Alan Fitzpatrick & THELMA Drop Club Cut ‘Restless’

UK techno heavyweight Alan Fitzpatrick has teamed up with Barcelona-based rising producer THELMA on their new collaboration ‘Restless,’ released today via HE.SHE.THEY. Records. Built around driving drums, bass pressure and warped vocal chops, ‘Restless’ is a high-impact club cut that balances Fitzpatrick’s peak-time intensity with THELMA’s genre-fluid instincts. The track moves between techno weight, hard house energy and flashes of UK speed garage swing. Frank Farrell reimagines the track through a darker, rolling lens on the flip side, stretching the original’s tension into a deeper late-night workout with hypnotic percussion and rumbling low-end. The collaboration grew organically after Fitzpatrick discovered THELMA’s music and became an early supporter. What began as conversations about working together soon turned into a creative exchange, with the pair sending stems back and forth toward the end of 2025. “I’m a big fan of what Thelma does and since we met we’ve spoken about doing something together,” Fitzpatrick explains. “At the back end of 2025 we started bouncing stems back and forth and it was a very natural and creative process. I love how we just made music for music’s sake to see where it went and I think the result shows that it was a perfect meeting of minds.” “HE.SHE.THEY. feels like the perfect label too – their catalogue is such a broad cross-section of quality music and I love their ethos of inclusivity and the vibe at their events.” The release continues a massive run for Fitzpatrick, who has helped shape the global techno landscape for over a decade. His seminal track ‘We Do What We Want’ is currently enjoying a fresh viral spike in the clubs, download stores and streaming platforms, pulling in 200,000 streams daily on Spotify alone. With more than 240 million global streams, he launched his HYBRD live project last year with appearances at Awakenings, Fabric and Elrow Festival. Alongside his own output, Fitzpatrick champions emerging talent through his We Are The Brave platform, taking underground artists to respected stages including The Warehouse Project Manchester, Shine Belfast, Watergate Berlin, SWG3 Glasgow and Fabric London. THELMA has quickly become one of the most exciting rising names within the European underground. Now based in Barcelona, the Swiss artist has built a reputation for high-energy sets that traverse the harder edges of club music, with releases landing on respected labels including ATW, Method 808 and ec2a. Support from Laurent Garnier, VTSS, KETTAMA, I Hate Models, Skin On Skin and Partiboi69 has pushed her rapidly onto the international radar. Bookings across Creamfields, Terminal V, Fabric London and Sub Club Glasgow have cemented her as a fast-rising presence on the circuit. After kicking off 2026 with 14 shows across Australia and the Netherlands, she followed with her Boiler Room Amsterdam debut, continuing momentum from breakout cuts including her early viral track ‘TRACK ID’, which surpassed a million streams, and her recent Club Nostalgia EP. “Alan discovered my music a little over a year ago and has been the biggest supporter ever since,” THELMA adds. “I owe a lot to him in terms of the development of my career in the last year, and we both decided it was time to work on a track together. I’m not one to shy away from versatility and neither is he, so we created something free of genre labels that we both felt connected to.” ‘Restless’ lands as another boundary-pushing addition to HE.SHE.THEY.’s catalogue. Since its launch, the platform and global event series has become known for championing forward-thinking club music while creating spaces that celebrate diversity across the dancefloor.
