The U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has officially provided his backing for Parliament plans to make spiking a criminal offense nationwide. The PM’s backing comes after the Labour Government made spiking a criminal offense as a form of assault under the “Offences Against the Person Act” on July 17th. The criminal offense, which Parliament included it in the 35 proposed bills, also got its introduction during the King’s Speech that occurred on that same date as well.
Other nightlife leaders and industry executives have shown support and praise for the planned passing of the criminal offense, especially since there will be staff training on how to prevent spiking from happening at the venues. That training may roll out starting in spring 2025. An official press release from the UK GOV earlier today affirmed the pledge from PM Keir Starmer, alongside a joint coalition of industry executives, police chiefs, and transport heads, to keep women and girls safe at night by strongly cracking down on spiking. The Prime Minister would later confirmed those initial plans in a meeting with the aforementioned executives, chiefs, and heads on the same day.

According to an article from Mixmag, the crackdown on spiking will involve widespread training across the nightlife industry. This nationwide training process will utilize the extensive and valuable training of skills to thousands of staffers in noticing the offense right away and preventing it quickly before the victim falls for the crime. A pilot program will commence the plans starting from December.
Afterwards, the training will start its rollout process towards up to 10,000 nightlife workers in spring next year. This is a great step in ensuring a fun and safe nightlife environment and with spiking being made into a criminal offense, it may influence various governments worldwide to enact similar policies relating to that as well. The state of California has even mandated bars and nightclubs to provide drug testing devices for patrons starting this past July. Last but not least, this will show offenders that spiking is a very serious crime and they will face very severe consequences if they receive charges for it. Here is a post on X (formerly Twitter) from Prime Minister Keir Starker that emphasizes the government’s commitment to cracking down on spiking.

In just a few short years, Oliver Heldens successfully parlayed his career in mainstream dance music into a much-lauded alter-ego in the techno world as HI-LO, gaining widespread acceptance from the underground scene in the process. Making the most of an era when genre boundaries are less important or distinct than ever and younger generations cast aside the snobbery of old, the name HI-LO is now synonymous with cutting-edge, quality, hard-hitting, innovative techno. By 2020, his tracks ‘Zeus’ and ‘Kronos’ landed in the Top 10 most-played techno tracks of the year on 1001tracklists.com, making him the #1 most-supported producer platform-wide that year across all genres.

About Chocolate Puma
Chocolate Puma is a Dutch DJ/producer duo consisting of René ter Horst and Gaston Steenkist, aka Dj Zki & Dobre. The guys started producing music in 1991, delivering club hits under several artist names. Drawn together by a shared appreciation of the house music movement of the early 90s, their career got off to a turbo-charged start with the release of what would become one of the defining records of their career. Recording under their alias of The Good Men, the duo released ‘Give It Up’ on their own Fresh Fruit label in 1992. The record surpassed all expectations, reaching #1 on the US Dance Chart and #5 on the UK Singles Chart, propelling them to unexpected global stardom.
In 2001, the duo came up with their last alias, Chocolate Puma. And like The Good Men, Chocolate Puma got off to a dream start with the release of ‘I Wanna Be U’; another record that became a worldwide hit and reached #6 in the UK Singles chart, prompting an appearance from the duo on Tops of the Pops. Then, after ‘Always And Forever’ again entered the UK singles chart in 2005, they decided to drop all those other aliases and continue as Chocolate Puma.
Over the decades, they have released music like ‘Scrub The Ground’, ‘Lullaby’, and ‘You Are My Life’ on different labels like Axtone, Defected, Positiva, FFRR, Strictly Rhythm, Spinnin’, Musical Freedom, Mixmash, and Heldeep, to name a few. Recently, their music has been rediscovered by artists like Adam Beyer, Tita Lau, Nicole Moudaber, and others. It’s no surprise they have regular appearances at major clubs and festivals worldwide, including Hï & Ushuaia Ibiza, Tomorrowland Belgium, Mysteryland The Netherlands, EDC & Omnia Las Vegas, Sensation Korea, Veld Festival Canada, Stereo Live USA.

