[GrooveCartel] J. Worra & Haley May Unleash “Can’t Get Enough”

J. Worra is back with her much-anticipated new single “Can’t Get Enough,” which features the stunning singing of London’s famous singer-songwriter Haley May. This dark and funky tech-house track is a turning point in J. Worra’s work, which is always changing.
J. Worra is a well-known name in the underground dance scene for making cutting-edge house music that mixes old-school elements with modern club sounds. “Can’t Get Enough” is no different—its pulsing drum patterns, haunting pads, and warbling synth leads create a lysergic appeal that is hard to resist. The sultry, R&B-tinged vocals of Haley May give the track a tempting intensity that makes it a peak-time weapon.
J. Worra has had a string of hit songs on Insomniac Records, such as “Dancing At The Disco,” “Lightning To Strike,” and “Burn This House.” These got a lot of airplay on BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM, 538 Dance, Ibiza 1, SLAM!, and Radio Metro. Billboard and Beatportal also wrote about them.
In the meantime, Haley May is still making moves in the world of dance music. Gorgon City, John Summit, Dillon Francis, Tiësto, and Louis The Child are just a few of the artists she has worked with or written songs with. She is a sought-after force in the scene because of her unique voice and natural knack for writing catchy hooks.
The ‘New Vantage’ Tour by J. Worra has over 30 stops, including big festivals like EDC Mexico and Miami Music Week. With “Can’t Get Enough,” she adds to her status as one of the most exciting house music producers working on new music right now.
You can now get Can’t Get Enough by J. Worra and Haley May from Insomniac Records.

[GrooveCartel] Lauren Mia returns to Interstellar with new single “Together As One”

Multidisciplinary artist and producer Lauren Mia keeps going strong with “Together As One,” which features Luke Coulson and is released by Insomniac Records’ Interstellar Recordings. The release is her return to the label after “Freedom” last year. It comes at the same time that her own Halcyon Label is having a strong launch.
“Together As One” shows how Lauren Mia’s artistic vision is changing by combining her signature melodic style with Coulson’s unique singing. The song is her latest attempt to explore awareness and connection through electronic music. It builds on the ideas she explored in her recent Halcyon Label debut, “Sapiosensual,” which got support from big names like Layton Giordani, Yotto, Ben Malone (KISS FM), and Pretty Pink. The launch of Halcyon was a big step forward for Lauren’s art. She is now able to balance her ambitious goals as an independent artist with putting out songs with important labels in her field.
Lauren Mia and her career
The single’s release comes after a very busy time for Lauren Mia. To build on the success of her Armada Music Electronic Elements debut single “Halcyon” in late 2024, she released “Sapiosensual” in January as the first release on the Halcyon Label. Her most recent work includes covers for Boris Brejcha’s Fckng Serious label and Pretty Pink, as well as her own EP called “Spectral Reverie.” Her first record, “RE:BIRTH,” came out in late 2023 and was followed by a 10-track remix compilation with new versions of her songs by Alfa Romero, Aalson, SKALA, Anakim, Binaryh, and others.
Along with her work in the studio, Lauren Mia’s live shows in 2024 at prestigious venues such as Brooklyn Mirage/Avant Gardner, Hi Ibiza, and Soho Garden showed how her musical philosophy could be used in real life. Her performances at the Zamna, About You Pangea, and Magic Break festivals have made her even more well-known around the world. Her lengthy tours of India, Europe, the US, and Australasia have also helped build her reputation. This momentum will continue into 2025, as Lauren has announced that she will make her debut festival performance at EDC Las Vegas as part of the Interstellar Recordings showcase.
Lauren Mia is still growing as an artist, and “Together As One” is another important step on her way from being an up-and-coming songwriter to a well-known leader in electronic music. Since she started making music in 2016, she has constantly pushed the limits of her craft while staying true to herself. From playing with big names like Adriatique, Mind Against, and Kaskade to starting her own label, her career shows that she has both professional skill and artistic vision. She brings her divine feminine energy to the top of electronic music with every release and performance, creating soundscapes that break rules and make deep emotional connections with people all over the world.

