Seb Todd, Giuliano (CA) - What U Want [Hear No Evil Records]
***CANCON***
March isn’t quite summer yet — but “What U Want” makes it feel like it should be.
Rolling in with tight tech house drums, a thick bouncing bassline, and a vocal hook that sticks instantly, the track captures that exact moment when winter finally loosens its grip and the city starts to feel alive again. Windows down, longer nights, the first crowded patios — the energy of summer is right around the corner, and this record sounds like the preview.
Built for dancefloors that are warming up for the season ahead, “What U Want” rides a hypnotic groove that never lets up. Crisp percussion keeps the momentum locked while the vocal cuts through with just the right amount of attitude, turning the track into an instant earworm for DJs and crowds alike.
It’s the perfect pre-summer weapon — the kind of tune that makes you wish the sun was already setting at 9PM and the party had nowhere to be the next day. Until then, “What U Want” is here to bring the feeling a little early.

Music is a journey, a journey is about experiences, and experiences are more often than not defined by people.
The universe works in mysterious ways.
It's 2017; Justin Blanc (Justin Rodrigue) was a budding artist from Quebec City and Montreal's Camille (Camille Hamel) is fresh off a release with Toolroom. The pair of them exchanging pleasantries and plan to meet up at the upcoming ADE. Four flights, countless drinks, and zero nights of sleep between the two of them; their plans to meet up in Amsterdam take a swim in the canals.
The very Tuesday they get back Camille is in Montreal, Canada's second-biggest city which is about a 3-hour drive from the province's sleepier capital. "Let's meet up..." Justin tells Cam. Cam starts licking his fingers and flipping through his calendar. "No, today" say's Justin. That's the drive, pun intended, that "Just" has towards his work and this label. Tomorrow is too late. Today, now. With Justin Rome would have been built in a day. They meet up in an undisclosed, super studio that few have ever had the privilege of setting foot in (Camille's parents' basement studio, cough cough).
The pair immediately click.
"It was like I just met someone who I've known for years". The aim of their first meeting was to make music... and music they did not make. "If I were to make you listen to the project files of our fist collaboration you would have to burn my computer," Camille says. "We were to busy in our talks, our conversations, our respect, he was the Yin to my Yang, we complemented each other in ways I didn't think were possible in this industry, and this from day one."
Fast forward two ADE's, some legal paperwork, countless shows, two labels, four artist projects. The duo feels like an unstoppable force when leaning on each other. Their third silent partner gels in perfectly as someone who gives thumbs or thumbs down to their ideas and is more than willing to travel with them when the occasions occur... Purple Tea is more than a label, it's a friendship, it's a meeting place, it's relationships with artists. The label bosses understand that's what made the label what it is in the first place.
For that reason, the Purple Tea family had a new child in 2020, bringing into this world their BLK Leaf imprint. The latter was to expand into the more niche yet growing genres of the underground. They were making so many new relationships and receiving so many demos that they loved but couldn't sign previously that it was just a matter of time before BLK Leaf would take shape.
Some of the Labels' highlights thus far include:
Over 1.5m streams on Spotify as well as many placements on editorial playlists (Housewerk, Groove Theory, Friday Crate Diggers, and many more)
Support from Martin Garrix, Sam Divine, Ben Malone, Kryder, Crazibiza, Demuir, Kiss FM UK, weekly shows on Virgin Radio Montreal with Vito-V and many others.
Numerous top ten's on Traxsource.
Their first ADE showcase in 2019
A live show in Montreal with Angelo Ferreri as the headliner.
Really awesome stories to tell at the dinner table.
Purple Tea is Canada's most exciting dance label at the moment, and that momentum is just starting to grow. Expect big things from them, they are in the business of delivering results.
