Cinthie’s “Get Up” on Heist Recordings is a confident, feel-good EP that channels classic house energy into a modern, highly playable package for 2025. Centered around three originals and a standout remix, the release underlines why Cinthie remains a go-to name for DJs who value groove, warmth and club-ready hooks.
Opening track “Deep Inside Love” leans into rich chords, emotive textures and an affectionate nod to early house, giving the record a heartfelt entry point that still feels fully geared for busy dancefloors. “Higher” turns the intensity up with more driving drums and lively stabs, pushing the energy into peak-time territory while keeping the arrangement direct and DJ-friendly. Title cut “Get Up” then ties the EP together, rolling out a tight combination of percussion, dubbed vocal elements and lush strings to deliver a track that works equally well as a set-builder or a mid-set highlight.
On remix duties, London producer Demi Riquísimo steps in to rework “Higher,” bringing his own flavor as head of the Semi Delicious imprint and a recognized figure in contemporary underground house. His version leans into golden Detroit-tinged chords, searching leads and punchy drums, turning the original into a sophisticated, heads-down club moment while keeping Cinthie’s core idea intact. Together, the originals and remix give the EP a rounded feel that will appeal to heads chasing timeless house as well as DJs seeking something fresh for late-night sets.
Heist Recordings, the Amsterdam label founded by Dam Swindle, provides the ideal home for this release, building on a catalogue that has introduced and supported artists such as Frits Wentink, Fouk, Kassian and more across nearly one hundred releases. Known for championing high-quality underground house and electronic music, the label has become a trusted outlet for both collectors and working DJs, with Cinthie a returning family member following her previous “Piano Heaven” EP. This new chapter with “Get Up” reinforces Heist’s role as a hub for forward-thinking yet accessible club records that stand the test of time.
