Listen to Chris Lake and Disclosure's Down-and-Dirty House Track, "in2minds"

At this stage in their illustrious careers, it's clear that Chris Lake and Disclosure intend more on shredding the envelope of house music than pushing it.
That's more clear than ever after today's release of their new collaboration, "in2minds," out now via Astrawerks and Lake's Black Book Records. It's house music stripped to its naked core, then rebuilt with a dark, postmodern edge that cuts through the noise of its formulaic counterparts in the genre.
As the track unfolds, it reveals layers of gritty textures and brooding, hypnotic rhythms. Disclosure and Lake produce distorted subs and a thick, viscous bassline that oozes through the mix like tar, engulfing everything in its path.
"This was a fun and natural collaboration for me," Lake said in a press release. "We made 'in2minds' the first day we got in the studio together. Disclosure and I are both pretty technical and with this song it feels like we kind of flexed on each other a little bit. The result is the collaboration of two minds."
Fans of these influential house music producers can look forward to more collaborations in the future after they shared a preview of another new song earlier in the month of September. Disclosure's Guy Lawrence also said today's release is "just the first of a few bits we have cooking."

Brazil’s KLEAN leads off upcoming EP with lead single ‘Sem Parar’

Brazil’s rising star Klean, a 21-year-old producer with a stand out sound and knack for hooky beats is leading off the run up to a new 4-track EP with a bumping lead single. After catching Rihanna’s ear with his “Rude Boy” remix at the Super Bowl, he’s been busy in the studio, recently remixing DJ Snake and Peso Pluma’s “Taka” and now dropping his own single, “Sem Parar.”
The track and leads single from his upcoming 4-track EP literally means “Non-Stop” in Portuguese and blends baile funk’s infectious energy with polished EDM production. Teaming up with his mentors Tropkillaz and the dynamic MC Carol (a baile funk legend and feminist icon in her own right), Klean’s crafting a sound that aims to put Brazilian beats on the global map. It’s a bold move in a crowded field, but Klean’s got the chops to back it up.

8Kays Teams Up With Delhia De France On ‘Human Nature’

As good of a banging Melodic Techno as you’ll get.
We’ve got amazing news today coming from two incredible stars in the making. On one side, we’ve got 8Kays, a by-now near-legendary artist who’s carved a space for her unique sound between the Melodic Techno and Progressive fronts of the Dance industry. On the other side, Delhia De France, one of the recurring voices of the genre, having lent her lyrics and timbre to a variety of chart-topping acts.
The two have joined forces today to release a banging new single, ‘Human Nature‘, out now via DGTL Records.
Known for her artistic approach and creative vision, 8Kays seamlessly blends Techno with ethereal and melodic elements. With releases on labels like Afterlife, Bedrock Records, and Watergate, she’s built quite an impressive portfolio. During the last few years, she has toured globally, performing at prestigious festivals like Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Timewarp. She’s also a regular at club shows in Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza.
Delhia De France is yet another icon of the Melodic House & Techno scene, having worked on some of the most hyped releases of the last seasons. She has released on labels such as Afterlife, Diynamic, Siamese, RoseAvenue, This Never Happened, Anjunadeep, and more. Delhia’s own productions include two EPs which saw support from BBC/Pete Tong, Beatport, Spotify, XL8R, and remixes for Janus Rasmussen (Kiasmos) and Robot Koch, as well as writing feature songs for TV shows.
‘Human Nature’
8Kays and Delhia’s conjoint effort in ‘Human Nature‘ explores the most polished bit of their knowledge, providing a powerful tune that is not only a must-dance at clubs, but also carries a punch of deep lyricism blending with mysterious atmospheres and thematic textures and keys.
Delhia’s lyrics explore the complexities of human desires and how life’s experiences can change us. She beautifully describes the paradox of wanting something we can never have. “Yet, isn’t yearning, longing and dreaming not also something inherently human while somehow feeling supernatural in its pure force?“, the song wonders, via her voice.

