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.
