Descend Into the Horror Manga-Inspired Mayhem of Munchkin Kat's "UZUMAKI"

Munchkin Kat is back with a new single, "UZUMAKI," dragging listeners into a twisted realm where glitch-hop and bass music collide.
The track's title derives from the work of famed horror manga artist Junji Ito, whose beloved series of the same name was inspired by the iconic fantasy writer H.P. Lovecraft. Ito's surrealist story is about a quiet town that descends into madness when people become obsessed with the concept of spirals.
Munchkin Kat beautifully channels Ito's timeless work through a dark and disorienting banger with bass that writhes like a living, breathing entity. The track's relentless drive mimics the inescapable pull of Ito's spirals, each cinematic layer coiling tighter around our ears.
Meanwhile, the producer's textured synths eerily glide through the mix while glitchy percussion rattles like bones in a digitized graveyard. To that end, "UZUMAKI" doesn't just pay homage to horror—it becomes horror, transforming Ito's visual nightmares into an auditory blitz that leaves the mind reeling.
You can listen to "UZUMAKI" below.

DJs Pay Musical Tribute To The Racing Icon Ayrton Senna

They say legends remain with us even after passing away through their impact in our lives and how people immortalize them. In the commemory of 30 years since legendary race car driver Ayrton Senna passed away in the San Marino Grand Prix, many iconic DJs united to deliver the album Senna Driven to serve as tribute of the famous figure. Many artists such as Armin van Buuren, Alok, and Vintage Culture took part of this project.
Senna Driven
The album is a 21 track long feature, which includes quotes by the amazing driver on each track. The album release coincides with the Formula 1 São Paulo Grand Prix. The late Senna won this race in 1991. The album is a compilation of Trance, Techno, and other distinctive sounds that will get you ready to compete. Other contributors include Meduza, Tchami, Ken Ishii, and Nervo.
Most recently, Armin van Buuren brought Brazilian DJ Alok onto the Tomorrowland Brasil main stage to play their track from this album together. Armin also brought one of Senna’s helmets to the stage. Armin van Buuren earned the world’s best trance DJ title in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll for 2024. Brazilian DJs Alok and Vintage Culture made it to the list as well at No.4 and No.9 respectively.
Meduza took said a few words to honor the driver:
“Ayrton Senna was not just a driver. Being born in the ’80s, we had the chance to see him on the track. We remember the way he took corners differently from everyone else, and similarly, when he got out of the car, he distinguished himself from others by what he said in interviews. Despite being an extraordinary talent, he was the first to defend the weakest,” Meduza explained
Get ready for the race of your life. Senna Driven is avaiable digitally now, with a vinyl release expected in 2025.

More than a feature—How Hayla’s ‘DUSK’ redefines her artistic identity [Interview]

