RatiQuest's Showcase
Showcase is where RatiQuest shines a spotlight on music from all genres around the world.

Heavy-hitting guest appearances include Grand Theft Auto alum Moodymann, Three 6 Mafia’s Gangsta Boo, and longtime collaborator ScHoolboy Q, with the trio of tracks featured across the blockbuster GTA Online updates The Contract and Los Santos Tuners.
THE ATTENTION DEFICIT EP
A true showcase of Skream’s diverse production sounds, The Attention Deficit EP features four heavy-hitting tracks, including worldwide club sensation The Attention Deficit Track with Jackmaster alongside its extended Terrace Mix; the atmospheric, breakbeat-infused Floral; and the ’80s-influenced electronics of Track 3 with rising star Jansons.
ON MY OWN NOW
DJ Tennis returns to CircoLoco Records after his Monday Dreamin’ entry Atlanta, teaming up with production partner Ashee for a smooth deep house track laced with slick vocals from rising pan-African star Lady Donli – a tropical two-track release, with a more upfront Acid Dub, better suited for late night and early morning dancefloors.
ANYWAY
Across more than a decade, the close-knit group of German producers and DJs has built a reputation for legendary all-night parties and high-quality underground dance music delving into the deeper realms of house and techno.
Showcasing the Weimar group’s sophisticated and forward-thinking approach, ANYWAY – CircoLoco Records’ debut vinyl-first release – features entries from Giegling collective artists The Ghostbusters, Edward, Leafar Legov, Adi, and Map.ache.
INTRO
Chloé Caillet’s hotly anticipated debut EP, Intro deftly showcases the musical range of the rising Parisian star, blending multiple genres and styles for a truly breakthrough release.
Intro features the hit singles, NYWTF feat. Mikhail Beltran and Know Now feat. Poté, along with three new releases: the classic house-meets-cumbia banger, In the Middle; and the Latin-tinged Quieres two-parter featuring the club-focused Part 1 and beachside-ready Part 2 with Kaleta.
WORLD IS EMPTY
World Is Empty reunites British visionary and CircoLoco Records alum, Skream with his longtime collaborator Jansons for a breakbeat-fueled instant classic, featuring an iconic sample from The Supremes over a driving electro bassline.
JEALOUS
Jealous from Brazilian house music maestro, Mochakk, puts bright percussion and a winding bassline under an unforgettable sample from Lolleatta Holloway’s ’77 classic, Dreamin’ to make a modern, roof-raising update to sounds straight from the heart of classic Chicago house music.
CASH FOR LOVE
Built around a classic Italo house sample from FPI project, Cash For Love perfectly encapsulates Carlita’s eclectic approach to house music, and is a highlight of her current world tour sets.
