Trance can be uplifting, spiritual, and inspiring. However, it can also be dark, rowdy, and tasty. This is the case with Matt Fax‘s new explosive track ‘Raven’. Following the trend with Armada Music‘s more techno-ish sound, ‘Raven’ will launch you into another realm of electronic atmospheres. Edgar Allan Poe could never, let’s have a look at Fax’s new dark and raw sonic escapade.

His ever-growing catalogue is a testament to his versatility, each track a vibrant bloom within the vast garden of his melodic and atmospheric signature sound. Though just in his twenties, Matt has already achieved milestones most musicians dream of. Releases on labels like Enhanced Music, Armada, and Anjunabeats stand as markers of his talent. He’s even graced Colorize with a full album, reimagining the sonic landscape.

Fresh off his EDC Las Vegas headlining set at the BassPod, trap/dubstep kingpin NGHTMRE has unveiled his latest EP, UNSOUND 2. Launched in 2022 with its inaugural edition, the UNSOUND concept is a vessel for cultivating cross-genre collaborations and championing emerging dubstep acts – a multi-purpose project that showcases NGHTMRE’s world-class production and curatorial talents.
Unsound 2
The DJ/producer’s UNSOUND 2 EP combines bass juggernauts with rising stars for six tracks that are brimming with boisterous beats and gripping sound design. The EP’s grandiose, opulent approach is exemplified on tracks such as ‘TORTURE,’ a collaboration with Dutch bass prodigy Franky Nuts and goth-inspired vocalist DeathbyRomy. Kicking off with lush piano chord progressions that underlie DeathbyRomy’s haunting opening verse, the track builds with atmospheric textures and ascending synths before dropping into a section of massive, syncopated bass rhythms.
The rest of UNSOUND 2’s tracklist is filled with similarly forward-thinking, ferocious presentations. ‘In Your Eyes‘ sees NGHTMRE tap into some of the most in-demand up-and-coming acts, such as experimental bass purveyor Jon Casey and producer/vocalist Pauline Herr. The result is a towering sonic arena full of distorted, growling bass wubs and thunderous, trunk-rattling percussion.
On ‘Thrilla,’ a track with trap-infused bass producer Juelz and British rapper ShaSimone, the three artists combine breakbeats, trap rhythms, and blazing industrial sound design with buttery hip-hop vocal flows. Then, on ‘ALL NIGHT,’ NGHTMRE brings on queen Rezz for an alternative version of ‘TORTURE,’ retaining the central principles of the original track but infusing it with Rezz’s spacious, signature mid-tempo bliss.
UNSOUND 2 is then rounded out by ‘Restless,’ a euphoric track with genre-blending dubstep maestro Liquid Stranger and angelic vocalist Mougleta, and ‘Brand New Love,’ a dynamic collaboration with future riddim pioneer Ace Aura and singer Marlhy that combines shiny, laser-infused bass sound design with plucky melodies.
Bold, audacious, and immaculately constructed, UNSOUND 2 is a spellbinding exhibition of NGHTMRE’s collaborative production prowess, and a perfect way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his artist project.\

Today, LA based producer Sam Blacky drops her new single ‘Ronaldinho‘ via the tastemaking label Easier Said. This high-energy track features the powerhouse vocals of Nigerian superstar Niniola, creating a global dance floor anthem.

‘Ronaldinho,’ dropping just in time for summer, isn’t just a catchy groover. Blacky’s production magic shines through with a four-on-the-floor beat that perfectly complements Niniola’s stunning vocals.

Kiesza’s back, and she’s bringing a kaleidoscope of emotions with her. Today marks the release of her highly anticipated album, Dancing And Crying, Vol. 1, a deeply personal exploration of growth and resilience.

She’s collaborated with musical giants like Diplo, Skrillex, deadmau5, and Duran Duran. Kiesza’s latest offering seamlessly blends dance, house, and electro-pop with the folk influences that have always colored her songwriting.

It was a period of uncertainty, but Kiesza persevered, her resilience reflected in her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Crave.

Serving as a vehicle to champion promising bass music artists, NGHTMRE's new EP is as much a music release as it is an incubator.
Unsound 2, out now via his own Gud Vibrations imprint, finds the producer unleashing a torrent of explosive collaborations alongside artists from whom he's drawn inspiration in that time.
"The UNSOUND projects are all about collaboration! I reached out to some of my favorite producers from all over the world for this EP," NGHTMRE said in a press release. "I really tried not to think too much on a specific genre or boundary for this, and just focused on writing what felt cool and inspiring."
It's tough to believe it's been 10 years since the advent of NGHTMRE, whose sound remains as compelling as ever. Through its alchemical fusion of seasoned mastery and unbridled potential, the project challenges the boundaries of bass music while nurturing the nascent talents that will help sculpt the genre's future.