Every so often, a vocalist emerges at the forefront of the dance music scene, where he or she evolves into a cultural icon. If it’s not John Martin, Dylan Matthew, or Becky Hill, it’s Liverpool-bred vocal powerhouse Hayla, whose debut solo album, DUSK, has freshly landed. Primarily known for her topline contributions on world-renowned dance records, namely John Summit‘s “Where You Are,” Sub Focus‘ “I Found You,” and, more recently, MEDUZA‘s “Another World,” among others, Hayla, born Hayley Williams, has rapidly risen the ranks as a front-running singer/songwriter in modern electronic music. Riding the wave of her explosive success, Hayla’s debut album marks an independent path forward for the UK singer, performer, musician, and now, music producer.
Before its November 1 delivery, six of DUSK‘s album inclusions arrived as early-release singles. “Treading Water,” written and produced alongside Andy Sheldrake and Oliver Reed, materialized as the album’s first one-off preview in August 2022. Two months later, Andy Sheldrake-assisted “Unfold” hit digital stores as a sonic metaphor about “people’s perception of others as if they were a piece of art.” In 2023, Hayla piggybacked on the seismic upheaval achieved by “Where You Are” with the release of “Fall Again,” co-produced by Owen Jones, Ross Walsh & Alex Tepper, before issuing the final two album previews, “Freefall” and “Only I,” in 2024.
Like most artists, Hayla enlisted songwriting and production support from respected industry tastemakers during the creation of DUSK. With that said, she took on the grand feat of producing the project’s title track, the last on the album, all on her own. “I was incredibly nervous about putting [‘DUSK’] on the album,” the producer revealed, adding,
Distinguished by swelling pads, layered background vocals, and a bouncy synth topline, “DUSK” caps the album as an authentic resemblance of Hayla’s musicianship and taste-making abilities, “I wanted to throw myself into the deep end, and I’m really happy that I did.”
DUSK consists of ten tracks—ten tracks starring, not featuring, Hayla. The UK singer hopes her solo project will appeal to fans of her celebrated collaborations while also showcasing a more vulnerable side of her artistry, “I think I’ve managed to balance the sound and energy from my collaborations with this other side of me,” she explains. “I’m hoping audiences don’t feel alienated from who I am, and what I’d been doing with other artists, because that’s a big part of me as well.” She elaborates,
Hayla’s innate knack for songwriting pins her as much more than an EDM topliner, bolstering her credibility in a predominantly male-dominated scene. “It feels amazing to be earning these kinds of accolades in a male dominated genre,” says Hayla, who clinched two Electronic Dance Music Awards for “Vocalist Of The Year” and “Dance Song Of The Year” in 2024. Coming from a “band background,” Hayla’s fleshed out dance records can all be completely stripped back, an example being her 2018-released acoustic rendition of “I Need,” originally produced by UK drum-and-bass artist Wilkinson.
On December 4th, Hayla will perform her first headline show at Los Angeles’ famed The Roxy Theatre. “It’s going to be a fun evening,” Hayla remarks. Attendees might expect some special arrangements of songs from Hayla’s esteemed repertoire. They also might expect the availability of exclusive vinyl copies of a certain debut album, “Yes, there might be some vinyl, potentially, for some people who turn up. I will reveal more about that soon.”
With the release of her debut album, Hayla is postured to elevate even beyond her famous features come 2025. Buy tickets to Hayla’s upcoming headline show in LA here, listen—for the first time—to the recorded Dancing Astronaut Hayla interview here, and be sure to stream DUSK, in its entirety, below.

Dimitri Vegas Lights Up Duggal Greenhouse with Sold Out Show

Last weekend, Ignite Group’s Twilight Harbor Festival transformed the Duggal Greenhouse into a mesmerizing realm of electronic music and Halloween spookies. Headlined by Dimitri Vegas, the event was a sensory overload of high hitting beats, dazzling visuals, and a spooky atmosphere.
Duggal Greenhouse, a breathtaking industrial space, was adorned with eerie decorations and state-of-the-art lighting, creating the venue into a Halloween festive party. In addition to photo ops, there was also a haunted house that attendees could check out. There was also a complimentary food festival featuring a diverse range of culinary delights, and even a live tuna cutting!
Starting off the night, Bassjackers, the dynamic duo known for their hard-hitting basslines and energetic performances, fired up the crowd with their high-octane set. Tracks like ‘All Around the World’ and ‘Bla Bla Bla’ had the audience jumping and cheering, as their signature blend of big room and electro house filled the air. They also performed their latest track ‘Wake the F Up’ which features an alarm clock intro which got everyone a bit confused in the first few seconds but got them all exploding in cheers once the track dropped. It definitely set the tone for the rest of the night.
As the night progressed, Dimitri Vegas took the stage in his Spider man suit, captivating the crowd with his signature blend of high-energy tracks and big room sounds. The setlist was a carefully curated journey through the realms of big room, techno, progressive, and techno. Dimitri’s seamless mixing and track selection showcased not only his technical prowess but also his ability to read the crowd and keep them engaged. The energy was constant and nonstop pumping throughout the performance. My personal favorite track of the night is his track ‘Thank You (Not So Bad)’ with Tiesto.
For those wanting to continue the party, Ignite Group has a few more shows coming up with R3HAB, and TJR on November 2nd and William Black on November 3rd. Check out the full lineup below.

IND:RA & Cruel But Fair Link On Melodic House & Techno Single ‘Rebel’

London-based DJ and Producer IND:RA teams up with Cruel But Fair for his latest Melodic House & Techno single, ‘Rebel’, released through his label, Desert Disco Records. Infusing a driving rhythm with expressive vocal lines and captivating motifs, this release captures IND:RA’s signature style while introducing fresh nuances through the unique influence of Cruel But Fair.

