Brazil has long been a breeding ground for rhythm. From samba to baile funk, groove is woven into the country’s cultural DNA – and in electronic music, that rhythmic instinct continues to shape artists who bring something distinctive to the global stage.
Among the new wave of Brazilian exports making serious international impact is Louth, a DJ and producer steadily building momentum in the Tech House and Minimal / Deep Tech space with clarity, consistency, and underground conviction.
At the heart of Louth’s ascent is a disciplined artistic vision. His sound is groove-led, detail-focused, and unapologetically club-driven. Rather than chasing trends, he has carved out a lane rooted in hypnotic percussion, rolling basslines, and dancefloor functionality. The result is music designed not just to be streamed, but to be played – tested, stretched, and experienced in dark rooms by selectors who understand the power of subtle evolution.
January 30 marked a defining milestone in Louth’s journey with the release of “What’s That” via Decypher. More than just another single, the track completed a sequence of four consecutive releases on the label, making Louth the first artist in Decypher’s history to achieve that distinction – a confirmation that signals more than productivity; it signals trust.
Curated by Australian DJ and producer Wongo, Decypher has built a strong reputation within the global Tech House and Minimal / Deep Tech circuit. The label is known for pushing groove-forward records that resonate with serious selectors and underground crowds alike. To land one release there is an achievement. To secure four back-to-back is a statement.
This run not only reinforces Louth’s creative consistency, but also positions him firmly within an international network of tastemakers who prioritize club functionality and sonic identity. It’s a rare accomplishment that speaks to both his work ethic and the strength of his evolving sound.
“What’s That” perfectly encapsulates Louth’s production philosophy. On the surface, it’s a groove-driven Tech House cut built around tight, rolling percussion, a deep, pulsating bassline, and subtle vocal layers. But its true power lies in restraint.
The repetition isn’t accidental – it’s strategic. Each loop is engineered to feel slightly different on every rotation. Micro-details emerge. Percussive textures shift. Energy tightens. Rather than overwhelming the listener, the track draws them inward, creating an immersive, almost hypnotic dancefloor experience.
As Louth explains: “’What’s That’ was born from the idea of creating a groove that is simple yet powerful. I wanted something hypnotic and repetitive, but with subtle layers that reveal themselves each time it plays. For me, it’s about turning the dancefloor into a living experience, maintaining energy and identity from start to finish.”
That philosophy – simplicity layered with intention – is what separates functional club tracks from forgettable ones. “What’s That” is built for DJs who value tension, patience, and precision. It doesn’t demand attention through gimmicks; it earns it through groove.
Beyond Decypher, Louth’s presence has been steadily strengthening across key platforms. Multiple releases have secured positions on the Beatport charts, further solidifying his credibility within the Tech House and Minimal / Deep Tech categories. In a competitive ecosystem where hundreds of tracks drop weekly, chart traction reflects both DJ support and consistent audience response.
His productions have also landed in Decypher’s official playlists and gained backing from influential platforms like Box of Cats – Box of Trax, amplifying his global visibility. These co-signs matter – not just as marketing wins, but as signals to promoters, curators, and fellow artists that Louth is part of the conversation.
The artwork for “What’s That” carries symbolic weight. Representing Louth’s four consecutive Decypher releases, each track is expressed through a distinct color within a display that reflects the evolution of his musical identity. The cosmic backdrop – filled with stars and planetary elements – underscores expansion. It’s a visual metaphor for music crossing borders, reaching new territories, and orbiting international dancefloors.
More than a celebration, the artwork also conveys gratitude. It acknowledges Decypher and the wider team whose belief and support made this historic run possible. In an industry often driven by individual branding, this gesture reflects a grounded perspective – one aligned with longevity rather than hype.
Currently in a phase of international growth and recognition, Louth appears focused on sustainability. His trajectory isn’t explosive; it’s intentional. Each release sharpens his identity. Each milestone builds infrastructure. Each co-sign extends his reach into new markets.
In a genre sometimes saturated with short-term virality, Louth’s approach stands out. He is crafting underground music with personality – records that reward patient listeners and forward-thinking selectors. The emphasis is not just on momentum, but on credibility.
As Tech House and Minimal / Deep Tech continue evolving globally, artists who maintain a clear sonic fingerprint while adapting to wider audiences will define the next era. With groove as his compass and discipline as his foundation, Louth is positioning himself not merely as a rising name, but as a long-term contributor to the culture.
For those tracking the next wave of internationally-minded Brazilian producers, this milestone run on Decypher may well be remembered as the moment the wider scene took notice.
