Stockholm-based producer and 8181 Enzo is releasing “Force,” a track that reflects his refined approach to electronic music.

Leave it to Dzeko to spot dance potential in unlikely places. The Canadian producer, known for bridging pop and EDM with surgical precision, has turned fellow northerners MENEW’s rock foundations into festival fuel with “Never Us.” The original collaboration already proved Dzeko’s pop instincts correct, breaking onto U.S. dance radio with its melodic approach. But it’s BYOR’s subsequent remix that really shows how far MENEW’s sound can stretch – transforming the Grammy-nominated alt-rockers’ tra

Alexander Rya may not yet be a household name in America, but across the Atlantic, he’s been steadily making waves in his native Italy and beyond.

BRN’s “FREAK OUT” falls firmly in the former category, taking that immortal “Aww freak out” vocal and giving it the respect it deserves while sliding it into a thoroughly modern house framework. The track is a masterclass in minimalism. That iconic guitar riff, recontextualized but not overdressed, rides a crisp house pulse that feels both inevitable and fresh. BRN, who’s been building serious momentu

Claude VonStroke is done playing the industry game. After two decades building Dirtybird into one of the most recognizable brands in dance music, selling the company, and taking a well-earned break, he’s back—but this time, he’s calling the shots. His Life of Leisure tour isn’t about flexing status or filling the biggest venues possible. It’s a carefully curated run of shows at places he actually wants to play, for people who actually want to be there. The idea is simple: a few hours of pure
