GRAMMY-nominated duo SIDEPIECE team up with globally celebrated artist Aluna for “Misbehave,” a slick, attitude-laced club cut out now via Lip Service. The single not only delivers a high-impact dancefloor moment, it also marks the official launch of SIDEPIECE’s new label, setting the tone for a fresh chapter in their evolution as artists and tastemakers.
Driven by bouncy, groove-heavy production, “Misbehave” is built for late-night energy. SIDEPIECE’s signature house rhythms lay the foundation while Aluna’s unmistakable vocal presence brings charisma and edge, striking a balance between playful swagger and club-ready cool. The result is a track that feels both effortless and commanding — the kind of record designed to live equally well in packed clubs and festival sets.
Over the past few years, SIDEPIECE have become mainstays of the global house circuit thanks to a steady stream of chart-topping releases that fuse infectious grooves with a cheeky, feel-good twist. Since breaking through, the duo have lit up festival stages around the world and earned a GRAMMY nomination in 2021 for “On My Mind” with Diplo, a milestone that cemented their place among modern house music’s elite.
Aluna, meanwhile, stands as one of dance music’s most distinctive and influential voices. With a catalog that includes genre-defining hits like “You Know You Like It,” acclaimed solo projects, and standout collaborations with artists such as Disclosure and Kaytranada, she continues to shape the sound and culture of electronic music. Beyond the studio and stage, Aluna is also a leading advocate for Black representation and greater equity within electronic music spaces.
Speaking on the collaboration, SIDEPIECE shared:
“We had always wanted to work with Aluna, and the stars aligned last spring when we got to get in with her in the studio. She has been a part of some of the biggest dance hits in the last 15 years. It was really fun to blend our two sounds together. We have loved playing this song out, and the reaction has been amazing every time. We are very excited for it to be finally out and for the rest of the world to hear it.”
Ahead of the release, SIDEPIECE and Aluna take the stage together at Beatport Live LA, which returns to Downtown Los Angeles for its first event of 2026 on January 29. With Kaleena Zanders opening the night, the show serves as a perfectly timed preview of “Misbehave” before the track officially lands the following day.
The arrival of Lip Service signals a new platform for SIDEPIECE — one built to house their own releases while spotlighting the next wave of dancefloor-driven talent. The label quietly took shape last summer with “Cash Out” featuring Bobby Shmurda, a rework of September’s “Cry For You” that reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Mix/Airplay Chart and Beatport, and their collaboration with Westend, “Take Your Places.” Now, with “Misbehave,” SIDEPIECE and Aluna kick off this new era in style, delivering a confident club anthem that captures the spirit of both the track and the label behind it.
