Dexter Troy’s ‘Losing’ is the kind of record that instantly feels familiar but still lands with fresh intent. Out now as part of King Street Sounds Summer Selections compilation, it is a deep, late-night roller that channels the label’s legacy while pushing its sound into sharper modern territory.
Built around a soulful male vocal, ‘Losing’ moves with purpose from the very first bar. The groove is tight but fluid, driven by chunky percussion and a bassline that keeps the floor locked in. It nods to classic New York house without leaning on nostalgia, giving the vocal space to breathe and the rhythm room to grow.
There is a warmth in the production that feels distinctly King Street, unhurried, soulful and full of detail. Each element has its place, from the subtle organ stabs that add lift to the deeper low-end movements that carry the energy forward. It is a reminder that great house music does not need to shout to make an impact.
As part of Summer Selections, ‘Losing’ sits alongside tracks from Anthony Mea and new remixes from DJ Spen and Demarkus Lewis, capturing the label’s ongoing influence across deep, Afro and soulful house. But Dexter Troy’s contribution stands out for its clarity of intent. It is house music in its purest form, functional yet emotive, built for the moment when the night reaches that perfect balance between groove and release.
Swiss DJ and producer Dexter Troy has built a strong reputation with releases on King Street Sounds, Mood Funk Records, and Groove Culture, alongside icons like Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer, Masters At Work, Satoshi Fumi, and Dimitri From Paris. For more than two decades, he has shared his passion for electronic music across Switzerland and beyond, blending house, funk and disco with an edge of electro techno to create a sound that is unmistakably his own.
