Earlier this past summer, ‘Move’ was an addictive anthem of that season and played on various radio stations worldwide. The track, released via prominent German techno and house collective label Keinemusik, had talented house music artists Adam Port, Stryv, and Orso as its producers, as well as the inclusion of singer Malachiii who provided soulful vocals to amplify the atmosphere. Earlier this weekend, Keinemusik released the remix of ‘Move’ and it features the always soothing vocals of Camila Cabello, and also the supporting vocals of reggaetón star Rauw Alejandro as well.
The remix has very upbeat Afro-house rhythms that blend beautifully with deep-house and melodic techno sounds. Click ‘Play’ on the Spotify link below to stream Keinemusik remix of ‘Move’ featuring Camila Cabello, which definitely can bring out the feel-good vibes that will start off the week very perfectly.

The Chainsmokers have finally dropped their highly anticipated remix of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” a track that has been teased during their live performances for months. This remix marks a nostalgic return to the duo’s remix roots and the indie sound that initially propelled them to fame. Back to a time when Hype Machine and Soundcloud ruled.
The Chainsmokers bring their dance-forward style to Boone’s poignant ballad, taking the emotional original, oiling it up, and giving it their signature electronic, consensual touch. As they embrace a throwback sound, format and platform — Soundcloud — one can’t help but recall the era when unofficial remixes ruled Hype Machine and The Chainsmokers were staples on the charts for their infectious takes on indie hits. Their return to form on Benson Boone’s hit is a very 2015-era move. They kept the heartfelt lyrics about love and vulnerability but added a club-friendly foundation that communicates the same message but lightens the emotional weight of Benson Boone’s melancholic crooning.
Drew even tosses in a new verse of his own.

Da Vinci Genius by Sasha On 29th November, dance music legend Sasha returns to Night Time Stories with his latest project – the score to ‘Da Vinci Genius’ – an immersive exhibition celebrating the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, the great Italian Renaissance polymath.
His 2016 release ‘Scene Delete’ on the same label, was Sasha as you’ve never heard him before; an imaginary movie score, and an adventurous left-turn for the veteran DJ/producer, who rarely rests on his laurels.
Fast forward to 2024, and we have Sasha delving into classical music, combined with the deep sonics for which he’s renowned. He used his experience as an electronic music producer – and movie buff – to re-frame his work, enlisting ‘Scene Delete’ veterans Dennis White, Dave Gardner and Barry Jamieson to assist in this complex task.
“I’ve never written music for a project like this before, so it was really exciting and interesting to work with the show’s designers Flora and Fauna Visions (FFV) on this incredible brief. 
The show is a past-present-future peek into Da Vinci’s mind, presenting a lot of his iconic work, using computers to play around with it, and creating a stunning visual experience. We needed the music to support and enhance that.
We wanted to capture some of the atmosphere of those incredible film scores we love, and the modern electronic composers we were inspired by. People like Nils Frahm, Jon Hopkins, Steve Reich, even Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre. We were inspired by Kubrick’s approach to using classical music in his films, but also the modern film composers like Hans Zimmer, who use classical movements with amazing electronic sounds around them.
We also managed to find some beautiful medieval choral music of LDV’s era from a Renaissance composer Josquin des Pres, which inspired some of the more ambient sections. When we started the score we hadn’t seen any of the visual, so had to be guided by FFV’s mood boards. It was a different, challenging way of working.” Sasha
A dream-like journey from start to finish, the nuances, atmosphere and melodic layers of compositions such as ‘Mosiac’, ‘Equality’ and ‘Clouds’ are woven into soft melodies and emotive timbres, and are perfectly presented. It’s only with compositions such as the beatific ‘Super Hero (with Sentre)’ and ‘Into The Metaverse’ where Sasha reverts to more familiar sounds.
With ‘Da Vinci Genius’, it feels like Sasha is very much at home in unfamiliar territory – revelling in the simply beautiful and undeniably moving music he has created. He recounts, “I really wanted to take something classical but flip it on its head, make it modern. Although the show focuses on Leonardo’s original art, in most points of the show it’s getting messed with electronically. For instance, the Mona Lisa appears out of thousands of digital fragments, and some of his other famous portraits melt into electronic visual glitches. I wanted to frame the show with a classical mood, but then allow electronics to pulse behind it. It was a wonderful collaboration with FFV and I’ve loved doing this.”
‘Da Vinci Genius’ debuted in Berlin in 2021 and then transferred a year later to Amsterdam. The show is set to wow audiences in Florida, USA and India at the end of this year. More details TBA.

