With multiple gold and platinum records under his belt, Johan S continues to push forward, delivering modern, high-impact house music with a signature touch. ‘A New Generation’ is no exception—another statement release on Adesso Music.

Renegade Riddims: Vessel
5 February 2025 - Shelley Dodds
Vessel isn’t just a DJ—she’s a vibe architect, a selector who knows exactly how to ignite a dancefloor. Fusing dark, rolling beats with high-energy steppers, her sets are a masterclass in movement, effortlessly shifting between Drum & Bass, speed garage, breakbeat, dubstep/140, jungle, trance, and techno. No matter the genre, she flips it in a way that leaves you wishing you were there. Her style is all about energy—raw, relentless, and impossible to ignore.
Her journey started four years ago, locked away in her bedroom, learning the craft after getting hooked on the energy of house parties and raves. What began as a passion quickly turned into a mission. Vessel dedicated herself to the art of selection and mixing, refining her skills and developing a sound that cuts through the noise. It wasn’t long before she found herself behind the decks at proper raves, where she quickly made an impression with her ability to command a crowd.
Now, she’s shelling down stages alongside heavyweights like Bou, Serum, S.P.Y, Shy FX, Annix, and Hybrid Minds, lighting up events like Hidden Festival, Forbidden Forest, and beyond. Whether it’s a sweaty underground rave or a festival main stage, she brings the same relentless energy, reading the crowd and keeping the momentum rolling. Her reputation for high-octane sets and seamless blends has earned her a place among the rising forces in the scene.
But DJing is just the beginning. 2025 is all gas, no brakes. With production in the works and deeper roots in the underground, Vessel is ready to take things to the next level. Expect the unexpected—genre-fluid sets, new releases, and bigger shows that push boundaries. She’s not just following trends; she’s creating moments that stick with you long after the night ends.
Today Vessel joins us on Renegade Riddims for the second time. She’s now a resident DJ with On The Decks (OTD) based here in Milton Keynes, where you can regularly catch her on the stage and in the crowd at Unit Nine. This is also the second in a run of mixes from residents on the evergrowing brand, with the first from D-M last month. Vessel’s skills and sound have made great progress since the previous mix she did for us and we’re excited to see and hear more from her as she steps into production!
Vessel’s new mix features music from artists such as Black Yukon Sucker Punch, NC-17, Kasra, Noisia, The Sauce, Monty, Kidsonic, Universal Project and loads more!

Yuuta debuts on ‘El Bandido’ via Say What?
4 February 2025 - Grahame Farmer
Say What? is back with release number 208 – a stunning 5-track EP from Colombian newcomer Yuuta.
The first track of the release ‘El Bandido’ makes us dive straight into a world of pulsating rhythms and hypnotic grooves and shows that Yuuta knows how to blend punchy basslines with tantalizing synths to make dancefloors move.
Second up is ‘Domado’ offering a smoother yet equally compelling ride, where rolling vibes and melodic accents intertwine into a perfect dancefloor tool that balances groove, emotion and energy, making it a must-have.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Eqow_kvJ6I?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




Third on the release – ‘Karioca’ brings a playful edge to the EP with vibrant rhythms and infectious hooks that pulse with life and movement. The use of a simple piano stab elevates the track totally to another level and sets a perfect minimalistic vibe.
The fourth – ‘Kurama’ ventures a bit more into darker territory, its enigmatic textures and hypnotic drive create the perfect atmosphere for those early morning sessions.
Last but not least we have ‘Sacrilegio’ – a track that dares to challenge convention. With its edgy, raw elements and relentless drive, it leaves a lasting impression, ensuring the listener is left both exhilarated and craving more.

Quicche
30 January 2025 - Dan Prince
Introduce yourself, who exactly is Quicche?  Quicche is Marc. What first inspired you to become an artist? When I started making music, as a teenager, it was certainly, even if it doesn’t sound particularly romantic, just a tool to make friends – at least that’s what I hoped. As I grew older, I realised how much strength one can draw from one’s own creative work and how important it is for my own processing. So the drive has turned 180 […]
