Buoyed by an uplifting blend of indie-dance and pop, BLOND:ISH's new single offers a heartfelt message of unity and support.
In a world overshadowed by uncertainty, BLOND:ISH has delivered a carefree collaboration alongside Stevie Appleton titled "Never Walk Alone." Out now on Insomniac Records, the track opens with bright, twangy strings that evoke an immediate sense of lightheartedness and freedom. Meanwhile, Appleton’s vocals, layered with heartfelt lyrics about standing by one another through thick and thin, weave a narrative of companionship and resilience.
The song's build is characterized by a swelling chorus of uplifting synths before culminating in a minimalist drop where Appleton's clean falsettos take the spotlight. He brings a fitting sense of warmth and depth to "Never Walk Alone," making it a track that fans of BLOND:ISH are likely to find particularly comforting.
As she continues her mission to foster unity through her music and initiatives like Bye Bye Plastic, BLOND:ISH remains a fierce advocate for change within the music industry. Her upcoming performances, from Circoloco in Ibiza to III Points in Miami, promise to be infused with the same spirit of connection and community that "Never Walk Alone” embodies.

A.M.C drops explosive new single “Run!” ahead of his upcoming lbum Release
Hot off the back of his killer performance at this year’s Let It Roll, A.M.C, the maestro of four-deck performance announces his latest single, “Run!.” Released on Drum&BassArena, this high-energy track marks the first glimpse into A.M.C’s forthcoming album, “X12.”
“Run!” epitomises A.M.C’s unique style, seamlessly fusing the deep roots of UK jungle with futuristic sonic elements. A.M.C’s new LP is set to follow in the illustrious footsteps of his critically acclaimed albums “VOID” (2021) and “ENERGY” (2019). 
Having captivated audiences worldwide, A.M.C’s reputation as a leading force in the drum and bass scene is undisputed. His new audio-visual show ‘Adrenaline’ has set new standards, with sold-out performances at iconic venues across the globe further cementing his standing as a trailblazer in the genre.
Reflecting on his upcoming album, A.M.C shared:
“I’m excited to announce that “X12”, my new album, is coming soon. This project is a culmination of my journey as a DJ and producer, crafting tracks specifically for my sets. Over the past few years, I’ve created tons of ‘dubs’—over 30 in total. From this collection, I’ve carefully selected the twelve tracks that have resonated the most.
Each track on “X12” has been road-tested, fine-tuned, and honed based on live reactions and the incredible feedback from my fans. These are the tracks that have lit up dance floors, sparked joy, and brought energy to my sets. The album includes those standout moments that I’ve seen develop into fan favourites, which is why I’m so excited to release them to you.
The name “X12” started as a simple, throwaway title, but it has since grown to represent the essence of this project – it’s a symbol. Each track is a testament to the energy, passion, and connection I feel with you lot.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait for you to experience “X12” and feel the energy that has inspired every beat, bassline, and melody.
Peace – Alex.”
With “Run!” setting the stage, anticipation for “X12” is building. Head over to Titan-records.co.uk for exclusive merch and early access sign up, if you can guess the password!

You’re still in times to get the latest tickets as Barcelona’s Brunch Electronik Festival is going to sell out in a matter of hours. This is due to the fact that Barcelona’s Brunch Electronik Festival has just released the set times for the 2024 edition.
This second edition in Barcelona will take place on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of August.
Single-day tickets for Saturday, the 10th have completely sold out, while tickets for Friday and Sunday are close to doing the same.
The star-studded festival will take place on Friday and Saturday across five stages. Be ready to party at the Spanish second city’s stunning waterfront venue complex, Parc Del Fòrum, followed by afterparties at Nitsa Club and Apolo.
Sunday 11th, headlined by huge special guest Black Coffee alongside Ahmed Spins, Airrica, Moblack, and Pablo Fierro, takes place at the beautiful Jardins Joan Brossa, located just a short walk down the beach from Parc Del Fòrum.
But, let’s have a look at all the stages of this year’s Barcelona’s Brunch Electronik Festival
Harmonik – the stage with melodic sounds
The Harmonik stage is all about those low-slung emotive melodic techno beats. On Friday, Dixon will go to B2B with Argentinian producer/DJ Hernan Cattaneo, followed by sets by Miss Monique, Adam Ten, Olympe b2b Pole Position, and Marian Ariss.
Moving into Saturday, UK hit-makers Camelphat headline Harmonik. Melodic techno duo Mathame, the legendary Sasha and John Digweed, Shall Ocin, and more will follow them.
Iconik by Yamaha Electric – 100% TECHNO
Iconik is where to go for all things techno – hard, fast, and uncompromising. Len Faki is set to round things off here on Friday, following DJ sets by Modeselektor, Helena Hauff, Deborah de Luca, BIIA, and Brenda Serna.