Swedish electronic music producer SAMAKO has taken the cryptic rhythms of military Morse code and woven them into synthwave. 
Music may be a universal language, but for SAMAKO, it's also a medium for decoding hidden messages. With his new track, "Code (2024 Remastered Version)," the Stockholm-based artist has ingeniously transformed Morse code into a pulsing club track, blending the secrecy of shortwave radio with the raw energy of the dancefloor.
SAMAKO says he was able to use WebSDR technology to capture abstruse radio signals transmitted in Morse code by French military "installations," including buzzers and encrypted messages. These signals, which he converted to MIDI using Ableton, became the building blocks of the song.
"The shortwave signals from the French installation that were sent in Morse code had a steady beat," he explains. "Since they were pretty clean signals, they translated perfectly into MIDI."
From there, SAMAKO sculpted the sound, shaping his production to mirror and maintain the eerie resonance of the original signals. The result is an arrangement of driving arpeggios and dark synths that blend with precision.
You can listen to "Code (2024 Remastered Version)" below.

In the lead-up to Ganja White Night's "Wobbleween" event, the dubstep duo is offering fans a unique opportunity to escape into their music by virtue of a no-phone, no-lights DJ set in Minneapolis. 
The set, the first of its kind from Ganja White Night in five years, promises an experience where the focus is purely on the sound and the atmosphere, stripped of digital distractions.
"We haven't done a no phones no lights dark room DJ set since 2019 and this felt like the right time to bring it back, before Wobbleween in a city that has supported us from the beginning," the duo said on X, reflecting on their decision to revive the concept.
The growing popularity of no-phone events within the electronic music scene has sparked a wave of spirited discourse from artists, fans and organizers alike. DJ icons like Bob Sinclar, who recently opened up about the isolating effect of excessive smartphone use at live shows, have lamented the devices' tendency to detract from the connection between the performer and the crowd. 
Ganja White Night's upcoming show aims to foster a collective energy where the music is the sole focus. The 360° setup adds a dynamic element and ensures the sound hits from every angle, while the absence of phones and lights encourages fans to be fully present in the moment. Miami's iconic Club Space implemented a similar no-phone policy for a 24-hour party earlier this year, and artists like Damian Lazarus and James Hype have championed the growing movement toward digital detox in clubs.
Ganja White Night's show is scheduled for October 24th at Minneapolis' Granada Theater. You can purchase tickets here.

A group of scientists is exploring an innovative solution that uses personalized music and wearable tech to disrupt stress before it leads to relapse in people with alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Researchers from Washington State University, Arizona State University and the University of Southern California are testing "a new intervention" as part of a study involving music therapy to help manage stress, a primary trigger for relapse, according to WSU Insider.
Funded by the National Institutes of Health's Sound Health initiative, the study is leveraging wristbands with the ability to detect physiological signs of stress, such as heart rate and sweat production, to automatically play personalized music playlists designed to reduce tension. The research builds on prior findings that suggest these wearable devices can accurately predict stressful triggers.
"We want to take the next step and use those physiological signals to intervene and hopefully keep someone from seeking out alcohol to cope with stress," said Michael Cleveland, Professor at WSU's Department of Human Development.
In the first phase, volunteers will wear the wristbands for two weeks and manually log moments of stress, which will help confirm the device's accuracy. The second phase introduces the musical element by requiring each participant to curate a playlist that best resonates with them emotionally. When the wristbands detect rising stress levels, these playlists will be triggered to help ease the tension and stave off cravings.
Cleveland emphasizes that this intervention is not meant to replace traditional therapies, but rather complement them to provide an accessible, low-cost tool to manage stress. If successful, the research could unlock a powerful new way for individuals to manage AUD, bringing relief through the universal language of music.
"Music has been shown to have a helpful effect on reducing stress," Cleveland said. "Research shows that stress relief is increased when people choose the music themselves. You might think that instrumental or classical music works best, but people generally know what will work for them."
NIH is reportedly providing $1 million to cover the study's first phase for a period of two years. Pending positive results, a subsequent phase will trigger another three years and a $1.6 million funding round.

