BRENNAN — Choices

Brennan – Choices is the latest 12-inch offering from Dig This Records (catalogue DTR002), arriving as a five-track tech house EP that balances club-ready momentum with a more reflective side of the producer’s palette. Following the impact of their debut, the Dig This team present a record that, according to the label, should not be overlooked. While Dig This Records’ broader catalogue remains unreferenced, Brennan’s recent output provides a useful frame. Earlier in 2025 and 2026 the artist delivered “Dubble 005” and “Dubble 006” on Dubble, as well as the “Forged Dubs EP” on Shibui and “Goodtunes 004” on Goodtunes, underscoring a prolific period that has caught the ear of major industry figures. Choices continues this trajectory, showcasing the same signature style while revealing a softer, more melodic facet. Side A opens with “Choices”, a track built around tribal drums and a weighty sub-bass that immediately commands the floor. Its summery chord work adds a bright lift, positioning it as an ideal opener for both intimate venues and larger festival moments. The momentum is sustained on “Ditto”, which carries forward the rhythmic drive, offering a seamless transition that keeps the groove intact. Closing side A, “C It” retains the percussive intensity while introducing a slightly more restrained vibe, hinting at the shift that awaits on the flip. Side B turns the focus toward deeper, more atmospheric territory. “Ciao” drifts into a dreamier ambience, drawing on classic deep-house elements that invite a more introspective listening experience, yet it remains rooted enough to maintain dancefloor relevance. The EP concludes with “Ritual”, a track that consolidates the deep-house mood with a subtle, hypnotic progression, providing a fitting close that echoes the earlier tribal energy in a more subdued register. In the context of Brennan’s recent discography, Choices stands out as a bridge between the harder, percussive thrust of the Dubble releases and the melodic nuance explored on the Shibui and Goodtunes outings. It reflects an evolution toward a broader emotional range without abandoning the driving tech-house core that has defined the artist’s recent breakthrough year. For DJs, the record offers two clear functional zones: the A-side delivers tracks ready for peak-time peaks or building tension in a set, while the B-side supplies deeper, mood-setting selections suitable for closing moments or more nuanced transitions. The sequencing encourages a natural flow from high-energy to reflective, making the EP a versatile tool for varied set structures. The release arrives as a 12-inch vinyl, preserving the tactile experience prized by collectors and DJs alike. Its format aligns with the tradition of tech-house releases that benefit from the warm analog playback and the physicality of needle-drop performance.
