Hey everyone, imagine stepping onto a packed dancefloor where the bass hits so hard it vibrates through your chest, while soaring '90s-style trance melodies lift you straight into euphoria. That’s exactly the rush Kyle Starkey delivers with his latest single “Do You Love,” released on HARD Recs and already turning heads in the electronic scene.
If you’ve been craving that classic rave energy updated for today’s clubs and festivals, this track is it. Kyle Starkey, the 24-year-old producer and DJ from Ellesmere Port in North West England, has been on an absolute tear since discovering his love for hard house and trance back in 2023. What started as digging through old Trade nights and Tidy Trax classics quickly turned into a full-blown mission to bring those sounds back to the main stage — and he’s doing it with serious skill.
“Do You Love” is full-throttle hard house infused with raw trance euphoria. Expect driving rhythms, massive basslines that punch through the mix, and those soaring, hypnotic leads that make you want to throw your hands up. The production feels polished yet raw, perfectly balanced for peak-time sets where the energy never dips. It bridges modern rave intensity with nostalgic '90s vibes, creating something that feels both fresh and familiar. No wonder it’s already gaining traction on Beatport and Spotify, with plays climbing fast.
Kyle’s background makes his sound even more authentic. Growing up, his dad blasted piano house and rave tunes on the school run, while his mum and aunt were all about chart-topping house and Eurodance. Family videos apparently show young Kyle dancing to Beyoncé Freemasons remixes. Later, his uncle introduced him to synth pioneers like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, and Jean-Michel Jarre, sparking that early fascination with electronic textures and melodies. Once he fell down the rabbit hole of '90s hard house legends like Tony De Vit, everything clicked.
Since then, Kyle has released on respected labels including Tidy Trax, Disorder, Agrio Tracks, Southern Fried, and Bebé Recordings. He’s collaborated and played back-to-back with names like Sam Alfred, Diffrent, and Faster Horses. His gigs have taken him across Europe, Australia, and now he’s locked in for major 2026 festivals like Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Hideout, and more, with US dates reportedly on the horizon. At just 24, he’s already a firm favourite for crowds who want their dance music fast, euphoric, and unapologetically fun.
Right now, the electronic scene is seeing a real resurgence in harder, faster sounds. Hard house, progressive elements, and trance-tinged euphoria are back in a big way, especially among newer generations hungry for that lifted, hands-in-the-air feeling. Tracks like “Do You Love” capture that perfectly — they’re built for sweaty clubs, festival main stages, and late-night warehouse raves. Kyle isn’t just riding the wave; he’s helping shape it, always conscious of the genre’s roots while adding his own modern twist.
The result is music that feels alive and purposeful. When you press play on “Do You Love,” you can almost picture the lights flashing and the crowd losing it during that massive drop. It’s the kind of track that makes you wonder — wait, why did we ever move away from this energy in the first place? Kyle’s signature style of blending bass house power with trance emotion and electro house edge delivers exactly what dancers have been missing.
If you’re into high-energy electronic music that combines Bass House punch, Electro House drive, and Trance euphoria, Kyle Starkey is a name you need on your radar right now. “Do You Love” is out now — go stream it on Spotify, check the full release on Beatport, and get ready to feel it in the club.
