Dutchman Michel de Hey is back with a first ever studio album titled ‘Let It Go’. Due for release on Thursday 3rd October, it comes as a digital-only album on the In The Future label with a special all-nighter in Toffler Rotterdam (b2b de Sluwe Vos) and a 10HRS set at Thuishaven with Benny Rodrigues confirmed.

de Hey has been a respected DJ, producer and label boss for more than 30 years. He always captures audiences with a continuous element of surprise and constantly innovative sounds. He has played everywhere from Berlin to Ibiza to Japan and released on his own HEY! Records/EC Records, Noir Music, Bedrock and Rejected amongst many others.

This fantastic new album represents the last six years of Michel’s life, which have been his busiest yet. It is one firmly aimed at the dance floor, just how Michel likes it, and some tracks feature his own vocals, all of which are designed to make you forget about the world around you. Some of the tracks have previously been released as vinyl only or anonymously, and the artist himself says:

“In the time this was written, I moved to Amsterdam, I got divorced, I had too many long weekends, I turned 50 and most importantly, after 30 years, I finally re-found the pleasure and satisfaction of working in the studio. I can listen to all the tracks with pleasure and pride although each track stands for a different phase in my grieving process and getting over my various turmoils.”

Musically the album packs a real punch across ten tight tracks, from the deep opening grooves of ‘Dawning’ to the more unhinged synths and spinning hi-hats of the cosmic ‘I Am Not Looking For’. ‘Just One Turn’ is pure, infectious house music, while ‘I Just Want More And More’ ups the ante with punchy drums but melancholic chords. Elsewhere there are stripped back dub house cuts like ‘Wednesday’, masterfully melodic and hypnotic rollers like ‘Sail With Me’ and dreamy, pad laced closer ‘So Cold’.

This is an effortlessly cool and absorbing house track that takes you on a real trip to the heart of the dance floor in real style.

The best things are always worth waiting for. Having buzzed off the same parties and dug from the same Dutch record store crates for many years, old friends Michel De Hey and Boris Ross finally collide in the studio and the result is this stone-cold summer weapon: 'If You Know You Know'.

Know this: Everything about this track is designed for impact. Pulverising bass/kick plunges, stately hypnotic acid tweaks and a sense of weight and breadth that could have arenas the size of South Wales trembling to the core, its the perfect house/tech hybrid that could work across all dance floor scenarios. And it comes from a studio alliance formed over Rotterdam's best Surinamese sandwiches.

With Boris fresh from a Baggi collab on Desolat and Michels Steve Silk Hurly homage still doing serious damage on Rejected, 'If You Know You Know' is the latest in a rich vein of heavily supported cuts from both individuals. Let's hope we don't have to wait so long for the follow-up because this really is the business. Get in the know.

Party time.

It might be sub-zero temperatures out there right now. It might feel like we'll never seen the sun again. But trust us, the moment you press play on this absolute gem of a reboot from Michel de Hey, you'll feel like summer is just around the corner.

Bringing Sims & Hurley's '92 anthem bang up to date Michel ups the tempo a smidgeon, remakes that legendary piano hook into a glittering, rush-fuelled slice of loop rocket fuel and brings our full attention to Kym's iconic vocal. The result is a concentrated shot of positivity that palpably trembles with everything thats pure and sacred about house music.

Michel returns to Rejected after releases on Ovum, Pokerflat and Relief with a lesson in how to respect a heritage track while adding your own creative twist and bringing it to a whole new generation. And it's landing just in time for spring and those early signs of the hot summer ahead. Wrap up warm and crank this up. The sun will be here before we know it.