In this latest collaboration with Cruel But Fair, IND:RA expands his sonic horizons, adding a new dimension to his catalogue. ‘Rebel’ unfolds as a deep and immersive soundscape, blending powerful beats, pulsating basslines, and captivating vocal hooks. As the track intensifies, layers of dynamic energy and suspenseful sound emerge, weaving in punchy leads, rhythmic arpeggiators, and ethereal pads, the breakdown highlights the vocals, steering the progression as atmospheric textures and striking synths join the mix. The momentum of the track is maintained, keeping listeners enthralled as ‘Rebel’ continues to evolve seamlessly until its conclusion.
The collaboration draws on the rich backstory of Cruel But Fair’s track ‘Bruno’ that was used in the production of ‘Rebel;’ about this song the band members, Simon, Nigel and Mark said:“Nigel spent some time in Hamburg, and it inspired ‘Bruno’, which is from Cruel But Fair’s album Altona. It’s about Bruno Tesch, who was a plumber and a leader of a counter demonstration against a march by Nazis through Altona, a working-class district of Hamburg in 1932. 18 people were shot dead by the police and many more injured. Bruno and the other leaders were falsely convicted and executed the following year after a ‘show trial.’ Simon thought ALTONA was a strong image, the theme inspired a few songs on the album, and we think the theme resonates today.”
With ‘Rebel’, IND:RA and Cruel But Fair deliver a track that embodies their creative synergy, offering an uniquely crafted fusion of their distinctive musical styles, so don’t forget to follow both artists on social media to stay in the loop about their future releases, live performances, and more exciting projects on the horizon.

Mathame & Lyke Offer Dark Twist With ‘Discovery Channel’

Today, critically acclaimed Italian Emo-Tech duo Mathame officially unleashed their highly-anticipated single, ‘Discovery Channel’ via Republic and Casablanca Records. The collaboration with Lyke arrives hot on the heels of the duo’s high-octane performances during ADE where they tantalized fans with the explosive track, making it a staple in their sets throughout the week.
Discovery Channel
The track’s pulsating beat immediately plunges listeners deep into the throws of Mathame’s innovative spirit. At the same time, the driving bassline sets an infectious rhythm and promises an unparalleled sonic journey. The track is driven forward with an instantly recognizable lyrical sample from Bloodhound Gang’s ‘The Bad Touch’. The sample bursts with nostalgia and adds a viscerally addictive layer to the track.
‘Discovery Channel’ showcases Mathame’s technical prowess and boundless vitality as they continue to breathe new life into tracks of other genres and decades. The hard-hitting masterpiece unleashes a euphoric wave of sound. In effect, it invites listeners across the globe to dive deep into the duo’s effervescent vision. Meanwhile, they continue to carve out a unique space for themselves and push the limits of the genre.
Mathame
Mathame had some words regarding the track: “For us, despite the seemingly light-hearted nature of the original track, it’s one of the most profound memories from our adolescence. It was the golden age of MTV, and The Bad Touch was one of the first music videos we ever saw. Beneath the humor and the energy, we always felt there was this dark, hypnotic melancholy lurking underneath. So, when Lyke suggested we work on it, it was almost instinctive—it felt so natural to bring out that darker tone we had always sensed“.
2024 has marked a triumphant return of Mathame’s shared artistic vision. First, it saw the releases of critically-acclaimed singles ‘I Will Find You,’ and ‘Angel’. This accompanied their groundbreaking residency – NEO – at Ibiza’s fabled electronic temple, Amnesia. The event coalesced music and art, bridging the gap between ancient and modern. Moreover, it oversaw the completion of their AV Shows with an electrifying performance during Tomorrowland Weekend One.
Besides, it was a one-of-a-kind, first-ever full-length AI-generated feature film in a public venue. On October 5, the duo officially unveiled NEO World, their highly-anticipated world tour, debuted at the iconic Brooklyn Mirage. The two-hour show involved a 360-degree immersive sonic experience, coalescing music and art. Lastly, it centered around the reimagined, nine-meter-tall humanoid – NEO –. The latter is the physical manifestation of the duo’s connective ethos and symbol of unity and peace.
Nothing like a revival of our teenage years into an adult interpretation of those hazy dreams. Here is ‘Discovery Channel’:

