[ThatDrop] Luca Musto Offers Progressive Jazz from the Dungeons of Berlin on ‘Calling Columbus’ EP

When its Sunday night and you coming off a long weekend of music its the ringing from Luca Musto‘s ‘Calling Columbus’ you would want to hear start growing in volume to sooth your mind. The Italian’s Moodfamily release brings us his take on soul, jazz and blues from the dungeons of Berlin.
Opening with a lush ‘Missing Ya’, Luca closes the EP with ‘OG Flex’ that showcases Luca’s ability to create a seemingly formless jazz beat and pull it in tight to keep the dance floor invested. The dark atmospheres allow this release to live during late hours at the club or on introspective Sundays.

Download
In this EP Luca is stepping out of his comfort zone, ripping through the seams of downtempo safety nets and into the uncharted waters of a career’s next level. It’s bold. It’s raw. It’s the sound of an artist refusing to stand still.
“I worked on these tracks early in 2024,” Luca says, “and spent the summer road-testing them across Europe—clubs, festivals, wherever the music could speak. The feedback shaped the final version of each song, turning good ideas into great ones.” You can hear it in the details. Each beat is a story. Each melody, a confession.
Luca has been diligent during recent performances at Fusion Festival and Poland’s Summer Contrast Festival alongside Christian Löffler, Oliver Koletzki, Out of Orbit, and Dubfire. While he has also grow a reputation for being dialed in at clubs such as Kater and Beate Uwe.
Luca is not the type to sit back and ride on yesterday’s successes. He’s ditching the comfort of slow-house, shaking off the safety net, and diving headfirst into the unknown. It’s raw, it’s risky, and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed. Luca Musto isn’t just making music; he’s turning the page on himself, one track at a time.
The Moodfamily is made up of a bunch of sonic misfits, tuning freaks and head-bopping adventurers. Their label and the Moodcast has become a gathering place for friends to bond over their selection of well produced soft, deep, organic and progressive house records that bring elegant energy and authentic sonic explorations. Here is Luca Musto’s Moodcast to send you on your way.

[GrooveCartel] Insomniac and Tomorrowland tease new collaboration

Messages sent in secret on social media by two of the biggest names in dance music have sparked a lot of rumors about possible cooperation between these two titans. The electronic music community is excited because Insomniac Events and Tomorrowland look like they will break down barriers between continents and change the event scene forever.
When Insomniac Events, North America’s biggest festival company and owner of EDC Las Vegas, Hard Summer, and Beyond Wonderland, shared a stunning picture of Tomorrowland’s famous logo lit up by drones against the night sky above the legendary mainstage at the Belgian festival, everyone in the dance music world got heart palpitations. The caption “Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever“—Tomorrowland’s spiritual mantra—shook social media and started a firestorm of ideas and dreams.
Answering this ethereal call from across the Atlantic, Tomorrowland responded with the same mysterious energy by posting Insomniac’s butterfly logo along with the powerful phrase “All Are Welcome Here.” These timed messages haven’t just led to speculation; they’ve caused a culture earthquake in the dance community around the world.
The evidence doesn’t just point to a possibility; it points to a likelihood. These aren’t casual conversations on social media; they’re carefully planned messages coming from the top of both companies. What we’re seeing is probably just the beginning of a symphony of creative works between some of the most innovative people in dance music.
The most exciting idea is about the return of TomorrowWorld, Tomorrowland’s American version that shut down after its troubled 2015 Georgia edition left thousands of people stuck in mud and chaos during heavy rain. Because Insomniac has the best infrastructure and operational knowledge in North America, the conditions are right for TomorrowWorld to come back and win, this time with the help of good domestic logistics mastery.
Another interesting idea is for Tomorrowland’s stunning set designs to show up at Insomniac events, while EDC’s cutting-edge tech moves to Belgium. This cultural exchange would allow festivals that were once seen as rivals to share their artistic DNA in a way that has never been done before.
The most ambitious rumors are about a brand-new festival idea that takes the best parts of both names and makes something completely new. Imagine Tomorrowland’s mythological stories and high-end dramatic production values coming together with Insomniac’s cutting-edge technology and wide range of musical selections.
Even though official news hasn’t come out yet, people who like electronic music are now very excited. No matter what form this partnership takes, it will definitely change the future of festival culture. The timing of these social media posts makes it seem more like they were meant to be together than just an accident. It looks like someone is planning to reveal something big that is coming up.

