Drumheller - Dread

Following on from a ferocious start to the year with “Machete / 777”, Club Romantico steps into fine form with the labels head honchos first official solo release in almost 4 years. Florentino has been hinting at a new sound for a long while now & its clearest manifestation arrives on the 28th of April in the shape of ‘Xcuse Me / Loka”. 

Florentino brings some of the influences from his youth to the forefront here - with his father heavily involved in the Manchester acid house scene & his mother, with her own in-depth knowledge of different strands of latin dance music, also working in Manchesters club scene after first emigrating from Bogotá - the sounds of Madchester, an era gone by, echo equally alongside the sounds of early Nurican / Latin house here. 

The artist manifests these sounds in a somewhat freaked manner, mischievous & seductive in equal parts, ‘Xcuse Me’ channels runway energy with cries to push the decibel levels further & further only for the listener to be told “Tu no sabes lo que hay aqui” . On the flip, Loka wears its Latin house influence on its sleeve, running through what feels like a million vocal chops of old Nurican records - only to be destroyed through the lense of skeletal Dembow & Guaracha with a structure that feels somewhat like a club mega-mix. Both are drum workouts with a twist, confident in their execution & unruly in nature.

Florentino - Xcuse Me

Zapote

Hot off the back of his debut EP last year, Amsterdam-based ABE teams up with Vief for the London label’s fourth release of 2025.

Spanning afrotech, gqom, UK funky, Brazilian funk and much more, this four-tracker typifies everything Vief is about - championing the fresh, off-kilter sound that emanates from the pockets between strict genre boundaries. If you’re wanting some leftfield energy, look no further.
