Dr. Greco & Sumia new release “crush”
Some tracks land quietly in the ecosystem of club music, folding themselves into the night without disturbance. And then there are tracks like “CRUSH”, works that arrive like a pressure wave, rearranging the emotional temperature of the room before the kick even settles. For SUMIA and Dr. Greco, two artists whose trajectories have steadily reshaped the contours of hard groove, their new collaboration feels less like a release and more like a rupture. Out on 14 November 2025 through Polyamor Records, “CRUSH” embodies a shared creative instinct: visceral, magnetic, and unafraid of excess.
Both artists come from scenes built on intensity, places where rhythm is not background but architecture, and where the body becomes an instrument. Their union on “CRUSH” makes immediate sense. It is a merging of sensibilities, Dr. Greco’s precision and rave minimalism colliding with SUMIA’s unmistakable vocal force. The track’s world is gritty and hypnotic yet deeply human, driven by the chemistry that emerged when they entered the studio with nothing but instinct and appetite.
SUMIA describes that moment of ignition with clarity. “‘CRUSH’ is one of the wildest tracks I have ever created,” she says, recalling the energy that surged from the first session. “
Dr. Greco and I produced this track together from scratch; every sound and every texture carries our energy.”
Her voice, which cuts through the production like a spark against steel, became the gravitational pull of the project.
“The vocals are mine, and they came straight from an emotional, chaotic, powerful place. When I recorded them, I wanted to capture the moment when passion becomes pure sound. ‘CRUSH’ is explosive, bold, unapologetic… it is the feeling of losing control in the best possible way.”
That sensation translates directly into the track’s construction. “CRUSH” sits firmly in the lineage of hard groove, yet it pushes the aesthetic into rawer and more expressive territory. The percussion is relentless but never cluttered, creating a muscular rhythm that expands outward like a pulse from the center of the club. SUMIA’s spoken-word delivery becomes the anchor, threading tension and seduction through every bar. It is a track engineered for impact, the kind that forces dancers into instinctive motion not by instruction but by gravitational pull.
For Dr. Greco, the process was as fluid as the result.
“I had so much fun creating ‘CRUSH’ alongside SUMIA!” he says.
“She is such a talent and the creative process flowed so naturally.” The track embodies that ease, a stripped back rave skeleton charged with volatile vocal electricity. “We aimed to pair her spoken word with a stripped-back rave sound that was sure to light up dance floors,” he explains. Early reactions confirmed their intuition.
“With early support from David Löhlein, Mischluft and t e s t p r e s s, we were sure this record would resonate with hard dance and trance lovers from around the world!”
That confidence is justified. “CRUSH” taps into a global moment when harder tempos and expressive vocals converge into a new hybrid energy. It feels built for peak-time catharsis, yet there is a narrative beneath the surface, a dialogue between desire, chaos, and control that mirrors the emotional charge of late-night rave culture. It is a track that does not merely soundtrack the night. It accelerates it.
Released through Polyamor Records, a label known for championing boundary-pushing club music, “CRUSH” arrives accompanied by its own visual world. Raw, saturated, and feverish, the imagery mirrors the track’s spirit. In this universe, tension and release coexist, with the body as central as the beat and the night a place of transformation.
As December and January roll in, “CRUSH” is poised to ripple through festivals, warehouses, and basements across continents. It is the kind of record that does not simply enter rotation. It invades it, shaping the memory of the night long after the last kick fades.
On November 14, the takeover begins. And in true SUMIA and Dr. Greco fashion, it will not ask for permission. It will arrive with force. It will demand movement. It will crush, beautifully.
