Dutch producer Stef Davidse makes his debut on Factory 93 Records with Out This World, a three-track EP that explores groove-driven minimal tech, deep house and tech house through the lens of his diverse musical background.
Based in Rotterdam, Stef Davidse has immersed himself in nightlife culture both behind the scenes and in the studio. His studies in Leisure & Event Management and professional experience at influential Amsterdam venues including Shelter and The Loft have given him a firsthand understanding of club culture, while his productions draw additional inspiration from his background in hip-hop and R&B.
The EP opens with its title track, “Out This World,” a jacking minimal house cut built around memorable hooks and tightly controlled arrangements. Soulful vocal phrases drift above layered synth leads, shuffling drums, phaser-heavy fills and airy textures, creating a fluid groove that feels equally suited to intimate clubs and larger dancefloors.
“Out This World” is followed by “To The Moo,” which pushes further into tech house territory. Crisp hi-hats, rolling percussion and immersive spatial effects give the track a more direct dancefloor focus, maintaining the EP’s momentum while introducing a tougher rhythmic edge.
Closing the release, “Do It Right” takes a deeper and more introspective approach. Heavily modulated synths and immersive vocals create a spacious atmosphere, allowing Davidse to explore the more emotive side of his production style without losing the rhythmic foundation that runs throughout the EP.
The three tracks collectively highlight the range Davidse is developing under his own name. His catalog already includes releases on respected underground labels such as Eastenderz, WYLD, You&Me and MicroHertz, while his music has earned support from influential artists including Chris Stussy, Archie Hamilton, Franky Rizardo, Jamie Jones, Josh Baker, East End Dubs, Rossi and Sidney Charles.
That momentum has also translated into an increasingly busy touring schedule. This summer, Davidse is set to perform across the UK and Europe, with appearances at Thuishaven, a WYLD showcase at LAB 11, You&ME and Nexup showcases at Depot Mayfield, and Interval at Glamorama. His schedule also includes performances in Ibiza at Hï Ibiza, Eden and UNVRS.
For Davidse, Out This World represents more than a collection of club tracks; it is a snapshot of the different influences shaping his evolving sound.
“This EP represents a few diverse sides of me. ‘Out This World‘ has this rolling, RnB-inspired vocal house energy it’s a track people have been asking me for for years, and Josh Baker dropping it in his Boiler Room set was a full-circle moment. ‘To The Moo’ is more UK garage/tech-house, built for the dancefloor with a G6-style synth, it’s already been doing damage in my sets. And ‘Do It Right’ is the deeper cut of the three, a bit more of my introspective side. Together they show the range of what I want Stef Davidse to sound like,” says Stef Davidse.
With Out This World, Stef Davidse brings together his R&B-rooted sensibilities, minimal house instincts and club-focused production into a concise debut for Factory 93 Records. The EP offers a strong introduction to an artist whose sound continues to evolve at the intersection of underground house culture and the broader European club circuit.
