From the artist
My musical taste is very obscure and schizophrenic I’ll be listening to 145 BPM techno like AIRROD, a minute later to The Doors, and then in half hour to Atarashii Gakko! (a J-Pop group you can’t sleep on, I’m just saying). I’m the same with my auditory taste in dance music ( I hate the term EDM, so I won’t use it). I got introduced to dance music at EDC 2009 when it was still in Los Angeles, and it changed my life.
I was a rock and roll and hip-hop head, was into groups like The Clash, Atmosphere, Pink Floyd, Tupac, Black Flag, etc. . I won’t go on and on about my history with dance music because this article would be a few pages long. But over the 15 years of being in love with dance music I listened to everything and every genre from happy hardcore to witch house. But here are a few cli notes: Ferry Corsten was my rst favorite DJ and Boys Noize at Coachella 2012 changed my life and made fall in love with techno when I was just into big room and trance, I been to international festivals like Tomorrowland Belgium and Brazil , Ultra in Miami, Japan and Croatia. I saw every DJ at least 10 times at this point. I been to hundreds of underground events, raves, concerts and clubs events in Southern California at this point. I’m obsessed with dance music, I’m always on Beatport trying to nd hidden gems in all genres.

Right now, I bet you are thinking what this has to do with my new track ‘Dance All Night’? Well,Dance All Night is a track inspired by the dierent dance music genres that I love, in his case melodic techno and tech house. I started with a power bassline and percussion typically in rolling tech house because I wanted the people to dance as soon as people heard it. I was inspired by the basslines from DJ’s like Meduza and Max Styler. The underling melody is the perfect combo of trance and big room. For the drop I wanted it to be unique, so I made a drop inspired by Malaa, one of my all-time favorite producers. Dance All Night is a mix of all the genres I love and play in my DJ sets.

Alesso sparked news last week by announcing tinnitus was the reason for his recent show cancellations. In an emotional video, Alesso was saddened by the health issue but said they were getting better. Now, Martin Garrix has also come out in a recent interview saying he too has tinnitus. Both artists were quick to tell us all to “wear earplugs”.
Martin says he has a “nonstop beep” and prefers always to have “music on in the background.” He compared it to having “10 mosquitos” around your ear. Which we all can agree is super annoying.
He also stated that many of his fellow DJ peers are experiencing the same issues. Martin cited the problems stemmed from his early days not wearing earplugs when DJing and his long studio sessions. Now he has a DB meter that flashes lights at him when the volume is too loud.
The best thing you can do for your ears long term is to wear earplugs at every show you go to. Eargasm is my favorite to wear. You can have your moments when you take them out and enjoy the music in full, but overall its best to keep them plugged!

Shawn Matthew continues to make waves with the release of his latest single, ‘U Got All I Want’, a track that seamlessly fuses classic tech house grooves with the raw energy of early hip-hop.

The new song “Darkness In Me” by Steve Angello and Modern Tales is out now via Astralwerks / SIZE.
The song is about avoiding temptation and giving in to your urges. Along with the song, they put out an exciting film. The main character in the movie, Gleb Sazonov, goes on an emotional and life-changing journey to accept himself. The pulsing beat, strong artistic scenes, flashing lights, and AI images all work together to create a one-of-a-kind way to watch something.
This is Angello’s first new music this year. He put out the album “Hooligans” last fall, and then he had an exciting return to the Brooklyn Mirage stage.
Angello also released “ME“ and worked with Sebastian Ingrosso, who is also in the Swedish House Mafia, on the song “Skip.” Swedish House Mafia played a historic 6-week Ushuaïa Ibiza Residency last summer, as well as at many international music festivals, such as the Garorock Festival, the Panama Open Air Festival, the Lucca Summer Festival, the Untold Festival, the Findings Festival, and the mainstage at Tomorrowland, which was their first time back at the festival in 12 years.
Who are Modern Tales?
Two brothers, Jonas Rathsman and Franz Novotny, were born into a land shaped by the rough beauty of Sweden. Their paths were meant to cross. They each went on their own journey to find their own place in the world until a shared vision called them back together. Which is how Modern Tales came to be—a group with a strong Northern spirit, where sad and mysterious sounds were mixed into every note they played.
Like old stories, their music moves both the heart and the body. Their sound is both big and small, mixing movie-like sounds with the raw sounds of human feeling, all carried on the winds of their country’s ancient legends.
In 2020, when everything seemed to be still and dark, two brothers found light in a blank sheet and filled it with the colors of a new project. Their songs, which they wrote alone, traveled far and were heard by Rüfüs Du Sol, who invited them on a trip that took them to faraway places and to a promise with Rose Avenue. That’s when their storytelling skills really came to life, and their music brought people who didn’t know each other together in a way that no words could describe.
But this is just the start. Modern Tales is at the start of a long, twisting road. Their Nordic sound holds a light for them and those who follow. There is still a story to be told that will inspire people and last for a long time.

