PREMIERE: MEMPHIS GLASS - FOREVER LOST

Antwerp-based duo Bobby & Djenko joins forces with hometown label Flipsight for their debut vinyl release. The Funky Dancer EP features four dancefloor-ready tunes full of character and percussion.  The cover track ‘Funky Dancer’ is a vocal-led opener laced with crisp bongos and classic house stabs. A seductive groover ‘Get high’ takes the other piece of the A-side with a bouncy bassline and confident club mood. A French house-inspired ‘Impala’ kicks off the flipsight. This belter is a constantly evolving phenomena including all types of elements with no dull moments. Closing off with a tribal flair, "Perc Talk" is a percussion-driven house jam with hints of jungle flavor – rough, raw, and ready to rumble.

PREMIERE: Bobby & Djenko - Funky Dancer

“Mira Como Bailo” marks the label's debut with a collab between label-head Matt FX and Mexico City super-producer Dan Solo. A jubilant, 303-laced groover, it urges the crowd to take notice: 'watch me dance, see what I got!' Equal parts floor-filler and meta statement, it’s a bold first step for the newly minted label.

PREMIERE: DJ Honesty - Follow That Emotion [Quality Vibe Records]

Across a string of well received records on Seth Troxlers Play It Say It, 20/20 Vision and Moan Recordings, The Mekanism has honed a refreshingly uninhibited sound - one that pops with joyful expression and works to serve the sort of free-flowing parties he regularly plays across the US and Mexico. Here, he delivers his trademark sound with Do The Disco - a rapturous cut that features percussion from Grammy Award-winning percussionist Jorge Bezerra and an alt sax replaying of Do It At The Disco by Garys Gang by Tom Barford with a gracious nod from Nervous and Uni Disc. The taught skins of Bezerras drums rattle out of the blocks and get things off to an electrifying start. Pattered into dexterous of polyrhythms, they carry that certain energy that drives a marrow-deep motivation to move while a straight 4/4 kick maintains a solid boom throughout. Jorge Bezerra is a Grammy Award-winning Musician and Percussionist who has worked alongside many great artists throughout his career, notably on Ludovic Navarres St Germain project, on stage with the wonderful Melody Gardot and as an integral member of the Joe Zawinul Syndicate that allowed him to share the stage with other greats, such as Herbie Hancock, Bebel Gilberto, Hitonari Tsuji, Cheick Tidiane and Bobby McFerrin. Barfords sax is steadily filtered in while a bossy bass line walks up and down and the mood begins to bubble. Drums, sax and bass take turns to grab centre stage and the resultant vibe is feverish, balmy and jammed full of fun.

D Stone debuts on Heist Recordings with a record that shows us why he’s one of the hottest talents in house music right now

Chloe Caillet is in on it. Cinthie is in on it. SG lewis and Demi Riquísimo are in on it too. So are Folamour, Barry Can’t Swim and, of course, Dam Swindle. In on what exactly?

In on the fact that D Stone might be the most exciting young producer and DJ you will find in the house scene right now. Oh, and he’s also a great guy who says Heist was his dream label to release on. When we found out we were fans of on each other, it was only logical that we signed his ‘Time Selection’ EP; A 5-track record that shows us how cool and catchy underground house music can be if it’s done well.

D Stone, born Daan Steenhuizen has had a meteoric rise in the scene in the past years and has only just finished his study at the Conservatory, where Lars was one of his mentors. His vinyl debut was on Cecille in 2023 with that absolute anthem ‘Total unison’. He then released on Cinthie’s 803 Crystal Grooves in 2024 and has a busy 2025 with releases on Chloe Caillet’s label Smiile, Semi Delicious, a release planned for Barry Can’t Swim’s fresh label ‘Earth’s only paradise’ and now, Heist. He’s been touring relentlessly in between, already playing legendary places like Ibiza’s Pikes, Amsterdam’s Shelter and with big shows planned at Warehouse project and in Australia, you can just feel all the right things happening for him.

The ’Time Selection’ EP kicks off with ‘Yes I Am’, an upbeat house track with plenty of hints of the old school, playful vocal chops and above all, some lovely piano work. It’s stripped back, but full of energy, with driving 909 percussion, retro flutes and a rolling bass line. It’s as much a pallet cleanser in a set as it is a teasing mid-set highlight.

‘Move Over’ features the vocals of ELY and sees D Stone dive deeper into vintage house territory, with a classic bassline and percussion that stays true to the core of the classic drum machines, hinting as much towards the electro-pop sound of New Order and the futurism of early Mr. Fingers releases. The vocal is daring and cute at the same time, and does a great job tapping into the nostalgia of the pop-house cross-over songs of the early 90s.

'Time Selection' is arguably the heaviest cut of the record, much in style of his breakthrough track ‘Total Unison’. This track is built around a strong piano theme, supported by driving 909 drums, strings and cleverly placed disco bleeps to keep the track accessible and uplifting. Add to that a big breakdown, and you’ll understand why we’ve been reaching for this track peak set for the past months.

On the flip, we’ve got ‘One Thing’, a subtle and introverted track built around a bumpy disco bassline with a hook that’s silly on first listen but will end up being the one thing you’ll keep humming for the rest of the day. In short, it’s a banger in disguise.

The last track of the EP is ‘Everything from the Organ’, a track where D Stone is not afraid to show his love for throwback ravey elements. There’s organ licks, horns and chopped vocals that propel you straight to the front-left of whichever dancefloor D Stone is reigning at that moment.

Don’t sleep on the Heist debut of one of Amsterdam’s biggest talents, cause this one will go like hot cakes! As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!
