Hot Picks: Elbio & Denis Share 10 Minimal And Tech House Tracks Driving Their Sets
Milan-based duo Elbio & Denis are taking the next step in their musical partnership with the launch of No Eyes On Us, a new label dedicated to their club-focused sound. Having started working together in 2025, the pair have quickly established a shared approach to production, combining rolling basslines, intricate percussion and carefully crafted sound design across the deeper reaches of tech house and minimal.
Their productions have already appeared on labels including Metamorfosi, Criterio Music, Deeperfect and Moan, while their DJ appearances have taken them to venues such as UNVRS, Fabrik Madrid, Hï Ibiza, Space Riccione and Amnesia Milano.
The duo inaugurate No Eyes On Us with ‘One Shot’, a two-track EP showcasing different sides of their sound. The title track builds around a rolling low-end groove, crisp percussion and twisting synth textures, while ‘We’re Alive’ introduces brighter, 90s-inspired vocals, shimmering rhythms and rising chords for a more uplifting, peak-time feel.
For their Hot Picks, Elbio & Denis share ten tracks currently finding their way into their sets. From deeper opening selections and stripped-back grooves to bass-heavy dancefloor favourites, their choices offer a closer look at the sounds and production details that keep them coming back for more.
Joe Vanditti, White Off – In My Head [Short Circuit Records]
“A minimal deep track that we really love to include at the start of our sets.”
Blaise Bracic – Closer [getbusy]
“It’s perfect at the start of the set, with a lovely bassline and vocal interplay that blend together beautifully.”
Detlef, Ossey James – Swagon (Tony Romera Remix) [Repopulate Mars]
“A groove that really gets the dancefloor going, and the vocals are taken from a track we absolutely love.”
Ruggier – SLW [TNT (TAKE NOTES TRAX)]
“We absolutely love the way the bassline and glitches have been put together. It’s a track we often play.”
Szenders – Confessions [Nervous Records]
“Every time the bass kicks in on this track, the dancefloor goes wild.”
Pheelo – Need That [Criterio Music]
“A track that makes a massive impact on the dancefloor. We’ve never got tired of it.”
Sonny Kane – Never Leave U [Boat Club Records]
“We love the original sample in this track. It’s absolutely brilliant.”
Shiba San, Zack Darza – Touch Me [Toolroom Trax]
“Synth basslines that blend together perfectly. We really like them!”
Chopper (UK) – Gifted One [neXup recz]
“A perfect track halfway through the set to slow things down. A cracking break.”
Eskuche, Aaron Pfeiffer – BUSY [Issues]
“A track that takes you on a lovely journey through bass and synths.”
Across their selections, Elbio & Denis demonstrate an appreciation for the smaller details that make a club record work. Whether it’s a carefully placed vocal, an unexpected break, a tightly programmed bassline or a groove that immediately connects with the crowd, their choices reflect a sound built around precision without losing its physical impact.
That same balance runs through ‘One Shot’, where stripped-back production and dancefloor energy come together to introduce No Eyes On Us. With the label now underway, the duo have created a new platform for the sound they have been developing together.
