Berlin-based DJ and producer Dilby makes his long-awaited debut on Sudbeat, delivering a hypnotizing two-tracker that fuses deep house sensibilities with progressive finesse. The release is available exclusively on Beatport, with a full general release following on June 6, 2025.
Originally from New Zealand, Dilby has carved out a distinct space in the global underground with standout releases on respected labels like Bondage, 8Bit, and Selador. Known for his warm, groove-led productions, his Sudbeat debut doubles down on that signature sound—infused with personality, funk, and expert attention to detail.
The EP opens with “Lost Horizon”, a silky, mood-driven cut that builds from the first bar. Crisp percussion, sweeping synths, and groovy keys gradually evolve into a tightly wound groove, while the main break strips things back without ever losing momentum. It’s refined, emotional, and tailor-made for melodic dancefloors.
Flipping to “Lost”, Dilby takes a more introspective route. Anchored by a rubbery bassline and shuffling hats, the track oozes late-night energy. With cinematic, Bladerunner-esque textures and a hypnotic flow, this one is built for the afterhours—a sleek, modern take on deep, atmospheric house.
With this release, Dilby not only makes his mark on Hernán Cattáneo’s acclaimed label, but also adds another gem to an already impressive catalog. Both tracks offer a perfect balance of emotion and groove, confirming once again that Dilby is a producer with both depth and dancefloor instinct.
