Tesfa Williams – Club Joy EP

Tesfa Williams returns to Heist Recordings with more deep, rich and soulful house

The UK stalwart switched to releasing under his given name with his label debut here in 2025

Release Date: 4th December 2026

Tesfa Williams, formerly known as T.Williams, has always operated in the worlds between house and garage, where the grooves are inviting, and the vibes are warm. He’s been there for more than a decade, releasing on plenty of key labels, including Local Talk and a neo-soul album with SIO on Kid Fonque’s label STY TRU BTS in the last year. He has also clocked up millions of streams, played special sets in vinyl stores, is a Voices Radio regular and headlines cultured festivals like Defected Croatia and Boardmasters. The label founders say,”This is UK house music just the way we like it; deep, a bit of grit and full of funk.”Opener ‘One of One’ feat. Tendai has an irresistible house swing, accented with velvety chords on top and soulful vocals that flow through the mix. With performances at Notting Hill Arts Club and Jazz Café, Tendai is no stranger to a catchy performance, and you can hear the jazz and garage influences in the way she delivers her sultry vocals. Like all of William’s work, it’s an ever-shifting sound rather than a tracky tool and ‘Bringing Me Joy’ picks up the pace but stays just as musical. The drums are smooth as silk with golden chords swirling up top and perfectly deployed vocals that add emotional bite. ‘Everynight’ has a more heads-down feel and after-dark energy, with defined, dusty percussion, bouncy drums, and bold bass, finished with a pitched-up R&B vocal. It’s intimate and beautifully bittersweet, then the colourful closer ‘Remembering’ lifts the mood with more upbeat drums, joyous chords and a bright positivity that’s perfect for getting everyone locked in.

Tesfa Williams’s ‘Club Joy EP’ arrives digitally and on vinyl via Heist Recordings on 4th December 2026.
