Both in my DJ sets and productions, my sound is always progressing. Over the last few years especially, I feel I am sonically in a very different place. Creating my own label has always been with the goal of providing a vehicle for my own music, but also a way to support and collaborate with exciting artists who I respect in the scene.

I’m launching the Late Checkout imprint to emphasise a new chapter in my career and my evolving sound, but still hold the same values regarding my personal music curation. It’s not a specific genre, sound or tempo, it’s about quality club music which rocks your soul. It took me a while to find a record in which I was confident enough to inaugurate the label until my ‘MAMI’ collaboration with COBRAH came together. It’s a unique club heater with global appeal.
