Four forty-six with no concession to radio: HUGEL has released ‘One More Round’
The Frenchman’s formula stays the same — Latin American rhythm over European house — but this time the running time is openly built for the club.
HUGEL has released a new single, ‘One More Round’.
It came out on 5 August 2026 and runs 4 minutes 46 seconds. Distribution is by Afrobeats Distro/JUNGLE; the date is recorded in the Apple Music catalogue.
The running time is not a detail here. Almost five minutes is a format made for the dancefloor rather than for radio rotation: a track that long has room to build and room to let the tension settle.
HUGEL is a French producer who found a formula that works everywhere: Latin American rhythm laid over European house in a way that turns into neither exotica nor parody.
His ‘WTF’ (2018) and ‘Guajira Guantanamera’ (2019) spread across the dancefloors of Europe, followed by ‘Morenita’, ‘El Sueno’ and ‘I Adore You’, and this year the album ‘Twenty One’ arrived.
One of his most visible recent outings is ‘Movin’ To The Sun’ with Ultra Naté and Imael Angel, released on Make The Girls Dance Records.
Ultra Naté has been singing house since before it was common ground: ‘Blue Notes in the Basement’ came out in 1991, and ‘Free’ in 1997 became an anthem and has stayed one.
As ONE//FM reported earlier, HUGEL brought the voice of Bryson Tiller into Latin house on ‘Temptation’.
