MOEAIKE RELEASE LIFT ME HIGH VIA UNRELEASED RECORDS

The new single arrives as one of Moeaike’s most anticipated tracks to date, fuelled by global tastemaker support and cult status across international dance floors.

Internationally renowned Italian DJ and producer duo Moeaike (Roberto Dell’Osso and Gaetano Laterza) continue their rapid ascent on the global electronic music stage with the release of their highly anticipated new single Lift Me High, arriving January 16 via Unreleased Records.

Long before its official release, Lift Me High had already achieved cult status. A warm, emotive house record defined by an unmistakable vocal hook and a refined groove, the track quickly became one of Moeaike’s most recognisable unreleased IDs. A firm favourite in their international performances, it has since been widely described by fans and selectors alike as “one of the most requested Moeaike IDs worldwide this year.”

The record has received extensive and ongoing support from Rampa, &ME, Adam Port and Reznik, with Lift Me High becoming a recurring feature during key Keinemusik performances – most notably throughout their flagship ‘Clouds’ events in Berlin, where it quickly established itself as a standout peak-time moment. Alongside this core support, the track has also been championed by a wide range of selectors from across the global house circuit.

Sonically, Lift Me High blends classic house DNA with Moeaike’s signature contemporary touch. Elastic percussion, a deep and pulsating low-end, airy synths and atmospheric textures create a sense of constant elevation, mirroring the track’s uplifting lyrical refrain. The ethereal vocal line, “Lift me high, don’t let me fall through the fire”, anchors the record with an instantly memorable emotional core, making it equally effective in underground clubs, large-scale festivals and global specialist radio rotations. Its polished production, emotional depth and modern sensibility make it a natural and seamless fit for the forward-thinking vision of Unreleased Records.

Hailing from Taranto, Italy, Roberto and Gaetano have steadily built a distinctive artistic identity since launching the Moeaike project in 2019. Their sound, which is rooted in melodic and afro-influenced house, has earned widespread support from some of the most respected names in electronic music, including Black Coffee, Desiree, Shimza, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Andrea Oliva, Fideles and the extended Keinemusik family.

The duo reached a major milestone in early 2024 with their breakout single Mala Fama on MoBlack Records, which surpassed one million Spotify streams in a remarkably short period. Their growing catalog also includes releases on leading imprints such as Impressum, Atlant, Rose Avenue, Madorasindahouse and Unreleased Records, with standout tracks like Bo Bom and Ulelè, further cementing their reputation as rising leaders within the global house movement.

Over the past two years, Moeaike have significantly expanded their international footprint, delivering high-impact performances across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and South America, including shows in Ibiza, Mykonos, Dubai, Porto, Lisbon, Paris, Munich, Buenos Aires, Tashkent, Amman and Montenegro. Across these appearances, Lift Me High has emerged as a defining peak-time moment, and a signature record that consistently ignited crowds and reinforced the duo’s growing global demand.

SHADED, ARDALAN, BLACK V NECK, & LIFE ON PLANETS TEAM UP FOR ‘SPIRALING’

Fifth Release From Flight Week Writing Camp Series

Out Now via Dirtybird

Dirtybird is kicking off the New Year with a massive four-way collaboration from some of the flock’s finest: SHADED, Ardalan, Black V Neck and Life On Planets have teamed up for ‘Spiraling’, the latest from Dirtybird’s Flight Week series. 

Buy/Stream 'Spiraling'

A showstopper on the dancefloor, ‘Spiraling’ captures all the hallmarks of a Dirtybird classic with its whimsical attitude and rolling momentum. The four collaborators inject their individual signatures, pairing hypnotic melodies, oscillating rhythms, and precise percussion with Life On Planets’ sly, pun-driven topline. It’s a bold start to the year and a boisterous addition to the Flight Week collection, showcasing how fun and frenzy can be distilled into a nonstop club record built to carry well beyond the floor.

LA-based live techno-house act SHADED has a club-centric sound that reverberates throughout underground dance floors around the globe. SHADED debuted on Dirtybird in 2020 with his Holla Atcha Boy EP, of which the title track was later highlighted on Dirtybird’s Heavy Heaters compilation in 2022. SHADED returned to the label during its 20th anniversary with ‘Bad Boy’ ahead of his appearances at Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights and CampINN. ‘Spiraling’ is SHADED’s second Flight Week release, joining ‘Salmon’ with Black V Neck.

Born in Tehran and raised between Iran and California, Ardalan has been part of the Dirtybird crew since the early days, going from BBQ attendee to label signee. In 2010, he made his debut with ‘Mr. Spock’ alongside Justin Martin, followed by EPs like 2016’s Thunderdad and 2018’s Escapade with Walker & Royce. By 2019, Ardalan had cemented his place as a Dirtybird regular with the release of his debut album Mr. Good. Ardalan participated in Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary celebrations in 2025 with a new single ‘Drip (Sweat)’ and sets at Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights Music Festival.

Miami natives Black V Neck (Ian & Julian) are a prime example of a Dirtybird’s dedication to growing its flock. The duo first appeared on Birdfeed in 2018 with ‘Stop 'N Go’, being promoted to the main label in 2019 with their Mouth Music EP. Black V Neck have remained consistent faces with their 2020 follow up Bounce EP and an appearance on the 2021 Campout Compilation. Last year, the duo helped launch the label’s anniversary celebrations with ‘Check My Brain’ and joined the label at Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights and CampINN. ‘Spiraling’ serves as Black V Neck’s third Flight Week release, following ‘Drip Drop (Handle That)’ with Life On Planets and ‘Salmon’ with SHADED.

Baltimore-bred Life On Planets has been steadily building his reputation as one of Dirtybird’s favorite players. Life On Planets first appeared on Lubelski’s Happy Accidents hit ‘Ice Cream Cone’ and has since become a consistent face at Dirtybird’s event series and festivals. In 2025, Life On Planets teamed up with Black V Neck for ‘Drip Drop (Handle That)’, launching the Flight Week series, and performed at Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights and the label’s second annual Back To Baysics
