Kepler and Boss Priester join forces on the Use Ya Head EP, a three-track release landing on Sidney Charles's Heavy House Society imprint. Rooted in deep underground groove and forward-thinking club energy, the EP blends rolling basslines, hypnotic textures, and sharp rhythmic detail into a package built for discerning dancefloors and late-night sessions. Title track 'Use Ya Head' sets the tone with grooving low-end movement, tripped-out textures, and edgy underground energy. Driven by a weighty bassline and fluid rhythmic flow, the track balances hypnotic tension with stripped-back precision, delivering a quality-over-quantity approach perfectly suited to intimate underground spaces. On 'Bounce Around,' the pair lean into a more playful and energetic direction. An infectious urban vocal hook and killer bassline groove drive the track forward, while youthful energy and punchy percussion keep the dancefloor locked from start to finish. Direct, rolling, and full of attitude, it's a cut built for peak-time underground moments. Closing the EP, 'Realise' delivers a hypnotic blend of bounce, swagger, and dreamlike atmosphere. Already gaining support from tastemakers including Enzo Siragusa, the track combines punchy grooves and swinging rhythmic movement with immersive melodic textures, balancing power and subtlety with effortless control. Leeds-based producer Kepler has rapidly established himself as one of the UK underground's most exciting talents through his distinctive fusion of house and garage influences. With releases on labels including FUSE, Up The Stuss, Semi Delicious, and Constant Sound, alongside appearances at venues and festivals such as Fabric, Club Der Visionaere, Mint Warehouse, Gottwood Festival, and Pikes, his groove-led productions have earned support from names including Ben UFO, Raresh, Chris Stussy, Four Tet, and Sonja Moonear. Joining him, Boss Priester has continued carving out a unique identity through a refined blend of minimal, house, and techno influences. His no-nonsense approach to groove and sound design has led to releases on respected labels including Fuse London, Ba Dum Tish, X-Kalay, Dungeon Meat, and Constant Sound, while performances at Awakenings, Loveland, 93 Feet East, and Lofi have further established his growing reputation.

Nautica (UK) join Nick Curly and Gorge's 8bit with the Do Anything EP, a four-tracker firmly rooted in the label's deep, groove-led sound. Across Do Anything, Sub Theory, Let It Roll and Looped in Motion, sleek drums, warm pads and rich chords ride over fat sub frequencies, keeping each cut in constant motion with a crisp, forward-driving flow. distributed by HS Consulting & Distribution GmbH // Housesession GmbH

Nuts & Volts gets a little more techno with help from Seoul's JNS. After meeting during a recent stop at the wonderful Hertz club, a quality demo of his found its way first into Gene's Mudd Show demo showcase, and now arrives in the shape of a fully formed EP on Nuts & Volts. It's a little faster, and a little more metallic, but still tantalizingly deep.

With over two decades behind the decks and in the studio, Italian powerhouse duo and long-time friends Supernova make their Heattraxx debut with 'Inner Motion', a release that reflects their refined, club-driven sound. Drawing from Chicago house, acid, funk and beyond, they deliver a style that feels both rooted and forward-facing. The title track moves with a magnetic swing and controlled energy, built to lock dancers in without excess, while 'The Light' opens things up with a more spacious, late-night feel - subtle, fluid and quietly powerful. A concise statement from artists who know exactly how to work a dancefloor.

After months of road testing, Emanuel Satie & Maga finally unveil 'Energy' featuring vocal legend Ali Love on Scenarios. Built around a warm organ progression, groovy bassline and Ali's unmistakable vocals, 'Energy' channels the spirit of classic vocal deep house while keeping things fresh and playful for today's dancefloors. Uplifting, catchy and full of feel-good emotion, the track is a celebration of human connection and the kind of chemistry that can only happen organically. Longtime fans of Ali Love and records like 'Benediction,' Emanuel and Maga first connected with him in Lisbon, where all three artists now live. After a few hangouts, a studio session followed and 'Energy' came together naturally - a positive summer house tune about falling for somebody's vibe and presence. The record has already become a staple in Emanuel Satie & Maga's sets over recent months, with a special live premiere alongside Ali Love at Pacha Ibiza delivering one of the track's standout moments so far. With its timeless vocal, infectious groove and sun-soaked atmosphere, 'Energy' arrives on Scenarios as a modern house record built for open-air dancefloors, late-night moments and summer mornings alike.

From Miami Music Week to Circo Loco Radio, m.O.N.R.O.E makes his debut on the label and draws a direct line from 90s Miami Bass and hip-hop into house. Three tracks that carry that history without feeling nostalgic, with support from artists like Dan Ghenacia already behind them. We're glad to have him on the label.

Spanish artist Yamil makes his debut on the label with a powerful two-track release that perfectly captures his signature blend of deep emotion and hypnotic groove. Featuring Just a Dream and Shake It, the release showcases Yamil's unmistakable sound — melodic, driving, and deeply immersive from start to finish. Just a Dream explores a cinematic and emotional landscape, built around haunting melodies, warm textures, and a steady pulse that slowly unfolds into an uplifting journey. With its rich atmosphere and subtle intensity, the track highlights Yamil's ability to create music that connects both emotionally and physically on the dancefloor. On the other side, Shake It delivers a more direct burst of energy. Rolling drums, hypnotic rhythms, and a powerful groove push the track forward with relentless drive, while maintaining the refined melodic sensibility that has become a hallmark of Yamil's productions. With this debut release on the label, Yamil presents two tracks that embody depth, movement, and emotion — a strong introduction that leaves a lasting impression.

With Adventures of the Past Volume 1, Markus Sommer opens the door to a personal archive of music that nearly stayed hidden. Written and produced between 2015 and 2021, these tracks were once lost in the process — unfinished chapters, hard-drive memories, sketches from different moments in life — before eventually finding their way into the world. Rather than presenting a polished snapshot of one specific period, Adventures of the Past Volume 1, feels like a collection of time capsules. Across ten tracks Sommer moves between deep house warmth, electro shades, UK garage rhythms, experimental and minimal details and understated club functionality. The result is intimate and free-flowing: music that carries the memory of its own making. There is a strong sense of honesty throughout the release. These are not tracks forced into a single concept, but pieces that reflect different emotional and musical moments — small flashbacks from the studio, preserved with their own character. Some cuts lean into dancefloor energy, others feel more reflective or leftfield, but together they form a loose diary of sound: playful, humble, personal and rooted in the underground language Sommer has built around his work as a DJ, producer and label head. Mastered by Sommer himself and accompanied by his own photography, Adventures of the Past Volume 1, keeps the presentation close to the source. It is music shared without over-explanation: a gesture of release, memory and connection. Or, in the spirit of the original note behind the record — stay humble, share music, love and peace.
