Kelly Cappuccio is bringing renewed excitement to house music with her newest single, ‘Not Again’.
The Chicago producer has joined forces with saxman Ernesto Dolvi on the energetic track, which is out now on Vikthor’s label VKT.
The single blends soulful female vocals with warm guitar chords and Dolvi’s smooth saxophone melodies, layered over crisp, tech-driven percussion. The result is a feel-good house anthem that balances groove with melody, showcasing Cappuccio’s versatility as both a producer and performer.
Cappuccio has never been a DJ to put herself in just one sound. Her DJ sets span styles of house, from melodic to tech house, offering fans an energetic dance floor experience. On her own releases, she’ll tend toward tech house, but ‘Not Again’ is a more soulful and more melodic effort. It’s also her second VKT release, following an earlier track that leaned toward peak-time techno sensibilities.
For VKT, however, the single represents an expansion of the label’s brief. Long-running as a peak-hour techno label, VKT has been expanding its stable to encompass more understated shades of house. With Cappuccio joining the roster, which already boasts artists like Lisa Millett, the label underlines a genuine desire to diversify its sound without losing its underground ethos.
Beyond VKT, Kelly Cappuccio has also released music on the likes of Dirtyclub Music and 2Dutch Records, culling a discography that demonstrates her diversity across the longer term of house. With each release, she continues to cement her place in the electronic music scene both as a solo artist and through the work of collaborations like this one with Dolvi.
With ‘Not Again’, Cappuccio delivers a track that feels tailor-made for summer playlists, rooftop sessions, and club nights alike. It’s soulful, energetic, and unmistakably Chicago in its spirit, while Dolvi’s saxophone sections add a live instrumental flair that stands out in today’s house music landscape.
Fans can already stream or purchase the single on primary platforms, and with this release, Cappuccio once more proves she’s someone to watch out for as VKT and the wider house music scene evolve in 2025.