Featuring six vocal-driven bass anthems with bite, the EP is where the unsound becomes the profoundly sublime. Listeners needn't look any further than its opener, "All Night," a midtempo collaboration with Rezz and DeathbyRomy that doubles as a masterclass in tension and release.
The same goes for "In Your Eyes," where Pauline Herr's aching vocals—a captivating cry for help—serenade us through an arrangement with squelching dubstep drops from NGHTMRE and Jon Casey; and "Torture," where DeathbyRomy reappears with her haunting vocal swells before they're swallowed by Franky Nuts' ferocious production.
Elsewhere, NGHTMRE goes fire-and-brimstone alongside Juelz in "Thrilla," a distorted trap banger featuring the slick braggadocio of British-Ghanaian rapper ShaSimone; and "Torture," an anthemic heavy-hitter with Liquid Stranger and Mougleta.
The EP's crown jewel, however, is saved for last. NGHTMRE closes with "Brand New Love," a collaboration with Marlhy and EDM.com Class of 2022 star Ace Aura. A cathartic exploration of toxic relationships and self-destructive coping mechanisms, Marlhy's lyricism resonates with searing emotional honesty as Aura's signature color-bass sound soars.

Hot on the heels of making his debut at the globally renown Ultra Music Festival in Miami earlier this year, Ekonovah continues his hot streak of releases with his two-track EP ‘Vibrant’. The EP follows on from his three singles earlier this year and is the first EP he’s released since ‘Weightless’ back in 2022.
Consisting of his two club-ready, original productions ‘Vibrant’ and ‘Best of Me’, this EP gives us yet another glimpse into the pulsating and rhythmic sound that Ekonovah has perfected over the years. It starts out with title track ‘Vibrant’ and right from the start he introduces us to an infectious hook that quickly gets injected with a rocking basslines and drum loops that will have you head bopping instantly. The second single is more of the same, with an energetic tone and vibe being the main attraction as rhythmic elements carry the groove.
“This EP defines my sound as an artist. Vibrant has been a staple in my sets for years, I finished it back in 2021 and for 3+ years, labels have denied it over and over again. I finally decided to put it out and stop waiting for a label to see what I see in it. Around this time I was working on Best of Me, a 132bpm track and easily the highest tempo track I’d ever made! It was really exciting. I was sitting there looking at FL Studio and was thinking to myself ‘I’m gonna take a risk and put out Vibrant, here’s this new song at a BPM I’ve never worked on before, this is a risk too, let’s make it an EP.’ Making that decision felt really good, and I’m so glad I did because now these two tracks are out in the world! And, the cherry on top, I think they both sound perfect for the summer season. I just couldn’t be happier!” says Ekonovah

Sam Blacky's transition into globally-inspired music has led to some of her best work to-date. This time around, she's outdone herself by joining forces with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Niniola for a soulful new track, "Ronaldinho."
Out now via Easier Said, the song is a masterful showing from both Blacky and Niniola, who have cooked up a summer hit befit for a club, festival or trip to the beach. The four-on-the-floor beat is peppered with nuance, beautifully incorporating Niniola's stunning voice for an experience that's both spiritual and uplifting. 
However, the track isn't simply just a club-ready showcase. With lyrics inspired by the iconic footballer Ronaldinho, it holds deeper meaning for both Blacky and Niniola, the former's adoration of Afro-house flourishing while the latter's Nigerian roots bloom with visceral storytelling.
"As the years have passed, my passion has become more and more integrated with what we know as Afro house," Blacky said in a press release. "When the opportunity came up to work with one of the original, most iconic singers in that realm, all the way from Nigeria, there was no question. I heard what Niniola had done with the vocals for 'Ronaldinho' and knew I had to make this song with her. Having someone who is such an amazing storyteller, with such an incredible voice, who has lived this life through and through brings an entirely different message and meaning to the music."

