Super-talented Producer and DJ Maesic has unveiled his latest house anthem, “Ripsaw,” which blends soulful Afro House grooves with tougher Tech House energy.

Collaborating with Polish DJ TABU, the track draws inspiration from the fusion of warmth and intensity, and underscores the French artist’s place as one of the genre’s most exciting new talents.

Rekindling its long-standing love affair with club culture, Maison Kitsuné returns to the dancefloor with a new series of monthly electronic releases. Across the globe, a fresh generation of DJs and producers are redefining the sound of today’s clubs. Kitsuné Musique joins the movement again with a curated selection of boundary less, high-impact singles.

Here’s what Antoine Kenobi Ressaussière, the Music Director at Kitsuné, had to say:

“Releasing a Maesic track today is the result of a long story that started eight years ago – from Paris to Bali. We’re excited to work with Emeric, who is the real incarnation of the modern French touch” 

Maesic added, “Gildas (Loaëc) and Antoine at Kitsuné have supported me from the very beginning, and it’s really exciting to be working with them again.

Antoine is bringing fresh energy to a legendary label that has shaped electronic music in so many ways, and I’m proud to help carry that legacy forward with the release of ‘Ripsaw,’ a song influenced by the ‘French Touch.'”

Maesic has had a remarkable year with his global house smash, “Life Is Simple (Move Your Body),” featuring house music legend Marshall Jefferson and Salomé Das.

The song has amassed 60M+ streams, racked up 125M+ views on TikTok + IG, charted on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 and US Viral 50, and in September, hit No. 1 on Shazam as the most Shazammed song in house music in the world.

As a result, Maesic earned the title of Billboard’s Dance Rookie of the Month (June 2025) and was just recently honored as one of 1001Tracklist‘s “Top 101 Producers” on their “Future of Dance” power list.

He also recently announced a newly inked deal with WME for global representation in all areas, along with forthcoming festival performances next year at France’s Tomorrowland Winter (March 21-28) Madrid’s Mad Cool (Friday, July 10).