We caught up with Luke during our 10th Birthday celebrations along with an exclusive live recording of his recent gig with the Warm Up underground raves in London.
Congratulations on joining us with Decoded Magazine’s 10th birthday. Could you share some of the most memorable moments from this incredible journey with us?
The journey with Decoded Magazine has been incredible, full of standout moments that have shaped my experience. Interviewing artists like Booka Shade and travelling to places like Amsterdam and Ibiza to cover top clubs and events have been real highlights. My former residency with Pioneer DJ Radio and Decoded, where I had the opportunity to host some of the biggest names in the industry each week on the radio was also an unforgettable chapter. I’ve enjoyed every moment and am grateful for all the experiences along the way.
Let’s talk about your former group, Suicide Sports Club, which was part of a new sound in the 90s, signed to Bedrock, playing major festivals, and travelling the world, what gave you and Bruce Aisher inspiration and creative process behind the formation of the Suicide Sports Club?
Wow, that brings back memories, a lot has changed since then and it’s not something I focus on nowadays, however, my days at Suicide Sports Club came from a need to push past the usual limits and create something raw yet emotionally charged. From a personal high of making the cover of DJ Mag (I can’t remember what year, way too many fun nights I can’t ever repeat), we pushed for a sound that felt intense, almost like a release, while blending darker tones and different genres. It’s music that speaks to both personal experiences and broader, shared emotions.
At first, we couldn’t even get into Bedrock, twice from memory (Heaven) once we got in though, we spent our nights listening to Digweed, Tilt, Tony de Vit and Slacker. We’d finish up and go home, thinking, how do we sound like them, how did they even make that sound, we were so inspired and threw ourselves into music. At the time, I was DJing at Sunflowers (The Garden Club) and had a chance meeting with Gertz the Engineer of Faithless, who asked us to come into the studio, I think we were paying something like £700 a week, back in the 90’s that was a lot of money (it probably still is) we were now sitting opposite Sister Bliss, Rollo, Maxi Jazz to Grace Jones and Gwen Stefani, we were so fresh, it was a baptism of fire to say the least.
I remember when were warming up for Radiohead, Block Party & Beck at V Festival, I had no idea what was going on, it was quite a hedonistic time, I can’t describe the feeling of sharing the stage and playing to massive crowds, I even lost my shoe, I had to borrow a flip flop from some random next to the stage, some emo kid (whatever happened to them?) It was a rock n roll time, brilliant memories. One of the highlights was the guitarist from The Cure, Porl Thompson heading up on our song “My Black Dog”. quite surreal to be honest, listening back recently, you can pick his influence of The Cure in the track.
All good parties come to an end though, people grow, people explore new sounds, we had a brilliant run, we are still all good friends and look back and laugh at some of the shit we got up to. We were so young, that we thought we knew it all. Still, honestly, I wish the industry was as mature as it is now and had close friends and support as I do now. Still, we were part of a new sound, Indie Electronic, sharing the billing of acts like Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, Chemical Brothers through to Underworld, always exploring new music, we didn’t know what we were a part of back then, but it was interesting to hear that sound come back again, now living in Hackney, I’m surrounded. Still, such great new acts, it’s everywhere!
Photograph © Matt Stephens // mattstephensphotography.co.uk Ok, you pursued a career as a stand-alone DJ for many years afterwards, we hear on good advice, that you actually ran away to LA at one point. Is it true you took a bag of records with you and by chance bumped into Jon Phillipe Abience (famed from Give Me Love) on Melrose Boulevard (LA) which ended up cementing your DJ career (and even honed the skills you have today) How was it leaving stage to the decks? No names, but that must have been an incredible time, what can you tell us about those days?
Hahah where does one start, back then, I was booked as “A British DJ” not even my name, I’m sure most of them hadn’t met a Brit back then. I didn’t even have my own headphones, I borrowed a pair from Jon and each week, dug through crates of records, playing at nights I can barely remember, from warehouses through to underground clubs, it was an incredible time.
After 3 and a half years, I had enough (or Immigration was on my case) but I decided to head back to the UK. With my family first in mind, it was the right time and was the first of me taking time away from the industry, something that consumed me since my teens, it was a transition that was difficult and what came next, years later, it took to me now.
A Hiatus from the scene, interspersed with releases with various artists, labels and gigs, we arrive at your recent live concept, Tokyo Fan Club, which gained quite a following after being signed to Bedrock Records. What was the initial idea behind this project, how difficult was it putting it together during Covid and how has it evolved over the years?
Tokyo Fan Club started as a concept, focused on capturing the essence of underground and leftfield music. Covid pushed us to rethink how we work and find new ways to create remotely. Over time, the project has evolved into something bigger than I expected, yet still firmly rooted in the underground, especially after signing with Bedrock Records. The pandemic gave us the chance to explore more experimental sounds and narratives, making the music deeper and more introspective. There’s a lot more in store for this project.
Working with your wife Kiki must bring a unique dynamic to your music. How does this partnership influence your creative process and the work you produce together?
Working with Kiki is truly special. There’s an intuitive understanding that comes from knowing someone so well, both personally and creatively. We balance each other out—where I might be more conceptual or abstract, she brings in a fresh perspective that grounds the music in something emotionally resonant. It’s like a dialogue through sound, and that dynamic adds layers to the work we produce together.
You’ve collaborated with various artists, including Gai Barone. What was it like working with Gai, and what have you taken away from that experience?
Working with Gai is truly inspiring. He brings such a deep emotional depth to everything he touches. The collaboration taught me a lot about patience and attention to detail. Gai is a master of layering, and seeing his process up close really expanded my own creative approach. I think what stood out the most was how he could create such complex sound structures while still maintaining a soulful, human element to the music.
Being a solo artist brings its own set of challenges and rewards. What does it mean to you to perform and produce music solo, compared to working within a group or duo?
Performing and producing solo is a different beast. It’s a more introspective process—you’re not bouncing ideas off anyone else, so it can feel more personal, but also more demanding. You have to push yourself harder because there’s no one else to rely on creatively. But at the same time, it offers a sense of freedom. You can follow your own vision without compromise, which can be incredibly rewarding. With a group or duo, it’s about finding that perfect balance between voices.
Looking back at your career, do you have a favourite track you ever produced, and what makes it stand out to you?
It’s tough to choose just one, but “Wake Up,” the track I did with Simon Berry from Platipus Records, stands out. Released on Yousef’s Circus Recordings, it represents a specific moment for me both personally and sonically. The process in the studio wasn’t easy, but the struggle made it all the more rewarding. The final result still resonates with me, and seeing how it connects with listeners makes it even more meaningful.
The music world is always evolving. How do you stay current with trends, and what are you most excited about for the future of electronic music?
Staying current is about always being open to new sounds and not getting stuck in one place. I make it a point to explore different genres, attend festivals, and see what’s happening on the ground. Collaborating with other artists who bring fresh ideas is key—it keeps things interesting and pushes me to step outside my own creative habits.
Who would you recommend we keep an eye on that is pushing the boundaries of music?
One name to watch right now is Tape Tomorrow. They’re pushing boundaries in a way that feels genuinely fresh, blending electronic and experimental sounds into something that’s both innovative and unexpected. I’ve had the chance to work closely with him recently, and his approach to music is truly next-level. He’s got a rare talent for weaving together complex textures while keeping things grounded and engaging. We’ve got some exciting plans to collaborate further when the timing lines up—definitely someone to keep on your radar.
As Decoded Magazine celebrates its 10th birthday, what advice would you give to emerging artists who aspire to have a long-lasting impact on the music scene?
Don’t be afraid to be yourself, and don’t chase trends. It’s important to understand where the scene is headed, but ultimately, your authenticity is what will make you stand out. Find your own voice, and keep pushing boundaries—not just in music, but in how you connect with your audience. Longevity comes from building something that resonates deeply with people, not just following what’s popular at the moment.

