Rodriguez Jr.’s ‘Off Gerlach’ is the latest in a long line of emotional, ambitious synth-heavy house sounds from the French maestro. It became a fixture of many summer sets and is now being reworked closer to the dance floor by two contemporary titans.
It arrives as the acclaimed producer heads out with a new Hybrid show, a DJ-led journey that finds him moving through his own sounds and selections across the electronic spectrum, with a new streamlined technical setup. He has already performed at festivals like Cercle, BPM Festival and Into The Woods, and clubs like Fabric, Space Miami and across the US and Asia, and now he heads into 2027 with a freshly inspired sound.
Copenhagen-based Denis Horvat is known for meticulously crafted, synth-heavy grooves on labels like Innervisions, Afterlife and his own Vokabularium. His fantastic new version beefs up the drums and layers in whirring, abstract synth details that bring an alien quality. The bass rumbles and filtered vocals twist and turn between pensive chords that keep the emotional core intact. “I took the progressive and emotional parts of the original and made them my own. I loved the vibe as I was; it just needed some of my signature tweaking to make it a bit more groovy” – Denis Horvat
Next up is Yet More, an artist with Levantine and Persian heritage who grew up in Paris and fuses cultural depth with elegant sound designs. A resident DJ at Silencio, Paris, he has released on top labels but also runs his own More Or Lewis and shows his class here with a remix that he “wanted to infuse more drive and tension into. I always think about the “moment” in which a song gets played and where it falls in the set from the audience’s perspective.” In this case, the remix works in both big, cinematic moments and intimate settings. It has a pixelated lead that sets the tone as it ascends to the heavens before falling away to reveal the warm, cuddly drum and melancholic bass. The original chords drape over the groove for a bittersweet finish that lingers long in memory.
