MITCH OLIVER RETURNS TO SLAPPED WITH ‘LET YOU GO’ FT. KEILIMEI

The Canadian label head returns with his latest original production, joined by a remix from Berlin-based DJ and producer Yulia Niko.

Following the release of its summer VA À Fleur de Son, Montréal-based imprint SLAPPED Records now turns the spotlight back to label founder Mitch Oliver with the release of his latest single, Let You Go. Featuring vocals from Hawaiian singer-songwriter Keilimei and a standout remix from Berlin-based producer Yulia Niko, the release brings together two distinct interpretations of a track built around emotion, groove and club functionality.

Let You Go continues the creative connection between Oliver and Keilimei, following their previous collaborations Paris Lovin’ with Tyler Mesa and Under The Moonlight  in 2025. With previous releases on respected imprints including Purified Records and Anjunadeep, Keilimei brings her emotive vocal style to the record, adding warmth and depth to Oliver’s latest production. Built around a rolling low end, restrained percussion and spacious melodic details, Let You Go explores the space between melodic songwriting and club functionality. Keilimei’s vocal sits at the centre of the arrangement, bringing an emotional depth that balances the track’s understated groove.

As both a producer and the founder of SLAPPED Records, Oliver has built the label around music that favours individuality over convention, championing records that leave an impression through groove, atmosphere and careful execution. Let You Go sits naturally within that philosophy, pairing understated songwriting with a refined club sensibility.

On remix duties, and available from July 24, internationally celebrated artist Yulia Niko brings a fresh perspective to the record, transforming the original into a more up-tempo, driving interpretation. Preserving the emotional core of Keilimei’s vocal, her remix introduces sharper rhythmic movement, hypnotic melodic layers and increased dancefloor momentum, offering a more energetic counterpart to Oliver’s original.

The release follows a busy period for SLAPPED Records, which has continued to expand through a steady stream of releases and an international event series. Connecting the label’s growing roster with dancefloors across Europe and North America, the SLAPPED Summer tour concluded with a homecoming showcase and Let You Go release party at NWHR in Montréal

ØTTA SHARES NEW SINGLE “GATA FINA” FEATURING FIAH

OUT NOW via HOTTIES

DEBUT ALBUM PELE DE MAR OUT SEPTEMBER 18

ØTTA has released “GATA FINA,” a new collaboration with Mendoza-born artist FIAH, out now via ØTTA’s own label and global party brand HOTTIES. The single is the latest preview of her forthcoming debut album PELE DE MAR, arriving this fall.

Driven by ØTTA’s signature high-energy, high-BPM production, “GATA FINA” pairs relentless club momentum with FIAH’s rapid-fire vocals. Her performance is flirtatious and commanding, with the repeated refrain “Papi, quiero que me des / Esta gata está en celo”—pushing the track’s uninhibited desire directly to the surface.

The collaboration brings together two artists whose work treats the dancefloor as a space for uninhibited self-expression. Deeply connected to electronic music and queer culture, FIAH builds a world defined by irreverence and complete creative freedom, with sensuality at the forefront. Her theatrical delivery locks effortlessly into ØTTA’s production, transforming the song into an exchange between physical intensity and larger-than-life character.

Born in Mendoza, Argentina, FIAH moves between music and fashion, drawing inspiration from artists including Madonna, FKA Twigs, Amy Winehouse and Doja Cat. Her live performances extend that vision through movement and stagecraft, creating immersive experiences in which the physical carries as much weight as the sound.

“GATA FINA” follows lead single “PULSO.,” one of the PELE DE MAR’s most euphoric moments, and continues to reveal the borderless sound of the album. The eight-track body-of-work traces the places, relationships and experiences that have shaped ØTTA throughout her life, moving from Lisbon and London to South America while capturing her evolution across more than a decade as an artist, producer and DJ.
 

PELE DE MAR Tracklist:
1.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - RIO
2.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - GATA FINA feat. FIAH
3.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - PULSO.
4.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - REBOLA DE SALTO feat. LUA DE SANTANA
5.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - 4X4 feat. BIBI BABYDOLL
6.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - FRIO
7.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - THAT SNACK
8.⁠ ⁠ØTTA - SAUDADE

PELE DE MAR also brings together a new generation of South American artists, with collaborations from Argentina's FIAH alongside Brazilian artists Lua de Santana and Bibi Babydoll. Having previously worked with Nathy Peluso, Lua joins ØTTA on "REBOLA DE SALTO," while Bibi Babydoll brings her unmistakable funk energy to "4X4," reinforcing the album's global outlook and cross-cultural perspective.

Before ØTTA broke through with her high-energy debut Plus One EP in 2020, music and art had been a constant thread throughout her life. She spent six years playing in an orchestra, later studying art and architecture, absorbing a language of symmetry, repetition, and structure that continues to define her approach. That instinct has carried through her breakout Boiler Room performance in Manchester and into HOTTIES, the label and event series she established to foster creativity in her community.

PELE DE MAR tells a story not just of ØTTA’s 12 years as a musician, but of her life until now: the places, people, and relationships that shaped her, and the layered experiences that make each person one of a kind. And if she has learned anything along the way, it is that the best way to be unique is to truly embrace yourself.

“GATA FINA” FT. FIAH is out now. PELE DE MAR arrives September 18.

CHUS AND CEBALLOS OPEN A NEW CHAPTER WITH 'SOMOS UNO’

The Stereo Productions founders return with a powerful statement of renewal and connection, expanding the Iberican sound they pioneered for a new generation of dance floors.