The countdown to A State of Trance (ASOT) 2025 has officially begun, and the excitement is building as we approach this Thursday’s highly anticipated announcement of the phase one artists. Armin van Buuren’s legendary festival is making its grand return to Ahoy Rotterdam on February 21st and 22nd, 2025, now with an expanded two-day format that promises to take the experience to new heights. A powerhouse partnership with Insomniac Europe sets the stage for an epic weekend, filled with some of the biggest names in trance music and cutting-edge production.
For those eager to lock in their spot, pre-registration for tickets is already open. Tickets are expected to sell out fast, so early registration is a must. The festival’s growth, both in size and reputation, guarantees ASOT 2025 will be one for the books.
What’s in store for the lineup? While the full roster remains a mystery, fans already have plenty to get excited about. Armin van Buuren will headline with a special 5-hour back-to-back set on Friday, February 21st, joined by surprise guests who have yet to be revealed. This extended performance is bound to be a highlight, fueling speculation about who will join Armin on stage for what promises to be an unforgettable night. Saturday, February 22nd, will feature over 25 DJs across five stages, showcasing both legendary trance artists and fresh talent from around the world.
ASOT: An Annual Trance Mecca
Since its humble beginnings as a weekly radio show in 2001, ASOT has grown into a global phenomenon, uniting millions of fans and offering a platform for both rising stars and established artists. With Insomniac’s experience in creating world-class festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) and Beyond Wonderland, you can expect an immersive atmosphere unlike any other.
Last year’s A State of Trance festival boasted a diverse lineup of both legendary and rising trance artists. Armin took the stage alongside frequent collaborator Ferry Corsten and the Egyptian duo Aly & Fila, celebrated for their uplifting trance style. Cosmic Gate wowed the crowd with their dynamic performances, while Gareth Emery captivated with his engaging live show and chart-topping tracks. Paul van Dyk, a trance icon, returned for another standout set, and Markus Schulz, known for his progressive trance sound, delivered a performance that resonated deeply with the audience. In addition to these headliners, ASOT 2024 also featured a host of rising stars and established names across its multiple stages, showcasing the best of the trance music scene. The event’s collaborative anthem ‘Destination’, created by Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Ruben de Ronde, and Rank 1, was a highlight and received widespread praise from fans.
As we count down to Thursday’s artist announcement, remember to keep an eye out for more surprises, including the official ASOT 2025 anthem — a collaboration between Armin and Ben Hemsley. Will Ben make an appearance during the festival? Only time will tell, but his involvement with the anthem hints at something special.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the scene, ASOT 2025 promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music and community. Be sure to secure your tickets early and get ready for the phase one artist announcement this Thursday!

On October 16, 2015, DJ Snake quietly disrupted the dance music universe with ‘Middle‘. But here’s the thing—this wasn’t just another EDM banger. This was a sonic curveball, sliding into our playlists when we least expected it, flipping the script on what an electronic hit could sound like. The mood? Laid-back. The energy? Understated. The impact? Unstoppable.
Where most tracks in 2015’s electronic scene were about building tension and delivering explosive drops, ‘Middle’ found power in restraint. It didn’t need to knock you over. Instead, it pulled you in with something subtler—like the lyrical tug of “Staring at two different views on your window ledge.” It’s not a track that begs for attention; it’s a track that lives in your head rent-free, weeks after you hear it.
And maybe that’s what made ‘Middle‘ so special. It didn’t just speak to the partygoers in the crowd—it spoke to the dreamers, the thinkers, the ones caught in between. That hook, “I hope we find our missing pieces and just chill,” wasn’t just a lyric; it was a vibe. It wasn’t about losing yourself in a beat, it was about finding yourself in the spaces between the beats. DJ Snake created a track that felt like the quiet between breaths, like the calm when you finally stop running.
Sure, it had the sleek production that we’d come to expect from him, but there was something else: emotion. ‘Middle’ gave electronic music a beating heart. This was a song for the 2 a.m. thoughts, for the late-night drives, for those moments when life feels a little too loud and you just need a quiet anthem to get you through.
Nine years later, ‘Middle‘ is still a vibe, still fresh, still capturing that magic sweet spot between melancholy and hope. It’s not a song for the crowd—it’s a song for you, for the moment when you need a little reminder that even when you’re stuck in life’s middle, there’s beauty in the waiting.
And here’s the twist: ‘Middle‘ was never really about the middle at all. It was about motion. It was about the quiet revolutions happening in our lives, the kind we often miss because we’re waiting for something louder. But DJ Snake got it—and that’s why ‘Middle‘ still hits. Hard.
So, throw on your headphones, crank up the volume, and let ‘Middle’ take you back to that space. Nine years might have passed, but the song still knows how to meet you right where you are. Need a reminder that you’re not stuck—you’re just pausing before the next move? Let ‘Middle‘ remind you that there’s nothing wrong with being in the middle.
Cue the song, chill, and find your missing pieces.

