When an artist is in the middle of a season, a track can be the thing that opens a peak-time room. 'Work That Body' is that record for HUGEL right now. Placed first of 12 in his own Make The Girls Dance Chart Vol. 22 on 12 Sep, then second of 10 in the Caje Chart on 2 Sep, the single is a reminder of his central position in the summer sound and helps carry the closing weeks of the Ibiza season.

'Work That Body' pairs a four-to-the-floor backbone with Afro-adjacent percussion that keeps forward motion in a plain and regular hit pattern. It is a loud record, but with give under its peaks; the top end is lit, allowing syncopated vocal calls to clear the mix. Harmony holds equal ground with the percussion, so the groove stays constant while moments of tension hang in the kick's long tail.

It is out now through Make The Girls Dance Records in the Extended Mix. Today's club date at Hï Ibiza sees HUGEL present his brand in that room for the closing weeks of the season, alongside Roger Sanchez, Juany Bravo, Miss Monique and Paradoks.
