5 ARTISTS YOU NEED ON YOUR RADAR

With house music continuing to evolve at a rapid pace, a new wave of artists are making serious noise across clubs, festivals and some of the scene’s most respected labels. From emerging UK talent to producers already beginning to break through internationally, these are five names we think deserve your attention right now.

GUDFELLA

Philippines-born and LA-based, GUDFELLA has quickly developed into one of the most exciting names emerging from the current house landscape. With more than 113 million accumulated streams and appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Club Space and Brooklyn Mirage already under his belt, his trajectory is moving quickly.

A major catalyst has been ‘Morning Coffee’ alongside Jitwam, which has received support from Michael Bibi, Adam Ten, BLOND:ISH, Max Styler, Carlita and more. Recent releases have also seen him link with James Poole on ‘Gator Boots’ for Defected, while collaborations with Disco Lines and Surf Mesa demonstrate an artist capable of moving between underground club music and a wider audience without losing his identity.

FLEX (UK)

Flex (UK) is another name steadily building momentum within the new generation of UK house producers. His sound revolves around rolling grooves, weighty low-end and stripped-back club energy, with a growing catalogue beginning to establish his place in the scene.

Releases including ‘Panty Droppa’ on Trick, ‘So Fine’ on Disorder and ‘Say What?’ on FUNKSHWAY have been followed in 2026 by ‘It’s A Bomb’ and further new material. His catalogue also stretches into UK Garage and Bassline territory, highlighting a versatility that makes his next moves particularly interesting.

KAMINO

Kamino has been on a relentless run of club-focused releases, blending tech house with heavier bass-driven influences to create a sound built firmly around the dancefloor.

His catalogue already includes releases on Catch & Release, Experts Only, REALM, THRIVE and Ultra, alongside collaborations with Anabel Englund, Kyra Mastro and Tima Dee. 2026 has continued that momentum with ‘Vertigo’, ‘U Should Be Dancing’, ‘Vibe Check’, ‘Warp Tool’ and most recently ‘ALL DAY ALL NIGHT’ on Gorgon City’s REALM Records.

With the consistency and quality of his output continuing to rise, Kamino feels increasingly close to making the jump into the next tier.

TONY ROMERA

Tony Romera is certainly not a newcomer, but his current run makes him impossible to leave off the radar. The French producer has spent years developing a reputation for technically sharp, groove-heavy house music while continually evolving his sound.

His wider catalogue has touched some of house music’s most influential labels, and his ability to balance underground credibility with records capable of making an immediate impact on a packed dancefloor has made him a consistently reliable name.

Rather than an emerging artist in the traditional sense, Romera is one to watch because everything points towards another major chapter in a career that continues to gather momentum.

FOYNEZ

London-based brothers Foynez are rapidly becoming one of the UK underground’s most promising new house acts. Their sound combines rolling grooves, warm basslines and crisp percussion with plenty of funk and personality.

That rise reached an important milestone in August with ‘Bombreaker’, their debut release on Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations. The label itself described the duo as one of the UK’s fast-rising new house acts, with the record combining hip-hop-inspired vocals, bass-driven grooves and bright chord work.

With their profile continuing to grow and a Hot Creations debut now added to their catalogue, Foynez look well positioned to become a much more familiar name over the coming months.

What connects all five is momentum. GUDFELLA, Flex (UK), Kamino, Tony Romera and Foynez may be at different stages of their careers, but each is currently carving out their own lane within house music.

With major label releases, growing DJ support and increasingly distinctive sounds between them, expect to hear plenty more from these five names across the rest of 2026 and beyond.
