Déepalma Records is back on September 12th with a release that will set late-summer dancefloors alight: Long Way, the latest offering from German DJ and producer Kai Hillmann.

The track is a masterclass in balancing depth and uplift — an underground cut that pulses with fat, rolling basslines, wrapped in funky guitar licks, piano infusions, and an inimitable vocal that lingers long after the drop. Picking up on the label’s signature early Déepalma vibes, Long Way channels that sun-drenched house energy while carving out its own unique flair and atmosphere.

Known for lush melodic grooves and emotionally rich sets, Hillmann has long been a fixture in underground circles, from Berlin’s Sisyphos and Kater Blau to far-flung beach stages in Mexico and Bora Bora. After taking time to recalibrate creatively, he’s now back in full force — and Long Way feels like the sound of an artist hitting a new stride.

Out September 12th on Déepalma, Long Way is primed as a must-have for closing parties across Europe’s summer season — deep, happy, and unforgettable.