Ecstasy Meets Agony in RayRay and Softest Hard's New Single, "Fall Apart"

Hearts race and splinter in "Fall Apart," the new collaboration from RayRay and Softest Hard, out now on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records.
True to form, the two artists have crafted a hyperactive house beat that refuses to relent. But this time around, its energy belies its emotional core, serving as a relentless metronome measuring out the moments of a love's decay.
RayRay and Softest Hard's vocals oscillate between ecstasy and agony through bittersweet lyrics that capture the electric, in-the-moment thrill of passion and the static aftermath of its dissolution. The saccharine highs of their upbeat production give way to the acrid taste of that loss, like a honey-drizzled dessert that—underneath its sweetness—hides a hidden depth of sadness.
RayRay says the track is meant to "show a different side" of both producers, who are known for pushing the tempo to the bleeding edge.
"I've known Softest Hard for quite a while, and we finally had the chance to collaborate on a track together," explains the Taiwanese dance music star. "While creating this song, I was inspired to combine uplifting melodies and rhythms to craft a song about heartbreak—something I feel I'm quite good at."

Las Vegas-Based Area15 Cancels Orlando Entertainment Complex

Las Vegas-based Area15, an entertainment complex, has decided not to build a second location in Orlando, Florida. The company has put the 16.5-acre property, located north of the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet, up for sale.
Area15, which opened in Las Vegas in 2022, planned to create a similar experience in Orlando. It would have featured attractions like an art museum, amusement park, and mall. However, the company has made an internal business decision to walk away from the project. The 16-foot-tall robot statue that marked the property, dubbed Mechan 11, has been removed. The property is now listed for sale by international brokerage CBRE, with an asking price yet to be determined.
Area 15 Orlando LLC originally bought the property in 2022 for $24.8 million. The Orange County Property Appraiser currently values the land at $23 million.
Despite the cancellation of the Orlando project, Area15 remains committed to its Las Vegas location, which has welcomed nearly 2 million visitors in its first year of operation. The Las Vegas venue features attractions such as Van Gogh The Immersive Experience, virtual reality experiences, golf simulators, zip lines, restaurants, distilleries, and events like concerts.
The decision to cancel the Orlando project comes as Universal’s Epic Universe is set to open next year, increasing demand for projects in the tourist corridor. CBRE Land Group, which was involved in Universal’s Epic Universe purchase, is handling the marketing of the Area15 property.
The cancellation of the Orlando Area15 project is a disappointment for many who were looking forward to the new entertainment complex. However, it’s important to note that the Las Vegas location remains a popular destination for visitors.

Louis The Child Heals Our Inner Child With New Album ‘The Sun Comes Up’

Today, Louis The Child released their sophomore album, The Sun Comes Up, via Interscope Records. The album’s 13 tracks explore a variety of tempos, rhythms, genres and moods, filtering it all through the unique choices and perspectives only Louis The Child can deliver. The acclaimed Chicago production duo – comprising Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett – has charted over 20 hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs tally and amassed nearly two billion combined career streams to date. They call The Sun Comes Up their most personal project to date, but they couldn’t have gotten here without going on a journey of discovery.
The Sun Comes Up
Dancing is at the heart of The Sun Comes Up, even as it brings plenty of vocal-heavy moments. Trap and hip- hop beats change suddenly into house rhythms, pushing candy-colored synth melodies into new dimensions mid-song. ‘Supercharger,’ which features 1996Montana on vocals exemplifies this beautifully.
The Sun Comes Up is a return to form that celebrates curiosity, childlike wonder and gut instinct. From the opening feel-good grooves of ‘Believe It’ (with Madeon) to the wall of sound on the closing track ‘I’m Not Giving Up’ (with MEMBA). The album plays like a field trip through a sunny sky. The accompanying artwork evokes this feeling, showcasing happy little cloud monsters frolicking in a pastel sunrise.


Up Next
So it’s only fitting that the duo would celebrate the album’s release with a series of outdoor daytime shows. Today, they’ll play Granary Live! In Salt Lake City with special guests Jai Wolf and Wavedash. Tomorrow, September 21, Louis The Child returns to Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO. They are bringing Jai Wolf, MEMBA and Daniel Allen along with them. (Jai Wolf will be doing a CLUB BABU DJ set at both shows.)

