The original by Big Black Delta, the electronic project of Jonathan Bates, remains hisbiggest track to date. First released in 2011 before appearing on his 2013 self-titled album via his own Masters of Bates imprint, ‘Huggin & Kissin’ found a new audience years later through its pivotal role in the first season of Jessica Biel’s hit series The Sinner.Now surpassing 40 million streams across platforms, the track returns in an authorised rework, ‘Huggin & Kissin (All Over Again)’, as Big Black Delta and M07 join forces for its release via M07’s Key Factory imprint.
Big Black Delta’s hit returns as a driving house rework, bringing together classic house influences with contemporary club energy. M07 brings Jonathan Bates’ soulful vocal into a propulsive house groove, pairing crisp percussion and uplifting synth melodies with the grit of the original.
“I was listening to ‘Huggin & Kissin’ in Kyiv in 2013 while the Euromaidan protests unfolded roughly a mile from my apartment’ M07 says. ‘Years later, as I was developing my new live performance film SIGNAL, it came back to mind. It connected the melody I’d always been drawn to with the darker, distorted electronics I wanted to explore.”
The song became connected to his memories of that winter, at the beginning of a decade in Ukraine that would shape his musical identity.
SIGNAL, M07’s live concert film captured in an abandoned circus in Vietnam,sold out four screenings on premiere/opening night at Amsterdam’s Royal Tuschinski Theatre during ADE on 22nd October 2026. With SIGNAL, M07 explores a bridge between his melodic house and techno releases and the darker, distorted, hardware-driven sound of his live work. Big Black Delta’s combination of melody and abrasive electronics offered a natural connection. M07 approached Big Black Delta and, with Jonathan Bates’ approval, that idea became “Huggin & Kissin (All Over Again)” a reinterpretation connecting a song from M07’s early years in Kyiv with the sound he is making today.
More about M07: LA-born and now based in Spain, M07 spent a decade in Kyiv before leaving Ukraine with his family following the outbreak of war. Named after the Kyiv–Warsaw highway, the project draws on those years through melodic electronic songwriting, distorted synths, processed vocals and hardware-driven performance. SIGNAL will tour internationally through 2027. Los Angeles dance radio was playing his tracks while he was still in high school; decades of private music-making followed before his debut EP, ‘KM0’, arrived in February 2026.
Alongside his own music, M07 worked as a rave promoter in early-2000s Los Angeles, a talent buyer, booking agent and manager, and a software creator for the live music industry. SIGNAL brings those experiences into a live project with a darker, distorted sound, closer to the music he had been making in private all along.