Home Again announces the return of its Club Festival for 2025, promising a celebration of electronic music culture. Taking place from May 28 to June 2, 2025, across the iconic RSO.BERLIN and the sprawling Valley Stage, this third edition solidifies Berlin’s status as the heartbeat of global club culture.
 
With Thursday, May 29, marked as a public holiday in most of Europe, it’s the perfect excuse for an extended Berlin escape. This year’s lineup is the festival’s most dynamic yet, featuring headliners Peggy Gou, Solomun, Job Jobse alongside techno titans Helena Hauff, I Hate Models, and many more.
 

 
Following two unforgettable editions in 2023 and 2024, Home Again has quickly become synonymous with the essence of Berlin’s electronic music scene. This year, the festival expands its vision, hosting 4 stages across 4 days and 5 nights, seamlessly blending the raw energy of Berlin’s club scene with the open-air euphoria of a festival.

At the festival’s core is The Valley, a unique outdoor venue that gained viral attention after Marlon Hoffstadt’s unforgettable performance there during last year’s Home Again. The industrial backyard vibe, nestled in the middle of an old brewery, has become a symbol of Berlin hedonism, providing an unmatched post-industrial backdrop that defines the festival’s aesthetic.
 
After sundown, the party continues at the neighboring RSO.BERLIN, with its state-of-the-art sound system and versatile indoor spaces: the epic Robus and the intimate Summe, keeping the vibes going.
 
Nils Caspar Thabo Gelfort, founder of Home Again, shares:
 
“With the third edition of Home Again Club Festival, we’re dedicated to giving Berlin the festival it deserves. We are here to celebrate the city’s rich electronic music heritage while showcasing its versatility. It’s a HOMEcoming. Many of the artists in our lineup are returning to Berlin after years of making waves around the globe. Their stories and sounds are intertwined with this city, and we’re thrilled to welcome them back.
 
Unlike traditional festivals, we offer an urban festival experience that blends seamlessly with the city’s pulse. No tents to pitch, no designated drivers needed—just pure, unfiltered music and community, right where it all started. We strive to keep the festival accessible and convenient, not only for Berliners but also for visitors looking to combine a full festival experience with a vibrant trip to Berlin.”

Beyond the Music
 
Home Again isn’t just about the music. The festival also features a non-music programme with panel talks, workshops, and community gatherings in the biergarten-style Baergarten, fostering dialogue around the culture and future of electronic music.
 
Tickets are available via https://homeagain.berlin/festival. Full lineup and running order to be announced soon.

Sandro Cavazza, a singer-songwriter, has openly questioned the release of “Forever Yours – Tim’s 2016 Ibiza Version,” a song on which he and the late EDM pioneer Avicii sing together.
Cavazza spoke out against the release on social media, saying that he had agreed to include Tim’s demo version in a full live record from the artist’s last show but not as a separate single. The song was played at Avicii’s last live show in 2016 at Ushuaia in Ibiza. It was released by Interscope Records, Pophouse, and the Avicii Estate.
People are interested in Avicii’s music again after watching the Netflix films “Avicii: I’m Tim” and “Avicii: My Last Show.” While these productions have helped Avicii’s legal albums, “True” (2013), “Stories” (2015), and the posthumous “Tim” (2019), get back on top of the charts around the world, Cavazza’s comments raise important questions about the morality of releasing music after someone has died.
The music business has been talking for a long time about artistic ethics and how hard it is to manage an artist’s legacy. This controversy adds to that conversation. The fact that Cavazza told Pinguettes recordings, Per Sundin, and Tim’s family to not release the song shows how important it is to respect an artist’s artistic vision while also preserving their work.
As the story goes on, it shows how difficult it can be for artists, partners, and estates to work together on releases after the artist has died.
This is especially true in the electronic music scene, where unreleased tracks and live performances are important parts of an artist’s legacy.
This event is a reminder that music releases are about more than just making money. There are also deeply personal and artistic aspects that should be carefully considered. This is especially true when dealing with the legacies of important artists like Avicii, whose influence on electronic music is still felt years after his death.

