Dutch house maestro Dennis Quin makes a long-awaited return to the PIV label this July. His latest EP, "Treat You Right," features four original tracks, including one featuring Los Angeles vocalist Cheshy.
Over the past decade, Dennis Quin has remained highly active, earning widespread acclaim around the world for his raw, powerful productions. After releasing on prestigious labels such as Cécille, Ibadan, Dungeon Meat, and Eastenderz, he returns to PIV, a leading force in his hometown scene in Amsterdam.
The title track, "Treat You Right," perfectly embodies the essence of house music, blending Cheshy's soulful vocals with crisp 909 drums, a driving bass hook, cinematic strings, and shimmering synth lines. "Impressions" evokes Parisian deep house with its swinging low-end rhythm, jazzy leads, marimba lines, and bouncy sub-bass.
Further showcasing Quin's versatility, "Touched" combines a distorted, skippy drum groove, wavering synth stabs, low-end drive, and hypnotic vocal chants. Finally, the "Classy Dub" of the title track, "Treat You Right," offers a refined take that pulls back the vocals, reconfigures elements of the original, and adds further jazz influences.

Dutch house maestro Dennis Quin makes a welcome return to PIV this July with his ‘Treat You Right’ EP, comprising four originals, one of which features LA’s Cheshy on vocals. Over the past ten years Amsterdam’s Dennis Quin has moved from strength to strength and has become globally revered and respected for his raw and powerful productions, racking up releases on Cécille, Ibadan, Dungeon Meat, Eastenderz and of course the leading light of his hometown scene, PIV, where he returns with his latest EP.
Up first on the package is the original mix of title-cut ‘Treat You Right’ which sees Dennis team up with Los Angeles based Cheshy, delivering a composition that personifies the quintessential House sound, crisp 909 drums, fluttering stab sequences and a bumpy bass hook run in unison with Cheshy’s soulful vocal stylings, cinematic strings and shimmering synth lines. ‘Impressions’ follows next and showcases a different aesthetic with a swinging low-slung rhythm section, jazzy leads, marimba lines and bouncy subs to create a more Parisian deep house feel.
Further showcasing Quin’s dynamism as a producer ‘Touched’ then shifts up gears to a saturated skippy drum groove, vacillating synth stabs, a heavy dose of low-end drive and hypnotic vocal chants. Lastly to round out the release, Dennis offers up a ‘Classy Dub’ of the title-track, as the name would suggest stripping out a large portion of the vocals and reshaping the structure of some of the original elements and stirring some additional jazzy elements into the mix.
