Hey there, fellow melody chasers! If you're knee-deep in the electric buzz of Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) right now—or just vibing from your couch with a coffee in hand—you know the scene is exploding with fresh progressive house and melodic house gems. But amid the high-energy drops and festival anthems, sometimes you need a track that hits different: one that wraps you in warm, introspective layers and whispers, "It's okay to let go." Enter "Forgive" by TMPST, Iskarelyn, and ALLKNIGHT. Dropped on Sekora Records just days ago, this collab is a dreamy exhale in a world that's spinning too fast. It's got that perfect blend of soft piano swells, silky percussion, and a vocal so sincere it feels like a late-night heart-to-heart. If you're searching for new melodic house tracks that blend deep house warmth with progressive house soul, this one's your next obsession.
Picture this: You're wandering the rainy streets of Amsterdam post-set, earbuds in, and "Forgive" comes on. The track opens with those ethereal piano notes that echo like forgotten memories, building into a groove that's equal parts chill and captivating. Iskarelyn and TMPST handle the production wizardry, layering in smooth, modern percussion that nods to their deep house roots while keeping things fresh for 2025's progressive house renaissance—think a sound that's creeping back into the spotlight like it did in 2014, all emotional depth and dancefloor-ready builds. Then ALLKNIGHT's vocals slide in, soft and raw, singing about release and redemption in a way that's universally relatable. It's not just a song; it's therapy on the dancefloor, clocking in at around 3:40 of pure, relaxing escapism. No wonder TMPST himself called it a "dream come true"—he's been eyeing a collab with ALLKNIGHT since day one, and releasing it during ADE? Chef's kiss.
Let's talk about the masterminds behind this magic. TMPST, the UK-based producer and DJ, is the glue here. Inspired by heavyweights like Ben Böhmer and Tinlicker, he crafts tracks that tug at your soul while keeping the energy alive. With over 20 releases on labels like Colorize and Chill Your Mind, he's racked up 2 million+ Spotify streams and nods from Above & Beyond, Nora En Pure, and EDX. But TMPST's not just spinning hits—he's shaping the scene as an A&R manager at Spectrum Recordings in London, scouting fresh talent in deep and chill house. Oh, and don't sleep on his TMPST Radio show; it's a monthly must-listen for the best in melodic and progressive house, mixing his own stuff with rising stars. Looking ahead, he's got six tracks locked for 2025 on big labels, plus ten more brewing. This guy's on fire.
Then there's Iskarelyn, the Toronto trailblazer bringing that North American edge. A deep house artist with a hip-hop production backstory, she's all about multi-label vibes and evolving sounds. From her early days blending beats in Toronto's underground, she's grown into a DJ-producer who's all heart—think tracks that feel like city nights under neon lights. Her touch on "Forgive" adds this clean, modern twist that elevates the whole thing, making it perfect for those late-ADE wind-down sets.
Rounding out the trio is ALLKNIGHT, the Glaswegian powerhouse now calling London home. As a melodic house producer, DJ, and singer-songwriter, she's got that Scottish fire in her veins—debuting on Monstercat earlier this year with collabs that scream emotional electronica. Her full producer EP, Should've Known Better, dropped in July 2025 and it's a masterclass in blending vocals with driving builds. ALLKNIGHT's voice on "Forgive" isn't just featured; it's the emotional core, turning a solid groove into something profoundly moving. Hailing from Glasgow's gritty scene, she's proof that melodic house is thriving with fresh, boundary-pushing voices.
What's wild is how "Forgive" taps into October 2025's hottest trends. Progressive house is having a full-on revival, with deep, dark progressives dominating monthly mixes and playlists updating weekly with indie dance infusions. We're seeing more collabs like this one—cross-continental talents merging emotive melodies with subtle drops—that echo the genre's golden era but feel tailor-made for today's mindful ravers. Amid ADE's chaos, tracks like this remind us why we fell for melodic house: it's not just about the beat; it's about the feels. If you're curating your next playlist, slot this in right after a Tinlicker or Fejká cut—it flows seamlessly.
