Year In Tunes – Top 10 Breakout Artists Of 2024

We’ve made it! This is the final and perhaps the most exciting poll thus far. EDMTunes proudly brings you our top 10 Breakout Artists of 2024. This list showcases the absolute monsters of the industry that have ravaged the dancefloors and have sent their respective charts into mayhem. This list represents our favorite acts that are establishing their long-term brand and have had an incredible year. Some of these names have been in the scene for a really long time, but made 2024 entirely theirs. Let’s get to it!
Top 10 Breakout Artists
10. ALLEYCVT
The North Virginia native blew our minds this year and begins our breakout artists list. A rising star in Bass music, the DJ released bangers such as ‘ONE FOR YOU’ alongside Levity, and ‘Stratosphere’. Her fresh sounds and flow took her on a journey for her Feel It Tour all around the US. Besides, the success of the tour opened up the door for the spring portion, starting in February 2025. We will headbang alongside ALLEYCVT every step of the way!
9. Levity
The iconic Bass Trio from the Midwest jumped into the spotlight with their surprise performance in Electric Forest 2023, when they subbed for an artist who couldn’t make it to their performance. Since then, they have influenced the industry with their take on Dubstep, Trap, and Future Bass. Their debut EP ‘Escapism Vol I’ truly encapsulates their brand and what’s yet to come. Moreover, they were able to headline Electric Forest but this time officially, for a set that took us above and beyond. They say three is a crowd but we feel it’s the right number for Levity.
8. ANOTR
Relax my eyeeees, I see flashing lights, but we’re not aloooneee (insert string arrangement riff). After a two-year hiatus from producing, the Dutch duo came full throttle for 2024. Sold-out shows, and the reintroduction of No Art events brought ANOTR back into the spotlight. The duo who blends Disco, Jazz, and Soul into their tracks breaks all rules to provide us with euphoric experiences each time. No Art took it upon making the no-phone statement a relevant option for events, bringing connection and music back to the forefront of this social media era.
7. Goom Gum
Turking Melodic Techno Duo Goom Gum had a major year. Their hypnotizing sounds grew exponentially with releases such as Their Raffa Guido’s ‘Famax’ Acid-filled remix, and their ‘Staccato’ and ‘Devotion’ double release. The AVTOOK label leads also enjoyed support from Anyma, Zamna Records, Cassian, and more. Furthermore, they ranked amongstthe top producers on the Future of Dance list. The future is Techno.
6. HUGEL
French DJ and Latin House producer HUGEL gave us so much flavor this year. He gave us some of the nastiest beats including ‘Stay High’ with Diplo and Julia Child and Andalucia with GROSSOMODO. Standout performances include his own Boiler Room inside a McDonald’s, and playing alongside Ludacris during Art Basel. Moreover, HUGEL dove into the fashion world alongside TAFARI and KAMALI for the debut of TAFARI WORLD. The apparel brand is a forward-thinking and innovative take on modern streetwear. Similar to ZHU or Anyma, the artist has been able to showcase his creativity through different outlets, besides music.
5. Alex Wann
One of the newest names on our list. Afro/Deep-House DJ Alex Wann comes all the way from Paris to deliver the sweetest grooves. This year picked up the pace after his remix release of Kelis’ ‘Milkshake’. Since then, Wann released tracks with Aaron Hibell and Liva K, and has remixed the likes of Jess Glynne, WhoMadeWho and Adriatique. His tour this year took him from Ibiza, all the way to EDC Las Vegas. We hope his melodies and beats take us further and further next year.
4. Keinemusik
The German Afro-House trio Keinemusik is its own category. Adam Port, Rampa, and &ME managed to bring their A-Game into this year. The cloud made its rounds on our favorite dancefloors around the world this year. 2024 consisted of sold-out shows, extremely viral moments, and lots of fundraising. Keinemusik ought to have an incredible 2025. Of course, we need to highlight ‘Move’, by Adam Port and Stryv, chosen as the number 1 song on One World Radio for 2024. Besides, with a remix including Camila Cabello, and another one by Anyma, segments this track as a legendary song for years to come.
3. Layton Giordani
The NYC-based artist, also known as “Slayton” or “babygurl” if you’re chronically online as we are, made it all the way to our Breakout Top 3 this year. Yes, Layton has been on our radar for ages, but he finally makes it into our breakout artist selection this time around. The ‘New Generation’ producer went through a major rebranding this year, which swayed his style from an all-Techno note to a masterful mashup with House. Giordani had major highlights this year including the releases of Sharam’s ‘PATT (Adam Beyer, Layton Giordani & Green Velvet Remix)’, and Loofy’s ‘Last Night (Anyma x Layton Giordani Remix)’. The DJ also showcased his newfound sound with tracks like ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Freaks at Night’. We will always be supporting Slayton in years and years to come.
2. Odd Mob
Australian DJ Harry Hope’s solo project made it to our top 2 breakout stars. It had originally started as a duo back in the day. However, Odd Mob truly rose in popularity while joining OMNOM for the release of ‘Losing Control’. This year, the producer has continuously released banger after, banger, including his remixes Andruss’ ‘Frikitona’ and John Summit & venbee’s ‘palm of my hands’. His dark textures carry the groove into sunrise, and had us dancing all year. Moreover, his Hyperbeam collab set with OMNOM for EDC LAs Vegas blew our minds away.
Honorable mentions
We love every artist on this list, even though they were short a couple of votes to make it into the official list, their debut albums, tours, and releases left us in awe this year:
Sammy Virji Rinzen Sara Landry PAWSA And now, our top Breakout DJ of the year, and it should be no surprise to anybody, goes to…
1. Max Styler
The man of the moment, our top breakout artist of 2024, Californian producer Max Styler had an incredible year. From continuous support from Gorgon City, John Summit, and plenty others, the producer had us dancing nonstop. Styler had over 10 major releases this year, including ‘Touch’ with Gorgon City, and his remixes for John Summit & Paige Cavell’s ‘Tears’ and the classic ‘Tarantula’ by Pleasurekraft. His dark-driven sounds send us into the stratosphere on each set, and take Tech-House to a different realm. His journey includes his Progressive House alter ego HABITATT, letting us levitate into the night. This was truly his year and his year only.

