Finest Wear’s For The People EP feels like a producer making records for the spaces he knows best: deep rooms, late hours, proper dancers, and DJs who still care about the small differences between a track that plays nicely and a track that actually holds a floor.
Out now on September 4, 2026 on Minor Sounds, the four-track release marks his fifth appearance on the label, and that relationship is starting to feel less like a run of releases and more like a clearly defined corner of his catalog.
The release also now includes a bit more context.
Finest Wear is the creative alias of Cenzo Scoglio, originally from London and now based in the Oxfordshire countryside, where his music has continued to sit in the deeper side of house with a blend of warm textures, rhythmic detail, and melodic feeling. His discography includes releases and remixes on Nordic Trax, Large Music, Plastic City, Delve Deeper, Colour & Pitch, and other international imprints, but the current focus appears to be closer to home: self-releases on his in-house label, Minor Sounds.
That is also why the title works because For The People sounds less like a slogan and more like a reminder of the music’s job. These are tracks built to be played, not overexplained.
The Title Track Sets the EP’s Pulse
“For The People” opens the EP with the cleanest statement of what this release is doing.
It is synth-laden, percussive, and carried by warm analog low end, giving the record an immediate club function without rushing the mood. The energy rolls rather than lunges, which is where Finest Wear’s production tends to feel most natural. He knows how to make a track move without crowding it.
That sense of movement is important because the EP is not trying to blur deep house and garage house into a vague middle. The title track establishes a steady foundation, then lets the synths and percussion shape the atmosphere around it. There is enough control in the arrangement for DJs to work with it, and enough texture for the track to hold up outside the mix.
We covered this artist-label relationship earlier this year in our article on Finest Wear’s Good Vibrations EP, and For The People EP feels like the next step in that same Minor Sounds thread. The sound is still rooted in deep house, but the writing here feels more direct, more DJ-minded, and more focused on how each track earns its place in a set.
“Keep On Lovin” brings the garage side to the fore with smoother-rolling drums powered by the new LM Drum, plus trademark bassline work, synth patterns, and garage-inspired vocal cuts. It is the kind of track that does not need to push hard to create lift.
The swing does most of the work, while the vocal pieces add just enough human texture to keep the record loose.
Minor Sounds Is Becoming the Natural Home
Minor Sounds is the other central piece of this story. For The People EP arrives as MS005, and the catalog is still early enough that each release plays a visible role in defining the label’s identity. With Finest Wear now on his fifth release for the imprint, the relationship feels intentional: deep house and garage influences, warm low end, soulful detail, and music designed for selectors who still want records with feel rather than anonymous club filler.
Finest Wear’s past work also gives the EP more weight. His releases on Nordic Trax, Large Music, Plastic City, Delve Deeper, and Colour & Pitch place him inside a long-running deep house conversation, while Minor Sounds gives him space to build around his own timing and taste. That balance between history and independence is the main reason For The People EP does not feel like a random four-tracker.
It also connects with our earlier article on Searching For Something, where the deeper, more reflective side of his production came forward. For The People EP feels more floor-facing, but the fingerprints are still easy to hear: rounded bass, patient movement, and emotion carried in the groove rather than shouted over it.
For The People EP Lands September 4
Finest Wear’s For The People EP lands September 4, 2026 on Minor Sounds.
The release includes “For The People,” “Keep On Lovin,” “Midnight Kiss,” and “Deep Down,” moving across deep house, garage house, analog bass, crisp drums, rich synth textures, garage-inspired vocal cuts, soulful details, acid movement, and oldskool vocal snippets. It is a focused four-track package from an artist who understands that underground house does not need to overstate itself to work.
The best part of the EP is how clearly it understands its own purpose. It gives DJs four related but distinct records, each with a different point of entry, while keeping the whole thing tied to the same Minor Sounds identity. It is warm, playable, dimly lit, and built with details that reward repeat plays.
For The People is out September 4 via Minor Sounds, with Bandcamp, Traxsource, and Beatport listed for purchase and pre-order.
