Some records demand attention through sheer intensity; others earn it through craftsmanship. Give Me What Was Mine, the debut EP from Ander Race on W, firmly belongs to the latter. Released on June 26, 2026, this three-track collection captures an artist who understands the subtle art of tension, groove and melodic storytelling, delivering a release that feels equally suited to intimate club settings and expansive festival moments.
The journey begins with “Give Me What Was Mine”, a captivating opener that immediately immerses the listener in a hypnotic blend of rolling low-end, crisp percussion and evolving harmonic textures. The vocal contribution from Diana (IT) brings a powerful emotional dimension, adding warmth and personality without overwhelming the production. Acid-infused synth lines slowly emerge beneath rich house chords, creating a dynamic progression that constantly evolves while remaining effortlessly danceable.
With “Lovin’ U”, Ander Race shifts towards brighter emotional territory. Organic percussion, elegant chord stabs and shimmering melodic details combine to produce one of the EP’s most memorable moments. The restrained vocal work and subtle flute phrases inject an almost Balearic character into the production, allowing the groove to breathe while maintaining an undeniable sense of movement. It’s a track that feels as comfortable during a golden-hour beach set as it does inside a packed warehouse.
The closing chapter, “Recovered Soul”, explores deeper, more atmospheric textures without sacrificing rhythmic impact. A restless bassline drives the composition forward while glowing synths and carefully layered effects gradually build emotional intensity. Every transition feels deliberate, culminating in a final breakdown that delivers a satisfying release before gently bringing the EP to its conclusion.
What makes Give Me What Was Mine particularly rewarding is its consistency. Rather than presenting three disconnected ideas, Ander Race constructs a coherent listening experience where each track complements the next while revealing different aspects of his musical identity. It’s an accomplished debut for W, demonstrating that technical precision and emotional sensitivity can coexist naturally within contemporary house music. If this EP is any indication, Ander Race is entering a particularly exciting phase of his artistic journey.
