Lee Coombs and Tara Brooks have officially unveiled their latest collaborative effort, Tell Me, set for release on May 2nd, 2026. The title track establishes a commanding presence, firmly rooted in the peak-time house landscape while offering a sophisticated depth that elevates it beyond a standard functional tool.
At its core, the track features a direct, propulsive groove. However, it is the subtle infusion of an old-school techno-soul aesthetic that prevents the production from feeling overly clinical or linear. There is a deliberate, gritty texture to the movement, providing the necessary weight and swing to maintain dancefloor pressure without overstaying its welcome.
The release is further bolstered by two distinct remixes from Lee Coombs, each exploring different facets of the original material. The Acid Mix opts for a darker, more dubbed-out approach, prioritizing repetition, expansive soundscapes, and low-end tension. It is a version clearly tailored for the deeper, later hours of a set where atmosphere is paramount.
Conversely, the Classic Mix draws inspiration from the raw, uplifting energy of late-80s warehouse house. It captures the spirit of that era’s sound without falling into the trap of being overly referential, offering a looser and more open rhythmic structure.
Across these three versions, Tell Me provides a concise yet highly effective toolkit for DJs. By balancing peak-time drive, heads-down pressure, and classic warehouse swing, the package offers multiple entry points into the same creative vision.