After the success of Carthago, Angeke and Space Fair Hanna Haïs presented Sitting Bull, on 22nd November 2024 on Beatport and Spotify. From 6th December, the track will be available on all major digital platforms.
Released under the Donkela label, this new single adds another chapter to her long-standing career in AfroTech and electronic music. Hanna Haïs has been a key figure in the house music scene, with a career spanning over 70 releases, including albums, singles, and remixes. Her first release, a remix by Larry Heard, paved the way for collaborations with top labels like Defected, MoBlack, and Distance. Nevertheless, it’s extraordinary to see that she has performed in several African countries throughout her career and how it became part of her musical journey.
Taking a closer look at Sitting Bull, it is composed, arranged, and produced by Hanna Haïs, was recorded in France and mixed and mastered in Greece by George Deligiannis. The track combines hip hop-inspired vocal samples with rhythmic AfroTech elements, including an arpeggiator layered over driving beats and a deep bassline.
The track’s creation started with the discovery of vocal samples with a distinct hip-hop vibe, described by Hanna Haïsas reminiscent of artists like Drake and Kanye West. These samples set the tone for the production, which came together quickly using Ableton Live and samples from Loopcloud. Hanna Haïs highlights the energy of the track’s post-break section as a standout moment.
Listen here: Spotify
“I found some vocal samples which were a bit different from what I usually use, these vocals had a hip-hop vibe, sort of Drake-like and started working”.
Since 2010, Hanna Haïs has blended Afro influences into her sound, beginning with the single Ka Donké. As a DJ and producer, she has performed at venues and festivals around the globe, with her music supported by industry heavyweights like Black Coffee, Caiirosa, Joseph Capriati, Loco Dice, Ghedion Behonegne, Jamiie, DJ Gregory, Louie Vega, Laurent Garnier and many others
Looking ahead, Hanna Hais will perform in Dubai in December 1st at the Arkadyan Voyage, and the artist has plenty lined up for 2025, including a collaboration with Dante.T and Mario Da Ragnio due in January, followed by a solo release in February. Additionally, she’s working on remixes, keeping her schedule packed with new music.
Sitting Bull is available for DJs on Beaport and ready to listen anywhere on Spotify since 22nd November. Stay connected with Hanna Haïs and Donkela for updates on this and future releases @hannahaisparis @donkelamusic

