Piero Pirupa has spent years building one of Italy’s strongest international tech house catalogues.
His latest Toolroom release shows exactly why.
“Throw It Up” brings the Italian DJ and producer together with Dutch artist Thomas Newson and Baltimore rapper Deetranada for a 130 BPM club record that connects European house production with a distinctly American vocal identity.
Released on October 23 through Toolroom, the track is one of Pirupa’s most recent productions and another high-profile addition to a catalogue already spread across some of electronic music’s biggest labels.
Piero Pirupa’s Long Relationship With the Beatport Charts
Pirupa is far from a newcomer to Beatport.
His official Beatport profile describes him as one of Italy’s most accomplished electronic exports and highlights four previous Beatport Overall No.1 records: “Sweet Devil”, “Party Non Stop”, “Everybody’s Free” and “We Don’t Need”.
That record places him among the Italian producers who have managed to translate underground club credibility into sustained international chart success.
His catalogue has appeared across labels including Defected, Toolroom, Drumcode, Repopulate Mars, Stereohype, Catch & Release, Crosstown Rebels, Relief, Sola and Musical Freedom.
“Throw It Up” therefore joins a discography built over many years rather than standing as an isolated breakthrough.
Three Different Worlds on One Record
The collaboration is particularly interesting because each artist brings a very different background.
Pirupa contributes the rolling house and tech house foundation that has defined much of his career.
Thomas Newson brings his own long history in international dance music.
Deetranada adds something less expected.
The Baltimore artist first gained wider attention as a teenage finalist on Jermaine Dupri’s The Rap Game and has since developed a style rooted in hip-hop and Baltimore club culture.
Toolroom’s campaign for “Throw It Up” describes her contribution as a key element of the record, placing her rapid vocal delivery over the producers’ club-focused framework.
That creates a collaboration that works across more than one scene.
It is a Tech House record, but its vocal identity comes from outside the conventional European club circuit.
Toolroom Adds Another Major Chapter
Pirupa has already worked with many of the labels most closely associated with contemporary tech house, but Toolroom remains an especially natural home for a record like this.
The label released “Throw It Up” in both shorter and Extended Mix formats, with the Extended Mix running for 5:11.
The track also received early DJ support from names including Chris Lake, Dennis Cruz, Nic Fanciulli, John Summit, Nicole Moudaber, Claptone, Roger Sanchez, David Penn and Ilario Alicante through Toolroom’s promo campaign.
That support reinforces the track’s position as a club record designed for a broad range of selectors rather than one narrow Tech House niche.
2026 Has Been Another Strong Year
“Throw It Up” follows several other Pirupa releases in 2026.
August brought “We Are Rising” with Steve Edwards, while October added a VIP Extended Mix of the same project.
Beatport also already lists Pirupa’s next record, “Turn It Louder” with PIZAR (IT), scheduled for November 13 through NONSTOP at 130 BPM.
That means “Throw It Up” sits inside another active period rather than closing the year on its own.
For DJ TOP 100, this is exactly what makes Piero Pirupa one of the most durable Italian names in modern Tech House.
He has chart history.
He has releases across some of the genre’s most important labels.
And he continues to collaborate with artists coming from completely different musical backgrounds.
“Throw It Up” brings all of those elements together.
Italian Tech House, Dutch dance production and Baltimore rap meet on one Toolroom release — with Piero Pirupa once again positioned at the centre of the connection.