EDM.com: What was it like working with Anyma and Argy to produce "Voices In My Head" and how has your relationship with each artist blossomed?
Son of Son: All I can say is that, despite the industry being a bit shitty sometimes, I just feel total gratitude for everything. Both Anyma and Argy are a huge part of this track. It really was a collaborative team effort. Anyma is the undisputed champion and Argy changed my life forever, man.
We each bring our own perspectives, which makes the process even more dynamic, and I will always be thankful for what he has done for me. It took 13 years for someone to finally give Son of Son a chance, and Argy was the first guy to do it. No one else ever did.
EDM.com: Where did the concept for the track's vocal sample come from?
Son of Son: I was up late night working as usual and I got the idea to make a track about the creative voices keeping me awake. I had the concept ready in my mind so I started writing a few different phrases about not being able to sleep, or being awake, or hearing voices.
Eventually I came up with the final phrase and used AI to create the voice. Basically the first time I wrote lyrics myself.
EDM.com: Tell us about your affinity for jazz and how your interest pivoted into producing electronic music.
Son of Son: I heard Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" for the first time when I was a kid and that song made 12-year-old me go, ”Damn, these guys smashing the drums are super cool." After some successful nagging, my mom helped me buy a drum set.
The only problem with being a 12-year-old jazz drummer is that you have no one to play with. A few years later I snuck into a deadmau5 show with fake passes and from that point on, I knew exactly what I was going to do with my life—I sold the drum set and bought a computer instead to make electronic music.
EDM.com: How did your nickname, "The Great Blondino," come about?
Son of Son: A friend of mine commented "The Great Blondino" on one of my posts. She’s as blonde as you can get too. People loved it and it became big. All of a sudden everyone started saying it.
It originally comes from a song by Stakka Bo, the guy who directed HBO’s Chernobyl. Who knows, maybe I’ll sample his song and release it some day.
EDM.com: How does your interest in fashion play into your music?
Son of Son: I was the strange kid in high school who drew sketches of clothes in my math books. The interest was always there—I even made some of my own clothes because I couldn’t afford the stuff I wanted. It’s a form of expression for me and it’s all very natural to me. The way I dress, the humor, the way I move on stage, the way I make content… it's a very well-curated package.
I feel like almost every other DJ still doesn’t understand the importance of having flavor. Some character. We already have guys wearing the same black t-shirts onstage and that’s totally fine, but it’s not me. I’m happy to give people a part of myself—something different, something they’re not used to. I know that’s what they’re craving right now.

EDM.com: What has been your most fun live performance to-date and why?
Son of Son: I’ve had so many outstanding shows but I’ll give you the top three. The "X" show in Cartagena was perhaps the greatest night of my life. There was a flood in the city—my set was paused for 30 minutes due to thunder and rain—but we still had a great time with the crowd. I met a lot of amazing people and great new friends, and I danced with Adriatique and a wonderful group of beautiful girls all night. Thank you Adriatique.
My Cairo show was chaotic—loved it. There were like five or six fights, it was probably 35° Celsius in the club, I had a great time with this beautiful girl there, some really good tea, some hardcore Egyptian gangsters wanted to take photos with me after the show… it was just wild, man. Punk concert!
My show in Tunisia with the Alees World crew was probably the show with the most positive and loving atmosphere I’ve ever done. They also surprised me with a birthday cake, which was nice.
EDM.com: What are some of your top goals, both musical and personal, for 2025?
Son of Son: My biggest personal goal is always to take care of my mom, and to make sure I stay healthy and love every second of my work.
Musical goal? I’m going to keep throwing curveballs all the time, both in my sets and in my releases. Don’t expect me to do what everyone else is doing.

