KONEKT Gets “Zooted” With LVLD Music

KONEKT’s “Zooted” is built around a simple idea: make the room move.

The producer and DJ has more than 15 years behind the decks and over a decade of music production behind him, and that experience shows in the way the track is being presented. This is not a concept-heavy record trying to explain itself into relevance. It is club music built around bounce, bass pressure, and a rhythm that feels easy to imagine working after dark.

Released with LVLD Music Group, “Zooted” follows recent activity from KONEKT that includes fresh releases with G-Mafia and Mustache Crew, plus an artist spotlight tied to Space Taco Tuesdays at The Basement Pomona. That context helps place him inside an active Southern California club circuit, where records still need to work in real rooms before they can mean much online.

That gives “Zooted” the right mood immediately. It is playful, a little grimy, and built for movement.

The track leans into bounce first

The track is described as “a classic rhythm to make your feet move,” with an upbeat, bouncy feel and a bit of West Coast hip-hop zest.

That combination gives “Zooted” its personality. The house foundation keeps it grounded, while the West Coast touch gives it a looser edge. The track seems more interested in getting bodies moving quickly than in keeping the pressure light enough for the groove to breathe.

That kind of approach fits where bass house and UKG-adjacent club music have been sitting for years: fast enough to hit, swung enough to avoid stiffness, and simple enough for DJs to place in a set without derailing the room.

For a related corner of that sound, our article on Beatport adding Bass House as a genre category still provides context for why this sound became its own ecosystem rather than staying buried under broader house or electro labels.

The UKG and hip-hop pull gives it personality

A lot of bass-house-adjacent records can sound interchangeable when the low end becomes the entire personality. Adding a little West Coast bounce gives “Zooted” a more regional flavor, even if the track stays rooted in house.

That is also where the UKG reference from KONEKT’s artist spotlight helps. UKG influence often shows up less as a direct genre label and more as a feel: bounce, swing, clipped vocal movement, and rhythms that avoid a stiff four-on-the-floor pattern.

For producers chasing that sound, our article on free UK Garage sample packs is a good entry point into the drum and groove language that keeps the style moving.

“Zooted” seems to pull from that same rhythmic instinct without losing the directness of a club track.

“Zooted” is out now

KONEKT’s “Zooted” is out now with LVLD Music Group.

The release adds another piece to an active run from the Southern California artist, who has been tying new music to live shows, venue spotlights, and a sound built around bass-heavy movement. The track’s best quality is its lack of overthinking. It is upbeat, bouncy, and built to make people move, with enough West Coast character to keep it from feeling anonymous.

KONEKT’s next reported LVLD release, “WORTH,” may bring more house bounce with an R&B touch. For now, “Zooted” gives the current campaign a direct club record with a clear job: get in, lift the room, and keep the night moving.