2024: The Albums

2024 has been another unforgettable year for bass music, with albums taking center stage in showcasing the genre’s depth and creativity.
This year, standout albums have pushed the boundaries of what drum and bass can be. From iconic artists delivering career-defining statements to fresh talent redefining the sound, the year has given us plenty to celebrate. And it’s not just drum and bass thriving—dubstep and UK garage have also delivered albums that prove their continued relevance on a global scale.
With such a wealth of incredible music to choose from, narrowing down our favourite bass music albums of 2024 has been no easy task. The UKF editorial team has locked in their top picks. These are the albums that have defined the year, elevated the scene, and kept us inspired. Let’s dive into the records that made 2024 truly special.
Entanglements – Alix Perez
Laurie Charlesworth
Entanglements is a gorgeous array of sounds from start to finish and hands down, my favourite album of 2025. It has all of those beautiful, deep, signature sounding Alix tracks with the likes of ‘In Your Eyes’ and ‘Dark Pulse’ with the addition, this time, of a much more summery – almost High Contrast-esque – sounding track with ‘Elastic Soul’. I’m obsessed! Alix Perez is undeniably one of the best when it comes to soul and Entanglements is a solid example of that statement.

Anima – Zar
Sam Yates
This guy was my UKF One To Watch pick at the start of 2024, and man, did he deliver. Zar’s innings was highlighted by his debut LP on Space Cadet – an incredibly soulful project themed around his Italian heritage and his current home in Manchester. He enlists a wide spread of local vocals from aya dia to DRS (and plenty more), all of whom hop on to complete the wholesome, community feel pulsing through this album. A big statement from Zar on this one; that he’s among liquid drum & bass’ elite producers. 
Silence Is Loud – Nia Archives
Ant Mullholland
The debut solo album from jungle superstar Nia Archives has definitely been one for the history books. Released in April, her innovative breakbeat influenced track with pop-indie style vocals provides the electronic dance world with a revolutionary take on jungle sound design. The Britpop inspired project has been a huge hit in the British music spectrum creating a catchy feel throughout the body of work. Tracks like ‘Cards On The Table’, ‘F.A.M.I.L.Y’ and ‘Unfinished Business’ truly epitomises this indie style fusion with a rolling jungle break that both tie together innovatively. As a result, creating a multifaceted resemblance to 90’s style sounds forming into a more modern style of dance music. As one of Nia’s best singles on her discography to date, the distinctive ‘Forbidden Feelingz’ also made the cut on the album. Displaying a soulful and dynamic approach to drum’&’bass sounds. The ‘Silence Is Loud’ track itself has a futuristic feel to it, despite drawing inspiration from 90s breakbeat. Its infectious hook and 4-line lyrics has fabricated a number that’ll live long in the memory. Her voice is individual and distinctive, setting her aside from many vocalists in and around the community – enabling her to pierce the production with haunting yet enticing flare. The ‘Silence Is Loud’ album as a whole has undeniably displayed new ideas unto a scene that has been on the rise for many years now, providing listeners with a dynamism that will only leave you wanting more. 
Slow – Redeyes
Sam Yates
Redeyes’ aptly titled album is a hazy summer gem. Opening at gentle cruise, Milansanger urges us to “take things slow” in his feature, before DRS and Fox tag-team on a bubbly, but leisurely production. This ebb and flow of beats at various paces continues throughout the 11 tracks, glued effortlessly together by Redeyes’ veteran style and technique. Each instrument choice is real-sounding and deliberate, giving it that throwback, rose-tinted feel. Atmospherics and spoken word from the likes of 2b.frank or aya dia wrap this up so wonderfully – you can’t really tell when one track moves into the next, even though they’re distinct. This is an end-to-end listen, bucking the streaming and social media trends that expect one-track attention spans. 

