Better Than Lex makes an impressive entrance on HoTL with ‘Susurros’, a track that fuses swinging tech house and tribal percussion into a sleek, floor-focused groove. It is a debut that instantly positions the rising artist among serious company, already picking up early support from Fedde Le Grand, Danny Avila, Mark Knight and Nicole Moudaber.
‘Susurros’ wastes no time setting its tone. The percussion is tight and hypnotic, rolling through layers of rhythm while the bassline drives everything forward. It is the kind of track that thrives in dark, late-night rooms where the energy never dips. The production is crisp but unpolished enough to keep its underground edge intact.
Better Than Lex leans into the tribal elements without overdoing them, letting the drums and vocal snippets breathe around the groove. The effect is hypnotic, almost primal, but anchored by clean tech textures that give it crossover potential. There is a confidence to the arrangement that suggests an artist already tuned into what works on a dance floor.
As the debut release on HoTL, ‘Susurros’ fits perfectly within the label’s reputation for cutting-edge house and tech sounds. It is both club-ready and rooted in the underground, drawing influence from the heavier side of tech house while nodding to the tribal traditions that shaped its rhythm.
The title, meaning “whispers” in Spanish, feels fitting. Beneath its driving energy there is a subtle tension that simmers rather than explodes, making it a powerful tool for DJs who know how to build atmosphere rather than chase peaks too early.
For a first appearance on HoTL, Better Than Lex makes a strong statement with ‘Susurros’; a track that blends tribal energy, groove and control with precision.