The Sun Comes Up is about letting your heart lead the way and finding joy in whatever form or medium it takes. Rather than ignore the sadder moments in life, it celebrates them, encouraging one to walk away with a lesson:

Naming ‘Believe It’ as one of the best new dance tracks, Billboard observed. “[it’s] all bounce, effervescence and (seemingly) marimba, with the vocals giving the song a pop lean and a singalong melody and all its parts building to a giddy jam”…”. That’s not only joyful, but – in the very quickly moving world of dance releases, memorable too.” CULTR noted, “The vibes are immaculate…”. EDM.com praised ‘Make You Mine’ with Whethan and Hayley May as “a love anthem that’s both introspective and irresistibly danceable.” ThisSongSlaps hailed ‘I’m Not Giving Up’ as “a whimsical future bass beauty that has an undeniable anthemic quality to it that has made it a true fan favorite…”
This album is a reflection of our healed, joyous inner child. Ethereal, euphoric, silly, and whimsical, it showcases Louis The Child at their prime. Enjoy.

Mat Zo Portrays An Intergalactic Journey With ‘ZOCASE’ EP

Anjunabeats is pleased to welcome back visionary artist Mat Zo for the release of a new EP that celebrates his unpredictable nature as a producer. ZOCASE EP comprises three brand new productions that explore all corners of dance music yet remain distinctly Mat Zo.


ZOCASE EP
The ZOCASE EP is an extraordinary release packed with exciting, cutting-edge sounds. In typical Mat Zo fashion, he plays by his own rules, and none of the three tracks is under eight minutes long. The opening track, ‘Relic Of The Future, ’ kicks off with a spaced-out groove before launching into a full-out Progressive House and Breakbeat explosion.
‘Bluish Yellow’ starts subtly with a bed of 303s before a brooding kick drops in. It’s a cut that has been played at a number of Mat Zo shows for the past two years, including iconic venues like The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State & Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.
‘This Too Shall Pass’ wastes no time to get started; it’s banging Techno from the get-go. A sublime stutter-effect synth line takes center stage, adding beauty contrasting with the brooding beats. In true Mat Zo fashion, this first ZOCASE EP is a truly genre-less display.
About Mat Zo
Mat Zo is one of Anjunabeats’ most celebrated artists, with tracks such as ‘Easy’ (with Porter Robinson), ‘Rebound’ (with ARTY), ‘The Sky’ and ‘Superman’ capturing the imagination of the masses. His GRAMMY-nominated debut album, Damage Control, released in 2013, gave Mat’s avant-garde approach to production its full expression. Featuring break-out hit ‘Easy’, the track took Mat mainstream: a BBC Radio 1 A-List addition, Sirius XM BPM listing, a #1 Billboard Heatseeking record, an Essential Mix of the year nomination, and, ultimately, a GRAMMY nomination for best dance and electronic recording. His latest studio album, Illusion of Depth, released on the label in October 2020. The album has garnered over 25 million streams. Moreover, it produced the singles ‘The Next Chapter,’ ‘Problems,’ and ‘Colours,’. The latter, of which played in the soundtrack for the 2021 racing video game Forza Horizon 5. 
Credit: Charlie Barclay Harris In 2023, Mat Zo toured in North America’s sold-out Anjunabeats After Dark club shows. He also launched his new ZOCASE project at Aures in London in front of 200 super-fans, where he displayed new live visuals & music. This concept toured across North America. And,it will be present at New York City’s famed Irving Plaza on Friday, December 6. 

Mat Zo recently performed at Belgium’s Rampage Festival (Drum & Bass) and released a new EP on VISION Recordings. The one, which featured in Spotify’s Bassline Bangers. He also recently released on deadmau5’s Mau5trap imprint the groove-laden ‘Disco Boy.’ The track had support from Martin Garrix and Fedde Le Grand so far.