Incognito Rhythm – 4am Kru
Jungle duo 4am Kru have spearheaded a cutting-edge blueprint that have seen them become one of the most popular collectives in underground dance music. The culmination of this body of work, which came out in September, sees some of the jungle scenes’ most captivating rhythms stretching back over the last few years. Their explosive identity is pressed upon these singles creating a euphoria around them. Watching them perform songs from the album, they gain an extra dimension in their live renditions. Tracks including ‘Just Saw Johnny’ and ‘Ooh Boy’ place a hardcore inspired bite to proceedings. Whilst tunes such as ‘Real Lo Remix’ and ‘Ribena’ showcase an old school jungle nuance that has compelled a broad range of listeners, acquiring a strong and loyal following over the last few years. The single itself ‘Incognito Rhythm’ samples the iconic Little Simz vocals on her track ‘Gorilla’ and transpires in really capturing the essence of this new formula of jungle that embraces rigorous bass lines, complimenting the eloquent drum patterns.  It’s important to mention that ‘Horns For 2024’ also achieves this wicked concept merged together by the London-based act. 4am Kru’s album has accurately depicted their intentions as a forward-thinking production machine who possess a truly addictive sound design. Teasing at so many more ideas for future projects that fans everywhere will, unquestionably, be keeping an eye out for.

