Dennis Cruz Launches New Nature-Inspired Label, BotaniQ, with ‘Way Back' EP
The Madrid-based house music titan's new BotaniQ imprint and party aims to "blur the lines between music and nature into one cohesive vision."

Dance floor favorite Dennis Cruz kicks off a bold new chapter with the launch of his freshly blossomed imprint and events series, BotaniQ, with the infectious Way Back EP.
Known for his relentless groove, impeccable taste, and an enviable streak of Beatport #1 hits, Cruz introduces a breezy and free-spirited concept. Acting as a new sonic avenue away from his beloved and refined MÜSE imprint with Eddy M, BotaniQ sees the Spanish DJ/producer strip away genre boundaries to create a platform where music and nature coalesce, both in sound and setting.
The two-track Way Back EP sets the tone, packed with rolling drums, hypnotic textures, and Cruz’s unmistakable rhythmic flair. Already earning high praise from heavyweights like Marco Carola, Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, and Cloonee, BotaniQ’s debut release reflects the Dennis’s deep, dynamic and rolling sound — primed for the kind of enchanting dance floor experiences he’s helped define over the years. Listen below.
“I’m excited to share this brand new concept to the world," says Cruz. "BotaniQ is an idea that has no boundaries, meaning that I can showcase all the styles of music that I make, enjoy and play without being restricted to genres. We’ll also bring this idea to the dance floor, with events designed to focus on the music and people and avoiding unnecessary distractions.”
The first official party lands May 29 at Lofi Courtyard in Amsterdam, promising an intimate yet electrifying experience. With a career spanning countless anthems, global tours, and iconic collaborations.
Dennis Cruz's two-tracker Way Back EP is out now via BotaniQ. Buy it on Beatport.
