After continuing to refine the space between House and Techno across a string of acclaimed releases, Portuguese producer Alfonsvs returns to his own imprint Kokölò with his most dancefloor-focused statement yet. Ready for the summer and with the festival season in full swing, Need Your Love EP sees the Porto-based artist embrace classic house influences without losing the energy and depth that have become his signature.

Opening with the title track, 'Need Your Love' wastes no time setting the tone as driving analogue drums, uplifting old-school piano chords and soulful vocal samples combine into an infectious peak-time cut built for hands-in-the-air moments. ‘In There' is a collaboration between Alfonsvs and RR, that shifts into darker territory, balancing the EP’s author intensity and eye for trippy vocal fragments with René Raabe’s spacious synth work to create an immersive late-night journey.

On remix duties, kicking-off the B-side, Amsterdam favourite Elias Mazian delivers his reinterpretation of 'Need Your Love', transforming the original into a deep rolling house workout driven by swinging drums, his soft voice and a warped, rubbery bassline that effortlessly bridges classic and contemporary club sounds.

Continuing to blur genre boundaries, 'Everybody' pairs deep, driving grooves with sharp progressive-inspired synth stabs, while closing track '6AM Liberation' rounds out the EP with hypnotic rhythms, subtle acid flourishes and the unmistakable feeling of sunrise after a long night on the dance floor.
