HUGEL And Jude & Frank Deliver Poignant Latin House Single ‘Pra Nao Dizer’ On Insomniac Records!

The world-renowned sensation HUGEL teams up with Italian producer Jude Frank on their new single ‘Pra Nao Dizer’, a poignant house offering arriving on Insomniac Records.

Based out of Portugal, the trendsetting phenom HUGEL positioned himself at the precipice of the Latin house movement before it started becoming fashionable. On his first appearance with Insomniac, he turns his sights to a now-beloved Brazilian composition by Geraldo Vandré from the ‘60s, which was originally banned from the country due to its perceived politically charged message by a government overrun by the military. The song has since become a national treasure for the people, symbolizing hope in the face of civil unrest. It eventually took on a new shape fit for house enthusiasts with a four-on-the-floor reprisal many moons ago. Now, HUGEL and Italy’s Jude & Frank—also referred to as Jude Love—are doing the historic hymn justice with their vibrant reimagining.

Revolving around the poetic and profound lyrics, ‘Pra Nao Dizer’ is a brilliant percussive roller that weaves itself around radiant tribal drum patterns. Sung in the song’s native Portuguese tongue, the allegorical whispers float on the top of the groove with unparalleled grace. Around the halfway mark, the layers are pulled back completely, allowing the chanting voices of the village to bleed in with the striking classical guitar during a breathtaking breakdown before the gyrating rhythm rolls back in for a momentous resolution.

“This song was an Ibiza classic 10 years ago,” says HUGEL. “I wanted a fresh version for my DJ sets because this song creates an emotional moment, especially as a closing track. Jude & Frank joined me on the idea of refreshing this one and here we are.”

On the backside, HUGEL offers a second translation of the piece with a special 6 AM edit. On it, he employs a deep and equally arresting tech house framework to relay the song’s legacy to late-night fare.

“The 6AM edit is almost techno and I can’t wait to play it this summer in Ibiza,” he adds. “It’s also my debut with Insomniac and since it is one of my favorite countries to perform in, I’m very excited about this collaboration.”

Originally from Marseille, the France native fell head over heels for Spanish culture during his days spent in Ibiza holding residencies at Pacha and Ushuaia. His affinity for Latin music has since flourished into a career touting multiple Gold and Platinum awards. One of his most impactful releases to date is his massive record ‘Morenita’, which has garnered support from industry leaders from the likes of Vintage Culture, Diplo, John Summit, FISHER, and many more. His newest creation ‘Pra Nao Dizer’ with Jude & Frank is next in line to make the rounds, and the deep meaning of the original is enough to make a resounding impact all on its own.

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.

In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.

Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

Stepping into the world of bass house for this track, Deadlynoiz has produced a hugely impactful hit brimmed with his hallmark strengths. ‘Rock The House’ is a fantastic showcase of his ability to design and blend together a myriad of creative synths to deliver powerful soundscapes. The track keeps pumping from start to finish but is dynamic in its energy shifting from the more melodic verses to the aggressive, bass face inducing choruses. Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.

His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.

‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.

Scarper Drops ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’ Compilation

Scarper releases ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a collection of eight unreleased tracks from the era behind his debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and ‘E-Funk’.

UK artist Scarper has released ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a hand-picked collection of eight previously unreleased tracks pulled from the same period that produced his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and his 2020 dancefloor tune ‘E-Funk’, which has been experiencing a resurgence thanks to a recent physical release on a new imprint.

The project is exactly what it sounds like, Scarper going back through his studio archives and finding the demos, jams, and ideas from that era that were good enough to polish up and put out. “I realised I had quite a few demos, jams and ideas on my laptop from that period, some of which were decent enough to polish up and get out into the world,” he said. “It’s a snapshot of where I was musically at the time, so I thought I’d package them together as a retrospective rather than a proper release, giving people something to enjoy while I crack on with the next project.”

The eight tracks cover a lot of ground, from the epic opening chords of ‘Skynet’ to the acid squelches of ‘Steppe’ and the string arrangements of ‘Halocline’. It is the kind of release that rewards the people who have been paying attention, and sits comfortably alongside some of his best work.

Scarper has built his career almost entirely on his own terms, releasing through his own imprint Plexus Records and picking up support from Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Rinse FM, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, and DJ Mag along the way.
