Italian DJ and production duo Eternal Love are set to release their two-track Heat Motel EP on Cooking With Palms Trax, the label founded by Palms Trax, on November 11. Featuring the original title track and a remix from Caravan, the release draws on Italo-house influences, blending hazy synth lines, rolling basslines, and off-kilter rhythms into a sound that balances nostalgic dancefloor sensibilities with a contemporary underground edge.
At its core, “Heat Motel” captures the raw, unconventional spirit of underground dance music. Built around playful synth melodies, crisp percussion, and a driving bassline, the original delivers a groove-focused approach to house music with a distinctly late-night character. An infectious vocal sample provides the track’s central hook, keeping the arrangement direct while allowing its layered textures to shape the atmosphere.
Caravan’s remix takes the material in a different direction, stripping away some of the original’s melodic elements in favor of a deeper, more hypnotic groove. The reinterpretation moves into darker territory, creating a compelling contrast to the playful energy of the original while maintaining its dancefloor focus.
Speaking about the release, Eternal Love explain:
“Our records always start from the same place: years of digging through sounds from all over the world and letting them inspire us. ‘Heat Motel’ takes that research straight to the kind of dancefloor we love: dark and open-minded, but always up for a proper bassline and kick. It’s a simple track, built around an amazing vocal sample that gets straight to the point.”
That approach reflects the duo’s broader relationship with underground dance music. Through years of digging, traveling, and immersing themselves in club culture, Eternal Love have developed a sound informed by global influences while remaining connected to the rich history of Italian electronic music.
Their reputation has grown through residencies, extended DJ sets, and broadcasts on influential platforms including Kiosk Radio, NTS, and The Lot Radio. Their international touring history has since taken them to clubs and festivals across Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, and the United States. Appearances on Boiler Room and Mixmag Lab have further expanded their presence within the global underground circuit.
With Heat Motel, Eternal Love bring their distinctive interpretation of house music to Cooking With Palms Trax, delivering two complementary takes on groove, unconventional sounds, and the enduring influence of underground dancefloor culture.