2024: The Tracks

2024 has been an absolutely monumental year for bass music. From sold-out shows and viral hits to a wave of fresh talent reshaping the sound. Drum and bass continues to dominate the conversation, evolving beyond its underground roots and cementing its place in the mainstream spotlight. This isn’t just a passing trend—it’s proof of the genre’s enduring relevance and its unmatched ability to innovate while staying authentic to its core.
Meanwhile, UK garage and dubstep have made serious waves, drawing in younger audiences and proving that their influence is far from fading. UKG, now 30 years deep, remains a vital force, while dubstep has found new energy in both its classic and experimental forms.
As the year comes to a close, we’ve had the impossible task of narrowing down our favourite tracks from such a vibrant, diverse 12 months. After plenty of debates and rewinds, the UKF editorial team is proud to present our definitive picks of 2024. These are the tracks that have defined the year, pushed boundaries, and kept us moving on the dancefloor. Let’s celebrate the music that made 2024 unforgettable.
Lens & Sarah Ikumu – Jungle Diva (ft. Pola & Bryson & goddard.)
Laurie Charlesworth
‘Jungle Diva’ is a certified banger and without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite track of 2024! It has all of those gorgeous, jungly elements that we love and adore, with a little slither of naughtiness chucked in there too. It’s dark and rolling, but fun. The rise of Lens continues, Sarah Ikumu sounds exceptional and Pola & Bryson and goddard. sprinkling some magic on it is just the icing on the cake. A beautiful combo. Big tune!
Nectax – Body Talk
Ant Mullholland
The soulful yet energetic ‘Body Talk’ by Nectax is without doubt one of the most impactful jungle rhythms of 2024. Released on DJ Flight’s Play:Musik label over the summer, this was their first release in 14 years and what a thrilling way it was to come back. Forming part of the ‘Body Talk’ EP, the single first came to people’s attention in Nia Archives’ Boiler Room set two years ago, absolutely everyone wanted to find out where the tune came from. The rolling style jungle sound woven in and out of some well crafted vocal synths has made this particular track incredibly popular among jungle selectors. Its expressive nature has made it a huge hit in the dance, appeasing many a type of jungle fan. From the very first drum pattern, the journey it takes you on is euphoric. The Newcastle-based artist finds himself being one of the most exciting talents to come out of the jungle scene. Over the course of the last few years he’s built an armoury of high calibre production under his belt. Being one of the key components behind the up-and-coming label Stereo45, we can expect even more influence on the scene from this talented geordie beatmaker.
Koherent, Klinical & Operate – Classics
Sagar Deshmukh
Since its inception in 2018, Overview Music has consistently demonstrated a remarkable ability to unite distinctive collaborative pairings that frequently develop into legendary partnerships, and etching their name in the label’s quintessential releases. 2024 was no exception, with standout collaborations from Kyrist & InsideInfo, Killa P & Klinical, and Rueben & Grey Code, among others, delivering the unmistakable Overview style of drum & bass brilliance. 
The winner of these collaborations however, is undoubtedly this impressive assembly set up by Overview, featuring Koherent, Klinical, and Operate. Their track kicks off with a striking sample that declares, “for my next number, I’d like to return to the Classics.” True to its word, the tune masterfully bridges the gap between the old-school foundations and modern innovations of drum & bass.
Raw, rugged, and perfectly paced to ignite the dancefloor, ‘Classics’ embodies Koherent’s razor-sharp production, Klinical’s emotive depth, and Operate’s signature sound design. Gritty, raw, and unapologetically grimy, this tune packs an explosive punch, guaranteed to shake up the dancefloor no matter the venue—be it an intimate club setting or a massive festival stage. If you’re a DJ reading this, consider this one of your go-to dancefloor weapons. 
Halogenix – No More
Sam Yates
An outrageously uplifting track from one of our scenes’ most treasured producers. Whenever ‘No More’ gets teased or dropped in the mix, it’s often the most exciting, positive moment of the set. It sounds like summer festivals or the middle of a club night with its effortless energy – no vocals needed, just an infectious melody and all the right interplay of building and breathing. Halogenix once again delivers. 
Adam F – Circles Revisited
Laurie Charlesworth
‘Circles Revisited’ is a culturally significant moment in drum & bass! The original is undeniably one of the most influential tracks in the history of UK dance music – and yet, the waves it caused back in the 90s were only the very start of its journey. Fast Forward to nearly 30 years later, we have seen the track be sampled and bootlegged countless times, most famously by the likes of PinkPantheress, Pola & Bryson. ‘Circles’ continues to make a mark on the scene in such a beautiful way, and Adam F jumping back into the studio – using the exact same equipment he used to make the original track – is the chapter of the story we’ve all been waiting for. 
Colours Revisited in 2025 is greatly anticipated too. I can’t wait. Big love to Adam for delivering us some real magic via his revamps, reworks, reboots and revisits!
Fake Two Piece & Lokal – Bad Mouth
Sagar Deshmukh
Shenzhen/Hong Kong based experimental bass music label released ‘Bad Mouth’ just in time to be in consideration for the wonkiest dubstep releases of 2024. Over the past five years, Unchained Asia has cemented its reputation as one of the top purveyors of hyper-innovative bass music, with bold experimentation serving as both its defining identity and greatest strength.
Keeping their yearly ritual going ever since they started putting out music in 2018, Unchained assembled the 12-track ‘The Year of The Dragon’ which runs in parallel with the Chinese Lunar calendar featuring artists that delivered a tightly curated showcase that reflect their addiction to variety – ranging from raw, experimental sounds to unapologetic club bangers. 
Leading the charge on ‘The Year of The Dragon’ is a fiery collaboration between Lisbon’s boundary-pushing duo Fake Two Piece and Manchester’s fast-rising trio Lokal, who’ve been turning heads and shaking speakers since bursting onto the scene last year.
Together, they’ve crafted ‘Bad Mouth,’ a track that seamlessly blends dark, gritty textures with infectious rhythms and sharp, dynamic sound design. It strikes the perfect balance between raw, weird, and an infectious groove that is primed to captivate the dancefloor. With its visceral energy and undeniable club appeal, ‘Bad Mouth’ doesn’t just demand attention—it commands it.
Marshmello x Svdden Death – Vortexblade
Logan Sasser
Getting a banger from Marshmello and SVDDEN DEATH was not on our 2025 bingo card, but the MELLODEATH Tapes Vol. I was a welcomed surprise — especially their ‘Vortexblade’ track. It’s a tune that isn’t exactly riddim, but it rides the line with grace and style.
From start to finish, ‘Vortexblade’ is pure energy. The sound design is grimy, and definitely heavy, but there’s a subtle undertone of experimental bass vibes that carry the track to through both high-octane bass drops with SVDDEN DEATH’s classic, spooky sound design.
Joy Orbison – flight fm
Rewinding back right to the start of the year, we were introduced to Joy Orbison’s heavyweight track ‘Flight Fm’ on XL Recordings. Having been teased in the clubs for some time during 2023, electronic dance fans were elated when this heater got its much-anticipated release in January. Throughout the last 12 months, it’s safe to say that this song has virtually been played out in every type of rave imaginable around the world, showing no signs of letting up any time soon. With a multitude of different artists from an array of different backgrounds remixing the track, it only further demonstrates how this exciting number has influenced the whole spectrum of underground music. We’ve witnessed a range of your favourite DJ’s playing at around 140 bpm attempt to double a fresh vocal on top of this unmistakable hefty beat. With the likes of Fred Again, Four Tet, and Skrillex all showing appreciation to the song. As a result, this has seen Orbison’s track reach a wider audience. Sonically, this tune has fused the compelling weight of bass music with the forward thinking style of electro. A track that definitely can’t be shoehorned into one category, its winding build-up followed by a dance floor crushing drop has created a legacy in electronic dance music that’ll live long past 2024.
Channell, Motiv, Luke Truth – Substance
Sam Yates
In his debut EP with The North Quarter, Channell hits a big six. But one particular stand-out was ‘Substance’ – produced with fellow friend Motiv, the two create magic by tossing in equal doses of energy and soul, finding a unique pulsing style that feels like it’s kicked off a trail-blaze of others who want to emulate it. Luke Truth joins for a breakout vocal performance, giving it that extra few strokes of passion, and making a name for himself in the process. Expect more fire from these three in the future. 
Tape B x Mersiv – Trippy Land ft. Juicy J
Logan Sasser
Hearing Juicy J introduce Mersiv and Tape B on their track ‘Trippy Land’ never gets old. Southern hip hop and dubstep isn’t exactly a new sensation (Juicy J actually made a song with Boregore back in 2016), but ‘Trippy Land’ is a reminder that some trends never die; nor should they.
Of course, Tape B and Mersiv continue to be some of the hottest acts in bass music, and the energy they captured together on “Trippy Land” proves they both deserve the respect and hype they’ve created for themselves throughout the past few years. Plus, we get a fantastic, high-energy verse AND hook from a hip hop legend. What more could you ask for?

