Groove with purpose: ABEL drops the hypnotic ‘Ah Papi’ on her LAUNDRY Label
Following a successful launch and her mixmag lab showcase at ADE, the label founder returns with a cut engineered for late-night sessions
Some artists do more than just release music; they build ecosystems. ABEL is one of them. Following the success of her debut single ‘Slow Steady’ last year, the UK-based DJ and producer returns to her newly-launched imprint, LAUNDRY Label, for its second official release: ‘Ah Papi’.
Out today, February 6th, 2026, ‘Ah Papi’ represents the natural evolution of the sound ABEL is channeling: a house style that is direct, immersive, and full of character. The track strikes a perfect balance between playful and commanding, driven by infectious grooves and those subtle hypnotic touches that have become her signature. At its core, it’s a tool engineered for packed dancefloors and early-morning sessions.
However, LAUNDRY is more than just a label; it’s a vision spanning inclusive events and experiences in unconventional spaces (like her now-famous takeover of an Amsterdam laundrette). With this second drop, and coming off recent releases on labels like Frau Blau, ABEL cements her reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging voices, proving that her project is dedicated to bringing people together through rhythm and feel-good energy.
