  • Wild & Free
    BeatTracker #4 Feat. New Releases in Overall

    Wild & Free

    Swanky Tunes , Shapov

    Beatport New Releases

    Following a string of widely supported releases and years of international touring, Shapov and Swanky Tunes come together on 'Wild & Free', a track that moves between melodic club music and indie dance. Bringing together their different approaches to songwriting and club production, the collaboration leans into a more restrained direction, letting the elements unfold gradually rather than forcing the track into obvious peak-time territory. At the center of 'Wild & Free' sits a children's choir that gives the track its identity from the first moments on. Combined with distorted arpeggios, steady percussion and a warm but driving groove. The synth work keeps building throughout the arrangement without becoming overloaded, while the vocals add a slightly fragile and human feeling that stays with the track long after the drop. The result is a club record that works across both larger festival settings and more intimate late-night moments alike.

  • Pentada
    BeatTracker #10 Feat. Staff Picks in Melodic House & Techno

    Pentada

    Goom Gum

    Beatport Staff Picks

    Goom Gum return to Watergate Records with Pentada, a peak-time weapon built for bigger floors. Pentada sits in a driving Tech House space, with a ravy edge running through the track. A tight groove and solid low-end keep things locked in, while the synth work adds a sharper, more energetic feel, complemented by a slick 80s-leaning piano. Vocals play a central role, pushing the track forward and giving it a raw, upfront character without overcomplicating the arrangement. The release also includes an instrumental mix, keeping the focus purely on the groove for more stripped-back moments.

  • Blind EP
    BeatTracker #20 Feat. Staff Picks in Bass House

    Blind EP

    Gabss , Morab , Ryoda , Ellynora

    Beatport Staff Picks

    Gabss, Morab and Ryoda link up on 'Blind' EP for Watergate Records, delivering a three-track package aimed at different moments on the floor. The title track 'Blind' leans into a big room Tech House direction. Built around a sharp, driving groove, the track is pushed forward by a sawing synth line and short, rap-like vocal bits that give it a raw and direct energy, designed for peak-time sets. On 'The Attic', Morab and Ryoda take a different angle. The track sits in Indie Dance territory, with a looser groove and cut-up vocals that keep things moving without overcomplicating the arrangement. Closing the EP, 'Work Here' brings the energy down a notch. Moving into Melodic House, the track is more spaced out, with vocals from Ellynora adding a softer layer on top of a steady, flowing groove. With the 'Blind' EP, the trio delivers three tracks with distinct directions, covering peaktime pressure, groove-led moments and a more reduced closing feel, all with a clear focus on club use.