Rythmik hosted by RA – For the music selectors
The Rythmik stage, curated by Resident Advisor, features a diverse lineup of well-known names. On Friday, John Talabot, Palms Trax, Gabrielle Kwarteng, and Nightmares On Wax will no doubt provide a lovely soundtrack for the sunset.
Jayda G headlines Rythmik on Saturday, following a set from the man of the moment, Salute. Dee Diggs, Kampire, Beniso, and Mona Lee will also play.
Euphorik by Estrella Damm – The stage of bands and live shows
Over on the Euphorik stage, you can expect to find more live acts and bands.

French duo The Blaze will round off Saturday at the Euphorik stage, playing after Soulwax and Polo & Pan and a live set by WhoMadeWho.
Groovik -The sounds that move the masses
House names Denniz Cruz and Pawsa come together for a DJ set under their much-loved shared ‘GOLFOS’ alias on the Groovik stage on Friday.
This is before Turkish-Italian DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Carlita is set to take to the decks for a headline slot. If that’s not enough, Hot Creations boss Jamie Jones also plays earlier in the night with a two-hour set from 8 pm to 10 pm.
Groovik also sees a stellar run of dance music talent old and new on Saturday, with the likes of Fatboy Slim, Vintage Culture and Dom Dolla gracing the stage. Hayden James, Kesia, and HANIE will also play.
Tackling the environmental impact of the festival
This year, Brunch Electronik Festival partners with Repsol as its energy partner in this edition to reduce its CO2 emissions. The company will prevent the emission of more than 9 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. This will be achieved thanks to the supply of over 3,000 liters of 100% renewable fuel, which will power the generators that supply energy to the festival’s stages.
You can buy single-day, weekend, and after-party tickets for Brunch Electronik.
Brunch Electronik will debut in Los Angeles as well.

MaRLo takes his sound in a bold new direction with the unveiling of his alter ego: V3NOM.
Debuting on Timmy Trumpet’s SINPHONY label, “Open Your Eyes” marks the beginning of an exhilarating new chapter for the Dutch-born, Australian-raised artist.
While MaRLo has long been celebrated for his signature high-energy performances and chart-topping hits, V3NOM represents a darker, more intense evolution of his sonic identity. V3NOM is the culmination of his journey from his original sound through his TECH ENERGY phase, now emerging as a harder, more aggressive sonic project. This new alias dives headfirst into harder dance music styles, delivering bone-crushing kicks and epic, anthemic melodies that still carry MaRLo’s unmistakable touch.

“Open Your Eyes” showcases this darker shift, seamlessly blending elements of psy-trance, hardstyle, and big-room into a festival-ready powerhouse. With its intense atmosphere, rave-fueled synths, and earth-shaking drops, the track exudes raw, unbridled energy designed to ignite dancefloors and mainstages alike.

We have left the two masterminds on the Library stage at Tomorrowland 2024 but, Lucas & Steve are back on the festival’s label with Are You Ready.
Yes, you should be ready because the tune is a festival anthem. We heard it live at Tomorrowland while the duo was playing and we can guarantee you it made people move.
Dropped in the middle of the set, Are You Ready shake things up on the dancefloor. Was it the vocal by English Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Laura White? Was it because of the infected beats and floor filler harmonies? One thing is sure, the tune delivered what it promised.
Lucas & Steve Are You Ready is a catchy and uplifting house anthem. It combines prominent and powerful voices with masterful and uplifting melodies. It’s a quick-moving floor filler that gets right to work.
The tune is out now on Tomorrowland Music, the festival’s flagship imprint.
The duo played Tomorrowland Belgium this year at the Library stage. We were there and the set was stunning with the two playing old classics and brand new music including an ID around minutes 40, put together with The Sound Of Violence (Acappella).
Lucas & Steve (check their 2020 album) Are You Ready is out now on Tomorrowland Music.

“Eric Prydz doesn’t need Tomorrowland, Tomorrowland needs Eric Prydz”. That’s the top comment on the latest upload on Eric Prydz’s YouTube channel. Today, the Swedish Legend behind some of the biggest and most memorable tracks and visuals in EDM history uploaded the latest set from his very own CELL show recorded at Hï Ibiza. A memorable two-hour set that proves that this man ages like fine wine.
CELL
This very particular, cyberpunk-inspired flyer is, indeed, quite an accurate visual representation. Prydz’s session and concept perfectly match the encased vibe of the world’s #1 club. Last year, Hï and Eric Prydz teamed up for a reworked HOLO show. After a successful season, the gift that keeps on giving returned to the island to introduce a new concept.
Hï Ibiza’s website describes the show as a creation brought to life with the club in mind as the perfect stage.

