Press Release: Zealous Records Marks a Milestone with Summer VA
The Zealous Records Summer VA marks four years of Zealous Records championing underground sounds and discovering emerging talent. Known for its signature deep tech, minimal, and refined club sounds, Zealous continues its mission to connect rising producers with global dancefloors through carefully curated releases blending club utility with depth.
Out on 19th June, the Summer VA brings together a line-up of rising European artists, each delivering a track reflecting both personal inspiration and peak-time purpose. With early support from Franky Rizardo, Goosey, Jamie Jones, Ramin Rezaie and a growing list of top-shelf names.
Opening the VA is Zak Cox with ‘Wants You Back. Inspired by 90s vocals and the golden-era house, Zak delivers a nostalgic, infectious track. Wants You Back is a celebration of the old-skool summer, feel-good grooves with warm vibes made for sunlit terraces and open-air sessions.
Next up is from Luca Cucullo’s archives, titled ‘Struggle’ it reflects a fighting drive to reach your goals. It’s an introspective deep-tech cut with serious club impact. The energy of perseverance speaks through the reverberated snares and a raw, evolving rhythm.
Following on from Luca is Ollie Nick, merging minimal, stripped-back percussion with deep house vocal melodies on ‘Feels Right’. It’s a late-night essential, smooth, groove-led, and primed for peak sets—minimal in structure, rich in club atmosphere.
Eros Santisi wrote ‘Mi Lova’ in Italy with just a laptop and headphones, and it radiates carefree holiday energy. With rhythmic vocal chops inspired by Vito’s Keke, Eros weaves catchy hooks into a breezy, melodic groove that captures the essence of summer days and spontaneous nights.
The penultimate track on this special VA comes from Orce Jordanov, titled ‘Ciao Ciao’, a spark of inspiration from his hometown of Rosoman, where Jordanov pays homage to the 1987 hit Buona Sera Ciao Ciao. It reflects instinctive creativity, formed in the flow state over a few hours, blending old-skool rhythms with hypnotic grooves.
The perfect ending to a top drawer VA is Witness Protection with ‘Kind Of Beat’. A deep tech groove reimagined. He experiments with familiar vocal samples, twisting them into unexpected textures while maintaining a body-moving groove. It’s ready for those fully immersed, crowd-moving, floor-filling moments.
