Zurich-based duo Read the News return to RaRaLand Records with "Look At Me," a collaboration with HeAndMe from Spain, released on October 16, 2026. It is the label's fourth release, and it heads in what the label calls "a more immediate Indie Dance direction." The track is tagged as progressive house, deep house and bass house, with happy and energetic moods.
A Party Record Built for the Floor
The release notes describe a track carried by a prominent bassline, with vocals that bring a clear 70s disco influence without pushing it too far into retro territory. They also point to a loose, almost playful quality in the production, while the track stays focused on the floor. The idea is movement rather than big dramatic moments.
The label sums it up as "a party record that feels direct, distinctive and hard to stand still to." The happy and energetic moods match that description, and so does the short running time of just over three minutes on Spotify.
Read the News say the track has support from Adriatique, Camelphat, Samantha Loveridge and Marino Canal, among others.
RaRaLand's Growing Catalog
RaRaLand was founded in 2026 and is co-founded and creatively directed by Read the News. The label describes itself as "built around instinct, curation, and identity." Its first release was Read the News' own "Little Jaguar," followed by "Shivers" and "Strawberry." With "Look At Me," the label keeps broadening its sound.
The pairing itself crosses borders as well. Read the News are based in Switzerland, while HeAndMe come from Spain, and "Look At Me" brings both sides together on one record.
About Read the News and HeAndMe
Read the News began their collaboration in Zurich in 2020, producing and performing at events in Switzerland. The duo share a passion for melodic house and techno and actively look for inspiration in other genres. They have shared the stage with Adana Twins, Adriatique, Maceo Plex, Marino Canal, Stimming and more. The name reflects their philosophy: in a world full of external noise, it is important to form your own opinion and take time for new sounds.
HeAndMe have released music on labels such as Anims and Eleatics Records before teaming up with Read the News on RaRaLand.
Final Thoughts
"Look At Me" is a short, bass-driven party record that pushes RaRaLand in a lighter, more playful direction. If you need something upbeat for the weekend, add it to your playlist.