Yulo X‘s newest track, “Echoes of Alojera,” fills my darkly lit Berlin apartment as I sit there. Friday night, and the driving house grooves coming from my speakers exactly match the city’s intensity seeping through my windows. I can’t help but get excited about what is ahead.
For years Felix Neumann, the genius behind Yulo X, has been causing waves in Berlin’s electronic music scene. From the early days of “A Hundred Times Beloved” until his house music triumph as Fex Fellini, I have tracked his path.
Now, with “Echoes of Alojera,” he’s extending an invitation to us into a fresh phase of his musical journey.
The song provides a tantalizing taste of his forthcoming album, “Euphoria Ends.” Closing my eyes and letting the music envelop me, I’m struck by how deftly Neumann combines expressive piano lines with mesmerizing vocals. Like meeting an old acquaintance who has evolved in intriguing ways, this sound is both familiar and novel.
Here Neumann’s skill to combine several electronic subgenres is really evident. I detect echoes of Max Cooper’s rich soundscapes, the vivid intensity evocative of Caribou, and grooves that would readily be confused with Floating Points. Still, Yulo X’s distinct voice emerges through all: honest, understated, and painfully passionate.
Having been a long-time fan, it makes me happy to see how Neumann’s unique vocals—with their new wave and dream pop inspirations—have developed. His sound exudes confidence and maturity that reflects years of perfecting his trade in Berlin and London’s clubs.
“Echoes of Alojera” is a promise of what is ahead, not only a single. Listening to the tune on repeat makes me excitedly want the whole album. If this song is any guide, “Euphoria Ends” is destined to be a turning point in Yulo X’s career – a trip across an imaginative musical terrain only Neumann could create.
Berlin’s electronic music scene exudes great energy. I am appreciative to be seeing the emergence of an artist that is not hesitant to challenge limits and expose his soul via his music as I get ready to venture out into the night and lose myself on the dancing.
Available now is Yulo X’s “Echoes of Alojera; if you are anything like me, you will find it on repeat till “Euphoria Ends” arrives on October 11th. Trust me; you will not want to miss this musical trip.

Electronic music icon Paul Kalkbrenner announces the release of “KABELMANN,” a multi-part short film project accompanying the artist’s upcoming two-track Kabelmann EP. The films, created by Mother Berlin and SMUGGLER, and directed by Björn RĂŒhmann, premiered at the renowned Ciclope Festival in Berlin earlier this week and were released alongside the EP today.

A Tale of Connection in Two Parts
“KABELMANN” unfolds in two short film chapters, each scored by Kalkbrenner’s tracks. The films follows the journey of Kabelmann (literally meaning cableman), an otherworldly character and outlier perpetually tethered to endless cables—an homage to Kalkbrenner’s analogue production methods and live-only approach to performance.

Part one is the emotional story arc of an outsider. Kabelmann searches for human connection, hindered by a mysterious energy flowing through his cables. Small flashes of Kalkbrenner hint at the source behind Kabelmann’s energy as the song’s rhythms push the story forward. 
Part two catapults viewers into a dreamlike afterlife juxtaposed with a violent and climactic showdown, which, accompanied by Paul’s melodic and optimistic track Kabelmann 2, leaves Kabelmann’s ultimate fate ambiguous.
 
Internationally acclaimed and award-winning director Björn RĂŒhmann helmed the project, which was shot on location in Manchester and Berlin. The production embraced an analog aesthetic, capturing all footage on Kodak 16mm film. It is the second collaboration between Paul and Mother, who also produced the short film that accompanied his track “Schwer” last year. 
Björn RĂŒhmann, the film’s director, explains: “The process of finding our Kabelmann’s destiny took forever – in a great way. We loved exploring all the ways for this character to become the perfect blend of an alter ego of the artist (Paul) – and a unique, otherworldly hero that captivates the audience. To create the most cinematic vision, we worked with fantastic people such as Kevin Howarth (Actor, Kabelmann) and Krzysztof Trojnar (DP, known for his work on Baby Reindeer), just to name a few.”
Paul Kalkbrenner, who appears throughout the film as an enigmatic energy source, stated: “I have always loved exploring how my music can work in visual mediums, whether that’s in the live setting or in cinematic projects like this. The concept of the Kabelmann made total sense to me, as I have often felt my analog approach to music and performance has made me a bit of an outlier in contemporary electronic music.”
