Unveiling his first material on the imprint this year following recent material via PIAS Electronique, Oblong, Higher Ground and more, the label boss serves up another requested anthem, with the track set to land on 26th July 2024.
Continuing to evolve beyond early tips into an artist with his own distinct sound and style, it’s safe to say Ben Sterling is in the groove more so than ever, having started 2024 with a wealth of landmark debuts, including Coachella, while also taking his Planet X project back to Miami during MMW for a standout showcase to stamp its global prominence further. Returning to the label for the first time since the release of ‘Lost Illusions’ last year, the imprint head honcho follows up a series of diverse projects and reworks with another standout record with the release of ‘Tribal Badman’. Influenced by US house of the 90s and early 00s, in particular the catalogue of Subliminal Records - with Sterling’s first London show being a Subliminal Sessions date at Ministry Of Sound aged just 18 - the record brings a special touch having been mixed and mastered by label mainstay, Harry Romero.

Built on a slick, rolling groove and reinforced by skippy drums, a pulsing bassline with infectious vocal calls and chants throughout, ‘Tribal Badman’ brings another melting pot of electronic influences to the fore and serves up yet more dancefloor-driven material from Sterling to soundtrack the summer.
