Its that time of year when anyone with a love of dance music shelters in Amsterdams hotels and bars and discusses the wonderful world of repetitive beats. Post-discussion, and usually post-consumption, they scrap their way into whatever club they can to enjoy said repetitive beats. This compilation gives you the best of our releases from the past year so that you can enjoy some prime Glasgow Underground at a very reasonable price. With the added bonus that, if youre at ADE, and the discussion turns to Scotlands foremost house imprint, youll know what youre talking about.

Groove Delight returns to Glasgow Underground with Ex Machina, her most distinctive release to date. Building on her journey from tech leaning indie dance into a fully formed modern indie dance sound, this track pushes further by drawing inspiration from electronic funk and boogie of the 1980s. Live feeling drums, razor sharp synth bass, and syncopated Moog style leads combine to create a record that feels both futuristic and deeply rooted in dance music history. Subtle vocal phrases hint at themes of technology and control, but the focus remains on groove, movement, and personality. This is indie dance with funk in its DNA. Genres: Indie Dance Key Use: Peak time indie dance sets For fans of: Maccabi House, Diynamic, modern indie dance with character

Glasgow Underground welcomes South Korean producers Sielo & Juntaro with Da Bass — a tough, peak-time indie dance record built for high-energy floors. Sielo first caught our attention with his synth-driven tech house output, while Juntaro is already well known for releases on Fishers Catch & Release and other leading US imprints. Together, the pair push into a heavier indie dance space inspired by artists like Max Styler. Thumping drums, razor-sharp synths, and a hip-hop-leaning vocal hook combine into a record designed for moments when the energy needs to lift fast and hard. Genres: Indie Dance Key Use: Peak-time, big-room crossover For fans of: Max Styler, Bonafique, Moontalk, DEFLEE

Glasgow Underground Nu Disco / Disco

Following the success of his nu-disco remake of Blue Monday, Israeli producer DE SOFFER returns with a stunning rework of Smalltown Boy — one of the most emotional and celebrated songs of the 1980s. This vocal was originally recorded for another project, but when the track didnt materialise, DE SOFFER asked to work with it — and he has absolutely delivered. Smalltown Boy is a notoriously difficult song to adapt for the club: the verses carry emotional weight, but the originals breakbeat-style structure doesnt translate naturally to a 4/4 floor. DE SOFFER solves that problem with style.
He keeps the iconic synths and melancholic beauty of the original, then adds an infectious disco bassline, guitar groove, and rich melodic lift that transforms it from an 80s anthem into a prime-time nu-disco floor filler. The extended version mirrors the originals emotional arc while dropping into a euphoric, arpeggiated electro-disco finale — the kind of end-of-night moment that leaves the whole ro.

Glasgow Underground Afro House

Glasgow Underground welcomes Presi On & Spijker with What Remains — a hypnotic, Afro-melodic house record that sits perfectly between deep Afro groove and melodic house energy. Presi On is an artist weve long admired, from his work on Blond:ishs Abracadabra to his standout GU release Guantanamera. Teaming up with Amsterdam-based Spijker — a producer already turning heads with his genre-fluid approach — the pair deliver something that feels both musical and forward-looking. Warm synths, subtle Afro rhythms, and a melodic progression that slowly unfolds make What Remains ideal for DJs moving between Afro house and melodic sets. Genres: Afro House / Melodic House Key Use: Sunset → early peak, melodic Afro transitions For fans of: Pete Tong, KÖLSCH, Blond:ish, MoBlack, CamelPhat
