peace control took the week,
and we tagged five sets

nineteen records made it through. one of them is a peace control record, which is convenient, because we also tagged his set this week and he is playing denver in three weeks. sometimes the week writes itself.

five tracklists went up, six pieces of roster news landed, and iii points finally showed its hand. no set times yet. we checked.

track of the week 🔥

on repeat 🧃

15+ survived the cut. three of these were sitting in the dropping soon tracker all week and landed exactly when it said they would.

contraband of the week 💎

the customs officer looked the other way on this one.

the artists wrote back 🤝

this is the part we are most proud of. five rows this week were confirmed by the artist who made the record, in their own words, not by a guess of ours.

Davidi told us the track at 9:55 in adam ten's barcelona set is his own, "ride", and that our timestamp was off. we moved it. he came back again on rafael's set: the michael jackson edit at 27:56 is his and Michael (ME)'s, and it is still unreleased.

GROSSOMODDO confirmed "brrr" in our dms. still unreleased, out in october.

Jackie answered two rows in one message, "let me house u" and the mama remix, both still unreleased.

other asks are still sitting unanswered, and those rows stay exactly as they are until we hear back. we would rather leave a row open than put a name on it that nobody confirmed.

soundcloud only ▶️

new on the site 🛠️

dropping soon is live. every confirmed upcoming release we can verify, on its own page at groovesmaxxing.com/upcoming, with a strip on the homepage and a slot on artist pages. nothing goes on it without the artist's or the label's own dated post, a store pre-order, or a dm from the artist. leads stay internal.

our first label page. make the girls dance records, with a full HUGEL profile alongside it.

Davidi got a page. so did Michael. four new tracklist pages went up. badges landed on 374 artist pages, soundcloud previews on 569, and every artist page now has prev and next so you can just keep walking the roster.

where the grooves are 🙌🏽

iii points, 16 and 17 october, mana wynwood, miami. phase two is up and 33 names on it are on our roster. the b2bs are the reason to care: Beltran b2b Ben Sterling, Marco Carola b2b Franky Rizardo, Max Styler b2b Vintage Culture, and Max Dean b2b Luke Dean.

set times are not out yet, and there is no day split either. the festival's own hours page is still showing 2025 dates, so ignore anything you see quoting times. we will run them the week they land. the lineup.
