Premiere: Artslaves - Body On Point [Issues]

We’re premiering Body On Point, the title track from Artslaves’ new EP, dropping 18 April via Issues.

Known for their precision-crafted grooves and no-frills approach to club music, the Italian duo deliver a stripped-back, moody roller that’s built for dark rooms and late hours. Body On Point rides a hypnotic pulse, with crisp percussion, low-slung bass, and just the right touch of vocal sampling to keep it hooky without overstepping. It’s subtle, effective, and made to slot into long blends - exactly what Artslaves do best.

The full EP offers three distinct cuts. Alongside the original, Detlef steps in with a remix that adds a quirky bounce and extra low-end movement. Where the original leans shadowy and direct, Detlef’s version goes off-centre - pushing the groove into funkier, rubbery territory while staying locked to the floor.

Final track Change brings it back into that moodier zone but adds something more upfront - a catchy vocal topline and glitchy gradience give it a touch of drama. It’s minimal, but with flair, and rounds off the EP with a club-ready finish.

Artslaves have built a reputation for keeping things clean and functional. Their sound sits between minimal tech, deep house and stripped-back tech house - never overproduced, always focused. Releases on labels like Moan, Deeperfect, and their own Uncage imprint have put them on the radar of DJs who value tools over trends.

Body On Point is no exception. It’s not designed to blow up on playlists. It’s made for DJs who know what to do with a well-built roller.
