Steve Lawler, one of the UK’s most enduring and influential underground house artists, makes his debut on Ulu Records with new single, ‘Away.’

For more than three decades, Lawler has been a defining presence in the underground house scene, building a career around an instinctive understanding of the dancefloor and an uncompromising commitment to the underground.

Throughout his career, Steve has remained remarkably consistent and his releases have gained support from industry heavyweights including Pete Tong, Carl Cox, John Digweed, Marco Carola, Luciano and Joseph Capriati to name just a few, while his work as a label owner has helped shape and champion the underground sound for decades.

Now, Steve’s journey brings him to ULU for the first time with ‘Away.’

A classic Steve release; deep, understated and built around a rolling groove and melody. It carries the unmistakable tension and energy of a record with the dancefloor firmly in mind. There’s no unnecessary excess; every element has its place, allowing the groove to do the work as the track builds towards peak-time territory.

It’s the kind of record that doesn’t need to demand attention, it earns it. Timeless underground house from an artist whose career has been built on understanding exactly what makes a dancefloor move.

‘Away’ is available here.
