Frontline, Vol. 15
Barely Human, EICHIMEN, HOOSTAGE, Carlos Vezzoni, Sascha Home
Warbeats Records presents Frontline, Vol. 15, a various-artists compilation landing on 18 September 2026. The five-track set spans Bass House, Melodic Techno and Tech House, bringing four labels debuts alongside one returning artist. It continues the series' function of introducing new names to the catalogue while maintaining a shared floor dynamic across contrasting approaches.\n\nBarely Human opens with 'Take Control', a track built on clipped bass stabs and a rubbery low end that swings with a garage shuffle. EICHIMEN follows with 'Move Your Body', where a vocal chop hook rides dry drum programming and a tight rim pattern. HOOSTAGE 'Oversized' strips the palette to a clipped percussion loop and a narrow stereo groove. Carlos Vezzoni 'Power Recharge' pulls toward melodic tension with robotic, pulsing movement, and Sascha Home closes with 'Lean In', a groovy, driving piece at 124 BPM built for late-set flow.\n\nSascha Home, a Berlin-based producer working with analog gear and modular synthesis, arrives with a career that includes 6 Beatport DJ chart entries, 2 charts appearances across platforms such as Downtempo and Indie Dance, and over 36K streams. EICHIMEN, based in Osaka, brings a Tech House sound shaped by rolling grooves and heavy basslines, with releases on KINDERGARDEN and Warbeats. HOOSTAGE, formerly known as Qwez, returns for his third label appearance with 20 years of underground experience behind his productions. Carlos Vezzoni, an Argentine producer, has seen his work chart on Beatport Hype Top 100 and land on Cicle Records and KND Records. Barely Human, a duo driven by indie dance and tech house, makes their recorded debut with this compilation.\n\nFour of the five artists make their label debut on Warbeats Records through the Frontline series: Barely Human, Sascha Home, EICHIMEN and Carlos Vezzoni all appear on the catalogue for the first time.\n\nThe compilation works across a full night rather than a single slot, shifting from the swung garage energy of its opener to the minimalist groove of its closer. A DJ could draw from it between 124 and 132 BPM, using individual tracks to bridge tempo ranges rather than programming them in sequence.
