Josh Butler & José Rosa launch new Maritime Yacht Club project

Origins Rcrds label boss Josh Butler and longtime friend, singer/songwriter and fellow producer José Rosa have joined forces for a new project – Maritime Yacht Club.

Their first major project together, ‘Got A Feeling’ in 2013 (which has been a vital component of Josh‘s success over the years), celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and has received an almost unimaginable level of accolades in that time. The record won an award for the biggest-selling track of 2013 on Beatport with Bontan’s remix, which was the overall number one for six weeks straight and is still one of its highest-selling records of all time on the platform.

The project has been ongoing for the past three years, commencing during the lockdown in 2020 and helping José through one of the most challenging times in his life and providing an outlet for himself and Josh to throw themselves into during a period of stagnation for many in the music space.

“This project has been a long time coming, and we are very proud to have accomplished this together,” says José. “We wanted to create a concept that was different to anything else out there. We felt combining vocal-led underground house, and commercial sounds would create a unique and captivating result.”

As well as the announcement of the launch of Maritime Yacht Club, the duo have also shared details of ‘On My Own’, their debut MYC release, which will be available on February 24th – ahead of the duo’s forthcoming LP later in the year.
