Viktop has been building one of the more quietly compelling stories in American organic house. Originally from Miami, where he spent years as a resident at the much loved Do Not Sit On The Furniture, he now calls Denver home and holds a residency at Zodiac Hause. His sets are built on warm melodies, groovy basslines and a sharp instinct for reading a room, and over the past couple of years he has carried that same feel into the studio, with music landing on Satelite Records, Dialtone Records, Anoka and, most consistently, Loot Recordings.

Loot Recordings is where Viktop feels most at home. Founded in 2014 by DJ and producer Kered, the New York City imprint has spent more than a decade championing deep rhythms and electric melodies, gradually moving from its melodic and tech house roots toward the organic and melodic house sound it is known for today. Viktop first appeared on the label with the ‘Virtuous Strawberry’ single in 2024 and contributed ‘Dreaming Of The Day You Take Me With You’ to The Goods, Vol. 7 last year, so his return for the imprint’s 68th release feels like a natural next chapter.

‘Mile High Dreams Of You’ lives in the space between tension and release. A rolling bassline sets everything in motion while hypnotic arpeggios circle overhead and potent synth stabs cut through a bed of warm pads. The arrangement always seems to be heading somewhere, yet it never rushes to get there, and that patient build is exactly where the pleasure lies. This is a track made for the moment the floor locks in and the lights drop a little lower.

The package is completed by two remixes that pull the original in very different directions. Nhii strips things back and toughens them up, with harder hitting drums, sharp hi-hats shimmering against dubby delays and sounds drifting in and out of focus for a wonderfully trippy ride. Ayala (IT), a familiar face on Loot Recordings, goes the other way, wrapping frenetic bleeping arpeggios around lush keys and locking them into an intricate, relentless groove that takes on a life of its own.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Mile High Dreams Of You’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