REZZ Sparks New Visual Ideas After ANYMA Sphere Show

REZZ went to social media over the weekend to announce new visuals she and her team have been working on after seeing the new ANYMA show at the trending Las Vegas 360 Sphere. In the Instagram story, she says:
The Rezz Project
The REZZ project is a well-defined concept of a techno-house blend and dubstep. Altogether, it highlights a darker hypnotic style in the colors red, white, and black. Ukrainian-born Isabelle Rezazadeh started her journey as REZZ in 2013 on Soundcloud. Shortly after, in 2015 she released ‘Insurrection‘ on OWSLA. Later that year she continued her way into the big leagues by joining the Mau5trap label with ‘Serenity‘. Since then, Isabelle has surpassed millions of streams on countless tracks and played at the world’s top festivals like EDC, Electric Forest, ACL, Coachella, and more.
ANYMA’s Residency @ The Sphere, Las Vegas
The comments from REZZ and her new visuals in the works came directly after her experience with ANYMA’s first show as the first resident DJ at The Sphere, Las Vegas. This show is a milestone in ANYMA’s career and a sight to see. Why? ANYMA is known across the world for its live-show visuals. They have evolved from regular 2D to ground-breaking 3D visuals that illustrate a visual trick of the object coming off the screen. The Sphere is a wraparound 16K x 16K resolution LED screen that covers the entire interior and is considered to be the world’s largest high-resolution LED display, covering 160,000 square feet. The combination of ANYMA’s visuals and this venue is next level.