Chris Lake & Disclosure Come Together For ‘in2minds’

Today, two of the hottest names in dance music have come together for a collaboration of epic proportions. GRAMMY®-nominated DJ/producers Chris Lake and Disclosure have finally shared their massively awaited collaboration ‘in2minds,‘ out now via Black Book Records/Astralwerks.
Co-produced by Lake and Disclosure, ‘in2minds’ is a hypnotic banger that pushes their artistry to bold new heights. In a perfect convergence of their potent musicality and forward-thinking vision, the track unfolds in a gorgeous explosion of shimmering synth and frenetic beats, endlessly building in intensity while orbiting around a pulsating groove. The result: a wildly infectious force of nature primed to overtake dance floors all across the globe.
‘in2minds’ first began building buzz back in May, when Disclosure previewed it during their B2B set with Mochakk at Cercle Festival. After teasing the track in July at Black Book On The Pier in Brooklyn, Lake appeared as a surprise guest at Disclosure’s Friends & Family pop-up in Los Angeles in August and once again thrilled the crowd with a special preview of ‘in2minds.’ In addition, leading DJs like Four Tet, salute, Joy Orbison, Ben UFO, and more have played the tune nonstop at underground club shows all summer long.
An Epic Summer for Chris Lake & Disclosure
Dropping a month after Lake and Disclosure delivered powerhouse sets at HARD Summer in LA, ‘in2minds’ caps off a historic summer for both acts. To that end, Lake is still riding high off his hit collab ‘Summertime Blues‘ with Sammy Virji — a feel-good house anthem that landed on a number of Spotify Viral charts, reigned at #1 on the dance/electronic club charts for several weeks, and received a Danny Howard “Hottest Record” premiere in the UK. In the midst of dominating major festivals all throughout the season, Lake also released Black Book ID’s: Chapter 8 (the latest compilation from the pioneering label he founded in 2016), whose globe-spanning tracklist includes Cloonee’s remix of his 2022 hit ‘In The Yuma‘ ft. Aatig.
Meanwhile, Disclosure scored a global smash with ‘She’s Gone, Dance On,‘ an unstoppable summer heater that premiered as the “Hottest Record” on BBC Radio 1’s “New Music Show with Jack Saunders,” debuted at 16 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, and graced Billboard’s Friday Dance Music Guide. Since premiering in May (with its stunningly choreographed video following in July), the lush and euphoric track has received remixes from the likes of U.K. phenom Hamdi, Turkish DJ Carlita, and U.S. legend Todd Edwards.

Kevin De Vries returns to Afterlife with ‘Saga EP’ and Y do I

Just ahead of Afterlife’s event in Milan, planned for tomorrow, Tale Of Us’s imprint is spicing things up with a new imprint. Long-time Afterlife artist Kevin De Vries has teamed up with the Y do I duo for Saga EP. The three-track EP includes Parts Of Me and Arrakeen as well as the EP title track.
The new EP combines emotionally charged moments with pulsating basslines and high-energy harmonies. Tapping into the juxtaposition of light and dark, the EP exemplifies the Afterlife sound, cultivating human connection through rhythm, emotion, and vibration.
The EP opens with its title track “Saga,” a composition that embodies the classic Afterlife style. It unfolds gradually, beginning with cinematic, dreamy harmonies. Then, it evolves into a hypnotic plucked arpeggio, skillfully blending progressive elements with melodic lines.
Following the opener, “Part Of Me” treads a similar path but with a darker, more mysterious atmosphere. An enigmatic synth line elevated by stunning vocals drives the track. It perfectly complements the moody soundscape.
The EP concludes with “Arrakeen,” a clear homage to Hans Zimmer’s Dune soundtrack. This final track transports listeners to a vast and mysterious realm, where hypnotic, ethereal vocals create an otherworldly ambiance. The arrangement features a powerful breakdown that momentarily slows the pace, only to launch into an intense second drop characterized by hard techno beats.
Y do I at Afterlife If Kevin De Vries is a well-known name in the industry, who is Y do I? Amos Chalfonand David Semo – or Y do I as they’re more commonly known–have emerged as avid producers from the underground scene.
Their sound encapsulates a vast array of musical influences. They range from psytrance, house, minimal, melodic techno, and everything in between. The duo’s hard-hitting catalog of releases has enjoyed incredible live support from some of the biggest artists on the planet as well.

Up next for Afterlife
Are you looking for more Afterlife events? Afterlife is set to close Ushuaia and Hi Ibiza this October as well. Tale Of Us label is also teaming up with Tomorrowland for two events during Amsterdam Dance Event and Anyma will play at The Sphere on New Year’s Eve.

