Dan Tanev steps onto Kitisuru with "In The Rain," a dark, groove-driven Afro house record anchored by a melody that sticks from the first listen. The track moves with purpose, balancing a heavy, hypnotic feel with enough melodic presence to keep DJs and dancefloors engaged through a full run. Tanev builds tension without overcomplicating the arrangement, letting the groove do the work while the melody surfaces and pulls the listener back in. A strong debut on the label and a track built for DJs who want darkness and musicality in the same record. Out May 22nd on Kitisuru.
Across the EP, rhythm takes the lead. Percussion is deliberate and grounding, carrying a pulse that feels both ritualistic and cinematic. Around it, DarkFace builds a world of textured synths, distant melodies and subtle vocal fragments that drift in and out like echoes of past lives. The energy is controlled, never rushed, allowing each element to reveal itself with intention. Collaboration plays a key role in expanding this universe. Each featured artist adds a distinct layer to the narrative, yet the core identity remains intact. There is a sense of movement throughout, from darker, more introspective moments into spaces that feel open, elevated and free.
House Villains return with The Journey, shaped around a steady interplay of rhythm and atmosphere, carrying a sense of forward motion that unfolds with control. The track builds from grounded, percussive foundations into a deeper, more immersive space, where textured synth work and subtle melodic layers begin to take shape around the groove. Its progression is patient, driven by gradual shifts rather than sudden moments, allowing the energy to develop with intention. At its core, the rhythm remains constant, pulling everything together while low-end movement and evolving tones create a feeling of continuity and direction. There is a balance between introspection and momentum throughout, giving the record a natural place within a set. The Journey does not rush toward a destination. It holds its pace, letting tension and release move side by side as the groove carries forward.
Geuzz lands on Visile Records with a powerful two-track EP built around groove, tension, and raw electronic energy. Opening with "Synthcussion", the release moves through hypnotic synth patterns and percussive drive, creating a tight balance between rhythm and atmosphere. The track feels direct, rolling, and club-focused, with a sound designed to build pressure without losing its musical identity. On the second cut, "Horse Power" pushes the energy further with a more physical and driving approach. Heavy movement, strong low-end presence, and a bold rhythmic structure give the track its name and character, delivering a peak-time weapon with force and attitude. Together, the two tracks show Geuzz's ability to combine percussion, groove, and electronic intensity into a release made for the dancefloor while staying true to the deep and forward-thinking direction of Visile Records.
