When We Dip: Yamil & Martin HERRS, Enta Houa on Renaissance

Renaissance turns its attention to Spain for REN26164, welcoming the combined artistry of Yamil and Martin HERRS for their first joint outing on the iconic British label. Two of the country’s most compelling producers, both have built reputations on refined, emotive productions that have earned support from a remarkable cross section of DJs, from Solomun, John Digweed and Black Coffee to Dixon, &ME, Rampa and RÜFÜS DU SOL.

At the heart of the release sits ‘Enta Houa’, Arabic for ‘You Are Him’, a title drawn from deep personal meaning. Built for the dancefloor, the track settles into a focused, hypnotic groove while steadily layering tension and atmosphere through the pair’s distinctive sound design. Piece by piece the intensity rises until ‘Enta Houa’ opens out into a genuinely emotional high, the kind of moment that lingers long after the final bar.

The package is completed by a powerful reinterpretation from Mexican artist Mehill, whose work has landed on Innervisions, Just This, Systematic Recordings and Exit Strategy. He reshapes ‘Enta Houa’ into an energetic 4/4 journey primed for peak time impact, offering a bolder, more direct counterpoint to the original.

A British institution since 1992, Renaissance helped define modern dance music through its legendary mix compilations and worldwide events, and it continues to champion both established names and rising talent. With this release, Yamil and Martin HERRS show exactly how to balance creativity and innovation while keeping a clear focus on the floor.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Enta Houa’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
