MUSIC RADAR #003

Deeper Purpose runs IN 2 DEEP, his own imprint, as a precision instrument — only dropping when something is truly ready. Jack Orley adds production muscle, Michael Ekow delivers a vocal that cuts through like a spotlight. Three collaborators with one shared goal: own the floor from bar one.

That bass motif is deceptively simple. Which is exactly why it works. You don't notice it's taken over until it already has.

Born and raised in Queens, NYC, CID has been a resident force on the Insomniac circuit for years. He designed this track specifically as a set opener — electroclash-style vocals over rubbery basslines and buzzsaw synths. His words: "It commands the room instantly."

Insomniac knows when to pull the trigger. This one hangs the floor between tension and explosion — until the drop answers.

Florence-born Marco Faraone has been a cornerstone of the European underground — known for long-form sets at Fabric, Berghain, and DC-10. Nervous Records, founded in 1991 in New York, has an instinct for what endures. This collab between Italian grit and NYC legacy is exactly as solid as it sounds.

Faraone doesn't write hits — he builds states. That percussion pattern is so buried in the groove that by minute one, you've already forgotten how it started.

RWorks is Danny Howard's imprint, a label known for precision — only signing releases that have proven themselves in the booth first. RSquared and Iglesias both carry residencies on the UK club circuit; together they strip every track back to the raw mechanics of pressure.

Minimal structure, maximum pressure. The title is the brief. That's the whole track — and it's all it needs to be.

Brazil's electronic scene is quietly taking over, and Hellbent Records is one of its most credible export vehicles. Caique Carvalho and Mojjo share a background in São Paulo's underground — their productions are known for hypnotic precision over spectacle. This is a track that reveals itself on repeated listens.

Hypnotic. Almost medically precise. The kind of track that becomes dangerous by the fourth listen — you can't locate when it took hold.

Nu Moda is currently Brazil's most exciting tech house export — young, lean, and uncompromising. Greggio has become their signature artist, running sets that prioritize impact over warmup. Attack lives up to its name in every way: short setup, immediate execution, no apologies.

The name says it all. This track works like a weapon: short, precise, no mercy. Nu Moda is exactly where the energy is right now.

Kerr Slaven — KC Lights — grew up on the Isle of Bute off Scotland's west coast, discovered Ibiza at 17, and never looked back. A multi-instrumentalist with a music degree, he's been a Toolroom staple since 2019, racking up 100M+ streams and remixes for Calvin Harris, MK and David Guetta. Dança bridges his British tech house drive with Latin percussion — and it works perfectly.

Toolroom put out something that connects two worlds here. KC Lights understands rhythm as a language — on Dança, the track speaks every dialect at once.

Layton Giordani is a New York-based DJ and producer who's played B2B with HI-LO at Tomorrowland and held an Experts Only residency. Experts Only is Chris Lake's imprint — a label that knows exactly how to calibrate peak-time releases. AR/CO brings a dark melodic edge that elevates this well beyond standard fare.

Experts Only knows how to dial in peak time. Giordani and AR/CO deliver something that defines both the sound and the feeling of a night. Dark. Driving. Out of control.

KREAM are Norwegian brothers that have quietly built one of the most consistent catalogues in modern house, landing releases on Spinnin', Toolroom and beyond. SCRIPT brings additional bass-first energy to a partnership that clearly runs on the same frequency. Liquid Lab as their home label keeps things underground where they belong.

The closer. KREAM build tracks like architects — every layer is exactly where it needs to be. This one doesn't let go: wide foundation, relentless energy, enough pressure for the last hour of the night.
