15+ survived, zero skips

another friday, another stack of new house music. we went through every release that dropped this week and kept the ones nobody could skip.

240+ new tracks went through the skip test. 15+ made it out alive, plus a contraband pick straight off dedro's own soundcloud 💎

and right after the picks, we've got a favor to ask.

the heat 🔥

every track that survived the week. tap any of them to play it on spotify.

real talk for a sec 🤝

thank you for signing up, and for actually opening these every friday. every reply, every save, every share, we see all of it and we sincerely appreciate you.

we're building this thing out in the open and we want it to be what you want. got an idea for the newsletter, the playlists or the site? something you wish it did, something we should add? hit reply and tell us. we read every one.

the big one we'd love help with is the site. groovesmaxxing.com has a lot on it now (artist and label pages, set tracklists, the mood picker, dropping soon, the festival calendar) and we want it to be easy to find your way around. if anything was hard to find, or you got lost somewhere, tell us where.
