Essex-born house talent Beave continues his rapid rise with “1997,” a punchy new club record that marks his debut on RUZE’s Staff Only Records. Arriving Friday, August 28, the release follows a breakout year that has seen Beave earn Ibiza support, appear at major clubs, and generate millions of impressions online.
Built around weighty synths, infectious percussion, and garage-tinged rhythms, “1997” channels Beave’s club-focused sound into a groove-heavy house cut designed for the dancefloor. Its rolling low end and bold production strike a balance between underground energy and immediate appeal, showcasing the sound that has been turning heads across clubs, festivals, and online.
Speaking about the release, Beave says:
“Absolutely buzzing to be releasing this track with the RUZE lads and on a label I’ve been supporting + listening to since its birth last October! It’s been an important part of my growth as an artist and this couldn’t have been a more perfect fit for the record.”
Hailing from Essex, Beave has spent more than a decade refining his sound and is now emerging as one of the underground house scene’s names to watch. His breakthrough arrived in 2025 with “WHERE (The Cuckoos Nest),” which became a fixture across Ibiza ahead of its official release, earning support from Luke Dean, Robbie Doherty, Dennis Quin, and Marsolo.
Blending weighty synths, garage-influenced grooves, and infectious club energy, Beave has developed a style that translates equally well to the dancefloor and digital platforms. That momentum continued with “Just Another Love Song (Isakei / broke),” which generated more than 6 million TikTok impressions and nearly 100,000 SoundCloud plays before its release.
His growing reputation has also opened doors on the live circuit. Beave has shared lineups with LP Rhythm, Marsolo, Silva Bumpa, and Route 94, performing packed shows in Mallorca and at Ministry of Sound for LOVEJUICE. He has also landed a warm-up slot for Armand van Helden, appeared alongside Paco Osuna at The Cause, and has multiple headline dates on the horizon.
With support from tastemaker DJs and an increasingly dedicated fanbase behind him, Beave enters 2026 with serious momentum. “1997” provides another snapshot of the sound driving that ascent while introducing him to the Staff Only Records family.
As his profile continues to grow across the UK underground and beyond, Beave is proving that the combination of strong club records, authentic dancefloor energy, and a sound built for both intimate rooms and larger stages can make for a potent formula.
