One of Dancing Astronaut‘s most-anticipated IDs of 2025 is about to receive an official release.

Few producers bring the energy as competently and as consistently as SOREN does. And as his first single of the year thunderously affirms, the Dirty Workz signee has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Of course, the track’s progression from an atmospheric slow-burn to a climactic surge of pure hardstyle power that hits hard without being too raw is among them. So are the vocals from Dutch singer-songwriter Jorik Burema, whose fervent topline on “HAUNTED BY YOU” marks a departure from the female voc

Tate Sedar learned about electronic music from his parents’ compilation CDs and Dance Dance Revolution. Now he’s making the kind of dance tracks that would absolutely wreck both those things, and I mean that as a compliment. His debut EP “POST-EDM” arrives exactly one year after he first coined the term, and it’s a surprisingly personal collection from a genre not exactly known for vulnerability. From the funk-infused opener “San Francisco” (a nod to his hometown roots) to the radio-friendly

Fresh off winning both EDC Orlando’s Discovery Project and Toolroom’s remix competition, TONG continues her hot streak with “Is It Real,” a hip-house hybrid that proves why major labels have been paying attention. The Los Angeles-based, Chinese-born producer skillfully mines ’90s hip-hop energy for dancefloor gold, laying playful vocals over tech house fundamentals. Landing on Funky Rabbit, the track marries bold toplines with rhythmic basslines in a way that feels both vintage and vital. For TO

Signifying the immortal classic’s first-ever official makeover, “Sweet Caroline (Two Friends Remix)” is now streaming everywhere via Geffen Records in partnership with Universal Music Group. Famous for their “Big Bootie” mixes and pop-electronic original catalog, Two Friends’ Eli Sones and Matthew Halper, also known for synthetically reimagining nostalgic pop anthems, have freshly primed Neil Diamond’s multi-platinum record for modern dance floors.

There’s a magic in remembering the moment the bassline hit, the lights flared, and for the first time, you truly understood electronic music. For many of us, that moment happened somewhere between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the first few years of the new millennium. The ’90s and early 2000s weren’t just a time of musical evolution—they were an eruption, a cultural phenomenon that reshaped the underground and built the very foundations that today’s scene still stands on.

The Party’s Over. The club lights on. You heard about an afters. The sun’s just coming up and the light is a distraction. The main event is over, what next? Because you’re…NOT GOING HOME With a foreword by journalist Kate Spicer, the book documents the Summer of 1998 as photographer Mischa Haller travelled across the UK to chronicle clubbers and partygoers in the small hours of the morning. The idea was to show what it felt like to be young, up all night in that slightly woozy, surreal state

Rave may be the middle word in travel, but when raving reporter Kirk Field created the world’s first holiday company catering exclusively to clubbers, the Rave New World threw everything it could at him: 9/11, volcanic ash clouds, suspicious customs officers, avalanches, North Sea storms, pandemics, fraudulent accountants, and the ghost of Michael Jackson.
