Fresh from teaming up with Brazilian house mainstay Julio Torres for new single ‘Thought I Should Go All The Way’, Ketoots continue building on a sound that sits comfortably between groove, melody and leftfield club energy. Released via Notre Dame’s Paranormal imprint, the track pairs hypnotic movement with Carol Monteiro’s magnetic vocal delivery, balancing intimacy with dancefloor momentum.
The duo have steadily carved out a space that pulls from multiple corners of electronic music without feeling tied to any one lane. Disco influences, deeper house textures, tougher club moments and more experimental sounds all surface naturally in their work, and that same variety runs through their listening habits.
For this edition of Hot Picks, Ketoots select ten records currently shaping their playlists and influencing what happens in the studio and behind the decks.
Ninjury – Taste of Honey
"A minimalistic disco-inspired track, two things we love."
The Sound Republic - What Cha Momma Gunnan Say
"Funky grooves and aggressive basslines, all over the place."
Fonda Rae – Livin' In Ecstasy
"The house anthem that is dear to our hearts."
Armand Van Helden – Sugar Daddy
"The only Samba house with stretched vocals that we know."
Funk Assault – Funk Assault
"Banger banger banger, we love techno."
Daphni – If
"Sampling madness, a very angry jazz."
Modjo – Aknowledgement
"Sonic awe, a very youthful track."
Coya, Edu Imbernon – El Baile Alemán
"Minimal tech house at its finest, sound design masterclass."
Alloy Mental – I Am
"Our favorite techno-punk, this one is so cool it hurts."
Los Hermanos – Birth of 3000
"Greatest synth lines, this track has a universe of its own."
Looking through Ketoots’ selections, there is a clear contrast running through the list. Minimal disco sits beside hard techno. Soulful house records sit next to experimental electronics. Groove remains the constant thread tying everything together.
That balance also runs through ‘Thought I Should Go All The Way’. The track feels rooted in club functionality but still leaves room for emotion, melody and personality, pulling together many of the sounds that continue to shape the duo's direction.
