Reblok’s latest dance floor missiles are next up on Lee Foss’s trendsetting Repopulate Mars label.

Serbian artist Reblok is hotly in demand by today’s finest labels, releasing at an alarming rate on Elrow, Sola, Abode, Stereo Productions and many more. The quality never dips, however, and he constantly explores new ground in the house and techno spheres, picking up fans such as Marco Carola, Claptone, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers and David Guetta, not to mention touring the globe and playing at institutions like Exit Festival.

‘I Love You’ is a perfectly heart swelling and beautiful vocal house track. Smooth and seductive chords roll under simple but effective drums, fills build the tension and chunky rolling kicks recall lounge house greats from the nineties. The colourful ‘Carnival’ shows off a different side, with Latin house elements with accordions, synths and wonky drums. It’s a charismatic cut that is perfectly timed for the warmer months and outdoor parties.Last of all, the brilliant ‘Bottom’ again flips the script, this time with deep, rolling drums and bass bringing plenty of physicality to the groove. It’s a stripped back number with a percussive skip, sleazy vocals and laser-like synths all injecting plenty of energy.
