Trapped (Extended Club Mix)

Hotswing is one of our favourite producers. The young Italian DJ is brilliant at sample manipulation, and, in his best form, his loopy bass grooves create dancefloor mayhem. His "Work It" cut on Earth & Days' There Was Jack imprint gives instant floor-filling love to any club. His most significant streaming success is the hooky-as-hell "Body Movin'" on GU from 2022. We would release more of his tunes if we could, but his love of a cheeky sample makes it almost impossible legally! The story of this record is a classic dance music "happy accident". Kevin McKay had been working on a version of Trapped, having loved the 2020 Carlo Lio edit and wanting to make a version he could play peak time. Alex (Hotswing) sent a track for Kevin to collaborate on, and they just so happened to be on the same key. It was a stroke of genius from Kevin to mix the two, and now we have an incredible reinterpretation of one of house music's most endearing songs. So, if you ever wanted to know what a legendary house vocal like "Trapped" would sound like over a pumping, feel-good groove, check this one out!

Kevin McKay, Hotswing - Trapped (Extended Mix)

Trapped (Extended Mix)

We released Kevin McKay & Hotswing's "Club Mix" of Trapped in May. That pumping, feel-good mix hit the spot with tastemakers like John Morales, Erik Hagleton, Stacey Pullen, and K-Klass. Kevin's first take, however, was a deeper version, and with the sun out and Ibiza in full swing, now is the perfect time to release it. Lush disco percussion, smooth sub-bass and those delicious chords make the groove while J & The Rest's vocal struts majestically on top—a peach.

Glasgow Underground was set up in 1997 by Kevin McKay. He began the label releasing his own music and collaborations with friends and other Glasgow-based artists (Omid 16b, Studio Blue, DJ Q, Harri). Through his DJing and work for various music magazines (Muzik, Jockey Slut, Mixmag Update) he met some of his favourite producers of the time (Romanthony, Mateo & Matos, Idjut Boys...) and convinced some of them to join him releasing on GU. In the early 2000s, Kevin met Mylo and set up the Breastfed record label. The global success of "Destroy Rock & Roll" meant Glasgow Underground was put on hold. After leaving the Breastfed label in 2011, Kevin re-started Glasgow Underground and since then the label has gone on to re-invigorate Romanthony's catalogue with remixes from the likes of Dixon, MCDE, Gerd, Andres, Oliver Dollar, Ejeca, Audiojack, Claptone, Christian Nielsen, Supernova, Jimmy Edgar and Waifs & Strays. The label has also introduced producers like Daniel Trim, Brett Gould, Mia Dora and Illyus & Barrientos as well has releasing established & rising stars such as Metodi Hristov, Stefano Ritteri and Sabb.
