Exclusives Only: Week 19 — Beatport's Weekly Showcase Fires on All Cylinders
Another week, another edition of Beatport's Exclusives Only series, and Week 19 arrives with 45 tracks spanning the full breadth of contemporary electronic music. From deep house and minimal tech to hard techno, drum & bass, afro house and psy-trance, this compilation works as a genuine snapshot of where the underground — and its commercial fringes — currently stands.
Highlights of the Week
The most recognisable name on the list is Chris Lake, who teams up with ATRIP for Make You Fight on his own Black Book Records imprint. Running at 131 BPM in G Minor, it's a direct, uncompromising tech house weapon built for main floor destruction. Equally authoritative is Carlo Lio's Perseco on Luciano's Desolat label — a 130 BPM minimal groove with that knotty, hypnotic character that has always defined his work.
Drum & bass gets solid representation: Majistrate drops the compact and lethal Step Up 2026 on Low Down Deep Recordings, while Objectiv brings a more liquid feel with Feeling Me on Sofa Sound, and Data 3 rounds out the trio from Flexout Audio with Geiger Counter.
On the melodic side, the three-way collaboration between Kapuchon, Miss Monique and GLZ — Hot Sauce on AETERNA Records — is one of the most accomplished productions in the pack, blending Miss Monique's signature emotional depth with a driving, dancefloor-ready framework. Bryan Kearney and Modeā push the trance contingent with Ready to Fly on Musical Freedom, a classically constructed main floor anthem at 143 BPM that will satisfy genre loyalists.
