/in /by

Born and bred in the Welsh city of Swansea, the now London-based brother duo Trutopia (aka Ashleigh and Kristian) are taking the house scene by storm. Bringing their own take on creating classic house music combined with their own elements, it’s no surprise that they’ve been internationally recognized as being a serious house duo within the scene. From consistently releasing labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Nervous Records, and many more, as well as gaining support from the likes of Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, and amassing over 2 million streams on Spotify, the duo shows no sign of slowing down.

As residents of Ibiza Rocks, Trutopia have been shaking up the dancefloors in Ibiza, the UK, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Amsterdam with their top selections and infectious stage presence. Notably, they live by their motto of “keep it moving” — and, that is exactly what you can expect them to be doing in the foreseeable future.

/in /by

U.K. duo Versus (aka Dave Skehan and Scott Walker) are blazing a trail through the British club scene and beyond as they have already clocked up releases on world-class labels such as Ultra, Repopulate Mars, Under No Illusion, SOLA, and Realm. Rooted in classic house and rave culture, Versus’ sounds are filled with tracks that range from hypnotic and warehouse.

As of recent, the duo has made their Marylebone Records debut with their single Ain’t No Stopping — a floor-filling, upfront house record with vocals from Ola and a remix backed up by Phonix. The single is a party-starting house cut of the very highest order; with crisp percussion, thunderous low-end, and an uplifting vocal courtesy of Ola. On the remix, Phonix takes things deeper with a syncopated synth line and progressive vibes that provide a subtle and different take on the original.

/in , /by

This week’s Guest Mix artists, Polish production legends Catz ’n Dogz, have been been on a journey to Club Sweat with a plan to drop a double A-side ready to set the rave-craving animals out of their cage, releasing “Rendezvous / Nasty.”

The duo have creatively crafted a double A-side oozing floor-to-floor elixir, to skillfully entice underground cavern connoisseurs. As those punters find their way to their dancefloor destination they are met with the aptly named “Rendezvous” a tech-house heater that couples deep stomping kick drums, with underlying techno textures for an insatiable groove that is augmented by the deep yet sensual melodies of R&B vocalist Raymoane. The pace is turned up a notch on the flip-side, with stank-face-inducing textures apropos for the title of “Nasty” a tune that layers the hypnotic and conspicuous vocals of Kiddy Smile over a bounce-loaded bassline with underlying rhythmic drums and sirens to evoke a bustling party atmosphere.