[GrooveCartel] Brock B’s “Faded Memories” Is Where Nostalgia Melts into Tomorrow’s Dawn

Brock B‘s latest song, “Faded Memories,” sounds like the quiet shores of Tulum. It’s a bright preview of his upcoming deep tech-house album. This song doesn’t just play; it unfolds, showing layers of sound that move between being awake and dreaming.
This piece was released as a radio-friendly preview of “Sounds of Tulum (Techhouse sessions),” and it takes listeners on an emotional journey through both old and new areas. The production has a natural warmth to it while still keeping the exactness that has become Brock’s trademark in the underground scene.
“Faded Memories” stands out because it can be used in so many different ways. It creates a cocoon of contemplative sound in small lounges, great for conversations at dusk when time seems to have stopped. When played after hours, however, the same track releases a soft euphoria that pushes bodies through space with hypnotic insistence.
Brock has a great sense of how to make music that makes you feel things. Bass elements give the music a solid base, while airy synth washes throw off the sense of time, just like memories do as they move between being clear and vague. Because of this duality, dancers are sometimes caught in mental currents while their bodies are still moving.
The beauty is in how well it controls its emotions, knowing when to show them and when to hide them. When you listen to this careful balance, the experience becomes almost ritualistic, with each sound element serving the larger goal of transporting and changing you.

[EDM.com] ODESZA Are Coming Home for Special Foreign Family 10-Year Anniversary Show in Seattle

A decade ago, two college friends from Western Washington launched a record label that helped shape an era of electronic music. This summer, that passion comes full circle as ODESZA return to Seattle for a once-in-a-decade homecoming.
The duo announced a special performance in their hometown of Seattle to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Foreign Family Collective, the independent label and artist community they founded back in 2015. A decade after laying the first brick, they are building a stage to celebrate everything the brand has become, a haven for unconventional voices and a catalyst for an era of emotive electronic music.
"We were two kids starting Foreign Family for the love of music, community, and sharing incredible art," ODESZA wrote on Instagram. What a ride it’s been since March 2015… See you in Seattle on August 2nd. The lineup? That's a secret, for now."
That secret lineup only heightens the stakes considering Foreign Family has long served as a launchpad for genre-defying artists. From the label’s earliest days, ODESZA used their platform to elevate other emerging artists, many of whom would go on to contribute electronic sleeper hits like Jai Wolf's "Indian Summer" and Big Wild's "When I Get There."
To ensure tickets go directly to fans, ODESZA are using Fair AXS registration. Fans must register by Sunday, March 23rd at 10pm PT for a chance to purchase tickets.

[EDM.com] Apashe and Malaa Conjure Symphony of Techno and Orchestral Fury in New Single, "No Escape"

Apashe and Malaa have joined forces for "No Escape," a track that stomps through time, blurs genre boundaries and scorches through cathedral ceilings into the club underworld.
Rising like a gothic opera, the new collaboration is a dramatic fusion of orchestral melodrama and blistering techno that finds two of dance music's most theatrical minds operating at full force.
Long revered for fusing classical music with with cinematic bass, Apashe sets the scene like a film composer. His signature is unmistakable in the track's sweeping strings, almost medieval in tone. Just as those melodies soar, however, Malaa’s underground instincts ground them in an energy that turns the drama into pure propulsion.
"No Escape" lands shortly after Malaa’s ambitious double-album release, All In and Blackout, a creative duality that pitted the artist against his own alter ego in a split-personality exploration of his sound. For Apashe, the track continues his ongoing campaign to rewrite the rules of electronic music performance and composition.

[EDM.com] Funkin Matt Channels Past and Present Into New Heldeep Track, "Perfect Dark"

Funkin Matt is rewriting memories on his new single, "Perfect Dark."
Released today via Oliver Heldens’ Heldeep Records, the track marks the penultimate chapter of the Norwegian producer's Nostalgia EP, a project rooted in the wonder of the 1990s and 2000s. Evocative and unapologetically rhythmic, the track transforms those nostalgic echoes into a storm of energy built for 2025 dancefloors.
Matt pushes his artistic identity into new territory while maintaining a pulse that club veterans and new ravers alike will find magnetic. While his production leans into the textures of garage, it’s polished through a futuristic lens.
"This track blends my love for Afro-house music with huge synths," he explains. "It’s heavily rhythm-focused, where every percussion hit matters."
Matt additionally cites a post-festival creative rush as the catalyst behind his new EP. 
"After returning from Shambhala, an incredible festival nestled deep in the Canadian woods, I found myself in an inspired creative flow… it felt surreal, like a dream or a live movie set," he recalled.

[GrooveCartel] Masha Vincent & Pascale Voltaire Create Dance Floor Alchemy on Deep Tales

Masha Vincent‘s newest song, “Tenderness,” and Pascale Voltaire‘s masterful remix show how technical precision and raw emotional impact can come together.
It was released on the cutting-edge Deep Tales label and is a two-track trip that uses sound to explore vulnerability in new and deeply human ways. The original mix is like a hypnotic invitation. Vincent weaves a sound tapestry where strange melodic techno elements are woven together with Asian-inspired harmonies, making places where people can lose themselves and then find them again.
Vincent paid great attention to every detail in the production; each percussion part fits perfectly in the mix and works with the ethereal synth work instead of fighting with it. What’s most amazing about the track is that it stays emotional even though it’s very technically difficult. Too often, producers choose function over feeling, but Vincent makes the emotional effect stronger by carefully choosing the sounds he uses.

