Macca Grills teams up with fellow producer TESS on "Body Crush," a tech house single with a bass house edge, released on October 16, 2026 through New York independent label Uprise Music. Before it reached streaming services, the track had already been road-tested: Macca Grills says it has been "crushing in live sets all over the past few months," played both by Macca Grills and by other DJs.
Energetic, Sexy and Dark
The moods attached to "Body Crush" are energetic, sexy and dark, which sums up where this track wants to live: a club after midnight. Tech house supplies the steady, rolling groove, while the bass house and electro house influences push the low end harder and give it more bite than a straight tech house tool.
At just over four minutes, "Body Crush" is a compact track that gets to the point quickly.
Tested on the Dance Floor
Plenty of club tracks are released first and played out later. "Body Crush" went the other way, spending months in live sets before its official release. That kind of field testing is a good sign for a track built around energy. Uprise Music describes itself as an independent record label "for the next wave of electronic music," and "Body Crush" fits that profile. If you like this harder-edged side of tech house, ATR's "Get The Money" mixes tech house and bass house in a similar way.
