PREMIERE: Tree Threes - Love You Forever [Soul Quest]

Two years on from his standout ‘Jet Fulled Geltato’ EP, Toronto-based producer Vincent Caira makes his highly anticipated return to Robsoul Recordings. This time, he’s swapped out the sweetness for something far rawer, delivering three straight-up, 90’s-fuelled house cuts on his brand-new release, ‘To The Floor’.
Driven by dusty drum grooves, rolling funk basslines and disco-tinged loops, Caira’s latest offering is a love letter to the golden era of house while keeping his signature modern punch intact. Each track is stripped back, unpretentious and laser-focused on one thing: working the dancefloor.
‘To The Floor’ sees Vincent Caira channeling the timeless Robsoul ethos while cementing his own place in the label’s storied catalogue. Expect nothing less than dancefloor heat.

Since Good Vibrations Music doesn't release much on vinyl these days, the Bristol-based label's occasional compilation style EPs are a genuine must-check. McCabe naturally features prominently throughout. He begins by joining forces with Black Sonix to rework 'Rise' by the Matsiko World Orphan Choir's 'Rise', wrapping dreamy pads, twinkling piano improvisations and heady Rhodes solos around a tactile Latin house groove, before going solo and a rich and soulful rework of Missfly and David Bailey's 'Baby Don't Make Me Wait'. Over on side B, McCabe and Ellis Dee doff a cap to classic US garage on a wonderfully deep dub of 'Got It Bad', before Last Nubian steals the show with the soulful broken beat brilliance of 'Dance Together'.

Canadian selectors The Patchouli Brothers are back for their 3rd instalment of edit heat on Razor-N-Tape. The duo truly never misses with their deep digs and careful retouches, and this record once again delivers the goods from the mid-tempo gospel synth boogie groove of The Spirit, the burning uptempo disco fire of C U Move, the wide-smiling party hook of Teddy’s Highlife, and soulful machine-funk of Do Ya Wanna. 4 killers, no filler, straight to the bag!

PREMIERE: Jon Billick - If Everything

Longtime house purveyors Natural Rhythm make their debut on Robsoul Recordings with a three-track statement: the ‘Mighty Minotaur’ EP. Featuring the heavyweight title cut, the disco-tipped ‘Yo Disco’, and its stripped-down counterpart ‘Yo Drums’, the release marks a powerful reunion for the duo.
The spark came from a single piece of gear: the Moog Minotaur synthesizer, which provided the EP’s rumbling bassline and its namesake. As the duo describe it, “we loved the way that analog Moog sound comes into the mix so much, we visualized a mythical (and mighty) minotaur bursting out of the woods – and it felt right.”
Equally important is the spirit of reconnection. Though now separated by distance – one member based in Southern California, the other living further north in Canada – the pair leaned on technology to re-establish their creative partnership. The result is a project that nods to their earliest days: looping grooves, hands-on effects manipulation, analog filters, echoes, and that unmistakable warmth achieved by recording straight through a valve DJ mixer.
In true Natural Rhythm fashion, the EP captures the loose, groovy energy of their legendary live sets, when the duo would haul an entire studio rig onto the stage to create house music in real time. That raw and spontaneous ethos aligns perfectly with Robsoul’s own heritage, making ‘Mighty Minotaur’ both a fitting debut and a triumphant homecoming to their roots.

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, 
Heist HQ

Amy Becker's undoubtedly one of the most exciting DJs working in the UK today. Annoyingly for the rest of us who putz about on the Pioneers, she's one of those selectors who seems to be able to play pretty much anything and everything. 

Which is why we were so excited when we heard that Becker was heading up a brand new remix collection, featuring the likes of Kamixlo, Sir Spryo, and Logos. The RMX EP's a rough and ready blast of refixes that are guaranteed that take the roof off club after club up and down the country all summer long.

We asked Amy if we could premier the Deamonds remix of DJ Haus' classic "Hot in Dis MF" and she duly obliged. We love this record and we're pretty sure you will too.

“I just do what comes , i don’t limit myself when i’m in front of the mpc, just put the power on and fiddle shit with it.”

The words of Lyon based artist and new Robsoul Jazz signing LB aka LABAT, a producer on the rise and a young man who’s already caught the ear of MCDE. With a devotion to jazz and hip-hop it's no surprise that both genres heavily influence his own work, but House music? Well, that’s more a means to an end. 

“First and foremost I love to DJ. I’ve discovered how much I love that feeling of sharing my music and whats the point of a live show if it doesn’t  make your hips shake? Thats why I produce house music.”

2014 was the breakthrough year, when his track ‘More Kindyness’ was included on the ‘Le Sampler Des Copains’ vinyl release on Face Records. Since then his soulful, groove-heavy productions have impressed and lead to the current 2016 pinnacle of ‘Disques Solaires’, his debut album release on Groovedge Records. 

A new chapter now opens with his debut Robsoul release. An impressive five track selection that sashays through styles and sound to present a perfect picture of LB aka LABAT. House, Soul and Hip-Hop feed our soundtrack, powered by a sublime sample selection. Swing Ghetto Vol.1 … Enjoy!