In her version, Pascale Voltaire changes this emotional base and sees it through a darker, faster lens. It is amazing how things have changed. While Vincent makes room for reflection, Voltaire produces a sense of urgency with a strong, wide baseline that moves the air around it. The remix doesn’t just adapt; it talks with the original, recognizing what it’s about while making its own unique style.
In Voltaire’s version, the second half adds eerie vocal parts that float above the rhythmic structure like ghosts, making moments of dissonant beauty in the middle of the constant drive. This mix of ethereal and earthbound elements reflects the main idea of the release, which is that tenderness can show up in places where energy is usually expected.

[DA] Dancing Astronaut’s New Music Friday: March 21, 2025

Words by Alex Lambeau and Zach Salafia.
Josh Baker & Omar+ – Back It Up
Josh Baker — one of Dancing Astronaut‘s Artists to Watch in 2025 — is back with what many consider to be his most anticipated release to date. “Back It Up” lands as a collaboration with singer-songwriter Omar+, with the two delivering a groovy house anthem that’s designed for an intimate club setting. Released via Baker’s own label Baker’s Dozen, “Back It Up” arrives just in time for Miami Music Week and his You & Me event showcase at Floyd Miami.
ARTBAT & Benny Benassi – Love Is Gonna Save Us
ARTBAT and Benny Benassi have joined forces for a rework of an iconic 2003 anthem, “Love Is Gonna Save Us.” The new version blends Benassi’s original production with ARTBAT’s signature melodic, high-energy sound, creating a powerful record for the dancefloor. A seamless fusion of two generations of electronic music icons, “Love Is Gonna Save Us” pays homage to the past while propelling the genre into the future.  
Andrew Bayer, Blastoyz, Feed Me, Jason Ross, Kill The Noise, Last Heroes, Seven Lions, STAR SEED & Trivecta – Pantheon II (feat. Sarah Herz)
Over three years after the ground-breaking release of the label’s debut mega-collab, “Pantheon,” the Ophelia Records all-star squad is at it again. “Pantheon II” features a whopping 10 artists — including the label boss Seven Lions — that all come together to perfectly interweave their various production styles across the nearly six-minute long track.
ROSSY – RUSH
The undisputed trap queen and Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch alumni ROSSY has relinquished one of her most-awaited IDs over the past year. And that comes in the form of “RUSH,” ROSSY’s latest in a long line of high-energy singles. The Monstercat original serves as her first single of 2025 and follows her collaboration with Pauline Herr, “HOLY,” that was released at the tail end of last year.
Adam Beyer – Explorer
Still freshly removed from Drumcode being crowned Dancing Astronaut’s 2024 Label of the Year, Adam Beyer is primed for another massive year in 2025. Beyer just announced his upcoming album Explorer Vol. 1 is slated for June 13. The 16-track LP — including collaborations with Chris Avantgarde, HNTR, Layton Giordani, and more — promises “new sounds” and “no boundaries,” with Beyer putting that plan in motion with its lead single and title track.

[EDM.com] INZO Launches New Label, Local Void Records, Promising "No Limitations" for Artists

INZO has launched a new label, Local Void Records, marking a significant milestone in the career of one of today's brightest electronic music producers.
The label, which has been a decade-long ambition for the Chicago-born DJ, aims to provide a platform for emerging artists struggling to gain visibility in today's increasingly competitive dance music landscape.
"Manifesting a platform that provides opportunities for other artists to have a chance of getting their music heard is something I'm extremely passionate about," INZO said in a statement. "I understand the struggle of how hard it is to get your music out there and this feels like a way I can give back."
INZO first gained significant attention in 2018 with the release of "Overthinker," a breakthrough release that interpolates a sample of Alan Watts' philosophical musings through lush, atmospheric production. "Young Majestic," released in 2024, was named by EDM.com as one of the year's best tracks. He's now primed for his debut performance at EDC Las Vegas, one of the world's largest festivals, and his first-ever headline at Colorado's fabled Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
The name "Local Void" draws inspiration from astronomical concepts, representing an expansive space with unlimited potential for artists to experiment.
"The void is not empty... it's a place of infinite possibility, INZO explained. "Just like that cosmic void, Local Void is a space where artists can push boundaries and explore new dimensions of sound without limitation. It's a home for anyone who feels their music has something unique to offer, and it’s a space that will continually evolve, welcoming new voices and fresh ideas."
While the initial focus of Local Void will be on releasing music, INZO revealed plans for broader development. The label has assembled what he describes as "a team of passionate individuals who are excited to grow this entity into something bigger with the mission of uplifting and inspiring others."
The first releases from Local Void Records are expected to be announced in the weeks ahead. You can find out more about the new label at its official website.

