Drekker links up with house legend Todd Terry for Kisss, a no-nonsense 125 BPM G-house banger built for peak-time damage. Punchy drums, gritty bass pressure, and a raw, street-level groove drive this track straight into the clubs red zone.

Perfect for dark rooms, sweaty dancefloors, and after-hours sets.

Lady Of The House Brazilian ambassador and underground standout CAMZ delivers Brazilian Love, a deep tech/tech house crossover release landing one week before Rio Carnival. Following the success of her Lady Of The House release, Brazilian Tea, championed by Marco Carola, Jamie Jones & Nic Fancuilli, amassing close to 100,000 streams and maintaining a peak position on Spotify's UK House editorial for three months, continues to build momentum as one of Brazil's most exciting exports in contemporary club music. The release forms part of Lady Of The House's ongoing commitment to uplifting women across Brazil's dance music scene and amplifying their presence on global dance floors. Brazilian Love is built around a minimal yet seductive groove, positioned between deep tech and tech house. A hypnotic vocal refrain - 'she's my Brazilian love' - anchors the track, transforming it into both a rhythmic hook and an emotional statement designed for late-night dance floors. Speaking on the record, CAMZ explains: 'On a hot spring day in London two years ago, a day before my birthday, I wrote these lyrics in five minutes of pure divine inspiration. I saved them, knowing the right moment would come.' The release lands in the lead-up to Carnival and sits within a wider Lady Of The House Brazil campaign. CAMZ will debut Brazilian Love at D-Edge Rio for Lady of the House on 31 January, followed by an invited Lady Of The House showcase at the Batida De Todos Santos Carnival street party on 18 February, placing the record at the centre of Brazil's cultural celebrations. Blending underground credibility with crossover appeal, Brazilian Love reflects CAMZ's dedication to representing Brazilian identity through club music, while reinforcing Lady Of The House's mission to platform and support women worldwide.
