Hey music fam, imagine this: the sky is painting itself in warm oranges and pinks, the bass starts to roll in, and suddenly the dancefloor feels like the perfect bridge between golden hour and full-on night mode. That’s exactly the feeling Crusy captures in his brand new release "A Sunset In San Francisco" on Toolroom Records.
This track does exactly what it promises on the tin – and then some. As a proper tech house weapon, it’s built around bouncy drums that keep your feet moving, a warm and rolling low-end that sits perfectly in the pocket, and that cheeky horn hook that just makes you grin. It’s playful, it’s euphoric, and it’s 100% designed for those hands-in-the-air moments when the energy shifts from chill sunset hangs to proper club chaos. If you’re into groove-led house that feels both sophisticated and stupidly fun, this one is an instant add to your playlist.
2026 is shaping up to be another massive year for Crusy. Fresh off releases on Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records and Tony Romera’s House Delivery, the Madrid-based producer is clearly on an upward trajectory. He’s already pulling heavyweight support from names like Carl Cox, Joris Voorn, Mau P, and Dombresky – the kind of backing that tells you this guy is supplying essential club music that actually works across sets and continents.
Let’s talk about the man behind the alias. Mikel (Crusy) started young – really young. Back in 2011, at just 15 years old, he was already mixing records and diving deep into his own productions, completely hooked on electronic dance music. Fast-forward a few years and he caught the attention of David Penn, leading to a remix collab in 2020. But 2022 was the real game-changer: his monster track “SELECTA” on Toolroom Trax got love from Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, and John Summit, followed quickly by “Karma.” Since then he’s linked up with heavyweights like Mark Knight, Low Steppa, and Dombresky (hello, summer smash “El Beso” that stormed the Beatport Top 10). Tomorrowland has already flagged him as one to watch, and with over 80 international shows under his belt recently, it’s clear the sky is the limit for this Spanish talent.
Right now the tech house scene is thriving in 2026, with chunky grooves and feel-good energy dominating playlists and dancefloors worldwide. Tracks like this prove why the genre refuses to slow down – it’s dancefloor functional but still full of personality. “A Sunset In San Francisco” nails that sweet spot: warm enough for terrace sets, bouncy enough for peak time, and memorable enough that you’ll be humming that horn line long after the lights come up.
If you haven’t spun this one yet, do yourself a favor and press play. It’s the kind of record that instantly improves your mood and your set at the same time.