‘>Album Title Goes Here<’ by Deadmau5 Turns 12

The sixth studio album by Canadian electronic music legend Deadmau5, ‘>Album Title Goes Here<’, and its deluxe edition, has officially turned 12 years old today. Released on September 21, 2012, the album showcases Deadmau5’s signature sound, packed with a mix of progressive and electro house music.
This album produced five standout singles that made waves in the EDM scene: ‘Maths,’ ‘The Veldt,’ ‘Professional Griefers,’ ‘Channel 42,’ and ‘Telemiscommunications’. Each track carried its own distinct flavor, from the emotional depth of ‘The Veldt’, which is inspired by Ray Bradbury’s short story of the same name, to the high-octane collaboration with Gerard Way on ‘Professional Griefers’. The deluxe edition offered extra treats, including live fan-favorite ‘Strobe,’ the Tommy Trash remix of ‘The Veldt’, and the radio edit of ‘Professional Griefers’.
Upon its release, ‘>Album Title Goes Here<’ debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums and the UK Dance Albums chart, while also claiming the #2 spot on the Canadian Albums Chart, further solidifying Deadmau5’s dominance in the electronic music scene. The album also became his second to receive a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronica Album at the 55th Grammy Awards, though it ultimately lost to Skrillex’s Bangarang.
One of the most viral stories tied to this album is how the track ‘The Veldt’ came to life. The song’s lyrics were created through a encounter on Twitter between Deadmau5 and a fan named Chris James. After Deadmau5 shared an instrumental preview of ‘The Veldt’ on SoundCloud, Chris James reached out, sharing his own vocal version of the track. Initially skeptical, Deadmau5 decided to give it a listen, famously saying, “I am going to totally critique this.” To his surprise, James’s vocals were a perfect fit, ultimately leading to their inclusion in the final version of the song. The collaboration added emotional depth to ‘The Veldt’, making it one of the most iconic tracks on the album.
As we celebrate 12 years of ‘>Album Title Goes Here<’, it’s clear that this album remains a pivotal release in Deadmau5’s career. From viral fan interactions to Grammy nominations, this album has left a lasting legacy in the world of electronic dance music.

DJ Stingray 313 EP on Tresor

Tresor Records drops ‘INDUSTRY 4.0’ EP by DJ Stingray 313, out today. The EP is a sonic exploration into modern manufacturing concepts and the impact on humanity. Today they share the music video for the single ‘LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL’. As the title suggests, it represents a ride through the depths of large language models from the analogue to the digital and the worlds in between, ending in a collapse. 
Moods and titles across the EP cover artificial intelligence (LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL), the internet, and robotics (MULTI FUNCTIONAL ROBOTICS and SENSOR DATA) – all set to his signature high-energy, industrial, cyborg-style productions. Together, the tracks on INDUSTRY 4.0 work as a striking and current introspective of humanity’s uncertain evolution, moving as fast as the technology it creates.
A Detroit native, Sherard Ingram is an established figure in electro & techno from its earliest days, a menacing node in the vast tangle of electronic music’s history, present & future. His Urban Tribe project is testament to this. First appearing on the genre-defining 1991 compilation ‘Equinox,’ Urban Tribe has come to call Anthony Shakir, Carl Craig & Kenny Dixon Jr. members of the group. Though perhaps what has thus far come to be Ingram’s most finely calibrated and entirely natural manoeuvre was under the wing of Drexciya’s James Stinson. Performing with Drexciya’s live unit, Ingram took the ‘Drexciyan DJ Stingray’ identity and conjured a torrential storm from the DJ booth. His aqua-genetic code persists in the form of NRSB-11, his collaboration with the other half of Drexciya, Gerald Donald.
In 2017 Stingray mixed Kern Vol.4, Tresor’s compilation DJ mix series, while he’s released on both genre- centric & experimental labels from Planet E to Presto!? and from Mahogani Music to Reflex, his Micron Audio imprint to name a few.

