Jill Stanley Returns to dt weapons with Wanna Touch

Following her debut on dt weapons with ‘99’, Jill Stanley makes her return to the label with ‘Wanna Touch’, a bold new club cut that pushes her sound further into the space between techno and tech house.

Building on the foundations laid with ‘99’, Jill comes back with a track designed firmly with the dancefloor in mind. ‘Wanna Touch’ is driven by a relentless low-end groove, crisp percussion and a seductive vocal hook that gives the record its playful edge.

There’s an immediate sense of movement from the opening bars. The rhythm stays tight and direct, with the bassline doing much of the heavy lifting underneath sharp drums and carefully placed vocal touches. Rather than overcrowding the production, Jill leaves plenty of space for each element to land, allowing the groove to remain front and centre.

As ‘Wanna Touch’ develops, the arrangement plays with tension and release. Stripped-back sections pull away the weight of the track, giving the vocal room to tease the dancefloor before the low end returns. It’s a simple idea executed effectively, creating those moments of anticipation that can make all the difference in a packed club.

That contrast also highlights the territory Jill Stanley is continuing to explore with her productions. There’s a clear techno influence in the track’s tougher edge and repetition, but it’s balanced by the bounce, immediacy and rhythmic movement associated with modern tech house.

The result is a record that can comfortably move between the two worlds.

‘Wanna Touch’ also feels like a natural next chapter following Jill Stanley’s first dt weapons release. Where ‘99’ introduced her to the label, the new single continues to develop that relationship while showing another side to her production style.

Confident and deliberately provocative, the vocal provides the personality while the production underneath remains focused on what works in the club. There are no unnecessary distractions. Everything revolves around the groove, the tension and the moment the bass drops back into place.

For dt weapons, it’s another release that sits firmly within the label’s club-focused approach while giving the artist room to bring their own identity to the catalogue.

For Jill Stanley, ‘Wanna Touch’ marks another step forward as she continues to establish her sound across techno and tech house. With two dt weapons releases now under her belt, she’s building a clear relationship with the label and a growing catalogue aimed squarely at late-night dancefloors.
