Dexter Troy returns with ‘True Love’, a new release landing on Tactical Records on 21 November 2025, and it feels like a natural extension of a sound shaped by decades on dancefloors rather than fleeting trends. The Swiss DJ and producer has spent over twenty years refining his relationship with house music, and that experience shows through in a track that values feel, groove, and connection above all else.

‘True Love’ leans confidently into funky house territory, built around looping vocal phrases and soulful, gospel-tinged samples that immediately signal its intention. The groove is steady and inviting, designed to pull dancers in rather than overwhelm them. Rather than chasing dramatic breakdowns or exaggerated drops, the track relies on repetition and subtle shifts, allowing its rhythm to settle into the room and do its work over time.

There is a warmth running through the production that feels rooted in Dexter Troy’s background. His long-standing influences across house, funk, and disco are clearly present, but they are filtered through a modern lens that keeps the track relevant for contemporary floors. Touches of electro and tech house sit quietly beneath the surface, adding edge without distracting from the track’s central groove.

Dexter Troy’s career has seen him release music alongside respected names and labels, including King Street Sounds, Mood Funk Records, and Groove Culture, and he shares a lineage with artists such as Kerri Chandler and Masters At Work. That heritage informs ‘True Love’ in subtle ways, particularly in its focus on soul and rhythm as the driving forces of the record.

Out on Tactical Records, ‘True Love’ feels purpose-built for club settings where energy builds gradually, and dancers respond to familiarity as much as surprise. It is a track that rewards repetition, growing stronger as it loops, and one that reflects an artist who understands the power of simplicity done well.

For fans of groove-led house music with heart and history, Dexter Troy’s latest release delivers precisely what it promises.
