MicroHertz are pleased to welcome the talents of INKAL and META label owner Ben Rau to the imprint with a delectable two tracker titled ‘You Got Me Running EP’, which is a release that has featured heavily in Archie Hamilton’s recent sets.

Ben Rau has a knack for getting to the heart of what the dance floor needs and wants, and that’s because he’s spent more than his fair share of time there. With gigs all over the world everywhere from DC10 and Amnesia to Glastonbury, BPM to Pitch Festival, plus many highly charting releases and an album to his name, Ben’s is a dance floor journey that is as rich as it is exciting.

With a stellar future music plot planned, including releases penned for PIV Records, Defected and Eastenderz, as well as self releases on his own label Inkal and lots of fresh exciting music signed for sub label Meta, it’s clear that 2023 is shaping up to be Ben’s best yet. His music is regularly supported by a who’s who of those in the industry from Jamie Jones to Michael Bibi, and his debut release on MicroHertz is set to continue those high standards.

For his first release on MicroHertz he unleashes his ‘You Got Me Running EP’, and first out of the box is the lead and title track ‘You Got Me Running’ which will get people running to the dance floor. With a bouncing bassline call and response stabs, vocal hook, dreamy keys and spaced out sax lead the track delivers signature Rau dancefloor gold.

On the flip side is ‘Heat It Up’. This has been a big performer for both Hamilton and Rau in their recent sets and it’s a driving house track in Ben Rau’s signature sound. Its captivating rhythm and vocal hook and bouncing acid line make this an essential dancefloor weapon. Both MicroHertz and Ben Rau have a reputation for releasing standout music that stands the test of time which makes this yet another must have release on Archie Hamilton’s influential imprint.