Few artists have done more to bridge Latin musical traditions with underground house music than Chus & Ceballos. Long before Afro House, Organic House and Latin-inspired club music became global movements, the Spanish duo were forging a sound entirely their own. Fusing tribal percussion, Latin rhythms, hypnotic grooves and soulful musicality, they pioneered what became known around the world as the “Iberican Sound”, while simultaneously helping define the evolution of Tech House into one of electronic music's most enduring genres.

As founders of Stereo Productions, Chus & Ceballos placed Spanish electronic music firmly on the international map, inspiring generations of DJs and producers with a catalogue that has shaped dance floors for almost three decades. Reuniting at the beginning of 2026 following a hiatus brought on during Covid, the duo embarked on an extensive Reunion Tour that has already taken them to more than 50 cities worldwide, including Montreal, Toronto, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Madrid and Barcelona. The overwhelming response has confirmed that the appetite for the unmistakable Chus & Ceballos sound has only grown in their absence.

Their new single, Somos Uno, marks the first original release of this new chapter. Rather than looking backwards, the record expands the Iberican Sound into a contemporary landscape shaped by today's global Latin electronic movement. Built around rolling percussion, deep tribal rhythms and hypnotic grooves, it retains the unmistakable musical identity that has defined Chus & Ceballos throughout their career while embracing a richer, more cinematic production aesthetic.

Speaking about the new release, Chus & Ceballos commented:

“This first release means far more to us than simply putting out a new record. It’s our way of returning to the studio, rediscovering the creative chemistry that always defined Chus & Ceballos, and reconnecting with the sound that became part of our identity. For everyone who grew up with our music, we hope this record feels like reconnecting with an old friend. And for a new generation of listeners, we hope it’s the beginning of discovering what Chus & Ceballos is all about.”

Patiently unfolding across an immersive groove, the track layers organic textures and ritualistic percussion into a record designed as much for emotional connection as it is for peak-time dance floors. At its heart lies a speech instantly recognisable throughout the Latin world. More than simply a vocal sample, it becomes the emotional centrepiece of the record; a call for unity across Latin communities and a reminder that dance music has always transcended borders. Rather than interrupting the groove, the message elevates it, transforming Somos Uno into a celebration of shared identity, culture and community.

Chus & Ceballos continued:

“For us, this track represents unity, not only the connection between different cultures through rhythm and dance, but also our own journey as a duo. After everything we have experienced, coming back together feels like another example of two different paths becoming one again. The message is simple: music has the power to bring people together, and this record is a celebration of that connection.”

At a time when Latin artists continue to reshape global music across every genre, Somos Uno feels both timely and deeply authentic. It reflects the cultural exchange that has always been central to the Iberican Sound while reaffirming the philosophy that has guided Chus & Ceballos for more than twenty-five years: that rhythm is a universal language capable of bringing people together.

Rather than serving as a retrospective on their remarkable career, Somos Uno looks firmly towards the future. As the first single from their Reunion Tour campaign, it signals the beginning of a new body of work from two artists who continue to evolve while remaining true to the musical identity that has made them one of electronic music's most respected partnerships.

Chus & Ceballos are widely regarded as one of Spain’s most enduring, influential, and professional electronic music duos. With a career spanning almost three decades, DJ Chus and Pablo Ceballos have left an indelible mark on global dance culture as producers, remixers, label founders, and pioneering tastemakers.

Renowned for their exceptional studio work — including official remixes for global icons such as Madonna, Shakira, Yoko Ono, and many more — Chus & Ceballos embody a rare versatility that allows them to command intimate underground clubs as effortlessly as massive, life-scale festivals. Their marathon DJ sets are infused with a genuine Iberian character, where hypnotic percussion, driving grooves, and emotional depth converge in a seamless dialogue between House and Techno. This balance — organic yet powerful, soulful yet precise — has become their defining signature.

Over the past decade, Chus & Ceballos have been the architects and champions of the underground movement known as the **Iberican Sound**. Long before Afro House and Latin Tech House became global trends, they introduced a bold fusion of tribal rhythms, Latin percussion, soulful vocals, and electronic discipline. Through their influential label, Stereo Productions, they cultivated an entire ecosystem of artists and producers who embraced Tribal music not merely as a genre, but as a way of life. This movement reshaped dance floors worldwide and established a lasting blueprint for modern house music.

Their unwavering dedication, professionalism, and constant sonic evolution propelled them to the pinnacle of the global scene, earning residencies at some of the world’s most respected clubs, including Pacha and Cielo in New York, Space Miami, Stereo Montreal, Sound Los Angeles, Ageha Tokyo, and countless others across continents. Everywhere they performed, Chus & Ceballos became ambassadors of rhythm, unity, and warmth—unifying dance floors through authenticity and groove.

After a five-year hiatus that began during the pandemic, Chus & Ceballos now return with The Reunion Tour – a highly anticipated reawakening of one of electronic music’s most iconic partnerships. This next chapter is both a celebration and an evolution: a reconnection with fans, a reflection on their shared journey, and a bridge toward the future. Drawing from years of personal growth and artistic exploration, their reunion honors a legacy that helped shape the modern sound of house music while reaffirming its relevance in today’s global scene.

The Reunion is more than a comeback — it is a statement of renewal, connection, and continuity. With their unmistakable blend of percussion, groove, and soul, Chus & Ceballos continue to represent an invaluable legacy of sound, where quality is the message, rhythm is the language, and the dance floor remains the eternal meeting point.
