GURU continues its forward momentum with a fresh collaboration that hits straight at the heart of the dancefloor. For this release, label boss Temple Tears teams up with Argentinian duo Mad Lads on ‘Echo’, a high-impact cut designed for peak-time moments and hands-in-the-air reactions.

Driven by a rolling, groovy bassline, ‘Echo’ wastes no time setting its energy in motion. The rhythm is tight and propulsive, locking into a confident stride that feels both playful and powerful. At the center of the track sits its defining hook — a pitching, falling lead that instantly grabs attention and refuses to let go. Paired with a vocal motif that repeats, loops, and lands with precision, the track turns simplicity into its greatest strength.

There’s a sense of fun woven throughout the production, but it’s carefully balanced with club-ready weight. Temple Tears and Mad Lads understand exactly how to manipulate tension and release, allowing ‘Echo’ to build momentum without ever losing its grip on the groove. The result is a track that feels tailor-made for crowded rooms and late-night sets, where repetition becomes a weapon and familiarity fuels impact.

Out Friday on GURU, ‘Echo’ marks a sharp collaboration between two like-minded forces focused on movement, energy, and connection on the dancefloor. You can listen to the full premiere exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
