Control (Gorge & Nick Curly Remix)

It’s been a minute since we’ve had our head of A&R, Sam Dexter, on the label. 2022 was the last time we had some Dexter deepness to fill up our USB. However, just listening to this sumptuous slice of underground groove, we all agree that “Just A Dream” is worth the wait! Loopy, skippy drums lead the way before wondrously hypnotic keys and a slow-burning bottom end take the groove into overdrive. Next is Dexter’s own vocal (pitched up, to sound female, like Breach did in “Jack”) tells us it was “All just a dream, just a dream” before a delicious horn solo tops the lot. Like a 90s MAW transported to 2025, this is pure jazzy house brilliance.

Rekids’ REK’D oﬀshoot drop ‘Make A Wish’ this May, the latest single from French artists Boogie Vice and N-You-Up. ‘Make A Wish’ is an energetic cut made for sunny weather, bringing infectious energy and featuring a debut, freestyle vocal from Congolese DJ and pianist Trulybles, who also plays the church organ coming in at the halfway mark, and whose voice shines in both the original and the jacking, club-ready ‘Kinky’ mix.

“The original mix is sunny and has some of the influences of Trulybles' church music as he played the organ on it. The Kinky mix is a bit darker, to be played later in the night.”— Boogie Vice & N-You-Up

“I was just being my usual self, chatting and joking around with Boogie and Nick. Music wasn't even on my mind at that moment. Boogie and Nick invited me to hop in the booth and join their session. I didn't think much of it, but I decided to go with the flow. Once I was in the booth, I just let my personality shine through. I was being my crazy self, and the energy was infectious.”— Trulybles

Boogie Vice is a Paris-born, Cape Town-based DJ and producer known for his groovy house and disco-infused sound, with releases on Ed Banger, Circa99, and CUFF. N-You-Up hails from Southern France, blending jazz, funk, and disco on labels like Nervous Records and Get Physical, while Trulybles is a jazz-trained musician whose hybrid sets fuse live piano and DJing, making his debut vocal appearance on Boogie Vice & N-You-Up’s ‘Make A Wish’ for REK’D.

Matt Edwards launched REK’D in October 2024 to release no-nonsense House music without the limitations of parent label Rekids. It has released dancefloor-ready EPs from artists such as St. David, Odee X, James Juke, James Curd, and more.

Boogie Vice, N-You-Up feat. Trulybles - Make A Wish

“Walk on By” was written by the legendary songwriting duo of Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick. Dionne’s 1964 version stands up as probably the best version to date, despite having some big hitters recording covers (Isaac Hayes, The Stranglers, Gloria Gaynor). We have a soft spot for the Gabrielle version in the GU office, but, really, Dionne nailed it. When it comes to samples, however, the Isaac Hayes version smashes Dionne out the park with over 100 artists sampling his version, although you could argue that Doja Cat’s 2023 lift of Dionne (“Paint The Town Red”) and its 1B+ streams trumps all of that. The point of all this? Well, nothing more than to show the song is an evergreen staple for artists and producers for the last 50 years. Adding to this now we have Italian producers Skylin3 and Simon Adams who put a deep house spin on the classic melody. Disco beats and a loopy bassline form the groove, add in some delicious chords and that iconic topline, and you have the kind of super-playable deep house that will entertain from poolside to the club. Tasty.

After the success of last years big charting (Traxsource Tech #1, Beatport Afro House Top 20) and Marco Carola approved hit “Midnight Ritual”, The Deepshakerz and Xander Pratt are back with another explosive Afro banger. “Light up the fire, send out the warriors” Xander chants before The Deepshakerz thunderous afro-tech groove slams home. Add in some killer percussion loops and fills and what you have here is an absolute bomb.

The Source feat. Candi Staton’s “You Got The Love” is one of the evergreen songs of club culture. Since DJ Erin put the a cappella from The Source & Candi Staton’s funk/disco version over Frankie Knuckles’ “Your Love” in 1989, the opening lines of the song have been like an all-powerful magnet to the dancefloor. Despite there being many versions, Kevin McKay couldn’t find one that fitted his sets for today and so made an edit, and then asked the wonderfully talented Elliotte Williams-N’Dure to vocal it for him. This slow-burning deep house rendition of the classic is the result and, for us, it’s on repeat. A beautiful banger!
