Roomservice – Lost
In the neon-drenched landscape of modern house music, few labels are capturing the “after-hours” spirit quite like Montreal’s own KooKoo Records. Their latest deep dive into the groove comes in the form of the Can’t Get Over EP, and while every track on the project is a contender for your late-night playlist, it’s the track “Lost” that truly steals the show.

Monkerbonk – Love Is Free
The song feels like it’s constantly evolving. It oscillates between moments of shimmering, melodic beauty and absolute sonic chaos. One moment you’re floating in a cloud of ethereal synths; the next, you’re being hit by a barrage of “wonky” basslines that feel like they’re trying to break out of your speakers.
jibreel & BLZBO – ICED OUT
“ICED OUT” lives and breathes in the shadows. The production is a masterclass in minimalist intensity. Instead of cluttering the mix with unnecessary layers, the duo focuses on the elements that matter: a punishing low-end and razor-sharp percussion.
Nelly – Hot In Herre (Father Funk Remix)
Just when you thought the early 2000s couldn’t get any hotter, Father Funk enters the chat. We all know the original—Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” is the undisputed heavyweight champion of summer anthems, a Neptunes-produced masterpiece that defined an entire era of hip-hop. But in his signature “Ghetto Funk” style, Father Funk has taken that iconic heat and cranked the thermostat until the windows started rattling.
No Thanks – Where I Be feat. Kota
In a world that constantly demands we be “on”—connected, productive, and curated—there is something profoundly radical about a track that celebrates just existing in your own space. “Where I Be” by the house duo No Thanks, featuring the smooth-as-silk vocals of Kota, is that rare anthem. It’s a masterclass in atmospheric tech-house that manages to feel both like a high-energy club heater and a grounded, introspective journey.
Dillon Francis, Shipwreck – Whole Lotta Drugs (Vocat Edit)
The core hook—”one thing’s for sure, there’s a lot of people doing drugs in here”—gets sliced, diced, and repitched into hypnotic chops that drive the track forward. This isn’t just a remix; it’s a rhythmic overhaul where those familiar words become percussive stabs and swirling textures, amplifying the bass-house energy of the original.

SISI – BICTP
“BICTP” doesn’t waste any time establishing a gritty, industrial atmosphere. It’s a track that feels designed for a dark, smoke-filled room where the sound system is pushed to its absolute limit.
