Kiko and Olivier Giacomotto return to Watergate Records with the two-track 'More Pressure' EP, bringing their high-energy club sound back to the label. The title track is a Melodic Techno cut with a strong rave feel, urgent synths and plenty of forward motion. It has the kind of immediate energy that has become a clear part of their work together, without overloading the arrangement. 'Shake' goes darker and more stomping. The rhythm is heavier, the mood more stripped back, and the track stays closer to a raw late-night club feel. The two tracks show slightly different sides of the duo's sound, with 'More Pressure' leaning into rave energy and 'Shake' taking the tougher route.

Gassan, Rvckhimov and Hype Glow release the 'Stay Close' EP on Watergate Records, bringing together three club tracks across Melodic and Afro House. The title track 'Stay Close' is the more expansive cut of the EP, pairing a driving Melodic House groove with widescreen synths and a cinematic feel. It is built for the bigger room, while keeping the arrangement relatively controlled rather than leaning too heavily into obvious peaks. 'You Know Me' moves into Afro House territory and brings Tea J into the collaboration. More restrained in its approach, the track works around a steady groove and understated melodic elements, giving it a more direct, late-night club feel. Closing track 'Push It' features Lamedy and sits somewhere between the two sides of the EP. Percussion takes a stronger role here, alongside a distinctive flute line that gives the track its main character, while the production combines the melodic scale of 'Stay Close' with the more rhythmic approach of 'You Know Me'.
