“The track’s journey began with a collaboration with BoweD, a supremely talented Brazilian artist. He sent me around ten demos, but this particular one immediately caught my attention. I played around with the stems he sent, enhancing the sound design of the main lead, revamping the kick, and layering in new drum patterns. Additionally, I incorporated unique vocal edits that vary rhythmically throughout the track, rounding it out with a thorough mix and master. Despite its unconventional sound making it challenging to find a label, Zero Cool, led by the renowned DJ MOTI, saw its potential and picked it up. The track has received fantastic reactions, getting playtime from Don Diablo and a spot on Alok’s official Spotify playlist.

Following her tours with Seven Lions and three performances at EDC Las Vegas in 2023, becoming a voting member of the Recording Academy and securing a spot on 1001Tracklists’ Top 101 “Future of Dance” Producers for 2023, Bexxie releases ‘Gotta Be Real’ on Insomniac’s IN/ ROTATION, a reminder that authenticity will shine through. The disco vocals speak to you like your best friend making perfect sense and tied with the big room energy, Bexxie makes this house record essential to experience.

His journey from early beginnings in Puerto Rico to international success includes chart-topping hits and critical acclaim, notably with his sophomore album, ‘Timelezz,’ reaching number two on the Top Latin Albums chart and most of us are familiar with his single ‘Holanda’ that Mexico’s Lil Tato racks over to the house music world for a top-notch latin house remix, available as a free download on his SoundCloud.

Lil Tato is becoming essential for his ability to craft latin music with minimalism yet potency that attracts pure house heads and reggaeton weekend warriors uniting the dancefloors worldwide. The next essential from Lil Tato is coming in August, a track called ‘Dimelo’ on Bante and Softpaw’s Against Everything label on the first days of August, where Tato will be “bringing out some bongo sounds and reggaetón vocals.”

LEFTI – “I’m On Fire”

LEFTI, the project of producer Alex Suarez, releases ‘I’m On Fire’, a single which deeply embraces the essence of warehouse-party culture while building in a hybrid concept within the sound.

‘I’m On Fire’ captures the energy of a peak hour warehouse rager, combining analog acid elements with a robust tech house foundation. LEFTI’s sophisticated and edgy approach involved chopping up an acapella to create new phrases, then hiring a vocalist to re-record these parts, resulting in a dynamic and urgent vocal line. On top of this, he infused elements of acid house and harmoniously wove it with the structure of a tech house single fit for the club – the result is refreshing, time-testing, and generates an all-around house heater.
