#50 Feat. New Releases in Tech House

Buogo is a Brazilian DJ and tech house producer who has been releasing since 2020. Last year, he appeared on our radar with killer cuts on labels like Witty Tunes & Nervous. However, it was his all-conquering thumper Rave It (from Sirus Hood & Manda Moors Wild Moods compilation on Mood Child) that firmly grabbed our attention. Its clever sound design and jacking vocals created a monster that hooked underground heads like Detlef and Deeper Purpose and big room mainstays like R3WIRE and Gettoblaster. His debut for us is the killer, 90s-rave-inspired Bring Down. Rapid-fire bass and slamming beats run the show, while a classic Casio keyboard hook delivers the breakdown magic—a big one.

#57 Feat. New Releases in Dance / Pop

CERES is Melissa Dos Santos, a 22-year-old vocalist, songwriter, producer and DJ from Brazil. She began self-releasing in 2020 and, since then, has recorded with some of the biggest names in the EDM world. Her collaboration with Alok (Lets Get Fkd Up) has done over 200M global streams. In addition, she is managed by the same young Italian management team that looks after TWENTY SIX and Tayson Kryss. Through this connection, she started collaborating with Kevin McKay. They have written two songs together, one in CERES usual style and one deeper, housier affair. Sugarcane is the high-octane thriller that CERES fans will love, tapping into Kevins love of Drax Nelson, Airwolf Paradise and Ewan McVicar. 90s chord stabs and a bouncy Italo bassline lead the way while CERES hooky-as-hell vocals top the lot. Its a full-speed pumper.

CERES, Kevin McKay
