Kapote’s new-school house anthem gets reimagined into fresh jazz-funk disco, 1990s NYC house energy, and proto-dancefloor bangers. There’s no way a DJ with a unique, forward-thinking sound won’t find a version to play.
It’s 2025, and once again Toy Tonics is shaping the soundtrack of the “post-dark electronic age.” After a decade dominated by hard techno, dark trance, and high-speed rave sounds, the label points toward a new horizon of groove, color, and emotion.
Close Counters - the Melbourne duo - elevate Mystery into an electrifying fusion of house, soul, and jazz. 
With lush synths and irresistible energy, they’ve earned the support of tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and lit up stages from Splendour in the Grass to beyond. Vocals by GUINNY. 

Released 13.10.2025

Kapote - Mystery (Close Counters Remix Extended Version)

Since Good Vibrations Music doesn't release much on vinyl these days, the Bristol-based label's occasional compilation style EPs are a genuine must-check. McCabe naturally features prominently throughout. He begins by joining forces with Black Sonix to rework 'Rise' by the Matsiko World Orphan Choir's 'Rise', wrapping dreamy pads, twinkling piano improvisations and heady Rhodes solos around a tactile Latin house groove, before going solo and a rich and soulful rework of Missfly and David Bailey's 'Baby Don't Make Me Wait'. Over on side B, McCabe and Ellis Dee doff a cap to classic US garage on a wonderfully deep dub of 'Got It Bad', before Last Nubian steals the show with the soulful broken beat brilliance of 'Dance Together'.

THE MATSIKO WORLD ORPHAN CHOIR - RISE [BLACK SONIX & SEAN McCABE EXTENDED MIX]

Dam Swindle’s new ‘Backyard Galaxy’ EP is an ode to house music and the classic Swindle sound. 

It’s only been a few months since Dam Swindle released their highly acclaimed album “Open” and already the boys are back on Heist with a new release that takes you right back to the dancefloor. Where they’ve spent the better part of the last 3 years writing their album with all its sonic explorations and collabs, this new EP sees the duo return to their roots of club-ready house music. The ‘Backyard Galaxy’ EP comes with 4 high-energy house tracks made in their Amsterdam studio that have been road-tested all summer.

EP opener “Feel it much?” has all the ingredients of a classic Swindle heater, with warm pads, rich organic percussion and tons of soul. There’s a simple and effective vocal running throughout the track that blends nicely with the classic house elements and electronic textures that are layered throughout the track. There’s an effortless flow to this track and it comes as no surprise that it has been a highlight in their sets this summer. 

The EP title track ‘Backyard Galaxy’ is an up-tempo Latin-themed jam with a hint of old school techno.  The synth stabs hit you just right and the modulated vocal chops are a lovely boost for the build ups and add a touch of swing to a track that already has a tight  groove. Add to that a huge breakdown and drum roll and you’ve got yourself a track that’ll light up any dancefloor.

On the flip, we’re moving into garage territory with the shuffling vibes of ‘Rhythm Baby’. The current popularity of the genre is not missed on Dam Swindle, but when you look closely, you’ll see this track is full of elements that the duo have built their legacy on. The vocal chops, transposed key samples and swing are all on point and work just as well below, as above 130 bpm if speed is your thing.

The EP closes with the NY-style house cut ‘What you give’, which reminds us of Dam Swindle’s remix of Cinthie’s Heist hit ‘Won’t U take me’ with its lush organs and moody keys. It’s perhaps the most classic house track they’ve made in a long time and you can hear they had a great time recording this. It’s playful, vibey and catchy. Just the way we like it.  

Dam Swindle might have delivered one of the standout cross-over albums of 2025, but on this EP the message is clear: Once a househead, always a househead.

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud! 

Much love, 
Heist HQ

PREMIERE: Fontana - Lights [Fontana Recordings]

Following years spent contributing killer EPS to Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings, Outplay founders Fouk (AKA Daniel Leeseman and Hans Peeman) make their debut on Jimpster and Tom Roberts' Freerange Records imprint. The Dutch duo sets the tone with title track 'Get It Done', where jaunty piano stabs, warming chords, disco strings and heady vocal snippets and a chunky bassline dance atop a s chunky bassline and swinging, loose-limbed garage-house groove, before unfurling the string-drenched and emotive beauty of 'Floating'. On side B we get two takes on breezy and colourful deep house number 'Neon Flight': a fine, constantly building 'Club Mix', and the deeper and more musically expansive beauty of the 'First Light' take.

Disco Mind taps into a rich vein full of Italy's freshest electronic talents here with a glorious new EP for retro-future dancefloors. Kicking things off is Naples-based Lance, who channels proto-house ruggedness and glossy Italo disco melodies on 'Renato Superstar, which is an homage to a cult 80s film. Club Mediterraneo follows with 'Prima Cala' and provides a shimmering Balearic bliss for sunset sessions, and Sparkling Attitude makes a strong first impression with 'Au Revoir Bonsoir,' which sinks into slinky deep house grooves with a touch of filter sync madness. Leslie Lello and Luksek join forces on 'Caravan' for a sugary-sweet nu-disco finish, lovely analogue drums and a carefree attitude.
