Sven Wegner – Some Better Place (Blur Records)

Sven Wegner delivers a powerhouse EP with Some Better Place on Blur Records, packing 11 tracks that capture the essence of deep house and nu disco/indie dance in one irresistible package. This release dropped on January 16, 2026, and it’s already turning heads among DJs who crave that underground edge. Wegner, a seasoned producer with a knack for crafting grooves that pull you into the dancefloor fray, teams up with collaborators Reiner Von Vielen on “The Time Is Now” and RAJ on “That Feeling,” adding fresh layers to his signature style. Blur Records, established as a go-to imprint for discerning electronic music heads, has built its reputation over the years by championing artists who blend deep house warmth with nu disco flair, always keeping things authentic and floor-ready.

From the opening strains of “Some Better Place,” Wegner sets the tone with a drive that feels both intimate and expansive, perfect for those late-night sets where the crowd hungers for connection. “Surco De Sopa” follows with a playful twist, injecting nu disco energy that demands repeat spins in any discerning crate. Tracks like “Proud and Pretty” and “The Saint” lean into deep house territory, their rolling progressions building tension that erupts into pure elation, ideal for DJs bridging peak-time moments. Then there’s “Good Loving You,” an extended journey through indie dance rhythms that keeps the momentum surging without ever letting up.

Wegner’s command shines through in “Gonna Nuts Right Now” and “When I Would,” where the nu disco pulse hits with unfiltered intensity, evoking those hidden warehouse raves that define the underground. “Pour Vous Tous” brings a sophisticated edge, while “Believe Me It’s Good” closes the deep house side with conviction. The collaborations elevate the whole: Reiner Von Vielen’s touch on “The Time Is Now” adds a collaborative spark that feels urgent and alive, and RAJ’s input on “That Feeling” infuses it with a magnetic pull that’s hard to resist. This EP thrives on Wegner’s ability to weave personal expression into communal dance experiences, making every track a weapon for selectors who prioritize feel over flash.

For house and techno faithful, Some Better Place stands out as a testament to Wegner’s evolution, blending deep house subtlety with nu disco’s bold strides. Blur Records continues its streak of spotlighting talent that resonates in clubs from Berlin basements to global afterhours. DJs will find endless utility here—mixes that transition seamlessly, peaks that ignite crowds, and valleys that build anticipation. Wegner proves once again why he’s a staple in the scene, delivering music that captures the raw thrill of the underground while inviting everyone deeper into the groove.
