New on Sublease is label boss Steve Bug teaming up with Hervé Solar, an emerging talent from Geneva whose debut was featured on Poker Flat’s Under One Roof series previously. 

The two artists first crossed paths at the Mixmasters retreat in Ibiza, where Hervé participated as a student under the guidance of Steve Bug. Impressed by Hervé's material, Steve Bug saw potential for collaboration. Upon returning to Geneva, Hervé sent Steve a few unfinished tracks, sparking the idea for a joint EP. The creative process involved each artist sending a track for the other to complete, with Steve Bug adding the final touches in his Berlin studio.

No Faith, No Dreams highlights a slinky, sexy sound that will instanty win over other DJs and crowds, and is also shared here via a remix courtesy of Jürgen Kirsch. His rework is a little tougher, stripping the sound down to its essentials before bringing up the energy with a dubby bassline and intricate percussion. 

Swamp Frog is the 3rd track of the release, a grooving bassline providing the anchor for the rhythm and detuned chords that lend the whole thing a wonky, loose feel for the heads.

As the year draws to a close, Expmental Records proudly presents the final installment of Mental Picks for 2024. Volume 46 showcases three meticulously curated tracks to end the year on a high note.

Kicking off the release is a groovy Deep Tech track by our very own Frink, designed to ignite the dancefloor and captivate the followers of this talented Spanish artist. Following this, Guido Nemola makes a triumphant return to Expmental family, this time to the main label, with a minimalistic journey that highlights the Italian maestro's exceptional skills in crafting immersive soundscapes.

Rounding out the collection is the inaugural collaboration between label boss Eddy Romero and Miami-based artist Richard Rozen. This track exemplifies the harmonious fusion of diverse influences, illustrating how two distinct musical worlds can blend seamlessly together.

With this release, we conclude our Mental Picks series for the year, leaving listeners eagerly anticipating what's to come in 2025!

Unfussy brings a more heads down approach, with bubbling bass and propulsive rhythm section creating the mood.

Danny B bursts back onto Sublease Music with a three tracker of bright, swinging house music for the summer ahead. 

Don’t Look Back is a deep bomb, with classic pads / chords interacting with a rolling bassline and sharp percussion and 808 fills. 

Sunshine keeps the vibe, an atmospheric burner that uses a minimalist structure to provide space for the groove to develop and flourish. 

Rust is in the same vein, showcasing the Madrid natives mastery of sound design and arrangement.

House don Markus Homm drops a three tracker on Sublease, following up from his 2023 appearance on Steve Bug’s label for the deeper side of house.  

Homm adds to his considerable back catalogue with Hey You, showcasing his deep skills for creating atmospheric house music.  

The title track is a deep roller full of signature elements, grooving drum programming, cut up, soulful vocals, atmospheric pads and a thick, present bass.   

Rhythmic Journey is up next, lifting the energy to more insistent pace, but keeping things to minimum to allow the track to create its own space.   

Six closes out this release - a fully dubbed out take on house which allows the sub bass to dominate on top of an irresistible groove.

Deeplomatik is the deep house-focussed alias of Warsaw based DJ and producer Seb Skalski. 

Seb has been known on the house circuit under numerous aliases for the past 20 years with releases on the likes of Nervous NYC, Salted Music, King Street and many more. 

Here on Sublease, he fully inhabits his Deeplomatik persona, with two cuts of premium deep house. 

In The Night is a vibey burner, mixing chord stabs with tight drum programming and thick, funky low end basslines. 

Dreams brings a more urgent energy with similar elements, but adds some dubby vocal elements and a tougher groove.

The ever prolific Mihai Popoviciu pops up on Sublease with three tracks of assured house music. 

The Romanian DJ and producer has built a powerful reputation for quality electronic music that spans techno to tech and deeper sounding house. Here he dives into his more grooving side with three tracks that set a distinct mood. 

What I Need brings a strong vocal together with drifty synths and tight drums to make an atmospheric, rolling cut. 

Come Out edges up the intensity slightly with firing percussion and a slinky bassline. 

Temptation sets the sights firmly on the dancefloor with a driving groove, bubbling bassline and dreamy, deep chord stabs.
