Tupa Loopa marks the highly anticipated return of Greek-born, Leeds-based producer Tennan to his own imprint, Problematic, with a fiery tech house cut laced with Latin flair. Out on October 24, 2025, the track underscores Tennan’s evolving sound — one that merges the heat of Latin rhythms with the precision of European club production.
Tennan has become a name synonymous with sleek, high-energy club music that balances underground grit with modern finesse. Over the years, he has released on powerhouse labels like Moon Harbour, Saved Records, and Repopulate Mars, building a reputation for forward-thinking, groove-driven tech house. As a DJ and producer, his sets and productions are known for their deep basslines, tight percussion, and hypnotic rhythmic flow.
Launching Problematic in 2023 allowed Tennan to curate a space where his creative vision could thrive without compromise. The label quickly positioned itself as a hub for experimental yet dancefloor-oriented releases, exploring fresh textures within tech house, minimal, and percussive music. With Tupa Loopa, Tennan continues that mission — blending his international influences into a sound that feels both familiar and bold.
Tennan has steadily built a reputation in the European club circuit for his sleek, high-energy productions that bridge underground grit with modern finesse. Originally moving to Leeds, England, his work soon found resonance across UK and continental club scenes. Over the years, Tennan has released on labels such as Moon Harbour, Saved Records and Repopulate Mars—each outing showing his taste for deep grooves, tight percussion and hypnotic rhythmic flow.
In 2023, Tennan launched Problematic Records as a platform to channel his curatorial vision: forward-thinking dance music that honours club roots while pushing boundaries. The label quickly carved a name for itself among selectors and DJs looking for fresh, purposeful tracks with character. With Tupa Loopa, Tennan returns home—releasing on Problematic himself, and doubling down on the aesthetic he’s spent years honing.
Tennan’s signature style has always been marked by club compatibility and cultural dexterity: the capacity to move from peak-time energy to more nuanced, slower-burn grooves. Tracks like “Base Street” earned serious support from tastemakers, while his sets in Ibiza this past summer reinforced his standing as a producer who understands both dancefloor power and musicality.
Tupa Loopa is a testament to Tennan’s ability to craft infectious grooves with global appeal. The track pulses with tribal percussion and Latin-inspired rhythms, layered with crisp drum programming and deep, rolling basslines. The title itself evokes the rhythm of the track — a hypnotic, looping motion that draws listeners into its spell.
While rooted in tech house structure, Tupa Loopa showcases the organic energy of live percussion, giving it a human heartbeat amid the mechanical precision of modern club production. Shimmering synth accents and subtle vocal snippets weave through the mix, balancing warmth and tension. The result is a dancefloor cut that feels equally at home in Ibiza, São Paulo, or Berlin — an embodiment of Tennan’s global sensibility.
Problematic Records has quickly gained traction for its dynamic and finely curated catalog. With its fifth release, Tupa Loopa reinforces the label’s commitment to pushing sonic boundaries. Each Problematic release reflects Tennan’s belief that dance music should be both technically refined and emotionally resonant.
In a time when tech house continues to evolve beyond its conventional formulas, Tupa Loopa stands out for its character and movement. It’s not just a track built for peak-time energy — it’s a statement about rhythm, culture, and the enduring link between percussion and dance.
This new release also signifies Tennan’s ongoing effort to blend musical cultures within contemporary club music. Drawing influence from Latin music traditions while retaining the precision of European minimalism, Tupa Loopa connects diverse scenes through rhythm and sound.
The influence of Latin and tribal percussion has surged in recent years across the house and techno spectrum. Producers are reintroducing organic elements into digital frameworks, creating a globalized club sound that celebrates movement and human connection. Tupa Loopa sits comfortably within this wave — an intersection of cultural rhythm and technical mastery.
As artists continue to explore beyond borders, Tennan’s Tupa Loopa exemplifies how tech house can evolve without losing its groove. It’s a reminder that the genre’s future lies not in imitation but in fusion — in daring to bridge worlds while keeping the body moving.
