Honeyed jazz vocals wrap themselves languorously around the grooves of Richmond, Virginia's long serving deep house servant DJ Aakmael, across four gorgeous re-edits. 'Crazy' builds from a Parrish-esque kick drum thump with dramatic strings and frantic snare punctuation. 'Luva' takes a more laid back route, with lilting guitar licks, 'Strange Fruit' is driven by an irresistibly crunchy rhythm track and low key keyboard chords, the vocals eerily echoing around the space. 'I Didn't Know' ends things on an up note with a bright and shiny house strut and jazzy flourishes. As matches go, this one is certainly made somewhere pretty close to heaven.

Laseech, a Croatian producer and Cosada label owner with releases on BBE, Lumberjacks In Hell, Red Ember Records, and Forbidden Dance, is continuing a string of excellent releases with Rising Soul. Known for his dedication to house music, Laseech has built an international reputation through collaborations and remixes with some of the genre's most respected architects, including Ron Trent, Patrice Scott, Javonntte, and Dego. "Rising Soul is actually one of the first tracks I did back in 2017 while I was heavily into sampling. I was jamming with my MPC1000, and Rising Soul came up. I never thought that it would become such an effective song that works on the dancefloor every time." Laseech explains. Kez YM, a highly respected Japanese producer and DJ, has been a key figure in the global house music scene for almost two decades. Originally from Chiba and now based in Berlin, his unique approach to house music has led to releases on esteemed labels such as City Fly, Faces Records, Yore, and 4Lux. When describing his version of the track, Kez simply stated: "VIBES." Well, no one will argue with that. The last version comes from Cycle Records' founder Jan Kincl, a prominent Croatian music producer and DJ with releases on labels like BBE, Far Out, Sonar Kollektiv, and Get Physical. "I've been playing Andrej's original for years. He undoubtedly made some good stuff recently, but this one remains among my firm favourites from him. Kez delivered a beautiful version that took it further towards jazz territory, so I decided to make a version that would bridge those two." Jan explains. "I knew we could build a very good record around Rising Soul, with versions that would give DJs different options for different moments during the party. I guess we did a good job because some of the early supporters include DJs from all over the place - Laurent Garnier, Alex Barck from Jazzanova, Marcel Dettmann, Alex Nut (Eglo), Sasse, Chicago's K' Alexi Shelby, Lakuti, Ian Friday and Truncate, among others.

One of Vince Watson’s biggest selling tracks (but rarest vinyl records) finally gets a repress on wax. This time fully remastered and mixed and on his own Everysoul Audio imprint. The original vinyl release on Osunlade’s Yoruba Records in 2015, and was a very limited vinyl run. Now it sounds better than ever and on fresh wax. The track is backed up by a new dancefloor version of ‘Reach For The Sun’, a track that featured on the ‘Every Soul Needs A Guide’ album. This time its flexing jazz vibes, a driving addictive rhythm and ‘Jaguar-esque’ uplifting chords and strings.

Due to popular demand: Two tasteful edits from the first, long-sold-out ITTY release, now available on a 7”. The A side is dubbed out and extended, with cut beats, dusty horns and a strong vocal. On the B side Got to Find a Way is a flip on the prince of soul, as poignant as ever after a year of protests.