Dancing Astronaut’s 2024 Track of the Year + Top 100 Tracks of 2024

Words by Ross Goldenberg.
“Carry You” can only be defined as an abnormality.
Typically, Dancing Astronaut‘s Track of the Year selection is a release that originates within the same calendar year. For more reasons that one, “Carry You” is unlike many that have come before it. Immediately after Martin Garrix acquainted us with “Flashlights” — the track’s original, fan-dubbed alias following Ultra 2023 — pleas for the ID’s release hadn’t even begun to scratch the surface. But as the one-year anniversary of its debut began to inch closer, the questioned still remained: Would it ever see a release? Martin Garrix and Third Party disclosed that the wait wasn’t without reason. They were simply opting to hold off on its conversion from live exclusive to streaming upload until they were able to place what they believed needed to be a flawless vocal over what many — including us — believed to be a flawless instrumental.
They did.
In many prior instances, an instrumental’s vocal mix is — unfortunately — unable to live up to the potential of its lyric-less form. “Carry You” is a rare case that confirms the opposite can be possible.
On one late-January evening, we began to receive Instagram direct messages with videos from fans that were in attendance at Third Party’s show at Opium Barcelona. That first listen of “Carry You” was one of those moments where you start envisioning the future Dancing Astronaut social media posts about its release anniversary in one, five, or even ten years down the road. Martin Garrix and Third Party had called in Winona Oak — who went under her alias of Oaks for this release — as well as Declan J Donovan. They did the impossible: they perfected an already perfect piece of music with a male-female duet for the ages. Less than a month later, Garrix would open the doors to IDEM — a STMPD RCRDS EP that would later comprise of four coveted Garrix IDs — with what would eventually create the basis for our 2024 Track of the Year title.
We didn’t want to get ahead of ourselves earlier this year, but 10 months removed from February 16 and we are now comfortable doubling down on the following claim: “Carry You” evokes the same feeling that “Calling (Lose My Mind)” — better known as “ID – ID” in the Dancing Astronaut universe — did 12 years prior. And while it may still be too soon to formally rank “Carry You” beside tracks like the one Alesso, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Ryan Tedder were behind in 2012, we have minimal doubts that it has the ability to reach that status in due time.

While we’ve decided to only name a singular Dancing Astronaut Track of the Year in 2024 — despite opting to co-name three in recent years — we still wanted to recognize two other tracks that — in our eyes — closely trail behind “Carry You.”
The first of our two honorable mentions for 2024 Track of the Year fittingly arrives via Dancing Astronaut‘s 2024 Artist of the Year. ISOxo and Knock2’s Ultra ID-turned-trap-anthem with RL Grime unmistakable reconfirmed that the genre of trap is alive and well with the making of “SMACK TALK.” Similarly to “SMACK TALK,” our second honorable mention for 2024 Track of the Year also derives from one of our end-of-year awards: Dancing Astronaut‘s Top Albums of 2024. Justice and Tame Impala’s first linked up at the top of 2024 for “One Night / All Night.” And while that initial HYPERDRAMA pairing was memorable on its own, they one-upped themselves with a second go-around on Justice’s fourth LP: “Neverender.”
Of course, the past 12 months in dance music cannot solely be boiled down to the above three releases, which is why our annual series of Dancing Astronaut’s Top 100 Tracks of the Year — in alphabetical order — has returned once again. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

iPhone 17 Pro Leaked Images Reveal Major Design Overhaul

The Chinese outlet My Drivers just leaked images that, if accurate, would reveal major changes to the iPhone 17 Pro design — the first since the 14 Pro in 2022. The images show a new front look, including a horizontal island where the lenses are. However, it may seem as if the new design is pretty similar to the Pixel phone’s front camera, Let’s take a look!
iPhone 17 Pro Leak
The report went back to analyst Jeff Pu‘s claims in May. According to Pu, this new design will use metalens for the Face ID system to make the cutout narrower, instead of the bigger Dynamic Island from the past few models.
Metalens, or metasurface lens, is an optical lens that uses nanostructured materials. Unlike traditional smartphones, these lenses do not rely on the curvature of their surface to manipulate light. As a result, the lenses are flat and lightweight, this way companies can manufacture simpler designs without bulky lenses.
The report provides a sample image of that the new flat Dynamic Island will look like.Moreover, the report shows smaller bezels on the new Iphone Pro. Of course, we are not getting an all-glass Iphone anytime soon, but this seems to be a good start towards that future.
Meanwhile, there are contrasting leaks, which showcase a horizontally stacked camera array. In the hopes that Apple does indeed provide new designs for the new Pro series, we can at least wish that one of these leaks comes to fruition. What do you think, are we upgrading or not really?

