Grace Bones & Jacqui Bennett – Found Love – Let There Be House

I’m really excited to be landing on DJ Rae’s Let There Be House for the first time with my new single Found Love, alongside the amazing Jacqui B. The track carries an uplifting energy that sits right between UK Garage and House — two styles that have always shaped my sound. I wanted to blend the best elements of both into something deep, soulful and slightly jazz-tinged, giving Jacqui’s heartfelt vocals the perfect space to shine.

Deepmore – London – Snatch Records

I’ve been really into this new one from Deepmore London on Snatch Records. It’s got that proper house groove I love – warm basslines, shuffling drums and musical touches that feel classic but still fresh. You can hear the respect for the roots in it, but the production keeps it sounding right for today’s dancefloors. It’s the kind of record that just rolls, gives you space to work with as a DJ, and fits perfectly into both deeper moments and peak-time sets.

Jeremy Sylvester Ft Jacqui Bennett – Let It Go – Garage Paradise

As someone who’s grown up on UK Garage and been heavily influenced by the sound Jeremy helped pioneer, This track has that unmistakable Jeremy swing – raw, soulful and rhythmically tight – paired beautifully with Jacqui’s warm, expressive vocal that sits perfectly in the groove. It feels authentic, timeless and built for proper dancefloors, staying true to the roots while still sounding fresh today. It’s also been great to release music on Jeremy’s label.

Reworking Critical for Eightball Records was a real honour for me, bringing my touch to a record created by true legends of the scene — Mood II Swing, Lem Springsteen, and John Ciafone. Getting the chance to remix artists and vocalists of this calibre is an absolute pleasure, and I wanted my version to respect the soul, musicality, and heritage they represent while giving it a fresh dancefloor energy. There’s a timelessness in the original that made the process both exciting and humbling. I’m also proud to have another Mood II Swing remix, I Need Your Love, landing later this year on Eightball Records, continuing what’s been a special creative connection with the label and its legacy.

Dam Swindle feat. DJ Minx – Back To The Old School – Heist Recordings

As someone who’s always drawn inspiration from the roots of House and Garage, Back To The Old School by Dam Swindle featuring DJ Minx really hits the sweet spot for me. It’s got that unmistakable warmth and bounce that feels instantly familiar, but still sounds crisp and current on today’s systems.

Grace Bones & Reanè Rain – Demz Ends – Moxy Muzik

‘Dem Endz’ featuring the urban vocals of Reanne Rain is a raw, fresh slice of UK underground energy taken from my new album ‘By The Slice’,  out now on Moxy Muzik. Built around weighty bass, tight drums, and that unmistakable UK swing, the track captures a gritty late-night feel while Reanne’s vocal brings attitude, soul, and authenticity to the groove. It’s a no-frills, dancefloor-driven cut that sits right at the crossroads of House and UKG, reflecting the underground sound and spirit that runs throughout the album.

CASSIMM, Dj Rae – Your Touch – Jackie’s Records

When I hear the surgical precision of CASSIMM come together with the raw, house-diva energy of DJ Rae, it instantly feels like a proper club weapon – timeless in feel but still bang up to date for today’s floors.

Marc Cottrell – Every Night – Good For You Records

Marc’s a good friend of mine and someone I’ve shared a real musical connection with over the years, so hearing ‘Every Night’ from Marc Cottrell really resonates. This one leans into those US Garage soulful vibes – warm, musical, and full of groove with that unmistakable depth that Marc always brings to his productions. I’ve been fortunate to release on his label Plastik People, which makes this even more personal for me. I’ve also got a forthcoming 12″ on Plastik People with Jacqui Bennett titled Mr DJ, so it’s great to have that continued connection around Marc’s camp while he keeps delivering quality records like this.

Josh Butler, Bryan Chambers – Upside (Extended Mix) · MYC Records

As a long-time lover of that unmistakable ’90s US Garage House sound, Josh Butler & Bryan Chambers – Upside really hits the spot for me. It’s a beautiful slice of soulful garage energy, with Bryan’s silky, heartfelt vocals floating effortlessly over Josh’s lush, musical pads, rich chords, and crisp, rolling beats. For anyone who appreciates proper US garage house vibes with soul, depth, and groove, this one is a standout.

St. David, Jason Nevins, Davide Disanto – Keep Reachin’ – Hard Times

This track is a proper chunky Garage workout –   tough beats, sharp vocal chops and a groove that just hits hard from the first bar. Big love seeing the legendary Hard Times back doing what they do best with records like this.

Grace Bones & Jacqui B ‘Found Love’ will be released on all platforms on May 29th 2026 on Let There Be House.
