The album of the year - and the beginning of a new era at Gigolo Records. Ten club tracks packed with pure impact, crafted by one of todays most talented and innovative producers: Aziz Haddad from Tunisia. His sonic fingerprint breaks all genre boundaries - impossible to categorize - and fits perfectly into the Gigolo Records family and history. Azizs uniqueness lies in his anarchic definition of sound: 4-to-the-floor house, 80s synth pop, techno, and hypnotic beat programming merge into a cinematic, magnetic whole. Selected Bangers rewrites the rules for 2025 - every beat counts.

Exploited Club welcome in esteemed duo Pig & Dan alongside production buddy Johan Mila. 26 years in the game, Igor and Dan have covered a lot of ground in Dance music, amassing a venerable list of records, check points and performances as theyve grown. Releases on Drumcode and their own label ELEVATE, playing alongside Carl Cox, spinning at Space standing out as jewels in a highly decorated crown. Pig & Dan alongside Johan Mila ready some dance floor dynamite in the form of Living My Best Life which kicks off with a neatly knitted drum track that sets the stage, punching and snapping in all the right places while a sunken bass line snakes in the sub region. Filters open out, giving the bass a serrated edge as it charges up a brash, sassy mood alongside bold, zesty vocals before gears shift and the vibe absolutely rockets. Stabs, vocals and drums burst with alacrity across a vibrant, no-nonsense banger that gives an Italo soul a certain hi-def, Electro edge. Johan Mila steps in with a viciously effective remix. He sets his drum machine pumping out a tight braid of snares, perc and busy hats while synths spread like butter across the groove. A warped piano line courses into centre stage before ducking behind flexible sweeps and a ripe, nasty bass line. Teeth are bared in the break as things take a slightly sinister turn - low frequencies growling and gathering steam before letting loose in a wild, hedonic buzz.
Were excited to drop Rewind, a club weapon straight from Sarajevos own After Affair, core members of the Garden of Dreams collective. Designed for pure dancefloor energy, Rewind hits with rolling percussion, a heavy low-end drive, and synths that build tension with every bar. Its a track that doesnt wait around, sharp, hypnotic, and made to move bodies. No slow build-ups here, Rewind jumps right into the groove, locking you in from the first beat and giving DJs exactly what they need to turn the night up a level.
The Mutations VII series concludes with part three, featuring Black Space, Komilev and Klawin. Each artist brings their own signature tone to the mix, shaping a cohesive yet varied closing chapter. The result is a fluid collection that ties together the series core themes - movement, restraint and transformation - with understated confidence.
For its third release, CLOSER returns to its founder, Maxim Lany, with a track that embodies both the labels vision and Maxims unmistakable sound. Tunnel is truly a tribute to minimalism: hypnotic, pulsing and dark yet playful, built for late nights and long sets. Where Habibi was a love letter and Without U a confession, Tunnel is an exploration of tension and release. Maxim layers deep, minimal grooves with a sense of cinematic weight, creating a track that feels at once personal and universal, introspective yet firmy rooted on the dancefloor. With each release, CLOSER sharpens its identity: fearless, emotional, and always moving forward. Tunnel is Maxim Lany at his most distilled: focused, patient, and utterly magnetic. The passage opens. The rhythm guides. CLOSER to the night. CLOSER to the journey. CLOSER to you.
