Alaia & Gallo’s ‘Lipstick’ has officially received a fresh lease on life, courtesy of the prolific Tony Romera. As a mainstay of the renowned Toolroom imprint, Romera brings his signature, groove-driven production style to the track, successfully balancing the original’s infectious energy with a modern, tech-house edge.
The original release of ‘Lipstick’ cemented itself as a definitive club anthem throughout 2025. Its widespread appeal saw it become a staple in the sets of industry titans, including Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, Bob Sinclar, James Hype, Roger Sanchez, Claptone, and Tchami. Given the track’s massive footprint, the challenge for any remixer was to maintain that momentum while offering something distinct for the dancefloor.
Tony Romera has built a formidable reputation on his ability to craft tough, rhythm-focused tech house, and this latest rework is no exception. By stripping back and rebuilding the core elements of the track, he has created a version that feels tailor-made for the peak-time sets of the world’s most influential DJs. It is a testament to the label’s strategy of pairing established hits with artists from their own orbit, ensuring that high-quality records continue to find new life in clubs heading into the latter half of the year.
