At Berlin's legendary Berghain, where the music is relentless and the energy unyielding, even a moment of stillness feels surreal. That rare silence came last weekend when Danish DJ and producer Kasper Marott fainted mid-performance, falling onto the mixer and briefly bringing one of the world’s most revered dancefloors to a halt. Marott was in the midst of delivering a high-intensity set at Berghain when he suddenly collapsed behind the venue's DJ decks. The incident momentarily stunned the cr

Kaskade and Lipless have reunited for a stunning progressive house track, "State Of Mind," out now via Colorize. The producers' creative history traces back over a decade to an unlikely origin story: a teenage Lipless cold-messaging Kaskade on MySpace with demo submissions. The Chicago-born dance music icon replied, and a working relationship quietly took shape. By 2014, Kaskade helped Lipless relocate to Los Angeles, where the two went on to release a Grammy-nominated remix of RY X’s "Only" fol

Eptic and Space Laces have reunited to release a new collaboration, "Crash Out," a chaotic track primed to bring uncontainable energy to dancesfloor this festival season. Brimming with surgical sound design and unfettered bravado, the track opens in menacing fashion with a barking dog sample and the wail of a siren.