The next release on the mighty Positiva Records is a collaboration of dance music’s most globally recognized names. Ukrainian duo ARTBAT remix The Chemical Brothers‘ seminal club classic, ‘Hey Boy, Hey Girl.’
The Chemical Brothers laid the foundations for the early dance music sound and have remained at its forefront ever since. As live artists and producers, they have explored many styles, from psychedelic to big beat to techno. They have crafted countless global hits and Number 1 albums, from their groundbreaking debut Exit Planet Dust in 1995 to their recent ninth album, No Geography, which was the pair’s sixth successful chart-topper. They have played every major festival on the planet, and for years ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ remains one of their most recognizable tracks. 
ARTBAT are modern dance music tastemakers who have a widescreen sound that is meticulously well crafted, whether operating in deep melodic worlds or more powerful techno spheres. They head up their own influential UPPERGROUND label, and already this year, they have played two scintillating shows at Coachella and will soon open Amnesia Ibiza‘s first-ever melodic techno residency, Horizon. Artur and Batish are huge fans of the whole Chemical Brothers music legacy as they grew up on it and still get a lot of inspiration and influence from them.
The electrifying ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ (ARTBAT Remix) retains the original’s buzzy synth texture and tension but with extra synths layered in that spray about the mix over the rolling drums. It’s an intense remix that forms a wall of sound that washes over the dance floor, and once the iconic and anthemic original vocal hook is unleashed, the roof will surely be blown off. 
You can listen to it below and on all available streaming platforms.

Forget teenage angst, Vincent Do was living the teenage rave dream! From yacht parties to mind-blowing raves, Do has spent years across the Southwest igniting dance floors and fostering a vibrant community of audiophiles – people who don’t just dance, they feel the music.
Audio Bar
Las Vegas, a city that thrives on pushing boundaries, has been Do’s playground for over a decade. Yet, amidst the dazzling lights and electrifying experiences, Do sees a glaring omission: a dedicated party bar for the EDM faithful. He envisions a space where the bass throbs, the lasers ignite the night, and conversations pulsate with the same energy as the music. This, Do declares, is the missing link in Vegas’ vibrant nightlife scene.
Vincent Do Do, the enigmatic mastermind behind Audio Bar, promises an experience beyond the ordinary. Walls adorned with autographed memorabilia, signed by the very DJs and artists who ignite the scene – a testament to the passion that fuels this space. But the intrigue doesn’t stop there. Imagine a rotating gallery, a kaleidoscope of memories curated by event photographers and stagehands – the silent heroes who orchestrate the magic.
The dedication to detail extends even to the most unexpected corners. Rumors swirl that the very bathrooms will pay homage to iconic events like Coachella and Burning Man. Is it a portal to another dimension?
Vincent’s Notes
By day, Audio Bar transforms into a sanctuary for sonic explorers. Imagine, if you will, a haven bathed in warm sunlight, where vintage record players hum a gentle melody. Here, nestled amongst a treasure trove of EDM vinyl, lies a space for the soul to delve into the vibrant tapestry of sound. Borrow a pair of plush headphones and let the music transport you, a solitary journey into the heart of rhythm and melody.
This isn’t your average Vegas experience. Imagine Bruno Mars‘ Pinky Ring’s electrifying mix of live jazz, buzzing dance floors, and a phone-free policy – Audio Bar takes that energy and adds its own spin. Think Jing, Downtown Summerlin’s chameleon, seamlessly switching between a swanky restaurant and an ultra-lounge (though Audio Bar welcomes you in whatever you feel most comfortable grooving in).
The Vision
Forget the rigid dress codes of some Vegas spots. Audio Bar embraces the free-spirited energy of Fremont East’s bar-hopping scene, ready to ignite your senses with high-octane vibes. Its closest competitor? The legendary Artifice Bar, which once ruled the street corner. However, Corner Bar Management has a different vision for that space now, transforming it into the exclusive Doberman bar.
Vincent Do spent years promoting clubs in Southern California and Scottsdale, Arizona. Now, he’s setting his sights on Las Vegas, but with a twist. He wants to capture the relaxed, welcoming vibe of Scottsdale’s nightlife scene, but with a focus on high-quality EDM music. Unlike some Vegas clubs, Audio Bar won’t have a strict dress code. “One thing Scottsdale gets right,” Do says with a laugh, “is attracting a good-looking crowd.” Looks like Vegas has some friendly competition coming its way!

The result was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing the duo’s innovative production skills and their ability to create music that resonates on a global scale.

Its infectious melody, catchy lyrics, and unique fusion of styles captivated listeners, cementing the track’s place as an iconic EDM anthem.
As Axwell Λ Ingrosso continue to influence the electronic music scene, ‘More Than You Know’ stands as a testament to their creativity and their ability to push the boundaries of what is possible in dance music. The track remains a beloved classic, celebrated by fans and fellow artists alike, and its legacy continues to inspire new generations of music lovers.

