Bart van Rijn delivers hypnotic tribal workout with ‘Lovebirds’, featuring a standout remix from Ackermann
Between relentless layering and zippy tribal beats, Bart van Rijn continues to craft sticky dancefloor workouts filled with tension and finesse — the kind that wouldn’t sound out of place on Tribal America. His sound palette leans heavily on hypnotic percussion and driving tribal rhythms, and his latest release, ‘Lovebirds’, is a perfect showcase of that formula.
The original finds the Dutch producer in top form: clever drumwork, shimmering synths, and a full-bodied groove designed for discerning dancefloors. Energetic, potent, and unapologetically rhythmic, ‘Lovebirds’ is a battle weapon built to keep the night rolling at a devilish pace.
On remix duties, Ackermann delivers a moody and refined rework. Still riding the momentum of his acclaimed The Feeling That Brought Me Here LP, he joins a long roster of carefully curated STUG remixers — a list that has previously included Rhadow, Perel, Dense & Pika, Skudge, Kiwi, Gerd, and Works of Intent, among others.
Ackermann’s interpretation leans into weighty chords and really flexes once the synths return to the spotlight. Inviting and warm, his version is a versatile tool tailored for that endlessly exciting stretch between warm-up and peak time.
As always with STUG releases, the package is sharply crafted, flowing with ease while showcasing both producers’ mastery of rhythm, texture, and machine-driven groove.
Release date: December 12th, 2025.