From the opening lines, “Just one day in life, so I can understand,” Amba Shepherd’s vocals draw you into a narrative of struggle and triumph. The lyric “Fighting just to survive, but you taught me I can” captures a deeply human emotion: the quiet strength we find when someone believes in us. In a world often overshadowed by challenges, Apollo serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are capable of finding light.
What sets Apollo apart is how Hardwell’s production complements, rather than overshadows, the message. The drop is powerful, but it doesn’t feel like a punctuation mark; it’s a continuation of the story. When the beat kicks in, it’s as if the music itself is lifting the listener out of the struggle described in the lyrics and into a place of hope. The repeating chorus, “We are the lucky ones,” transforms into a mantra, urging us to find gratitude even in the smallest moments.
Released on the heels of his breakout hit Spaceman, Apollo marked a new chapter for Hardwell. It showcased his ability to craft music that wasn’t just electrifying but also deeply meaningful. While Spaceman catapulted Hardwell to stardom, Apollo proved he was more than a producer of big-room anthems. It was his way of connecting with listeners on a personal level.
Twelve years later, the track’s legacy lives on. Whether you first heard it at a festival, on the radio, or through a friend’s playlist, Apollo likely left its mark. It reminds us of the golden era of progressive house while still feeling timeless. The energy it brought to stages around the world, from Tomorrowland to Ultra Music Festival, is matched only by the intimate moments it created for individual listeners.
As we celebrate 12 years of Apollo, it’s worth reflecting on what makes it so enduring. It’s more than just the melodies or the production; it’s the feeling it gives you. It’s the reminder that music has the power to lift us up, bring us together, and remind us that, even in tough times, we are the lucky ones.
Hardwell’s Apollo isn’t just 12 years old—it’s timeless.

Overdose of Bass
‘Overdose of Bass’: the title track has rattling snares and a breaksy beat. It ushers in a spoken vocal layering different levels of processing, for a half sensual, half robotic riff – ‘there it goes/ overdose/of bass’. It combines with the doppler siren builds, giving a spacey, mysterious call and response. Could be classified as hypnotic, disturbing and edgy.
Living In The Moment
‘Living In The Moment’: an urgent techno beat, a Moroder-esque bass synth, and a recurrent riff like a signal. It becomes ever more high and desperate. It is counterpointed by an ethereal, quavering, sweet female vocal, strengthened by the melodic build in the huge central breakdown. Urgent, demanding, hyper, this is dancefloor heaven.
Adam Beyer’s revered status as a producer, DJ and leading label head of Drumcode and Truesoul is unquestionable. His outstanding contribution to electronic music, via his own releases across his pioneering 30+ year career, and his seminal electronic imprints which have launched many upcoming talents as well as spotlighting global superstars has made him a household name. With his productions, the Swedish powerhouse still consistently pushes boundaries, especially in his recent EP ‘Don’t Go’, after solo EP ‘Ghost Kiss’ and his massive debut Vintage Culture collaboration. Experimenting with techno enhanced by melodic elements, vocal processing/vocoders and creative use of samples from world cultures, the dynamic producer keeps on evolving and surprising his legions of fans.
Master producer and veritable phenomenon Eli Brown is a sonic force in a category of his own. Boasting a career that spans over two decades since bursting onto the scene in 2016, the techno powerhouse’s brooding sound and visceral energy have catapulted him from the UK’s underground to global icon status at meteoritic pace. This collaborative track arrives hot on the heels of a massive year for the DJ/producer/record label head, following a steady stream of chart topping releases to etching his name in history as the first techno artist to perform at the iconic Rockefeller Center, and launching his streetwear label – 92 Thing.
Adam Beyer x Eli Brown ‘Overdose of Bass’ drops November 22nd on Drumcode. Save it here.