[EDMTunes] Tomorrowland & Insomniac Tease New Collaboration Between the 2 Festival Giants

After more than ten years, speculation is running wild about a potential new U.S. festival from the creators of Tomorrowland. The Belgian festival recently shared an image of Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) on its social media, while EDC and its parent company, Insomniac Events, posted a picture of Tomorrowland in return.
While many fans immediately assumed that this meant the return of TomorrowWorld, sources close to the matter have hinted that this is not the case. Instead, something entirely new may be in the works—potentially a fresh collaboration between Tomorrowland and Insomniac Events, the powerhouse behind EDC, Beyond Wonderland, Nocturnal Wonderland, and Escape Halloween.

TomorrowWorld was the American edition of Tomorrowland, which took place in the U.S. but was short-lived due to the collapse of SFX Entertainment. Despite its ambitious vision, the festival only lasted two editions, with the final event in 2015 ending in disaster after heavy storms turned the venue into an impassable mud field, stranding thousands of attendees.
This cryptic teaser has already sent the dance music world abuzz, and an official announcement is expected in the coming weeks. Whatever it is, something big is on the horizon. Stay tuned!

[EDM House Network] Insomniac and Tomorrowland Hint Towards Something Major!

In the past hour, Insomniac and Tomorrowland have sent waves through the electronic dance music community with their cryptic Instagram posts. The 2 festival giants shared each other’s mainstage photos, swapping taglines in their captions that sparked major rumors and intrigue among fans worldwide.
While the posts don’t explicitly reveal any concrete plans, the unusual collaboration has left fans guessing: Is a merger in the works? Could this be the beginning of a major partnership, or is something even bigger on the horizon?
One possibility that’s really gaining traction is the revival of TomorrowWorld. TomorrowWorld was a US based spinoff of the world famous Tomorrowland and took place annually from 2013 to 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. Though the festival initially saw success, it was plagued by unpredictable weather resulting in significant production damage, financial losses, and the eventual cancellation of the event. Since the last edition in 2015, fans have eagerly awaited TomorrowWorld’s return to the United States.
As speculation continues, we’re keeping an eye on any new developments. Could TomorrowWorld be making a comeback? Or is something entirely different on the way? Stay tuned for updates as we continue to gather more information. What do you think this collaboration means for the future of these two festivals?

J. Worra is a well-known name in the underground dance scene for making cutting-edge house music that mixes old-school elements with modern club sounds. “Can’t Get Enough” is no different—its pulsing drum patterns, haunting pads, and warbling synth leads create a lysergic appeal that is hard to resist. The sultry, R&B-tinged vocals of Haley May give the track a tempting intensity that makes it a peak-time weapon.
J. Worra has had a string of hit songs on Insomniac Records, such as “Dancing At The Disco,” “Lightning To Strike,” and “Burn This House.” These got a lot of airplay on BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM, 538 Dance, Ibiza 1, SLAM!, and Radio Metro. Billboard and Beatportal also wrote about them.
In the meantime, Haley May is still making moves in the world of dance music. Gorgon City, John Summit, Dillon Francis, Tiësto, and Louis The Child are just a few of the artists she has worked with or written songs with. She is a sought-after force in the scene because of her unique voice and natural knack for writing catchy hooks.

[GrooveCartel] Lauren Mia returns to Interstellar with new single “Together As One”

Multidisciplinary artist and producer Lauren Mia keeps going strong with “Together As One,” which features Luke Coulson and is released by Insomniac Records’ Interstellar Recordings. The release is her return to the label after “Freedom” last year. It comes at the same time that her own Halcyon Label is having a strong launch.
“Together As One” shows how Lauren Mia’s artistic vision is changing by combining her signature melodic style with Coulson’s unique singing. The song is her latest attempt to explore awareness and connection through electronic music. It builds on the ideas she explored in her recent Halcyon Label debut, “Sapiosensual,” which got support from big names like Layton Giordani, Yotto, Ben Malone (KISS FM), and Pretty Pink. The launch of Halcyon was a big step forward for Lauren’s art. She is now able to balance her ambitious goals as an independent artist with putting out songs with important labels in her field.
Lauren Mia and her career
The single’s release comes after a very busy time for Lauren Mia. To build on the success of her Armada Music Electronic Elements debut single “Halcyon” in late 2024, she released “Sapiosensual” in January as the first release on the Halcyon Label. Her most recent work includes covers for Boris Brejcha’s Fckng Serious label and Pretty Pink, as well as her own EP called “Spectral Reverie.” Her first record, “RE:BIRTH,” came out in late 2023 and was followed by a 10-track remix compilation with new versions of her songs by Alfa Romero, Aalson, SKALA, Anakim, Binaryh, and others.
Along with her work in the studio, Lauren Mia’s live shows in 2024 at prestigious venues such as Brooklyn Mirage/Avant Gardner, Hi Ibiza, and Soho Garden showed how her musical philosophy could be used in real life. Her performances at the Zamna, About You Pangea, and Magic Break festivals have made her even more well-known around the world. Her lengthy tours of India, Europe, the US, and Australasia have also helped build her reputation. This momentum will continue into 2025, as Lauren has announced that she will make her debut festival performance at EDC Las Vegas as part of the Interstellar Recordings showcase.
Lauren Mia is still growing as an artist, and “Together As One” is another important step on her way from being an up-and-coming songwriter to a well-known leader in electronic music. Since she started making music in 2016, she has constantly pushed the limits of her craft while staying true to herself. From playing with big names like Adriatique, Mind Against, and Kaskade to starting her own label, her career shows that she has both professional skill and artistic vision. She brings her divine feminine energy to the top of electronic music with every release and performance, creating soundscapes that break rules and make deep emotional connections with people all over the world.

