The UK garage and bassline surge just picked up a fresh German voice. XETEX makes his Bootshaus Music debut with ‘FEELURBODY’, and it is exactly the kind of tight, dancefloor-ready club tool that the current UKG wave has been built on. The Cologne club’s imprint has quietly become one of the most watchable release lists in Europe, and this signing lands right on the pulse of a global sound.
Real name Jonathan Schrollinger, XETEX sets the tone from the very first bar. Rolling sub-bass, crisp two-step percussion and a vocal hook that snaps straight into the body form the backbone of the track. Mastered by Asher Postman, a name pretty much synonymous with the modern UKG and bassline sound, ‘FEELURBODY’ hits with the polish and impact that the genre absolutely demands. Compact and punchy, it leans hard into the genre’s strongest weapons: a bouncing bassline, a hypnotic vocal chop and a relentless forward push.
It is a no-frills, no-filler club tool designed to do exactly what the title says: move bodies. With this release, XETEX adds a fresh German voice to the international UK garage and bassline wave currently dominating dancefloors worldwide, from London to Ibiza to Berlin. It follows the wider Bootshaus Music project’s ambition to sit right at the intersection of underground club culture and mainstage rave energy, and it fits that mission perfectly.
