Striding into 2026 in top form, Enigmatic producer MDA Grooves brings another injection of Latin house goodness on his essential Universo Positivo.

MDA Grooves keeps a low profile but is a prolific producer who turns out a steady stream of sophisticated house grooves that are steeped in genuine Latin heat. He's a master of percussion, sun-kissed melodies and steamy atmospheres that immediately transport you to the Southern Hemisphere and the hustle and bustle of a street party. His music forms the backbone of the Universo Positivo label and is a cultured mix of Afro, salsa, disco and cumbia, often in collaboration with musicians and vocalists from Ghana and Brazil.

Open 'Mi Corazon' is a swooning deep house sound with alluring sax notes lingering up top with a cheeky wink as dubby drums and meandering piano notes add to the sense of gentle romance. 'Radio BC Sur' slows even further into a cumbia rhythm with wonky accordion unfolding up top and female vocals adding some edge to the lush melodies. 'Somos Como Una Flor' then picks up the energy with darker drums and percussion, smoky vocals melting into the mix and a nocturnal mood that speaks of mischief. Finally, 'Esta Noche Es Loca' is a full-flavour late-night flex with steamy Spanish vocals, oversized bass and a swaggering rhythm. It's doused in rim shots, splashy cymbals and all manner of organic percussion with signature horns bringing an alluring charm.

Release title: Locked In

Label: Denied Music

Release name: 09-Feb-26

Denied Music proudly presents Locked In, a four-track house EP full of focus and forward-leaning intentions. Built for dark rooms, long drives, and heads-down focus, Locked In balances hypnotic groove with subtle emotional pull. This is house music dedicated to the flow state.

Across four tracks, virtue_signal works with restraint and intention. The pulsing low-end, syncopated percussion, and evolving textures create a sense of forward motion. Each track locks into its own internal logic, unfolding patiently while maintaining a steady sense of urgency. minimal without being cold, functional without sacrificing depth.

The EP opens with 'Chirality,' a progressive wind-up that establishes the EP's use of elastic rhythms, spatial atmospheres, and a tactile sense of swing. 'Locked In' follows the opener with a driving, bouncy, at times playful centerpiece meant for building peak-hour tension while keeping its emotional temperature cool and controlled. 'No Sleep' steps firmly into the late-night scorcher territory, with a subterranean bassline and an unmistakable vocal sample that calls out into the night like a siren. 'Night Tripper' lets you back down gently and closes the record with a hazy, after-hours glide that ushers in a subdued but euphoric dawn from the late-night excursion.

Locked In is a statement of intent from virtue_signal and a natural fit for Denied Music's forward-thinking catalog. It's club-ready without being disposable, experimental without losing the groove. For selectors who value function with feeling.

Denied Music is a digital record label focused on modern house music that prioritizes groove, texture, and emotional weight. With a curated approach and a deep respect for club culture, Denied Music supports artists pushing subtle innovation while staying grounded in functionality and feel.

Artist: Tree Threes

Track: Come Back

Label: Your Utopia My Dystopia

Release date: 06-Feb-26

Belfast’s new underground imprint Your Utopia My Dystopia (YUMD) founded by Martha Dark launches its debut release on 6th February 2026 with “Come Back,” a raw, tightly-crafted jackin’ deep house single from respected producer Tree Threes.

YUMD’s mission is simple: sound first, everything else second. In an era of endless digital noise, the label rejects the pressure for constant content and visibility. Staying true to that philosophy, YUMD operates with no website, no social media feeds — just a SoundCloud, keeping the focus exactly where it belongs: on the artists and the records.

Tree Threes delivers the ideal opening statement. “Come Back” is built on crisp, swinging drums, deep low-end pressure, and subtle vocal flashes that lock dancers in instantly. It’s a track with personality — punchy, warm, unfussy — rooted in the timeless underground feel the label stands for.

With releases spanning Nervous Records, Morris Audio, Kolour, and recent drops on London’s Special Grooves and Soul Quest Records, Tree Threes continues his steady momentum, with an EP arriving on the esteemed Selections label later in 2026.

“I’m honoured to have Tree Threes launch the first release on Your Utopia My Dystopia. I’ve been a fan of his music for years now — the way he blends raw, jackin’ energy with deep, timeless house is unmatched in my opinion. ‘Come Back’ captures everything that defines house music - raw energy, swing, and emotion.” — Martha Dark, Founder of Your Utopia My Dystopia

“Come Back” announces YUMD’s arrival with intent: Less noise. More music. Spend less time online.
