With over 25 years of influence in the Brazilian electronic music scene, Leo Janeiro has left an indelible mark with residencies at iconic venues such as Warung Beach Club, D-Edge's Freak Chic, and Beehive Club, showcasing his eclectic blend of deep, soul, funky, and disco influences. Fresh from his stellar b2b with label boss The Check Up during Heattraxx's tenth-anniversary celebration at Watergate in Berlin, the Rio de Janeiro mainstay unveils "Dreaming" - a sun-drenched release on the exciting imprint, enriched by remixes from DJ Merci and Simon Shaw who each bring their own distinctive flavor to the table.

Blending rich textures and attention-grabbing builds, "Dreaming" whisks listeners away to a realm of soulful bliss, where its timeless charm creates the perfect backdrop for a warm and nostalgic summertime beat. Back on Heattraxx, DJ Merci offers a jackin house twist, boosting the bass with a thumping groove and blending more funk-infused rhythms. Closing the package, London-based Simon Shaw takes a bold turn, exploring late-night territories with hypnotic leads, deep kicks, and quirky synths to deliver another standout remix.