[GrooveCartel] Brock B’s “Faded Memories” Is Where Nostalgia Melts into Tomorrow’s Dawn

Brock B‘s latest song, “Faded Memories,” sounds like the quiet shores of Tulum. It’s a bright preview of his upcoming deep tech-house album. This song doesn’t just play; it unfolds, showing layers of sound that move between being awake and dreaming.
This piece was released as a radio-friendly preview of “Sounds of Tulum (Techhouse sessions),” and it takes listeners on an emotional journey through both old and new areas. The production has a natural warmth to it while still keeping the exactness that has become Brock’s trademark in the underground scene.
“Faded Memories” stands out because it can be used in so many different ways. It creates a cocoon of contemplative sound in small lounges, great for conversations at dusk when time seems to have stopped. When played after hours, however, the same track releases a soft euphoria that pushes bodies through space with hypnotic insistence.
Brock has a great sense of how to make music that makes you feel things. Bass elements give the music a solid base, while airy synth washes throw off the sense of time, just like memories do as they move between being clear and vague. Because of this duality, dancers are sometimes caught in mental currents while their bodies are still moving.
The beauty is in how well it controls its emotions, knowing when to show them and when to hide them. When you listen to this careful balance, the experience becomes almost ritualistic, with each sound element serving the larger goal of transporting and changing you.

[EDM.com] ODESZA Are Coming Home for Special Foreign Family 10-Year Anniversary Show in Seattle

A decade ago, two college friends from Western Washington launched a record label that helped shape an era of electronic music. This summer, that passion comes full circle as ODESZA return to Seattle for a once-in-a-decade homecoming.
The duo announced a special performance in their hometown of Seattle to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Foreign Family Collective, the independent label and artist community they founded back in 2015. A decade after laying the first brick, they are building a stage to celebrate everything the brand has become, a haven for unconventional voices and a catalyst for an era of emotive electronic music.
"We were two kids starting Foreign Family for the love of music, community, and sharing incredible art," ODESZA wrote on Instagram. What a ride it’s been since March 2015… See you in Seattle on August 2nd. The lineup? That's a secret, for now."
That secret lineup only heightens the stakes considering Foreign Family has long served as a launchpad for genre-defying artists. From the label’s earliest days, ODESZA used their platform to elevate other emerging artists, many of whom would go on to contribute electronic sleeper hits like Jai Wolf's "Indian Summer" and Big Wild's "When I Get There."
To ensure tickets go directly to fans, ODESZA are using Fair AXS registration. Fans must register by Sunday, March 23rd at 10pm PT for a chance to purchase tickets.

[EDM.com] Apashe and Malaa Conjure Symphony of Techno and Orchestral Fury in New Single, "No Escape"

Apashe and Malaa have joined forces for "No Escape," a track that stomps through time, blurs genre boundaries and scorches through cathedral ceilings into the club underworld.
Rising like a gothic opera, the new collaboration is a dramatic fusion of orchestral melodrama and blistering techno that finds two of dance music's most theatrical minds operating at full force.
Long revered for fusing classical music with with cinematic bass, Apashe sets the scene like a film composer. His signature is unmistakable in the track's sweeping strings, almost medieval in tone. Just as those melodies soar, however, Malaa’s underground instincts ground them in an energy that turns the drama into pure propulsion.
"No Escape" lands shortly after Malaa’s ambitious double-album release, All In and Blackout, a creative duality that pitted the artist against his own alter ego in a split-personality exploration of his sound. For Apashe, the track continues his ongoing campaign to rewrite the rules of electronic music performance and composition.

