Emerging Israeli producers Clüb de Combat are the next must-know tastemakers to join the Black Book Records family. The brainchild of Aviv Alon and Amit Azulai, the duos upcoming single, ColaZero, makes for an outrageously fun track, balancing aesthetic and function. Between its springing bassline and anthemic Portuguese adlibs, the end result is a track brimming with effortless cool, adding an essential peak time play to the artists catalogue.With recent releases on labels like Diynamic and Realm, its no surprise that Clüb de Combat have swept the ears of the industry. As the duo prepare for their debut US tour slated to kick off in 2025, theyve already shared stages with Solomun, Seth Troxler, DJ Tennis, Ben Sterling, and Red Axes, while also earning tastemaker support on their own IDs from legends like Peggy Gou, FISHER, Mau P, and more. ColaZero comes paired with a remix from Airrica, whose own mounting profile has experienced a meteoric climb in the past two years. The Los Angeles-based selector is a bonafide tastemaker who just finished her extensive European tour, counting Ibiza residencies and enviable plays at some of the most famed venues across the globe on her resume. Tasteful, groove-laden, and sharp, the remix distills Airricas signature sound behind the decks into an edit that celebrates authentic rave aesthetics, though with her uniquely modern inflection.
In 1992, Curtis Alan Jones left an inimitable mark on Chicago house history with his release of Percolator—an instant classic that continues to command dance floors to this day. Its only fitting then that Chris Lake, as both Green Velvets longtime friend and a legend in his own right, should hold the privilege of lending an official take on the timeless smash. Landing on Black Book Records, Lake accepts the honor of welcoming a true classic to the labels catalog. Chris Lakes remix of Percolator sees the producer reshaping Green Velvets original into contemporary form, as he distills all of the memorable details that made it a fixture of the genres heritage in the first place. Using his signature bassline to pulverize the dance floor, Lake cranks the energy of the original up an octave or two, while masterfully preserving the charm of the original. Leaning on the tracks iconic hook as the beating heart of his remix, Lake pulls off what only those steeped in decades of experience can, crafting yet another staple for his discography. The release comes armed with a remix from UK tribal tech selector, Bontan, whose mounting profile in the contemporary house circuit has earned him support from the likes of Adam Ten, Carlita, Ben Sterling, Melé and Diplo, to name a few. The top-selling Beatport artist is best known for his inescapable IDs, and his edit of Green Velvets Percolator remix delivers on nothing less. The groove-laden minimalism of Bontans trademark drumwork sees the producer craft his unique sound, while compromising none of the impact that Velvet carefully carved into the track in the first place. Endlessly referenced and sampled, Percolator indisputably established Green Velvet as a luminary within the lore of American house music. Were proud to present these remixes, the original lives to tell yet another tale of its timeless impact.
