each reworking the track in their own signature style. First up, Jimpster injects his trademark deep, jazzy finesse, flipping ‘Can We Try’ into a swirling, soulful roller—lush pads, Moog flourishes, and enough swing to keep bodies moving and hearts locked in.

Ben Hixon, the Dallas-based underground wizard, lays down a chunky, hardware-heavy rework full of crunchy drums and woozy funk.  It's lo-fi soul with hi-fi intent. Deetron closes it out with a peak-time bomb—big room pressure, hypnotic bass, intense stabs and the kind of tension-release dynamics that only a true craftsman can deliver.

‘Can We Try’ is a reminder that dance music doesn’t’t need to shout to speak volumes. With this return, FCL prove that their music can truly stand the test of time, sounding as fresh today as when it first dropped over a decade ago.  Lovingly remastered by the man with the golden ears Atjazz!

Riva Starr burst into the electronic music scene in 2009 with a refreshing take on Latin house for some of the most respected underground dance labels like Get Physical, Dirtybird and Made to Play. A prolific producer and internationally in-demand club DJ, Riva swiftly proceeded to confound his fledgling fan base with Balkan beat behemoth “I Was Drunk” which has since amassed well over 8 million views on YouTube.

After further time spent in collaborations with dance music godfathers such as Fatboy Slim, DJ Sneak and Beardyman, and trickling out exotic edits and tracks to a now sizeable following (with nigh 50k followers on Soundcloud), Riva now reveals a new and exciting facet of his musical personality with alt-pop infused sophomore album ‘Hand In Hand’, featuring chief partner-in-crime Rsslll (previously lead singer of indie darlings The Research) plus a stellar cast of guest appearances from Horace Andy, Roots Manuva, DJ Sneak, Speech Debelle, Bob Andy and others.

Riva’s restless straddling of genres, tempos and geographical inspirations have proven to have wide ranging appeal, from unknown alternative European radio shows to Ibiza mega clubs, from bedrooms the world over to festival main-stages. And indeed, ‘Hand in Hand’ runs a broad and colourful gamut with infectiously playful irreverence, hopping elegantly between styles while offering a refreshing and uniquely personal take on classic sounds and genres. A lush, big-beat string-laden pop gem (‘Kill Me’), surf and San Remo basking noir house (‘Absence’, ‘Si e’ Spentoll Sole’), bouncy gospel-funk (‘Upside Down’), ghostly and hypnotic dub (‘In The Morning’), earworm island groove (‘The Care Song’), manic-depressive, bittersweet sing-alongs (‘Nobody’s Fool’, ‘Detox’), all have their respective place in the kaleidoscopic and adventurous musical palate of ‘Hand In Hand’.

In an era that favours well-formatted niches and strict categorization over the pure and unmediated joy of music, Riva is an adamant subscriber to the undisciplined maverick approach, proving in the process that some artists are still willing to take a risk.

A Bricklane based musical exile with a degree in Chinese literature?; a passionate family guy who manages to juggle a DJ schedule of over 200 gigs a year, a label, remix and production duties? How is it possible to pigeonhole a man who never sits still?