Louis The Child's New Album Dares You to Dance Through It All

In their most mature work to-date, Louis The Child prove that growing up doesn't mean growing out of the ability to see magic in the mundane.
Out now via Interscope, their new album The Sun Comes Up taps into the wellspring of human experience through tracks that pulse with the electric current of childlike wonder. Inviting us to shed our cynical shells, the album is a sonic playground where sadness becomes a trampoline, launching us through a song-cycle of aching lyricism and walk-on-air production.
The Sun Comes Up doesn't shy away from the shadows, instead urging us to find joy in the unexpected and to wear our emotions like battle scars. Each track is a neon-bright reminder to follow your gut and to let your heart be your compass in a world too often governed by cold logic.
Freddy Kennett (L) and Robby Hauldren (R) of Louis The Child.Joey Vitalari
Longtime fans of Louis The Child will find solace in the familiar dance-pop of "tip toe." The lyric, "My love was made for you, don't you tiptoe 'round it" dares listeners to dive headlong into a love's intoxicating depths, forsaking caution for connection. The same goes for "Wonderful," an ode to their hometown of Chicago where bubbly house beats mutate into blissed-out trap drops that fizz with frenetic bass.
Another standout arrives with "Let You Go," which finds the duo reuniting with Drew Love, with whom they released the fan-favorite "Free" back in 2019. This time around, they've crafted a bittersweet anthem for those caught between holding on and letting go. Louis The Child's deep dubstep production mirrors the turbulent emotions of a relationship slipping away while Love's lyrics embrace the reluctant release.
To that end, it's no wonder why Louis The Child's Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett called The Sun Comes Up their "most personal project to date." Like a sugar-coated pill, the album swallows the bitter realities of life whole and leaves a sweet aftertaste of hope.
"It's what feels worth the time and energy, doing your best to make the world brighter for yourself, and then along the way, for everyone else, too," Hauldren said in a press release. "When you're intentionally making music, it's your choice what to say. Are you going to talk about how much you hate a person, or are you going to talk about how you've grown from how they treated you, and try to find some new understanding through it?"

Mat Zo Returns to Anjunabeats With Retrofuturistic EP, "ZOCASE"

Past is prologue in the case of ZOCASE, Mat Zo's new Anjunabeats EP, a veritable showcase of his unflinching willingness to produce electronic music that defies.
Zo is one of the most celebrated artists on Above & Beyond's illustrious electronic label, which released his debut album, Damage Control, back in 2013. That record featured "Easy," a collaboration with Porter Robinson that remains a generational dance anthem.
True to form, ZOCASE is not background noise for the faint-hearted—it's a full-contact sport for the ears, a labyrinth where each track stretches beyond the eight-minute mark. He weaves a cocoon of vintage electro and techno in these songs, each of which is a miniature universe unto itself.
Fans of Zo know the beauty of his music lies in its details. He kicks off with "Relic of the Future," where his mastery of sound design shines with textured, propulsive production. One moment you're floating through cosmic synth leads, the next you're thrust into a centrifuge of gritty electro.
The producer's meticulous attention to stereo imaging and frequency spectrum manipulation is clear in the ensuing "Bluish Yellow," a lysergic, soaring track that could soundtrack a woozy drive out of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Here, complex arrangements and dynamic builds culminate in cathartic progressive house drops. He then closes ZOCASE with "This Too Shall Pass," a glitchy techno floor-filler with energy that refuses to relent until its atmospheric coda.
The EP takes its name from Zo's audiovisual concept "ZOCASE," which he debuted at Aures London back on June 29th, 2023 before touring the show across North America. He's now set for a momentous showcase at New York City's famed Irving Plaza on December 6th.

