Hot off the Decks
REGINA
New Single: “Waiting for You”– released Nov 6, 2025
REGINA gives us a polished, groove-driven track that walks the line between melodic house and club techno. With clean production, consistent mood, and floor-ready energy, it’s a worthy pick for your weekend sets or playlist rotation.
Teddy Beats
New single: “Twilight” — released Oct 24, 2025.
Teddy Beats returns with ‘Twilight’, his richest melodic-house cut yet. Featuring warm pads and a pulsing groove, the track wraps you in that post-festival dusk feel you get walking back from U Street. Expect this one to close sets at many a DC after-hours.
Bonus Fact: This track features his wife, Mandy Beats, on vocals, making it not only a certified banger but also a loving collaboration between partners.
SPC.LK
New EP: “Obsidian Mantra” – released Sept 19, 2025
SPC.LK delivers a strong, focused EP for techno aficionados or club DJs. It doesn’t overreach; it knows its lane and stays there, dark atmosphere, rhythmic depth, minimal but impactful. There’s a good chance that you’ll hear this one during the later hours of the night, as these tracks provide floor-driven clarity and cohesive mood.