As MagicX launches Hero on the App Store, anticipation is building for a product that promises to pioneer a new category of mobile application.
Backed by The Chainsmokers, the Hero app leverages AI to create a seamless, intuitive user experience designed to revolutionize how we manage our daily lives. The heart of Hero's innovation lies in its unique approach to design and AI integration. Unlike traditional apps, it aims to be the first true super-app, unlocking new possibilities with a sophisticated yet user-friendly interface. 
Alex Pall and Drew Taggart of The Chainsmokers have been bringing their innovative spirit to the tech world through their Mantis VC fund. Their creative input and investment in Hero significantly shaped the app's development.
"They joke that people who meet them outside of music say they are 'pleasantly surprised.' That's an understatement," Hero CEO Brad Kowalk tells EDM.com. "Their creativity extends to any field. For instance, Alex may have a concert coming up but will still squeeze in a message about Siri and his thoughts on where the broader assistant space is headed."
Hero
Kowalk and CTO Seung Lee's leadership has led to the development of Hero's central features, which include voice-activated event creation, collaborative to-do lists and AI-driven grocery list generation. These capabilities, designed to streamline daily life, make it easier to manage routine tasks with just a few voice commands.
Kowalk explains there's multiple areas in the app where you'll interact with AI. "The big one is the voice interface, which uses AI to detect what you're saying, understand what you're trying to do, then update the UI in real-time as you're speaking," he said.
MagicX envisions Hero evolving to meet the changing needs of users, particularly those in creative fields. The app is designed to reduce the time and effort spent on managing daily tasks, allowing users to focus more on their passions.
"Our mission is for you to do more by doing less," Kowalk adds. "If we do our job right, you won't even have to think about 'productivity' in the future. People, especially creative people, should be able to free up their minds and schedules to do more of what they love."
Akhil Patel, Hero's designer, emphasized the app's foundational principles that set it apart from existing productivity tools. The dashboard, he explains, is designed to keep AI invisible and strive for simplicity.
"Most productivity tools start with one or two niche functions but get clunky over time," Patel says. "With Hero, our goal is to continuously simplify and optimize as we add new features so the overall complexity doesn’t increase over time."

Pool Party Gear: Stylish yet comfortable swimwear is essential for a pool party festival. Pair it with a chic cover-up for easy transitions between poolside lounging and dancing. Sunglasses are a must for eye protection and style.
Essential Accessories: Don’t forget earplugs to protect your hearing during high-decibel performances. A fanny pack or clear waterproof phone/wallet holder will keep your valuables safe and dry. Bring a portable fan or hand fan for relief from the heat. If you have an electric cooler, it’s a game-changer since ice machines often break down.

Extras to Elevate Your Experience

Here comes a Psytrance belter, courtesy of four esteemed brains of the industry.
Kick off your week in the best way possible with this one. The acclaimed Israeli Psytrance duo Gproject have a new track out, this time in the form of a thrilling collaboration with Off Limits. Their conjoint project is titled ‘Just Dance‘, and it intends to make you do just that — and it will, for all we know.
Gproject, comprising Liron and Roy Gindi, are a reknown force within the Psy scene. Their signature sound, characterised by driving rhythms and soaring melodies, has got to the ears of the entire world. This can be exemplified across the millions of streams amassed by the duo, and the support earned from the biggest names in the scene. Their previous tracks, including ‘The Hook‘ with Reality Test, ‘We Are One‘ with the legendary MR.BLACK — which Reality Test remixed —, and ‘Euphoria‘ with Alchimyst, have cemented their status as a leading act.
Off Limits, another esteemed Israeli duo, have also made a significant impact over the past decade over on the Trance side of things, with their productions garnering support from the elite. Their electrifying live performances have further enhanced their reputation. This time, they bring their own unique flair to the collaboration, to add an layer of depth and intensity to it.
Gproject say, regarding the onboarding of Off Limits to their single ‘Just Dance’, “Our good friends and partners in this track, who come from the Trance scene, brought in elements of earth, sea, sky, and stars. Together with them, we took the track to the realms of Trance and lifted it beyond the clouds“.
‘Just Dance’
‘Just Dance’, Gproject and Off Limits’ single, is an excellent piece that highlights the best of both worlds, Trance and Psytrance. The track contains a Psy foundation, as it should, carrying the potential to ignite dancefloors worldwide. But it also has a beautiful element of fly-away Trance, with arpeggios, melodies, moving chord progressions, and even gated vocal beds, ensuring you will not only dance to this one but also feel it deep inside.
The artists refer to the song as a carrier of a greater, deeper meaning that what meets the eye — the ear —: “‘Just Dance’ was created under our dream to keep dancing, even during the tough moments that life throws our way. We all feel the need to step outside and dance, dance endlessly! To dance with closed eyes and soar high in the air, as high as possible“.