The End of Genesys: Inside Anyma’s Revolutionary Performance at The Sphere

An unprecedented mix of electronic music and visual talent pushing the envelope of live entertainment is shown in the freshly unearthed footage of Anyma’s “The End of Genesys” concert at The Sphere. The one-hour and forty-five-minute performance explains why this event among electronic music’s most discussed ones has grown to be so popular.
Starting with the title song “The End of Genesys,” which features Grimes‘ ethereal acapella from “Welcome to the Opera,” the play opens abruptly. With the robotic cello duet making their initial appearance, the huge LED canvas of The Sphere instantly creates an otherworldly environment. Precisely timed with the music, the universal robots produce an eerie visual and aural experience that defines the tone of the whole concert.
The visual narrative starts to manifest when the program moves from Chris Avantgarde‘s “Consciousness” into “Explore Your Future.” From abstract geometric patterns to fully formed cybernetic settings, the 16K resolution display of The Sphere changes the room into many digital landscapes. The flawless mix of images with the music reveals the cooperation with visual artists De Vecchi, Gremmler, and Wessely.
With “Anyma & Grimes pres. The Last Artists – Taratata,” which stars Grimes and makes best use of the Sphere’s immersive qualities, the performance reaches an early climax. One especially highlights the cooperation with RÜFÜS DU SOL on “You Make Me,” since the Sphere’s HOLOPLOT sound system provides crystal-clear sounds filling the large area without overpowering it.
Particularly clear are the technical prowess of the act on songs like “Simulation” (SCRIPT Remix) and “From Japan,” where the robotic musicians mingle naturally with the electronic components. Particularly helpful during the more reflective times in tracks like “Pictures of You” and “Samsara” starring Sevdaliza, the Sphere’s wrap-around display generates a sensation of endless space.
Anyma Sphere Las Vegas The four acts
Each act’s visual theme is distinct yet connected. There are 4 acts:
Act I (Opening segments): Focuses on the birth of consciousness with organic, flowing visuals Act II (Mid-section): Emphasizes human connection through intimate, skin-like textures Act III (Climax): Features accelerating technological patterns Act IV (Closing): Incorporates quantum-inspired visualizations The Fred remix once more and Swedish House Mafia’s “Turn On The Lights Again..” marks a turning moment in the show as the production completely embraces its dance music roots while nevertheless keeping its creative vision. The Anyma remix of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” is a potent penultimate moment before the emotionally intense “Eternity” finishes the event.
Featuring works with musicians spanning the electronic music spectrum, the well-chosen tracklist highlights Anyma’s cooperative attitude. From the experimental sounds of Y do I to the popular appeal of Empire Of The Sun, every partnership adds a different element to the story.
Technical Achievement: The Las Vegas Sphere
The technical capacity of the Sphere is stretched to its utmost over the performance. The 16K resolution wrap-around LED screen of the theater produces an unparalleled degree of immersion; the HOLOPLOT sound system provides perfect audio that keeps clarity even in the most intricate configurations. Robotic musicians provide the show’s investigation of human-machine interaction as a physical component.
What’s next for Anyma?
“Eternity,” a fitting farewell to a performance that stretches the possibilities in electronic music performance, closes the concert. Modern technology, creative musical arrangements, and careful artistic direction taken together produce an experience that satisfies its ambitious idea.
Beyond only its technological prowess, “The End of Genesys” excels in telling its story about the development of consciousness and the interaction between people and technology. The program marks a turning point in the history of electronic music and establishes a new benchmark for live performance expectations.
Anyma’s performance at The Sphere will probably be regarded as a turning point when the lines separating concert, art installation, and technology showcase vanish completely as the electronic music community looks to the future.

Parra for Cuva remixes “A Life” by Christian Löffler

Parra for Cuva‘s “A Life” remix by Christian Löffler is a magnificent reinterpretation highlighting the transforming potential of teamwork in electronic music. Löffler’s original music is rich in ambient beauty, but Parra for Cuva gives the work a fresh perspective and creates a more muted yet richly textured rendition that takes listeners on an introspective aural trip.
One may compare Parra for Cuva’s method of the remix to the delicate craft of augmentation. In his own words, the approach—a beautiful description that captures the core of this rereading—involved “uncovering a hidden forest amid a familiar landscape.” Respecting the emotional core, he weaves in further layers of rhythm and texture, therefore preserving the ethereal nature of Löffler’s work. This approach emphasizes his great awareness of Löffler’s artistic aptitude and his own capacity to accentuate it without taking front stage.
Starting with an inviting subtlety, the remix builds its elements to immerse the listener in a calm environment over time. Parra for Cuva’s trademark use of organic sounds and soft beats meld perfectly with the sorrowful overtones of the original to create a magical atmosphere. The gentle whisper of the song invites the listener to stop, consider, and let herself go in its calm flow.
The introspective quality of the remix is among its most arresting elements. Although the original “A Life” has cinematic grandeur, the remix turns the emphasis inside. This more subdued approach emphasizes the subtle interaction of melody and rhythm, producing a work that seems quite personal yet generally reasonable. This is music that speaks to the soul as much as the ears, evidence of the talent and vision of Löffler and Parra for Cuva.
“A Life (Parra for Cuva Remix) is ultimately a calm masterwork. It is a shining example of reinterpretation, in which two different artistic views combine to produce something both known and shockingly original. This remix is a must-listener for supporters of either artist or those looking for a contemplative audio escape since it provides a gentle but strong reminder of the ability of music to inspire and change.

