Folkness Make Debut On Illyus & Barrientos' New Imprint
The Polish duo release their new single "Before You Start Thinking" on Stay Busy Records

Stay Busy Records are thrilled to announce the release of the highly anticipated new single from Folkness. "Before You Start Thinking" is an old-skool house record that suits Folkness down to a T. This single shows the duo's deep understanding with house music, featuring a killer bassline, vibey chords and heavy beats that are perfect for the club.
Folkness, the project of long-time friends Norbert & Matt, has been a force in the house music scene since 2019. Their extensive experience spans over 15 years, with releases on top house music labels like Toolroom Records, Simma Black, TheBasement Discos, Groove Culture, and Nervous Records.
Their tracks are regularly supported by the biggest names in the house and electronic music scene, and they have collaborated with notable figures such as Hatiras, DJ PP, The Cube Guys, and Wh0. In 2023, Folkness remixed Groove Armada's iconic hit 'Superstylin',' released by BMG UK, and in 2024, they added an official remix for Jerry Ropero to their impressive portfolio. Their music is a staple on premier radio stations worldwide, including BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM, Radio FG, and Dutch SLAM FM.
