The featured track this month is a collaboration between Joseph Ashworth and Gorje Hewek, hailing from the UK and Russia respectively. Ashworth is more often seen in the realm of deep and melodic house so we’re stoked to see him team up with an established name in this genre for something trippy, fresh, and refined.
This month we’re hearing some stellar tracks coming from a squad of Russian producers who have earned their way into top ranks of the organic house scene. If you’ve been keeping up with our monthly charts, you’ve seen these names before: Volen Sentir, Izhevski, and Gorje Hewek releasing on labels such as Shanti Radio Moscow, Peace Symphonies, and Ruvenzori. Also in our chart are organic house heavy hitters Lee Burridge, Lost Desert, Roy Rosenfeld, and more so be sure to check out the full list.
We’ve also been hearing the exotic melodic styles of Sebastien Leger and Roy Rosenfeld and the tight, clean production styles of the Russian cohort popping up more and more in releases across the genre. These names have been setting the trends and we’ve given you that cutting edge sound below, so dig in!

What is Organic House Music?
Not sure what defines the sub-genre of organic house?
Throughout the 2000-teens, a few new underground styles were emerging and branching off from the vein of the deep house into what was being called playa tech, deep melodic house, and organica, among others.
It expresses its genetic imprint from deep house while merging with folk-rooted, acoustic sounds of the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa & North Africa, India, and the Mediterranean.
More recently, it has merged again with uplifting and euphoric melodies reminiscent of trance music from the days of old. Beatport arbitrarily slapped a label on all these for categorical purposes, and we’ve been going along with it since then. And don’t worry, even if your house music is non-organic, it’s still safe to consume.
