With "The Thrill", Berlin-based producer Jonaku delivers a four-track EP that sits right at the intersection of minimal, house, and tech-house. Rooted in the raw energy of Berlin's underground, the release showcases his signature approach: tight percussive grooves, subtle rhythmic shifts, and a hypnotic sense of flow designed for late-night dancefloors. The title track "The Thrill (Original Mix)" sets the tone with a driving yet restrained groove, built around crisp drums and an infectious low-end that unfolds with precision. It's a track that captures tension and release in its purest form—functional, but deeply engaging. On remix duties, Juli Lee (Klaus:elle, Zürich) injects her distinct blend of house and techno into "The Thrill", adding a groovier, more melodic touch while maintaining the original's hypnotic core. Her version expands the track's emotional spectrum and brings a vibrant, dancefloor-focused energy. On the B-side, "Of The Night (Original Mix)" explores a slightly deeper and more atmospheric territory. Subtle textures and rolling percussion create a late-night mood that feels both introspective and propulsive. Ray Shindi closes the EP with a remix that bridges minimal house aesthetics with deeper, dub-influenced elements. Drawing from his Nairobi roots and Malmö-based perspective, his rework of "Of The Night" adds warmth, space, and a fluid groove, turning the track into an immersive journey. With releases on labels like DirtyHands, GGCR, and Zapped Records, as well as regular appearances at renowned venues such as Kater Blau, Golden Gate, and Renate, Jonaku continues to establish himself as a distinctive voice within the underground circuit. "The Thrill" is a versatile EP that moves effortlessly between peak-time functionality and after-hours depth—crafted for selectors who value groove, subtlety, and atmosphere in equal measure.
