ASA TATE — Feel So Good EP

Asa Tate – Feel So Good EP arrives on M.A.D Records as catalogue MAD020, a 12-inch vinyl that stakes a claim in the house arena with a quartet of tracks built for the dance floor. The label’s latest offering continues the momentum of its recent output, delivering a fresh burst of kinetic energy that aligns with the imprint’s reputation for club-ready releases. Within the M.A.D catalogue, Feel So Good EP follows a string of 2025-2026 entries such as North 90’s Panorama EP (MAD015) and the series of Lex Wolf’s Lextended Vol.3 (MADE008 and MADE008 NOCOVER). Although the exact chronology is unspecified, the EP sits comfortably among a roster that includes Tino’s Super Hot EP (MAD019) and Dim City’s Volume 1 (Juicy Boy) (MAD018), reinforcing the label’s focus on forward-thinking house productions. Side A opens with the title track “Feel So Good”, a groove that immediately signals the EP’s intent: a rolling, upbeat vibe that invites movement and can serve as a warm-up or peak-time insertion. The follow-up “You’ve Got Mine” sustains the momentum, offering a complementary mood that bridges the first cut’s brightness with a slightly more restrained energy, making it a useful tool for DJs looking to transition between peaks. Side B shifts the palette with “Bok Choy”, a track whose title hints at a fresh, perhaps slightly off-kilter character. Its placement after the A-side pair provides a subtle change of texture while retaining the house backbone that defines the release. The record closes with “UFO”, a final statement that caps the EP with an otherworldly feel, delivering a sense of resolution that works well for ending a set or for looping back into the opening groove. For Asa Tate, the EP sits between two recent 12-inch outings: Replica on Rhythm Section International (RS071LP, 2026) and Love State on Semi Delicious (SEMID022, 2025). Those releases explored melodic and rhythmic nuances within house, and Feel So Good EP consolidates that exploration into a concise, club-focused statement. The record thus reflects an ongoing refinement of Tate’s production style, offering both continuity and a fresh perspective within the artist’s small but potent vinyl discography. In the broader context of contemporary underground house, the EP contributes a set of tracks that balance immediacy with subtle variation. Its four-track format allows DJs to weave the cuts into different parts of a set, from building tension to delivering a satisfying climax. The sequencing—two tracks on each side—provides a logical flow that can be exploited for both linear mixing and more experimental set constructions. From a collector’s standpoint, the 12-inch format offers the tactile and sonic qualities prized by vinyl enthusiasts. The record’s four tracks give ample space for deep groove and dynamic range, making it a valuable addition for those who appreciate the analog warmth of house music. DJs will find the cuts suitable for both peak-time moments and more nuanced transitions, thanks to their consistent house foundation and distinct tonal shifts across the sides. Feel So Good EP is presented as a 12-inch vinyl release, featuring four tracks that together span the full side of each disc. The format supports the intended club-oriented sound, delivering the punch and clarity that house aficionados seek from a well-cut record.
