Daft Punk is playing at my house'. or rather, *Thomas Bangalter is playing my song.* The ultimate co-sign sees Bangalter drop 'Flex It' during a livestream alongside Fred again.. at a packed, iconic Parisian venue and Chris Lake dropping it at his sold out San Diego show. It's a moment that sets the tone as UKG mercenary MPH returns to Black Book Records with serious momentum. 'Flex It' pairs MPH with LA-based producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist AE for a high-octane release built for peak-time impact. MPH follows his breakout Black Book debut 'Raw' (UKG Chart #1 on Beatport), a year of widespread support from the likes of Fred again.., Swedish House Mafia, and Peggy Gou, and his Chris Lake collaboration 'Reach For You' featuring Kelly Lee Owens from Lake's Chemistry album. Fresh off a sold-out LA show and a Coachella Do LaB debut, MPH continues to rack up support from trusted selectors including Sammy Virji, Four Tet, and Chris Lorenzo. For AE, 'Flex It' marks the debut of her artist project, and Black Book is proud to be the first home for it. Drawing from experimental roots while staying sharply playable, the track delivers crisp, no-nonsense drums, a driving low-end, and an aggressive vocal from Ash - direct, effective, and impossible to ignore.
Caribbean-Dutch energy meets the Black Book sound as Shermanology makes their debut on Black Book Records with 'Girl On The Beat,' a long-standing staple in Chris Lake's sets and a natural addition to the label's catalog. The release also features a remix from Kyle Watson, adding another globally recognized name from the house circuit to the package. With support from top artists and back-to-back recognition as Spotify's Mint Artists to Watch (2023 & 2024), Shermanology continues to build global momentum. Their single 'Boyz N Da Club' was named 'Hottest Record in the World' by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, while collaborations with FISHER and Green Velvet and remixes for Todd Edwards and Fatboy Slim have solidified their position within the global house circuit. Following major appearances at EDC Mexico, Kappa FuturFestival, and The Town, the duo step into their Black Book debut with significant international momentum. Kyle's remix flips the original by adding his intentionally niche, specialist approach - melding slick sound design, chunky basslines, and precision drum. Transforming the track into a funkier interpretation while keeping the track's club-ready edge intact.

First introduced during Mau P’s standout Sahara Tent headline at Coachella - where it became an in-demand ID request - ‘neck’ has continued to evolve ever since. The track has been reshaped and refined through months of road testing, growing heavier and more confident as Mau’s sound and scale have expanded on the global stage. Mau’s story with Black Book Records began when ‘Dress Code’ landed on the label and quickly took on a life of its own, becoming a calling card throughout his earliest tours. The record earned heavyweight support and viral moments, including a recent video of Dua Lipa dancing to the track, accelerating his momentum from rising name to international headliner. That foundation has since grown into one of the most talked-about careers in electronic music. In the years following, the Dutch producer’s ascent has been relentless. In 2025 alone, he delivered a high-production debut at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and sold out over 40,000 tickets across two nights at the Los Angeles State Historic Park. His Baddest Behaviour open-to-close series continues to grow globally, including sold-out dates and a summer residency at Ibiza’s iconic Pacha. As he looks ahead to an ambitious 2026 - including major festival appearances across the globe, more Baddest Behaviour events, and the launch of an album, label, and clothing line - ‘neck’ feels deliberately timed. It’s a reminder of where Mau P came from and a clear signal of where he’s headed.
