Ibiza's Make The Girls Dance Records rings in June with its 30th release of 2026, an Afro house rework by Montaigne and GROSSOMODDO titled 'WAQI.' The track, in its Extended Mix, comes two months after Montaigne and GROSSOMODDO last released on the label with 'Toledo,' and a short while after the label's January dispatch, HUGEL's 'Jump & Shout.' The label, which works under HUGEL's direction, has now put out 40 records so far in 2026, with this being the 30th in an order that's been rolling out across the year.

'WAQI' is a track that knows its weight. The drums and the chords sit side by side, balanced so that neither dominates the other. The drums leave plenty of room, letting the arrangement breathe as it moves forward and squeezes tight beneath the peaks, while the top end stays half bright, glowing without blazing. It's a groove that fits the season, the Ibiza season settling into its rhythm, and Faul & Wad, who charted the track seventh of ten on June 5, have already given it a spin.
