Hey, music lovers! If you're knee-deep in the pulsating world of tech house tracks like I am, then buckle up because AJ Moreno just dropped a certified banger that's got my speakers sweating. Picture this: London's gritty warehouse vibes colliding with festival-ready energy, all wrapped in a beat that hits harder than your morning coffee. "What You Know," his latest EP single out now on Her Diamond Dozen, is the kind of tech house music that sneaks up on you, then owns the night. Released just last month on September 26, 2025, this Extended Mix clocks in at 6:04 of pure fire at 129 BPM in B Minor – perfect for those late-night sets where the crowd's begging for more. Who's ready to dive in?
Let's rewind a bit on AJ Moreno, because this guy's story is straight out of a DJ fairytale. Emerging from the shadowy corners of London's underground scene, AJ's been blending house, tech house, trap, and even hip-hop remixes into something explosively unique since his early days. Back in 2015, he headlined Paris's Be Street Festival to a sold-out sea of 5,000 ravers – talk about leveling up! Fast forward to 2017, and BBC Radio 1's Danny Howard hand-picked him to kick off the BBC Music stage at Creamfields. That was huge, but AJ didn't stop there. Over the years, he's shared stages with heavyweights like Dizzy Wright, KOAN Sound, Mosca, Shift K3Y, Tempa T, Yasmin, and Preditah, honing that signature sound that's equal parts gritty and glamorous.
But here's the glow-up: in 2025, AJ's on a roll with fresh releases that scream best tech house 2025. "What You Know" is part of an EP that also features "You Ain't Got It" with Katy Alex, and it's already climbing Beatport's charts – both tracks cracked the top 20 in tech house charts within weeks. His recent drops like "Get Weird," "Mira (Original Mix)," and "She Say (Radio Mix)" show he's not just riding the wave; he's shaping it. Think razor-sharp production with thumping basslines that echo the minimal deep tech influences bubbling up this year, mixed with those trap-infused drops that keep you guessing. In a scene dominated by tech house playlists on Spotify and Apple Music, AJ's standing out by infusing hip-hop swagger – it's like if old-school warehouse raves hooked up with modern festival anthems.
Now, let's talk about what makes "What You Know" such a standout in the new tech house releases pile. From the jump, that gritty synth intro builds tension like a storm rolling in over the Thames. Then – boom – the kick drum lands, driving the track forward with unrelenting groove. The melody? Catchy as hell, layered with vocal chops that nod to his remix roots without feeling forced. It's got that explosive energy he’s famous for: subtle builds that erupt into hands-in-the-air moments, perfect for DJs hunting tech house mixes to spice up their sets. Production-wise, it's crisp and club-ready, with a low-end rumble that'll test your subwoofers. If you're into artists like Chris Lake or Fisher pushing boundaries, AJ's got that same infectious vibe, but with a distinctly European edge. And hey, in a year where electronic dance music trends are leaning harder into hybrid genres, this track feels like the future – trap snares sneaking into the breakdown? Genius.
What I love most is how AJ captures that raw warehouse spirit while scaling it for bigger stages. It's not just a track; it's a mood shifter. Whether you're pre-gaming at home or losing it in a packed club, "What You Know" demands you move. Pro tip: Queue up the Radio Mix for a shorter hit – it's under three minutes of non-stop hype, ideal for your next road trip playlist.
