Knowhat’s FEEL IT EP Bridges House Energy and Minimal Techno

Knowhat dropped the FEEL IT EP (WCF016) on January 14, 2026, delivering a compact set built to sit between uplifting house and pared-back minimal techno. The release includes two originals and a remix that shifts the record’s vibe from bright floor fuel to a darker, more sub-focused club tool.

The title track, "Feel It," is an upbeat, house-inflected cut that leans on soulful vocal elements and punchy drums. Its forward momentum and vocal hook make it an easy choice for peak-time programming when you need energy and singalong moments without sacrificing groove. The second original, "Make My Body Groove," is a sultry, groove-driven piece that foregrounds percussion and dancefloor dynamics, offering DJs a deeper, more rhythmic option for transitions or mid-set building.

Frankfurt-based producer Basti Grub provides the EP’s notable pivot. His rework preserves the original vocal hook but re-anchors the track with a stripped, minimal-techno bassline and a tighter, more subbed groove. The remix trades some of the originals’ uplift for weight and space, making it suited for darker rooms, late-night peak windows, and sets that prioritize low-end pressure and hypnotic repetition.

For DJs and selectors, the EP functions as a small toolbox. Play the original "Feel It" to lift a room and lock in vocal energy; slot "Make My Body Groove" into set segments that demand rhythmic tension; pull the Basti Grub remix when the floor needs to be rewound into a more subterranean mood. The cross-over nature of the release means it can bridge genres in mixed-format sets or provide alternative drops for genre-specific nights.

Availability and purchase options are handled through Beatport, where previews and downloads are listed for DJs wanting quick access to stems or tracks for immediate play. The concise running order and clear production choices make cueing and harmonic matching straightforward in most club contexts.

Came First’s WCF016 demonstrates a continuing trend of records that refuse strict genre boundaries—songs built with house heartbeats and techno discipline. For minimal techno fans who enjoy occasional vocal hooks and for house DJs looking to introduce darker textures, FEEL IT supplies practical material that translates across dancefloors. Expect these tracks to pop up in hybrid sets and playlists where keeping the floor locked while shifting atmosphere matters most.
