A London native, she has made waves as a producer, with her hit track “The Music” on Armada Subjekt amassing 8 million streams on Spotify. Her latest release, “Muy Loca” on Lee Foss’s Repopulate Mars label, has gained significant support, including from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.

This year marked her debut U.S. tour, where she captivated audiences in Tennessee, New York, San Diego, and San Francisco. As Saffron Stone’s career continues to evolve, driven by her unique style and relentless dedication, she is certainly a name to watch.

Known for her standout, high-energy sets, Saffron creates unforgettable musical experiences. Adding to her impressive repertoire, she has launched her own label, 7 Pot Primo—a project that’s as spicy as the name suggests. With her growing influence and passion, Saffron Stone’s journey is one of continued success and creativity.

Today, she joins us on the podcast again. Listen to it below, on Mixcloud or iTunes here.

Sum up this podcast in 10 words… 
This podcast is a true representation of a high energy Saffron Stone set. 

What’s your personal favourite track on it? 
This is such a hard question but it would have to be Set Me Free by Nic Faniculli, I love the bass and it’s a great twist of the old skl original. 

What’s the special ingredient in this mix? 
I feel like it keeps you on your toes and you don’t know what to expect next. A classic Saffron Stone set haha.

Tell us about your next EP? 
I’m not sure what to put out next but I’ve been working on some exciting new music and collaborations which I can’t wait to share…

What have you got coming up? 
I just played at the WHP in Manchester which was epic and I’m heading off to Ibiza to play the Amnesia Monday’s closing party, I can’t wait! I also now have my US Visa so hopefully some more shows across the pond.

I’ve also been throwing my own 7 Pot Primo label parties in London at the infamous E1 and there will be another one in November which I’m excited to announce.

Previously tipped by MistaJam as one of London’s “finest female DJs”, Saffron Stone has skyrocketed into the upper echelons of the underground tech house world thanks to chart-topping releases on Solotoko and Stress Records, as well as regular support on the airwaves from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard and more.

Now, adding a new string to her bow, the UK-born star heads for Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars for the first time.

“‘Muy Loca’ has been my secret weapon in my sets for a while now, and I’m excited to finally unleash it on Repopulate Mars this September. Inspired by Sak Noel’s iconic ‘Loca People,’ I’ve added my own twist—infusing it with a powerful vocal, an explosive build-up, and a bassline that’s both sexy and addictive. It’s a track that’s made for the dancefloor, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

The sizzling ‘Muy Loca’ is sure to get the sweat flying in any club with its rock-solid kicks that swing low beneath a monstrous bassline while razor-sharp hi-hats cut up the groove. Throw in some steamy vocals and flashy synths, and you have a standout tech house weapon.

Detlef is a bona fide house mainstay with credits on many of the scene’s most revered labels, from Knee Deep In Sound to Defected. With previous key residencies at Jamie Jones’ Paradise nights at DC-10, millions of Spotify streams and countless digital chart toppers to his name, he has long been a name at the vanguard of the house adjacent scenes.

His 2017 ‘Swagon’ single ft. Ossey James represented an early career highlight for the Greek producer, becoming an instant classic when it was first released, topping charts and making its way into influential DJ bags all over the world. Now, it gets updated by Sacramento-based producer and Repopulate Mars favourite Ralf, backed by a fresh ‘24 version from Detlef himself.

Ralf’s remix of ‘Swagon’ pumps the rubbery drums and layers in busy toms and hits that duck and dive beneath the anthemic vocal line before the mind-melting breakdown, which will undoubtedly have dancefloors in raptures all over again.

Fiery vocal stabs bring some rawness as the drums roll on and ensure maximum dance floor destruction. GREG (BR) then goes it solo for ‘Lonely Girl’, delivering a weighty tech house groove with all-consuming bass, rowdy FX and a trippy female vocal up top to round out this most excellent of physical workouts.

Oakland-based Kevin Knapp readies his seventh outing on Lee Foss’s Repopulate Mars label, ‘Sick With It’, an anthemic cut built on fat drums and an all-consuming bassline. The punchy percussion bounce and bobble beneath rubbery chord stabs as a smooth vocal brings an extra edge, hooking dancers in an effortlessly cool and impactful groove.

“I’m absolutely ecstatic to be back on Repopulate Mars. Lee has been so supportive of my music over the years, but I still get a rush of appreciation, awe, and a boost in artistic self-confidence every time he green-lights a release. For me, ‘Sick With It’ speaks to the requisite mindset we need to possess as artists. If you don’t believe what you’re doing is dope, how can you expect anyone else to? Of course, humility is equally crucial, but deep down inside, I think you have to believe you deserve a seat at the table to even sit down. ‘Sick With It’ attempts to give voice to that self-belief.” – Kevin Knapp

Having worked alongside some of house music’s biggest names, from Richy Ahmed to Hannah Wants, Kevin Knapp is a certified house don whose fresh sounds have come on the likes of Cuttin’ Headz, Hottrax, Sola and Dirtybird. He also heads up his own Plump Records, which is run with the underlying mission of radical inclusivity. It is queer-positive, fat-positive, sex-positive, feminist and anti-racist with a focus on centring underrepresented and marginalised voices.

“With this record, I was looking to go back to a style of music that I was first known for…. massive, memorable moment style tracks. With this one, however, I wanted to put a new twist on that sound while exploring a tech house/techno cross over; all centered around a huge melodic synth”.
