Hugel Drops New Summer Anthem “Loosen Up”

Hugel Drops New Summer Anthem “Loosen Up”

International hitmaker and Latin house pioneer Hugel releases his brand new single Loosen Up today, teaming up with acclaimed French-American producer Dawty and soulful R&B vocalist Preston Harris for a bold, club-ready anthem engineered for peak summer heat.

With over 1 billion global streams, multiple gold and platinum certifications, and a string of #1s on Beatport, Hugel’s name is synonymous with infectious house records and packed-out dancefloors. “Loosen Up” delivers on all fronts—tight grooves, irresistible percussion, and a hook that invites listeners to drop their guard and move.

Born in Marseille and raised on a foundation of funk, disco, and Mediterranean rhythms, Hugel blends his cultural roots with the high-voltage pulse of Ibiza’s club scene. He’s spent the past decade turning that formula into a global phenomenon—headlining Burning Man, Tomorrowland, EDC Vegas, and holding down residencies at iconic venues like Pacha and Ushuaïa in Ibiza.

Every summer has a soundtrack,” Hugel teased earlier this week. “You’ll find out this Friday.” “Loosen Up” arrives as that soundtrack—full-bodied, tribal, and designed to set the tone for open-air parties, late-night sets, and everything in between.

The track also reunites Hugel with Dawty, whose production credits span icons like Ne-Yo, Nicky Jam, Tory Lanez, and Snoop Dogg. Known for his genre-crossing flair and platinum-selling work in both European and American markets, Dawty once again delivers a sleek, percussive backdrop that elevates the record’s energy without compromising finesse.

Completing the trio is Preston Harris, the San Diego vocalist celebrated for collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Hit-Boy. His smooth, understated delivery on “Loosen Up” grounds the track in soul, creating a perfect tension between rhythmic urgency and emotional cool.

“Loosen Up” is out now on all major platforms.