Jon Hopkins And NASA Will Send A Track To The Moon

English electronic music producer Jon Hopkins is teaming up with NASA in producing a single by the title of ‘Forever Held’. This single, which also features the string arrangements of Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds, has a very unique aspect to it as it will get to venture into the moon itself. According to an article from DJ Mag, the journey that the ‘Forever Held’ will undergo is a part of NASA’s “Space For Earth” installation at the space agency’s HQ in Washington D.C. and it will be a very spectacular journey. This installation is a mesmerizing audiovisual experience that allows small groups of viewers to see Earth from space. To add more scientific wonder and intrigue to ‘Forever Held’, the journey that the single will take part in is a part of NASA’s “Lunar Codex” time capsule, which contains works coming from over 35,000 contemporary writers, musicians, artists, and filmmakers.
The planned voyage of Jon Hopkins and Ólafur Arnalds’ ‘Forever Held’ is not the first time that NASA has sent works of music to space. Earlier this past summer, the space agency transmitted ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ by hip-hop icon Missy Elliott to deep space (particularly to the planet Venus) via the agency’s Deep Space Network (DSN). Furthermore, at the beginning of this year, the Kennedy Space Center threw down an after-hours “Rechno party” titled “Kennedy Under The Stars”, on February 2nd and it included amazing live DJ sets, mini golf under neon lights, and interactive science experiments (and this event even came back on August 31st as well).

8Kays Delivers ‘Viking / Magma’ Two-Tracker On Interstellar Recordings

That’s yet another home run for Iryna!
Good news come from the Melodic Techno corner of the industry today, as Ukrainian producer 8Kays (real name Iryna Shvydka) has just landed a double signing with Insomniac’s stellar label, Interstellar Recordings. This is actually her debut on the imprint, for a crossing of paths that sees a very successful artist set foot on a very successful record label.
Known for her expertise in the genre, 8Kays is one of the veteran producers of Melodic Techno, having carved a name for herself for many years already, and with previous releases which include homes like Afterlife, the iconic and renowned Renaissance Records, Booka Shade’s Blaufiield Music imprint, Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats, and Eleatics Records.

8Kays’ latest offering is a two-track EP, which includes the singles ‘Viking‘ and ‘Magma‘. The former finds her enlisting the vocal prowess of Aussie-born, Germany-based singer/songwriter Kyle Pearce. It balances his poignant, breathy vocal delivery with a meticulously crafted groove with a galloping rhythm. At the same time, the B-side, ‘Magma’, takes its position as the perfect counterpart, a gripping instrumental propelled along by dark, driving drums, pulsating basslines, warbling detuned melodies that are met with by whirring pads, gurgling acid licks and molten call-and-response. 
8Kays says, “Viking is one of the tracks I like the most from my recent productions. I do find inherent to the sound I want to pursue: melodic, sensual and effective. And ‘Magma’ is all about power, which I wanted to demonstrate in the track. The volcano was my first idea when I heard the track with my eyes closed, it resonated at the sound/meaning level for me“.

Above & Beyond Unveil First ABGT600 ID, ‘React’

The new single is the kickoff to a new Tranquility Base EP, much like we had last year.
It’s no surprise that Above & Beyond‘s ABGT600 set was full of IDs, some we had been hearing for a while, and others which had their premiere at that very stage in Mexico City. The boys didn’t take too long to start releasing some of these goodies, luckily for us. And the first one to see the light of day is ‘React‘, out today.
Rinsed across the globe over the last months, ‘React’ is not only the first song of them to be released since ABGT600, but it’s also the first single of a new Tranquility Base EP, much like the one we got last year, and whose focal point was experimenting with sounds resemblant to their old, legendary alias, Tranquility Base.
‘React’
‘React’ is the first of five singles which will make up the Tranquility Base Vol. 2 EP, to come out on December 6th. Its predecessor, Vol. 1, peaked in the #1 slot on Beatport’s Techno releases chart, with singles ‘Angry JP8’ and ‘500’ hitting Beatport Trance #1. We can certainly expect some interesting things with this new offering.
Woven together by yesteryear synths processed in a modern style, the first seconds of the drop actually remind us of Andrew Bayer’s remix of Push’s classic ‘Strange World’, and then the song takes on a life of its own, tinting detuned supersaws over moogish basslines. The break sees listeners go through a substantial tempo change, for what feels like 108 BPM, to then go back to the energy of the first drop, while carrying the melody of the break.

YDG Drops Mind-Bending Single, "Lose Control"

Showcasing the best of both dubstep and drum & bass, YDG's "Lose Control" is here to remind us that true skill knows no bounds.
The track kicks off with intensity, steeped in flittering, digitized melodies as it builds before giving way to a tactful blend of melodic and heavy dubstep. From there, it only escalates.
The vocals and tempo pick up together, delightfully confusing listeners and preparing us for what's to come. Right as it all seems ready to give out to more ground-shaking bass, YDG pulls everything back and fakes us out with a filtered sequence of muffled elevator Muzak before unleashing a tidal wave of hyperactive drum & bass.
The electrifying "Lose Control" arrives ahead of the artist's performance at EDC Orlando, and there's no doubt the crowd will feel the track's high voltage.
Listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.
