Michael Bibi has spent 2026 demonstrating just how far a modern Tech House artist can stretch without losing his core club identity.

The London DJ and producer has released records with Baby Tate, KETTAMA, Wu-Tang Clan and UNIIQU3, alongside solo club material — all within the same year.

His most recent release is “Feel This Grip”, a collaboration with Atlanta artist Baby Tate released through Warner Records.

The Extended Mix runs at 130 BPM and remains present in Beatport’s Tech House ecosystem more than two months after release.

But the bigger story is the sequence around it.

“Feel This Grip” Connects Tech House With Baby Tate

“Feel This Grip” places Baby Tate’s vocal performance over Bibi’s percussion-heavy club framework.

Released through Warner, the record moves outside the more conventional underground-label system normally associated with Bibi while keeping the production firmly rooted in Tech House.

The track also crossed into the UK commercial charts.

Official Charts lists “Feel This Grip” at a peak of No.33 on the Official Singles Sales Chart and No.31 on the Official Singles Downloads Chart in September.

That gives the collaboration a different profile from a standard Beatport-focused club release.

It connects Bibi’s dancefloor audience with a broader market without requiring him to abandon the sound that built his career.

Wu-Tang Clan, KETTAMA and Another Unexpected Combination

Only weeks before “Feel This Grip”, Bibi appeared alongside Wu-Tang Clan and KETTAMA on “MYSTERY OF RAW”.

Released through CircoLoco Records on August 14, the track runs at 130 BPM and is classified by Beatport as Tech House.

It is one of the more unusual collaborations in Bibi’s catalogue.

A legendary hip-hop group, one of the most prominent names in contemporary club music and a producer closely associated with a harder, rave-influenced sound all meet on the same record.

That kind of combination would have looked unlikely in Tech House only a few years ago.

In 2026, it feels much more natural.

“Mobile Groove” Keeps the Club Foundation Intact

Between the larger collaborations, Bibi has continued releasing straightforward club material.

“Mobile Groove” arrived through ELOVATE in July at 129 BPM, while “Lets Get High” appeared through Solid Grooves Records in June. Earlier in the year, “Bad Wolf” with UNIIQU3 added another vocal-driven collaboration to his catalogue.

The sequence shows a producer working across different levels of the electronic market.

One release may involve a globally known rap act.

The next may be a stripped-back club record.

The common element remains Bibi’s rhythm-driven house foundation.

From London to Solid Grooves

Michael Bibi grew up in London and began DJing in the early 2010s.

He later developed the Solid Grooves parties before co-founding the label with PAWSA, helping turn the project into one of the defining brands of modern Tech House.

His career has since moved far beyond the original London underground circuit.

Bibi has headlined major festivals and clubs internationally while Solid Grooves established a long-running Ibiza presence, including its DC-10 residency.

That history gives his current releases extra weight.

He is no longer simply participating in Tech House.

He is one of the artists who helped shape the current international version of the genre.

2026 Shows a Wider Version of Michael Bibi

The most interesting part of Bibi’s current run is the range of collaborators.

Baby Tate comes from hip-hop.

Wu-Tang Clan belong to an entirely different musical generation.

KETTAMA represents another area of contemporary club culture.

UNIIQU3 brings the influence of Jersey club.

And yet all of those names have entered Bibi’s musical world during the same year.

For DJ TOP 100, that is what makes Michael Bibi one of the most important British Tech House artists to watch.

His 2026 catalogue is not simply a collection of releases.

It shows an artist using his position inside Tech House to connect the genre with musical worlds that would once have existed well outside it.

The groove remains the foundation.

The boundaries around it are becoming much wider.