Sasson Ignites the Scene with Debut Solo Single “Energy”

Sasson, has put out his first solo single, “Energy,” adding a fresh jewel to honor in the realm of electronic music. Featuring the captivating vocals of Drea, this tune is an appealing mix of Afro-house rhythms and rich melodic pads that promise to enthrall the dancefloor and the airways.
For Sasson, “Energy” is a statement rather than only another release. Comprising months of painstaking production and artistic inquiry, the tune captures the artist’s development and his deft merging of several musical influences. Afro house functions as the driving heartbeat with its hypnotic rhythms and groove-rich basis. Rising melodic elements give an ethereal quality, therefore producing a soundscape as vivid as it is expressive.
Drea’s vocal delivery gives “Energy” still another degree of excellence. Her voice, strong and soulful at the same time, dances across the beats with a magnetic attraction that balances the complex production. It’s a natural combination, as though the vocals and music were always supposed to cohabit in this forceful work.
Early listeners praising “Energy” as a unique song bridging the gap between club culture and general appeal have already started ripples. While radio stations are grabbing it for its accessible but polished sound, DJs have complimented its capacity to excite a crowd. This duality is evidence of Sasson’s ability to create songs that fit several environments and listeners.
Regarding the project, Sasson expressed his enthusiasm: “For me, this track has been a tremendous trip. My musical career is opening a new chapter, and I wanted it to convey my love of combining several inspirations. Working with Drea was an amazing experience; her vocals gave the tune a certain enchantment.”
Now stream “Energy” and experience the pulse of Sasson’s explosive debut, a song as dynamic and forceful as its title would suggest.

[WATCH] Paul Arcane And Abaze Deliver Masterful Performance Over The Skyline Of Santiago

The two turned to the W Santiago hotel to present a special set on its rooftop.
What happens when two prolific producers collide for a good time together? Incredible things, dare I say. Not long ago, two of the best exponents of Progressive House in Chile, Abaze and Paul Arcane, joined forces to present a masterfully executed hourlong set on top of one of the highest-rated hotels in the Chilean capital, W Santiago.
Located in the heart of the city, the rooftop allows for stunning views of the skyline, looking down on apartments, houses, a golf course, and the imponent San Cristóbal Hill, located just a few hundred metres away. The boys’ performance served as the closing act of Sunday Funday, a series of day parties carried out bimonthly.
Sunday Funday parties. What’s interesting about the set and how it’s arranged, is that it is 100% their music, either Paul’s, Abaze’s, or collaborations. “After years of perfecting our projects and leaving a bold mark in the international scene, Paul and I decided to take our music to another level“, Abaze recalls. Meanwhile, Paul adds, “When speaking of music, Abaze and I have a very special synergy. A large chunk of that comes both from our passion and devotion to produce, as well as our experience and ears which we’ve refined through the years“.

Spotify CEO Becomes Wealthier Than Any Musician in History

Daniel Ek, co-founder and CEO of Spotify, has built an impressive fortune estimated at $6.7 billion, according to Forbes. This immense wealth positions him as wealthier than any musician in history, which raises many concerns in the industry.
Launched in 2008 after being founded in 2006 by Ek and Martin Lorentzon, Spotify has become a dominant force in the music streaming industry. The platform currently boasts over 381 million active users, with 172 million of them subscribing to its premium service. This massive global reach has solidified Spotify as an essential tool for both artists and listeners. Spotify operates under a dual-class share structure, with Ek holding close to 9% of the company’s shares and controlling 37% of the voting power. This ensures he maintains significant influence over the platform’s strategic direction.
What sets Ek apart is how his financial success eclipses even the biggest names in music, including Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, and Michael Jackson. Despite their iconic status and massive commercial achievements, none have reached the financial heights that Ek has attained through Spotify. Even though the feat is pretty remarkable, it’s no secret that Spotify’s financial model is not entirely fair for the biggest contributors : the artists. This news highlight once again the dichotomy on the financial standpoint between the different actors in the industry. It’s safe to say the EDM community hopes for a change one day.
Stay tuned for more news!
