The first track from Just Emma's You Don't Know Me chart (19 Nov) is a hypnotic, percussive house journey that the duo crafted with Gokan, a standout in their recent output, balancing intricate percussion with deep harmonic layers. It sits at a comfortable 120 BPM, locked into a groove that feels both organic and meticulously engineered. The track's beauty lies in its contrasts: a busy, rolling percussive surface that never overwhelms the warm, dark textures underneath, and a mix that breathes, loud and tight at the peaks, but with a spacious, airy quality that lets the elements shine.

The release comes at a fitting time, arriving in the quiet before Tulum's season fully ignites, and it has already found favour with selectors who appreciate its slow-burning, hypnotic pull. With a catalogue that has leaned heavily on Sol Selectas, Just Emma's collaboration with Gokan on Trippin Tigers is a welcome addition to their discography, one that will surely soundtrack many a sunrise set in the months ahead.
