A Modern Peak Time Cut with the Heart of Old School House

Lee Coombs & Tara Brooks - Tell Me is out on May 2nd, 2026. The title track sits in a familiar peak-time House lane, but there’s more going on in the details than a straight functional tool. Its central groove is direct and propulsive, though the track’s old-school Techno-soul edge stops it from feeling too clean or too linear. There’s a roughness to the movement that gives it some weight, with enough swing and pressure to hold attention without overplaying its hand.

Lee Coombs’ two remixes take the same material in more specific directions. The Acid Mix strips things back into a darker, more dubbed-out framework, leaning into repetition, space and low-end tension rather than immediate release. It’s the version most clearly aimed at later hours, where atmosphere does as much work as momentum. The Classic Mix turns toward late-'80s warehouse house, pulling out a looser, more open kind of energy. It gestures toward that period’s rawness and uplift without sounding overly referential.

Across the three versions, Tell Me sketches out a small but useful range: peak-time drive, heads-down pressure and a more classic warehouse swing. It’s a concise package, but one that covers enough ground to give DJs a few different ways into the same idea.
