French DJ and producer HUGEL has joined forces with legendary American rapper Snoop Dogg for ‘H.O.U.S.E.’, a new collaboration released on October 16, 2026, through Make The Girls Dance Records. Combining Latin-inspired house rhythms with one of hip-hop’s most recognizable voices, the single marks another important milestone in HUGEL’s international career, following their joint appearance at Coachella and the success of his debut album, ‘Twenty One’.

Two different musical worlds have come together for a new electronic music release.

HUGEL, the French DJ and producer whose Latin and Afro house productions have attracted international attention, has officially released H.O.U.S.E. alongside West Coast hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg.

The single arrived on October 16 through HUGEL’s independent record label, Make The Girls Dance Records.

The collaboration combines the producer’s rhythmic electronic arrangements with Snoop Dogg’s distinctive vocal delivery, introducing another connection between contemporary house music and American hip-hop culture.

For HUGEL, the project carries particular personal significance.

After more than two decades developing his career, the producer is now working alongside an artist who influenced his musical interests long before he became internationally recognized.

‘H.O.U.S.E.’: Latin Rhythms Meet West Coast Hip-Hop

The production brings together different elements of the artists’ musical identities.

HUGEL provides the electronic foundation, incorporating prominent percussion, a rolling bassline and contemporary house arrangements.

Snoop Dogg contributes his recognizable laid-back vocal delivery, creating a contrast with the track’s energetic rhythmic structure.

The result connects influences associated with Latin house, Afro house and hip-hop.

Unlike conventional rap collaborations built around electronic remixes, H.O.U.S.E. was developed as a house-oriented production featuring Snoop Dogg’s vocal performance.

According to Beatport, the extended mix runs at 128 BPM in E major, with a duration of five minutes.

The DJ version is categorized as House / Acid, while the shorter streaming edition provides a more compact presentation of the collaboration.

Both versions maintain the relationship between electronic club rhythms and the musical identity of the American rapper.

The Collaboration Started With an Instagram Message

The story behind H.O.U.S.E. began with an unexpected personal connection.

According to promotional information accompanying the release, Snoop Dogg contacted HUGEL directly through Instagram.

The exchange opened the possibility of working together, eventually developing into studio sessions and live appearances.

For HUGEL, who grew up in Marseille listening to hip-hop and other musical influences, collaborating with Snoop Dogg represented the realization of a long-standing ambition.

The French producer’s background includes influences from funk, disco, hip-hop and Mediterranean music.

These styles eventually contributed to the Latin and Afro house sound that has become central to his career.

The collaboration therefore connects an early musical influence with the electronic production identity he has developed over more than 20 years.

From Instagram to the Coachella Stage

The relationship between the two artists became visible to international audiences during Coachella 2026.

HUGEL made his debut at the California festival in April, delivering a performance at the Sahara stage.

During the set, Snoop Dogg appeared as a surprise guest.

The rapper performed alongside the French producer, introducing an unexpected hip-hop element to the electronic music performance.

Big Sean also participated in the show, contributing to one of the most notable moments of HUGEL’s festival appearance.

The performance helped establish the creative relationship between HUGEL and Snoop Dogg before the official release of H.O.U.S.E..

For the producer, sharing the stage with internationally recognized hip-hop artists represented another development in his increasingly diverse musical career.

The new single now extends that relationship into a standalone release.

HUGEL’s Debut Album ‘Twenty One’

The collaboration arrives during an important year for HUGEL.

Earlier in 2026, the producer released his debut studio album, Twenty One.

The title references the 21 years he spent developing his musical career before releasing his first full-length album.

The project brings together artists from different musical backgrounds, combining house music with influences from hip-hop, R&B, Latin music and contemporary pop.

Its collaborators include David Guetta, Big Sean, French Montana, Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, Bryson Tiller and Snoop Dogg.

The American rapper was already involved in the project, contributing to its opening introduction.

However, H.O.U.S.E. represents a more developed standalone collaboration between the pair.

According to the record’s promotional campaign, Twenty One debuted at No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Dance Albums chart and subsequently accumulated more than 650 million streams.

The project reflects HUGEL’s ambition to connect different musical communities through electronic production.

From Marseille to International House Music

Born Florent Hugel, the French producer began developing his musical career in Marseille.

His early influences included hip-hop, funk, soul, disco and the multicultural musical environment associated with the Mediterranean city.

Over time, he incorporated these influences into electronic productions built around prominent percussion and rhythmic arrangements.

His international profile expanded through recordings such as Morenita, I Adore You and other Latin-influenced house releases.

Rather than working exclusively within a conventional house music format, HUGEL developed an approach combining elements from different regions and musical traditions.

This direction has contributed to the international popularity of Latin house and Afro house.

His performances now extend across major
