[Tech House] Pedroz, Class Sick – Brotherhood & Family

Posted by Tyler Trew - February 22, 2025

Pedroz and Class Sick roll out a groove-heavy gem with “Brotherhood & Family,” a tech house track that was made for dimly lit clubs and open-air parties. The percussion snaps, the samples glide, and the whole thing flows without trying too hard—just clean, warm, and dance-ready. It doesn’t push for dramatic builds or over-the-top drops. Instead, it settles into a pocket that feels right, riding a line between nostalgic vibes and a fresh edge.

Pedroz, known offstage as Pedro Bellini, isn’t wasting time making his mark. At 21, he’s already a fixture in Brazil’s underground scene, with a sound that’s caught the ears of big names like Vintage Culture, Fisher, and Michael Bibi.

“Brotherhood & Family” earns your listen. Pedroz pulls from the foundations of house music and flips it into something that works just as well for a packed dance floor as it does on a drive with the windows down. No grand statements, no gimmicks, just straight forward tech house that hits all the right elements.

Packed with intricate details and bursting with personality, Vaughn’s latest offering is a tech house banger that thrives on sheer power from start to finish.

Adam Vaughn says: “‘In My Mind’ is minimal with the lyrics. It features a chop I made in the buildup and the single line ‘It’s taking over in my mind.’ I initially wanted a track to just hit in a club with very minimal lyrics, and I feel this track does just that,” Vaughn explains. The themes of the track reflect the stress and introspection he’s faced over the past six months. “I started this track honestly 6 months ago and never really cared for it. In this time I have felt stressed out here and there so I dove back into all of my tracks, and the lyrics ‘It’s taking over in my mind’ really resonated with me. I ended up finishing this track that night and closed it out in the majority of my sets. It is important to remember as an artist, your creations often relate to your current feelings, your everyday life, etc. It’s really what makes you an artist.”

But Vaughn’s music has a deeper connection when you pull back the curtain. Performing also under the name Adam Vaughn Hare, he brings the depth of a musician rooted in guitar and piano from an early age.
