Brighton based DJ and producer KeeQ, makes his welcome return to Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records imprint this autumn with brand-new single, ‘Sweet Little Nothing’.

Bursting onto the scene in late 2021, KeeQ is one of the underground Dance scene's brightest new prospects. His style can be described as a hybrid between House and Techno with tribal and emotive elements, with KeeQ citing Hot Since 82, Steve Lawler, Mele and Nick Curly as influences of his production style.

Since his last outing on the label, KeeQ has had a busy release schedule with outings on Circus and Marylebone Records and picking up DJ support from Danny Howard, Mark Knight, Leftwing : Kody, Gorgon City and more! ‘Sweet Little Nothing’ emanates KeeQ’s signature sound, expect organic drum grooves, crisp percussion, intoxicating synthesized melodies, hooky vocal elements and an intricate bass hook throughout, taking you straight to heart of the dancefloor.

Renowned for his ability to bring creativity and flair to his wild remixes, edits and re-edits, Riva Starr is a hugely welcome new addition into the Saved fold. Bringing a special collection of new edits, the producer displays the kind of dexterity that has made him so impossible to pigeonhole over the last decade. First up, Riva delivers a driving and energetic mashup of Roland Clark’s “Your First Time” and Paul C & Paolo Martini’s “Take Some Time.” Frenetic percussion in the top end and futuristic FXs create a party-focused pace as the dubby atmospheres and pumping beats add the power and momentum. The ghetto-funk vocal adds another dimension to make this Riva’s own personal homage to the history of house music. The raw edit of “Chasing Autumns” by Taras Van De Voorde continues that exploration further, tapping into a unique mix of classic sounding house with rich piano chords and emotive strings; and a modern, raw sounding warehouse energy that burns and stomps away underneath. Taking things into a much deeper hue, Riva with his colourful edit of Luca Morris’ “Play By Play.” Built around subtly shifting melodies, a deep, rolling bassline and tumbling drums, the track shuffles forward with bags of personality and charisma. Intoxicating and heady, this one will keep heads down whilst infiltrating the feet. Riva’s edit of Rino Cerrone & Fabio Diaz’s “Extraordinary Wiring” is a dizzying, head-spinning workout that swirls and shakes with an unsteadying disposition. Funky drums interplay with highly distorted synths and mechanical sounding basslines to create a sound that is at once playful, addictive and unstoppable.

Cali-via-Bilbao DJ and producer JOSAAN, aka Joan Sanchez, has become a familiar face on labels such as Klaphouse Records, Hotfingers, and LW Recordings over the last few years while picking up notable support from tastemakers like Mau P.

The rising talent now enters 2025 with a huge label debut for Junior Jack’s Adesso Music as he unveils the deep and driving ‘Luminous’.

Drawing for gritty drums paired with shuffling low-end, ‘Luminous’ delivers a no-nonsense, stripped-back house anthem where soulful female vox samples wash over groove-laden beats.

Dutch maestro Franky Rizardo makes his debut on Saved with a 2 Track EP. First up is “Get Some Love” which features a cleared sample of the famous “Some Lovin” by Liberty City from back in 1992. Built upon a pounding kick, swinging hats and an oscillating bass line, the vocals filter in and take the track up another level with their catchy hook and build alongside the drum rolls for an intense drop. Completing the release is “Power Flanger”, a bass heavy bomb which is drowned in modulation to great effect and commands a lot of attention.

Burgeoning DJ and producer Bontan makes his debut on the notorious Hot Creations label. Hotly anticipated, the release features two original cuts to fuel his rising profile.

UK based Bontan has been using title track The First Time as his secret weapon for the last six months and is now finally unleashing it. “I’ve been testing it and tweaking it play by play!’ he explains. ‘The vocal compliments the rolling bass melody and gives it a darker edge”. This a producer who fully understands how to create a track for a heaving dancefloor. Personal Question is the second cut and flips the mood entirely with a twisted vocal entwined in beeps and percussion, whilst stirring the sentiments of lost early hours.

A firm favourite in the underground scene, he has built a solid reputation with releases on Circus Recordings, 20/20 Vision, and Cajual among others.

Andrew Meller has been on an incredible run of form recently having smashed the Beatport charts with his remakes of classic tracks such as Faithless' 'Insomnia' and the all-time holy grail of Underworld 'Born Slippy'. His talents do not stop there though, he proves here that he is more than capable of penning some serious underground sounds as he delivers 'Godfathers Dance' and 'Honey'.

'Godfathers Dance' leads the charge here and has been a secret weapon in label boss Nic Fanciulli's sets for time now. This bubbles along really nicely with a warm and funky bass line, some lush, tribal percussion and some great horn additions that really add to that dance floor energy. 'Honey' on the flip is more menacing in it's delivery with a sinister synth pattern and a tough drum workout for those slightly tougher floors.

Played and supported by Nic Fanciulli, Technasia, Richy Ahmed, Andrea Oliva, Darius Syrossian, Mark Knight, Franky Rizardo, Chus & Ceballos, Cuartero...