[EDM.com] ILLENIUM and Kid Cudi Are Working on New Music

ILLENIUM has linked up with Kid Cudi in the studio, hinting at a potential dream collaboration.
The chart-topping DJ and producer took to his Instagram Story this week to share an image from a studio session with Cudi as well as a pair of Grammy-winning musicians, Jean Baptiste and Victor Thell.
For fans of both artists, this collaboration represents a natural evolution rather than a surprising departure. ILLENIUM has consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic music with punk and alt-rock influences while Cudi has never shied away from experimental soundscapes that defy traditional hip-hop constraints.
It's the latest foray into electronic music for the iconic rapper and singer-songwriter, whose track "Pursuit of Happiness" remains a generational dance anthem. Earlier this month, Cudi joined house music superstar Dom Dolla onstage at Madison Square Garden, where the two debuted a stunning collaboration.
It's important to note that neither Cudi nor ILLENIUM has formally confirmed a new single at the time of this writing. Check out an image from their studio session below.

[EDMTunes] Australia Falls Out of the Top 10 Global Music Markets

Australia has dropped out of the top 10 global music markets for the first time in nearly 30 years, according to the latest Global Music Report from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
The annual report, released this week, ranks the world’s largest music markets based on recorded music revenues. The United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom hold the top three positions. Australia on the other hand, which has been in the top 10 since at least 1996, has now fallen out. Mexico has overtaken it to claim the final spot.
Despite this shift, Australia’s recorded music revenues continue to grow. The IFPI report shows that revenues in Australasia reached $629 million in 2024, a 6.4% increase, with Australia itself seeing a 6.1% rise. New Zealand also experienced a 7.8% revenue boost. However, these gains were outpaced by faster-growing markets like Mexico, which saw a 15.6% increase. Brazil is now ranked ninth, with an impressive 21.7% growth.
Historically, Australia has been a strong contender in the global music industry, reaching as high as No. 6 in the IFPI rankings in 2004 and maintaining that position from 2007 to 2015. In recent years, however, the country has hovered near the edge of the top 10 before ultimately dropping out this past year.
This decline raises questions about the factors influencing Australia’s global position. While growth remains steady, the rapid rise of emerging markets suggests shifting industry investments and evolving audience engagement. Countries like Mexico and Brazil have benefited from increased A&R investment, marketing efforts, and local talent development, boosting their international influence.
Overall, the IFPI’s Global Market Overview remains optimistic, noting that global music revenues grew for the tenth consecutive year, rising 4.8% to $29.6 billion.
For Australia, the challenge now is to strengthen its foothold in the evolving global market. Recent figures from ARIA indicate six consecutive years of growth in Australia’s recorded music sector, but industry leaders may need to adopt new strategies to regain their competitive edge. Increased investment in local artists, a stronger push for international market penetration, and innovations in streaming and digital distribution could be key to reclaiming a top 10 position.

[YourEDM] kstko drops liberating anthem ‘My Melody’ with 1MO & NEVVE [Premiere]

Burgeoning LA-based producer kstko released his breathtaking track ‘My Melody’ featuring 1MO, and vocals from NEVVE on 21 March. 
The single encapsulates the essence of self-expression, and the freedom that comes with letting yourself go while dancing.‘My Melody’ is a striking track with a throbbing bassline, and a cinematic, uplifting atmosphere which allows the listener to escape from the heaviness of life. The single will seamlessly translate onto any dancefloor, while still holding space for emotional resonance. 1MO adds his signature bass-driven touch to the track, creating a ferocious momentum throughout, while NEVVE’s vocals provide a sense of warmth and comfort. 
As a producer, DJ and songwriter who merges elements of electronic rock, hip-hop, trap and orchestral music, kstko has carved out his own distinct soundscape, which he dubs “MID EVIL”. This genre is a sublime balance of light and dark, which is also exhibited in ‘My Melody’.
Speaking on the track, kstko shared; “after moving to LA in the summer of 2024, I was swept up in a whirlwind of excitement and nerves. When I first heard this topline, it resonated with me, enabling me to fully immerse myself in the music and release any fear of failure. I hope my listeners can experience the same, losing themselves in the rhythm of the beat.” 
In his short, yet impactful career, kstko has received support from the likes of Fred Again for his remix of ‘Rumble’, and has been on a roll since he quit his day job last year to pursue music full time.
A gripping music video has been released alongside the single too. Filmed in black and white and inspired by the iconic movie Black Swan it perfectly translates the depth and energy of the track.