Listen to the First-Ever Drum & Bass Track Released on Martin Garrix's STMPD RCRDS

Arcando and Vluarr have joined forces for a new collaboration, "Ascend," out now on Martin Garrix's STMPD RCRDS. It's the first original drum & bass track to release on the label, a STMPD representative confirmed to EDM.com.
Garrix recently made waves during his performance at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in the Bay Area, where he dropped the then-unreleased song. Attendees of the "Animals" producer's DJ sets are always bound to hear a slew of epic electro and big room anthems, but hearing him dabble in drum & bass was an unexpected surprise that left fans wanting more.
Luckily for them, the track that turned heads is finally out now. "Ascend" finds Arcando and Vluarr teaming up with Felix Samuel for a heady drum & bass anthem. It kicks off with Samuel's emotive lyrics leading the way as a synth rumbles gently beneath the surface as if it's about to strike at a moment's notice.
Angelic strings then lift the vocals as they morph into a battle cry before the producers uncage a hyperactive drop sequence. Here, powerful kickdrums and frenetic percussion patterns slice through the mix with the precision of a katana through bamboo.
After Garrix played Arcando's viral remix of Alok and The Chainsmokers' "Jungle" at Ultra Miami, he connected with Vluarr and the two got to work.
"Just like I did with 'Jungle,' we wanted to do something different outside of the usual drum & bass sound with influences from bass house and cinematic dance music," Arcando tells EDM.com. "As I've been a fan of Martijn's music ever since the releases of 'Animals' and 'Virus,' it's truly an honor to get the nod for the first original drum & bass song on STMPD RCRDS, and I'm excited to keep on merging drum & bass with other electronic dance music genres with my next releases."

Purple Disco Machine's "Paradise" Album Is a Dance-Fueled Escape Hatch

The mundane melts away under the smoldering grooves of Purple Disco Machine's music in his stunning new album, Paradise.
Out now via Sony Music, Paradise is the Grammy-winning producer's most evocative body of work yet. The electric tingle of anticipation before a first kiss, the warmth of sunshine on bare skin, the effervescent laughter of a shared inside joke—the album is a passport to those experiences.
Through 15 tracks and bubbly collaborations with Nile Rodgers, Metronomy, Duke Dumont and more, PDM offers his interpretations of what it means to truly feel alive. There's no skips here, just dopamine-fueled nu-disco with a retro touch.
Purple Disco Machine.Dennis Dirksen
A surefire highlight comes with the synth-soaked "Bad Company," a track with enough cowbells to finally satisfy Will Ferrell. Another standout is the MORGAN-assisted "Can't Stop Loving You," where he dials down the tempo to drop a slow-burning dance-pop track akin to velvet curtains and cognac.
Elsewhere, Purple Disco Machine and Chromeo's infectious melodies burrow their way into your consciousness with the funky, vocoder-laden "Heartbreaker." The same goes for "All My Life," a walk-on-air disco anthem that fires up the nostalgia machine to a time when the genre ruled the night, but with a contemporary twist that keeps it fresh and relevant.
Purple Disco Machine is now taking Paradise on an eponymous tour in which he's performing with a full band for the first time in his career. The new live show is "like nothing I've ever done before," he said in a press release.
"The live show is a completely new production, it's actually like nothing I've ever done before - songs are combined in mashups, new songs are included, old songs are included, in new variations. And all this with live artists, with live singers, with dancers, in a completely new guise”

Armin van Buuren and Louis III Cherish Summer's Final Days in Radiant Afro House Track, "Part of Me"

Providing one last dose of sunshine before fall begins, Armin van Buuren and Louis III have released a radiant new single, "Part of Me."
The track marks the first time van Buuren has explored the sounds of Afro house, according to a press release issued by his label, Armada Music.
"Many years ago, I found that there’s something to love in every single genre, no matter the style of music you prefer as a whole," van Buuren said. "I’ve had the pleasure of having some of my original tracks pushed in the Afro house space by some insanely talented remixers, and what got me and inspired me was the soulfulness and warmth the genre offers in spades. I felt compelled to channel this, and I’m glad I crossed paths with Louis III to make this happen."
Paired with the song's rhythmic drums, Louis III's lighthearted vocals transport you to a beach that never closes for the season. Penning deep and intimate lyrics, the South London-born singer-songwriter called the opportunity to work alongside van Buuren "a dream come true."
"Part of Me" arrives shortly after the release of "Follow The Light," the A State of Trance icon's first collaboration with Hardwell in nearly a decade. Not long before that, van Buuren shared "Es Vedrà," a track doubling as a tribute to his favorite location in Ibiza.
"Part of Me" is out now on Armada. Listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.
