Luv Glissant Announce No Longer In Control With Vinyl to Follow on Whiskey Pickle

Luv Glissant land on Whiskey Pickle Records with No Longer In Control, a four-track release that arrives digitally on February 27, 2026. It carries the catalog number WP051, and it is also slated for vinyl, with the vinyl date still to be announced.

The release sits in the overlap between deep house, electronic, and cosmic disco, which makes sense for Whiskey Pickle’s lane, since the label has always leaned toward records that can work in a set while still leaving space for left turns in rhythm and tone.

If you are coming to this fresh, the quickest way to understand the project is to look at how the duo works. Luv Glissant is the collaboration between producer Sol Glissant and DJ and selector luvcreatexplore, and their identity is tied to a hardware-based workflow that starts as performance rather than assembly.

A session-driven workflow that favors real movement

Luv Glissant build each track from extended live sessions using analog synths, samplers, and drum machines. That matters because long takes force decisions in real time. You commit to timing, you commit to sound selection, and you let the groove develop across minutes instead of bars. When it works, it creates tracks that hold up across longer blends, because the motion lives inside the performance rather than being pasted together from repeated sections.

From there, the duo edits the recordings into finished arrangements.

The key detail is that the editing is meant to shape structure without flattening the feel of the original takes. For DJs, this tends to translate as records that carry small variations across the runtime, so the mix stays interesting while the low-end stays stable. For listeners, it usually means the track retains a human sense of push and pull, even when the production is clean.

That combination of performance capture and tight editing is also a practical way to keep output consistent across multiple releases, and the project already has more music lined up after this EP. It reads like the start of an active run, not a one-off drop.

Four tracks, four entry points

No Longer In Control arrives as a full four-tracker: “No Longer In Control,” “Kagurazaka,” “Jazz Of The Jungle,” and “Lets See What Happens.” I like that structure for a new project because it gives DJs more than one way in. Instead of pinning everything on a single title track, you get four separate opportunities to find the cut that fits your set’s pacing.

The naming also signals range without forcing a narrative. It lets the music do the work, and it fits the label’s catalog habits, where releases tend to function as DJ tools first, then as repeat listens at home. With the digital date set and the vinyl timeline coming later, this release should circulate in playlists and USBs first, then continue its life once physical copies land.
