Tilman drops Keep In Touch on Pleasant Systems, a label that has quietly built its name over the years by digging into deep house roots and proto influences, earning respect from DJs who crave that authentic underground pulse. This EP arrives right on February 6, 2026, packing five tracks that pull from the label’s own catalogue, reworking them into something fresh yet deeply familiar for anyone tuned into house’s evolution.
Tilman, a name that’s been lighting up selectors’ crates for ages, takes charge here with total control—writing and producing every cut. He reshapes these pieces into floor-tested weapons, starting with Everybody in its House Mix form, where the groove locks in tight and pulls you straight to the center of the room. It’s the kind of track that builds tension through relentless drive, making crowds move as one without any tricks, just pure momentum.
From there, Days Like This in the Pleasure Mix shifts the energy into something warmer, more inviting, yet still edged with that club insistence that keeps feet planted and hands in the air. Tilman layers in elements that echo late-80s house sparks, but he sharpens them for today’s sets, turning potential fillers into peak-time anchors. On The House, tagged as Third Round, hits with percussive force, stripping things back to essentials that hit harder in dim-lit spaces where the real action unfolds.
The Jam Experience arrives in Emotions Mix, channeling vocal snippets and rhythmic builds that capture the raw thrill of a packed basement party, the sort of underground gathering where house first caught fire. Closing out is Pumpin in its Deep Mix version, a relentless pumper that embodies the unfiltered joy of the genre, designed for those marathon nights when the energy refuses to dip.
What stands out across these five is Tilman’s knack for blending deep house warmth with proto-house punch, all infused with a subtle New York City edge that feels lived-in and urgent. Pleasant Systems has always championed this territory, fostering releases that speak directly to DJs spinning for discerning crowds—those who know the difference between surface-level beats and the kind that burrow deep. Keep In Touch doesn’t chase trends; it reignites the fire that draws us back to house’s core, offering tracks that demand rotation in sets from smoky warehouses to hidden afterhours spots. For fans and spinners chasing that elusive underground spark, Tilman delivers exactly what’s needed to keep the flame alive.