[EDM.com] Funkin Matt Channels Past and Present Into New Heldeep Track, "Perfect Dark"

Funkin Matt is rewriting memories on his new single, "Perfect Dark."
Released today via Oliver Heldens’ Heldeep Records, the track marks the penultimate chapter of the Norwegian producer's Nostalgia EP, a project rooted in the wonder of the 1990s and 2000s. Evocative and unapologetically rhythmic, the track transforms those nostalgic echoes into a storm of energy built for 2025 dancefloors.
Matt pushes his artistic identity into new territory while maintaining a pulse that club veterans and new ravers alike will find magnetic. While his production leans into the textures of garage, it’s polished through a futuristic lens.
"This track blends my love for Afro-house music with huge synths," he explains. "It’s heavily rhythm-focused, where every percussion hit matters."
Matt additionally cites a post-festival creative rush as the catalyst behind his new EP. 
"After returning from Shambhala, an incredible festival nestled deep in the Canadian woods, I found myself in an inspired creative flow… it felt surreal, like a dream or a live movie set," he recalled.

[GrooveCartel] Masha Vincent & Pascale Voltaire Create Dance Floor Alchemy on Deep Tales

Masha Vincent‘s newest song, “Tenderness,” and Pascale Voltaire‘s masterful remix show how technical precision and raw emotional impact can come together.
It was released on the cutting-edge Deep Tales label and is a two-track trip that uses sound to explore vulnerability in new and deeply human ways. The original mix is like a hypnotic invitation. Vincent weaves a sound tapestry where strange melodic techno elements are woven together with Asian-inspired harmonies, making places where people can lose themselves and then find them again.
Vincent paid great attention to every detail in the production; each percussion part fits perfectly in the mix and works with the ethereal synth work instead of fighting with it. What’s most amazing about the track is that it stays emotional even though it’s very technically difficult. Too often, producers choose function over feeling, but Vincent makes the emotional effect stronger by carefully choosing the sounds he uses.

In her version, Pascale Voltaire changes this emotional base and sees it through a darker, faster lens. It is amazing how things have changed. While Vincent makes room for reflection, Voltaire produces a sense of urgency with a strong, wide baseline that moves the air around it. The remix doesn’t just adapt; it talks with the original, recognizing what it’s about while making its own unique style.
In Voltaire’s version, the second half adds eerie vocal parts that float above the rhythmic structure like ghosts, making moments of dissonant beauty in the middle of the constant drive. This mix of ethereal and earthbound elements reflects the main idea of the release, which is that tenderness can show up in places where energy is usually expected.

[EDM.com] INZO Launches New Label, Local Void Records, Promising "No Limitations" for Artists

INZO has launched a new label, Local Void Records, marking a significant milestone in the career of one of today's brightest electronic music producers.
The label, which has been a decade-long ambition for the Chicago-born DJ, aims to provide a platform for emerging artists struggling to gain visibility in today's increasingly competitive dance music landscape.
"Manifesting a platform that provides opportunities for other artists to have a chance of getting their music heard is something I'm extremely passionate about," INZO said in a statement. "I understand the struggle of how hard it is to get your music out there and this feels like a way I can give back."
INZO first gained significant attention in 2018 with the release of "Overthinker," a breakthrough release that interpolates a sample of Alan Watts' philosophical musings through lush, atmospheric production. "Young Majestic," released in 2024, was named by EDM.com as one of the year's best tracks. He's now primed for his debut performance at EDC Las Vegas, one of the world's largest festivals, and his first-ever headline at Colorado's fabled Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
The name "Local Void" draws inspiration from astronomical concepts, representing an expansive space with unlimited potential for artists to experiment.
"The void is not empty... it's a place of infinite possibility, INZO explained. "Just like that cosmic void, Local Void is a space where artists can push boundaries and explore new dimensions of sound without limitation. It's a home for anyone who feels their music has something unique to offer, and it’s a space that will continually evolve, welcoming new voices and fresh ideas."
While the initial focus of Local Void will be on releasing music, INZO revealed plans for broader development. The label has assembled what he describes as "a team of passionate individuals who are excited to grow this entity into something bigger with the mission of uplifting and inspiring others."
The first releases from Local Void Records are expected to be announced in the weeks ahead. You can find out more about the new label at its official website.
