#64 Feat. Staff Picks in Deep House

Super Tuff is back on the scene with some drippy tech house deliciousness for you. Introducing Warden. Two lovers of all things techy, minimal, and weirdWarden is a collaboration between M. Vaughan and Irelands Whoisben. Borne from weekly ritual sessions in Lisbon throughout 2025, Learning Curve is a grass-stained love letter to early 2000s tech-house. For fans of Swayzak, Loidis, Central, and Herbert. Prioritizing simplicity, these tracks often start with hypnotic synth stabs and build with deep modulation. Made from a heap of samples, a tangle of dropbox folders, and a stack of videos on FM synthesis, Learning Curve is the sound of two friends nerding out. What started during weekly studio sessions in Lisbon ended up stretching across two continentsone member relocating to Spain, the other with a few months hiatus stateside. Despite the distance, Learning Curve captures what can happen when two dudes lock themselves in a digital room and commit themselves to making heat. Moonlight is a synth workout featuring Basic Channel-infused stabs, underpinned by deep tech. Pensamentos is a dubby chugger, filled with echo-drenched introspection. You & I recalls dreaming while the SSX Tricky loading screen plays in the background, thick low-end muscle and cheeky vocals. Liftoff sends you on a spacewalk, drifting weightless through syncopated downtempo. Warden is here, Super Tuff is back, and oh boy does it feel good. Ahhhh!