As someone lucky enough to attend both days of the inaugural CORE Medellín festival, I can confidently say this was one of the most unique and ambitious dance music events I’ve ever experienced.
Tomorrowland’s creative wizards absolutely outdid themselves with the spectacular new CORE stage design that debuted here in the beautiful Parque Norte of Colombia’s second-largest city.
The new stage: a massive 17-meter tall and 30-meter wide structure
The 17-meter tall, 30-meter wide inflatable stage was a true feat of engineering – packed with 209 moving lights, water features that shot geysers into the air, dazzling pyrotechnics, thick clouds of smoke and fog, and brilliant LED displays. Yet the entire stage broke down into just a single shipping container for its world tour. The visual production seamlessly melded with thumping techno and house sounds to create an all-encompassing audiovisual journey.
Over the two sold-out days, nearly 40,000 music fans were treated to 22 hours of memorable performances spread across the CORE stage and two other more intimate stages – the woodsy AltVerda and mystical Arbo setups.
AltVerda stage at CORE Medellín 2024 The lineup
The CORE stage hosted headlining performances from the likes of ANNA, BICEP’s high-energy DJ set, Brina Knauss, Mind Against’s hypnotic beats, and a live hardware set from Turkish composer Bora Uzer that was a particular standout.
The AltVerda stage’s unique design with light columns stretching into the forest set the scene for DJ BORING’s quirky sounds, the dark techno of HAAi and fka.m4a, and Dana Montana’s vocal house. Meanwhile, the fabrics and smoky atmosphere of the Arbo stage made for a cozy vibe as Julianna, Mystery Affair, Valesuchi and others performed.
As both sunsets cascaded purples and oranges across the Medellín sky, the CORE stage really came alive with its full lighting wizardry synchronized to every kick drum. Towering inflatable sculptures shifted colors and shapes in time with the music in a truly mesmerizing display. With convenient amenities and plenty of space to dance, the grounds of Parque Norte made for the ideal setting.
From Tulum to Medellín and Tomorrowland Belgium
After its unforgettable debut in Tulum’s jungles earlier this year, the CORE stage has now worked its magic in Medellín before continuing its global tour to Tomorrowland’s 20th anniversary in Belgium this summer and then Tomorrowland Brasil in October. If those shows are anything like this spellbinding experience in Colombia, they are can’t-miss events for dance music fans.
CORE Medellín felt like the start of a new era of immersive and spectacular festival experiences. By investing in a mobile mega-structure stage while still booking a diverse array of forward-thinking artists, the event struck the perfect balance between artistry and innovation.
We are already eagerly awaiting to see where the CORE concept travels next!

Machinedrum (aka Travis Stewart) releases his long-awaited, genre-defying new album ‘3FOR82’. Between drum & bass, hip-hop, jazz, R&B and juke, Stewart weaves in an impressive crew of collaborators on ‘3FOR82’ including Jesse Boykins III, the album’s co-executive producer, plus various contributions from KUČKA, AKTHESAVIOR, Duckwrth, Ezri, Tanerélle, DeniroFarrar, TopazJones, deem spencer, ajamonet, ROZET, WillJohnson, IanMaciak and Tinashe. 
Throughout the album they ponder the question: “If you could visit with your younger self, what would you say to them?”. Travis himself re-visited old production methods from his teenage years making beats for the album using ImpulseTracker (a 90s software sequencer) and in that way, having a conversation with his younger self. The result is an album threading the needle between past, present and future; one that is as equally compassionate as it is boisterous, as comforting as it is defiant, and 100% true to Travis’ enduring M.O.
‘3FOR82’ builds on the vocalist-centric, genre-blending songwriting of the last Machinedrum album, 2020’s ‘A View Of U’, and the thematic groundwork laid down on the 2023 EP ‘4#TRAX’. This rich, prismatic approach to collaboration builds on the uptempo vocal manipulations that won Stewart acclaim in electronic communities, notably on 2011’s breakout LP ‘Room(s)’ and 2013 opus ‘Vapor City’. Previous singles on ‘3FOR82’ include “ZOOM (feat. Tinashe)”, “ILIKEU (feat. Duckwrth)”, “RISE (feat. ROZET)” and “WEARY (feat. Mick Jenkins & Jesse Boykins III)” which showcase Stewart’s mastery of club music and impressive range. 
Machinedrum takes his brand new live AV show featuring drummer Ian Maciak and visuals by Strangeloop Studios on tour this Spring/Summer. Headline shows kicked off in Australia and NZ during March, followed by North America in (May-July) and UK/EU planned for October. Tickets are on sale now for his London show at Studio9294 on 16th October. 
2024 summer festivals include Northern Nights, June Jam, SolFest, BassCoast, and Bonnaroo as well as Lightning in a Bottle today, where Machinedrum will be celebrating the album’s release with a special DoLab listening party.
