Way Back EP by Dennis Cruz

One of the most respected names in the global house scene, Spanish DJ/producer Dennis Cruz continues to expand his creative universe following the longstanding success of his solo and collaborative ventures to date. A cornerstone of the Solid Grooves family and a regular on iconic labels like Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels, his latest project signals the start of an exciting new era as he once again showcases his acute ear and innate creativity with a fresh concept for 2025.

Introducing BotaniQ - a new project and platform born from the fusion of nature and sound. Rooted in and inspired by the world around us, the concept reflects Cruz’s vision of pairing music with natural elements, not only through the records themselves but also through a unique series of global label events - the first of which will take place at Lofi Courtyard in Amsterdam on 29th May 2025.

I’m excited to share this brand new concept to the world. BotaniQ is an idea that has no boundaries, meaning that I can showcase all the styles of music that I make, enjoy and play without being restricted to genres. We’ll also bring this idea to the dancefloor, with events designed to focus on the music and people and avoiding unnecessary distractions.

The label’s inaugural release, "Way Back," delivers two slick, groove-laden cuts primed for dancefloors. Both tracks showcase Dennis’ signature deep, rolling energy - a perfect introduction to the direction BotaniQ aims to explore, as the label gears up for a run of carefully curated releases from Cruz and a handpicked selection of collaborators and guest artists in the months ahead.

The launch follows an all-action start to the year for the Madrid-born artist, including a highly anticipated return to Coachella, standout showcases during Miami Music Week, another impressive tour of South America, and further sold-out GOLFOS appearances alongside partner-in-crime PAWSA - reaffirming his place at the top of the international circuit.

More than just a record label, BotaniQ is a creative outlet designed to blur the lines between music and nature into one cohesive vision, bringing immersive sounds into unique, carefully chosen spaces. From open-air venues to unexpected settings, the project aims to heighten the connection between artist, audience, and environment, offering unique experiences that go beyond the dancefloor.
