There aren’t many collaborations that feel inevitable in a good way, but David Morales linking up with Leroy Burgess hits that sonic sweet spot. These are two artists who shaped the DNA of vocal-led club music long before most of today’s producers ever touched a DAW.
Their new track “Come On,” arriving on Morales’ DIRIDIM imprint, and plays like a reminder of how good house can feel when it does its own thing rather than chase trends. And these artists represent the penultimate trendsetters in dance music. More than a revivalist throwback, it’s two masters tapping into the same language they’ve been speaking for decades and showing how naturally it still translates.
Listen To The World Premiere Of “Come On” Now
Morales has been in a groove lately, dropping records that feel rooted in actual club culture. Pairing that approach with Leroy Burgess is a flex. Burgess practically invented the silky, melodic New York soul that fed directly into early garage and boogie. If you know Black Ivory, Logg, Convertion, or any of those foundational Patrick Adams collaborations, you already know the lineage. “Come On” taps into that history without getting stuck in it. Burgess’ vocal is calm, never trying to outshine the production. Morales keeps the piano line steady and warm, no dramatics, all restraint. Just a rolling groove that moves with purpose. It’s the sort of track you feel in your shoulders before you realize you’ve been zoning out to the chord changes.
There’s space in the arrangement too. Real space. The kind producers used to leave before we all got obsessed with stuffing the mix. If you spend any time in clubs, you know the pendulum is swinging back toward records that feel like songs—vocals that belong in the pocket, grooves that breathe, arrangements that don’t scream for attention. “Come On” fits exactly into that moment. It’s confident without being showy, soulful without being syrupy, and grounded in the kind of craft that moves dance floors without needing a marketing plan.
DIRIDIM has become a quiet home for this kind of release: deep-rooted house that respects where the genre came from but isn’t stuck looking behind it. “Come On” is Morales and Burgess proving that when the chemistry’s real, you don’t need to force a thing. You just let the groove do the work.