The main way that any interested attendees can get the tickets for the long-anticipated residency events is through the “Events” webpage of the world-famous Tao Group Hospitality itself. For the other events in 2025 that Kygo will perform in, especially the upcoming Palm Tree Music Festival, one can buy tickets for those events through Viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats.
Kygo will ensure his residency at Palm Tree Beach Club be one of the most memorable in Las Vegas entertainment history
After eight years at Wynn Nightlife, Kygo (Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll) teamed up with Myles Shear’s Palm Tree Crew and the Tao Group to create this tropical-themed club, which spans 60,000 square feet. It features a stage, saltwater pool, and room for 3,000 guests. The residency kicks off on May 3 and includes performances by Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Zedd, and more.
“Las Vegas has always been a special place for me, so I’m beyond excited to open our venue on the Strip — and there’s no better place to kick off my first-ever daytime Vegas residency,” said Kygo in a statement. “I’m so grateful to bring this vision to life with our partners at Tao Group Hospitality and MGM Grand.

One of Dancing Astronaut‘s most-anticipated IDs of 2025 is about to receive an official release. SCRIPT and JV — two of melodic techno’s quickest-rising stars — have joined forces on their ID-turned—Experts Only single, “Flex My Ice.” And it had already made waves across the live circuit, earning support from dance music heavyweights like Tiësto, Korolova, Mathame, and more. But its momentum emphatically skyrocketed after John Summit unleashed it during his Proper NYE set at San Diego’s Petco Park.
SCRIPT has been on a meteoric rise in the melodic techno scene dating back to the release of “On The Low“—the first release under his rebranded moniker—which was crowned the most-played ID of Ultra‘s 2024 edition. A former Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch and a staple in the Afterlife circuit, SCRIPT has also delivered official remixes for industry titans CamelPhat and Vintage Culture.
Meanwhile, South African-born talent JV has quickly made a name for himself with back-to-back high profile releases, with “Flex My Ice” following his recent collaboration with Korolova from this past week on Tomorrowland Music, “Keep It Real.”
“Flex My Ice” is out everywhere via Experts Only on February 14, but it can be streamed in full a day early, exclusively on Dancing Astronaut.

We don’t need a time machine to relive the 2010s because The Cataracs are officially back with new music. After 14 years, the duo has reunited and is set to release “Make Ya Body Whistle” with Dev on February 21, 2025.
For those who grew up on their music, this moment is surreal. The Cataracs were responsible for shaping an era of electronic and hip-hop-infused party tracks that defined a generation. Songs like “Like a G6” and “Bass Down Low” became global hits, introducing millions to their unique production style. The announcement of their return has sparked excitement from longtime fans who never thought they would see another release from them.
A Full-Circle Moment for KSHMR Fans
It is hard to believe that I have been a fan of KSHMR since his early days as part of The Cataracs, and now, after all these years, it feels like everything is coming full circle. Niles Hollowell-Dhar went on to become one of the most recognized producers in electronic music, but his roots were in this duo. Seeing him return to this project brings back memories of an era when their music was everywhere, and it is clear that many fans feel the same way.
The teaser for “Make Ya Body Whistle” suggests that this is not just a nostalgic throwback. The visuals feature futuristic, liquid-metal aesthetics with a whistle at the center, signaling a fresh take on their identifiable and unique sound. Instead of trying to recreate the past, The Cataracs seem to be embracing their evolution while staying true to the style that made them stand out in the first place.
Dev’s Return Completes the Comeback
A Cataracs reunion would not be complete without Dev. Her voice was a key part of their biggest tracks, and her role in this comeback makes it feel like a true return rather than just a one-off release. Over the years, she has continued to build her solo career, but her chemistry with The Cataracs was something that set their music apart. Now, after more than a decade, they are back together and ready to introduce a new era of their sound.
What Comes Next?
With “Make Ya Body Whistle” just days away, there is already speculation about whether this marks the beginning of something bigger. Is this a one-time release, or could there be an entire project in the works?
Regardless of what happens next, the excitement around their return proves how much of an impact they had. Fans who spent the early 2010s blasting their music are now getting to experience a moment they never thought would come. Whether it is nostalgia or curiosity about their next chapter, one thing is clear: The Cataracs are not just back, they are making people talk.
February 21 is going to be a day to remember as we’ll be reliving all our 2010’s vibes all over again!