Delusions Of Grandeur is proud to welcome back emerging producer, multi-instrumentalist, and
vocalist Declan McDermott for his standout new EP, Why Don’t You Believe Me? Blending
analogue hardware and live musicianship with deep, groove-driven production, the release
showcases a confident and colourful voice in contemporary underground house.
Hailing from Sydney and now based in Berlin, Declan McDermott has quietly evolved into one of the
most intriguing new names in left-of-centre house music. A lifelong instrumentalist and vintage gear
authority he shifted from producer/musician-for-hire, to step into his own spotlight after falling in love
with the hypnotic pull of late-night deep house and dub-influenced dance records. His studio work
draws on analogue synths, vintage drum machines, field recordings, and his own understated vocal
delivery, forming a sound that’s warm, textural, and effortlessly soulful. With his debut release turning
heads among selectors who value emotion as much as groove, this EP marks his development as
one to watch.
Why Don’t You Believe Me? is a slow-mo deep-house meditation wrapped in warmth and weight.
Declan and his featured vocalists lay down their spoken and vocodered vocals across minimal,
stripped-back house drums, weaving through DX7 and OBX-a melodies with subtle dubby inflections.
It’s intimate but floor-friendly - an introspective nocturnal groove that sways rather than shouts.
Next up we have a remix from the revered French luminary I:Cube who lifts the BPM and launches
the track straight onto the club floor. Leaning into cosmic-disco and classic filter house, the remix is
propelled by a rolling, hypnotic bassline and warm Rhodes chops that drive the groove along. It’s a
classy, elevated rework with the signature I:Cube balance of drive and dreaminess.
Flipping over we have the legendary NYC-based DJ Nature (founding member of Bristol’s Wild
Bunch crew and sound system) who injects raw soul into the original, keeping things crunchy, real,
and deeply felt. Clipped drums, dusty organ textures, and a warm, human touch guide this version -
equal parts basement grit and emotive mood. It’s the kind of remix that feels like it could only come
from a seasoned hand.
The EP floats to a close on a serene, atmospheric note with Yara-Kimba (Lindeman Island).
Named after Yara-Kimba, the Indigenous name for Lindeman Island in the Ngaro Nation /
Whitsundays region of Australia, given by the Ngaro people, the traditional custodians of the land
meaning ‘place of the snapper fish. Echoes of Ron Trent’s spacious, spiritual deep house permeate
the arrangement, with gentle percussion, tropical tones, and a calm-breathing groove. As Declan
says “This track is a tribute to Yara-Kimba, inspired by childhood memories, the island’s natural
soundscape, and my vision of a distinctly Australian / Oceanic house sound.”

A2 - Why Don’t You Believe Me? (I:Cube ‘Pourquoi’ Remix)

Chicago house great Lil Louis really nailed it when he wrote 'Cub Lonely' back in 1992 with his group The World. It was taken from their album A Journey With The Lonely and has lead vocals by Joi Cardwell that helped it become an instant club smash. All these years later it always gets a big reaction on the floor which is why it has now been reissued by Epic complete with a series of remixes. The I'm On The Guest List mix is the one with the wonky sax lines and steamy vocals, the instrumental is paired back and more club-ready then DJ Pierre's Afro club mix bringing some big and freewheeling synth energy. The Bellbottoms & Platforms mix is a subtle tweak and then the most raw of the lot is the Radically Lonely mix to close down.

The undisputed heavyweight champion of edits, Mr. K, is back with another fine defence of his title and one that pays homage to two classic grooves. 'Always There' sees the 1975 Ronnie Laws original refined but still capturing a jazzy r&b spark while nodding to Side Effect's iconic horn stabs and adding a drums-only outro that makes it DJ-ready. On the flip, 'For The Love of Money' delivers the O'Jays at their peak and backed by MFSB who cook up a monumental bass line with Mr. K balancing the LP and single versions into a tight, playable edit. Timeless grooves with maximum floor appeal.

Naya Beat is excited to announce 'PAWA!', a soaring disco-funk anthem celebrating feminism and the
power (pawa) of togetherness. It is a mouthwatering collaboration between legendary jazz vocalist and disco
pioneer Asha Puthli and NYC’s punk-chic, discodelic stars Say She She.
A fortuitous and fleeting window between touring schedules allowed Puthli and Say She She’s Nya Gazelle
Brown, Sabrina Cunningham, and Piya Malik to write and record Pawa! with members of the cult funk band
Orgone in the English countryside at Mike Oldfield’s (Tubular Bells) studio. Pawa! is a tribute to female fortitude
and an anthemic call to action for unity and collective action. PAWA TO THE PEOPLE! Asha’s spoken word
bursts into a soaring falsetto while Say She She’s celestial three-part harmonies make for a sublime call
and response between the fabled mentor and her gifted disciples. Throw in a stellar bassline and one of
tightest rhythm sections around, and you have an instant classic. And if that wasn’t enough, four remixes bring
Pawa to the dancefloor! The UK’s legendary Crazy P deliver not one, but three future classics – an epic
house take with a stomping bassline, a stripped-down vocal dub, and a sunshine-ready disco dub. Not to be
outdone, Greece’s favourite dance duo Boys’ Shorts add magical disco touches and reimagine the original
as an eight-minute balearic opus.

Tracklist:
A2. Pawa! (Crazy P Vocal Dub)
A3. Pawa! (Crazy P Disco Dub)
B1. Pawa! (Boys' Shorts Remix)
B2. Pawa! (Crazy P Remix)
