7 February 2025 - Grahame Farmer
Joe Vanditti makes a triumphant return to Dennis Cruz and Eddy M’s MÜSE imprint with his latest EP, ‘Clean Up,’ dropping on 7th February 2025. 
A name that continues to rise in underground house circles, the Italian DJ/producer has built a solid reputation with releases on Moan, Bamboleo, Deeperfect, and Libero Records, earning support from industry heavyweights like Ilario Alicante and Stefano Noferini. Now, after the success of ‘Antava’, Vanditti steps back onto MÜSE with two precision-engineered club cuts.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-ZNgzhSksA?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




One of the standout tracks, ‘Example,’ is a masterclass in stripped-back, percussive house music. A punchy 4×4 beat drives the groove, while whispered vocals and tight, rolling rhythms add layers of hypnotic energy. It’s a track built for deep, late-night dancefloor moments, carrying Vanditti’s signature blend of funky stabs and crisp percussion that keeps dancers locked in from start to finish.
With a career that began at just 15 years old, Vanditti has consistently honed his craft, developing a sound that blends groove-heavy house with sharp, modern production. ‘Example’ is yet another showcase of his ability to craft stripped-back yet powerful club weapons, proving why he remains a key name in the scene.
